Well the last 2 nights I've woken with an empty belly feeling, which I think is thirst instead of hunger. Exhausted, and had to squeeze in 12 hours of travel in the last 30 hours. Today I ate:
B: croissant (my mum bought these in for me)
L: curry with mum; veg pakora followed by a rather horrible chicken chasni (either the spices were weird or it was actually turkey...)chicken and bacon sarnie on train (I did just grab cheese and ham, bit then noticed this was lower cal, fat and salt content)
S: half a protein bar, small punnett of raspberries, around a tbsp of dried fruits, half a bar of fudge
I need to identify some good dry curries I think, my favourites all use cream...0 -
Today:
breakfast - cheese and beetroot sandwich
lunch - salad with couple of prawn sandwiches
tea - HM chow mein
Good old Paul still trying his hardest! I would recommend him as he's been fab at dealing with cravings.0 -
B - toasted Thin with marmalade
L - mushroom omelette
D - salad with slice of beef
S - banana, grapes, nectarine
E - gardening, cleaned inside windows upstairs. Didn't realise how grubby they were til I opened them for some fresh air and the sun hit them
Sweet dreams0 -

Anyhow today:

oh dear, not doing well today. Went to the local shop to buy sandpaper, and they are selling large bars of chocolate reduced from £2.49 to 49p...well I do like a bargain...I know, I know, it's only a bargain if I was going to buy it anyway (which I wasn't)...so I bought 2 bars
And now we have a power cut, so guess what I'm eating?
And I was doing so well this week.
If you could live one day of your life over again, which day would you choose?0 -
Today:
B: Porridge made with apple juice
L: feta and cheddar cheese pitta breadAubergine and chickpea (I want to say curry?) dish made with aubergine, chickpeas, cumin, smoked garlic, lemon juice and tomatoes, served with a toasted tortilla
S: some seeds and nuts, a small HM protein bite, half a fudge bar (tie over from Easter), ice lolly, bag of crisps, 5 crackers
Wow, a lot of snacks in there. I didn't realise how much I'd had at the time. Ate the fudge bar to 'get rid of it', the crisps were because I was getting irritable at work (tiredness).0 -
breakfast - a banana
lunch - mushroom and tomato sandwich.
tea - piece of pizza, few new potatoes and HM coleslaw. One slice of bread with jam afterwards.0 -
When I weighed myself on Tuesday, I'd lost a lb, but it's come back today. Think this is explainable - I'm shattered, my stomach has been a bit strange for 3 days, and I had a fair calorie intake on Wednesday with eating quick and convenient things.
So this week is a STS please KW!
I woke to go to the gym this AM, but I was too tired and decided to sleep for the extra hour and go swimming tonight instead.
I don't know what's up with my tummy. It feels really thirsty, and that thirsty verging on hungry feeling keeps waking me up around 4am. I've been drinking around 2-2.5l a day, but it doesn't seem to shake the thirsty feeling.0 -
A bit of a shock when I weighed on this morning, have a gain of 2lb since last week. Hardly a good start to the new challenge! At home until Tuesday so a good opportunity to get back to sensible eating/exercising for a few days
B - Toasted thin spread with ff yogurt and marmalade
L - egg salad with teasp rf mayo mixed with ff yogurt
D - jacket with rf spread and prawns
S -banana, nectarine, grapes
E - 2x6 mins on tm done, another 4 planned
Good luck all0 -
sts for me this week please
not the best start to a new challenge but will stroll on hope everyone does better than i did....have eaten a salad and had a sulk bet sulking burns loads of calories
tessa have a great weekendonwards and upwards0
