Hi all
Didint get up this morning to do exercise DVD was just too tired but I think it not a bad thing to have a day off every 3-4 days?
I watched that dipatches programme and think the lesson was 'stay away from processed foods where ever possible' as food companies only have their profit at heart not our health!!
Today:
B: 2 wheatabix type things, sprinkle blueberries, s/s milk, 1 slice hovis best of both medium with scrape butter
S: strawberries, blueberris & greek yog
L: beef and hummous salad, 2 ryveta style things, apple, satsuma
S: red grapes, boiled sweet
T: salmon fillet, jacket potato and salad
E: NONE boo now wish I had made the effort to get up!
Last night I ate 1/2 naked bar so will treat myself to the other half tonight after volunteering
Sparrer- glad you enjoying your proper f&f again

I woke in the middle of the night feeling really sick. It kept me awake for ages, but I suffered my way through work today. I felt pretty tired and low on energy, so bought a flapjack, but accidentily got a caramel shortcake out the vending machine instead. It was so horrible! Not even worth the calories...
A normal day otherwise, felt so much better after having a bit of time out the office. Lots of clambering about and fresh air.0 -
Had a reasonable day today food wise.
Just watched the dispatches prog....very interesting.Loved our trip to the West Coast USA. Death Valley is the place to go!0 -
Evening All
Not a bad day today
B.porridge and strawberries
L. Tuna and sweetcorn pasta salad
D. 2 medium jacket pots, baked beans, sprinkle of cheese, 1 panko chicken (damm my Mum makes good chicken)
Pud 3 sluces of honeydew melon.
Only 6037 steps but spent 6 hours moving boxes and filing paperwork today so standing still but lots of lifting!
Lol franigan i did laugh at mfp look of disapproval!
My pedometre tracks directly across to mfp and adds my steps into the activity, calculations seems a little odd though sometimes.

Nothing much to report food-wise, eaten well the last couple of days.
I am soooo tired! Really not sleeping well...missing my own bedroom, bed affecting my sore back, thinking about work...I've taken to leaving my bedside light on all night, and reading, then sleeping a bit, then picking the book up again...
I'm sure I read somewhere that people who are tired eat more
Managing to function during the day though! Up early to get into town for a blood test today, then went to one huge shop, felt overwhelmed by all the stuff ,and went home, I'm not a good shopper :rotfl:
Had a walk in the afternoon...it rained, again.
And now DS1 and myself have just finished building another flat pack wardrobe...he did the hard work, I was supervisor
I'm cream crackered, but keeping busy with the house stuff keeps me away from the food.
savesummore, what's a naked bar? Is this something I need to know?

It's a wholefood type bar, all natural.
After watching Dispatches, found this article.
The more I read and see, the more i think, have full fat, normal sugar products, but just less.

Morning! Sooo..let's have a look:Today it should be:
B- Porridge and coffee
S- Banana
L- half a portion of [STRIKE]veggie cottage pie[/STRIKE] + [STRIKE]2 [/STRIKE] 1 apple - thought it was cottage pie but it was baked pasta (I made a big batch for the freezer, it's lasting me forever! Bored with it now!)
D-[STRIKE] Bacon, mushroom, potato, leek, cheese Frittata[/STRIKE] with [STRIKE]mixed salad [/STRIKE]or steamed cauliflower and carrots - we also are painting (kitchen and utility room for now). Too much mess to cook anything so I microwaved the veggie cottage pie and added the leftover roast chicken (very little each) + I made a total of 4spoonfuls of gravy with the granules
E: Tonight I'll do some exercise too. My exercise schedule goes along with "when my hair needs washing". How very convenient..:cool:
- Did 2x9 mins high-intensity interval training + 10 mins pilates for abs
Will let you know if I managed to stick to it!
Have a good day!!
MFP says +259.
See how I get on today!

Ellie: how long left to finish your bedroom?
Franigan, tomorrow is walls and lifting the old carpet, and then I'm hoping to get the carpet laid on Saturday, and after that I just need to pin down a DS to help me carry the furniture back in
I've spent this morning painting a chest of drawers and an old wooden headboard...second coat this afternoon.
I feel like I'm on the home straight now, apart from a few little bits and pieces still to do, that will be all 3 bedrooms redecorated
The worst part will be organizing and sorting out my clothes, it may be time for a big try-on to see what fits properly!
If you could live one day of your life over again, which day would you choose?0 -
B - F&F,1/2 nana, ff Greek yogurt
D - Bean casserole, side salad
T - 3 x Crackerbread with peanut butter, blue cheese, lemon cheese
S - celery, melon, plum
E - 6x6 mins with Mr W. Just in from an hour in the front garden with help from neighbour's 14 y/o DD who wants to earn some money for a trip to the Harry Potter studio on Friday. She's promised to help me tomorrow too, and walk the dog, which will be well worth the wand she wants to buy in the gift shop
Enjoy the sunshine0
