  • I'm having a bit of a hunger day today, and have been indulging it - helped myself to 2 bits of a colleagues birthday cake (small bits), and had a cheesy pita bread for dessert tonight. Otherwise i've eaten as normal.

    I did weigh in this morning, and am pleased to announce a 0.5lb loss this week. Expect todays escapades will catch up to me by next week!

    Oh dear, I like to be good on a Thursday before Friday weigh in, but all my plans went wrong today!

    B: muesli, ss milk
    L: one slice dry wholemeal toast (stomach was hurting)
    D: 4 slices pizza, little tub of after eight dessert (very sickly)

    Dinner was meant to be a stew and potatoes...I'm still an amateur with the slow cooker and don't really know what I'm doing yet. I put some beef and a big pile of veg in the cooker, making sure I cut the bits up smaller than I would if using a pot, with almost boiled water. It was on from 8am, and the veg was still pretty hard at 5.30pm.
    So a last minute panic what to have..Ds suggested pizza and I didn't argue :o The potatoes were ready, so they're in the fridge.
    Anyone know where I'm going wrong?


    If you could live one day of your life over again, which day would you choose?
  • Oh dear...bad week, seem to have been starving all week and not helped by someone at work bringing in my favourite choccie biscuits...not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in!

    Of course you can join in! Do you want to join in the challenge as well? If you include this weekend then there are 8 more weigh ins for it (I would need to know how much you think you can lose in that time)
    Must use my stash up!

    A very carby day today, a friend visited for breakfast and brought the most scrumptious olive oil and sea salt crusted artisan bread loaf. I did not stand a chance. The afternoon saw me eat a buttered crumpet. Otherwise healthy. And, more importantly, day 3 without sugar.
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).
