    Morning all!

    Dundeedoll: hi and welcome. :hello:

    After a grim few weeks, where my eating and exercise levels have slipped badly, I'm going to try my utmost to get back on track this week.

    Today:
    B: bran flakes with semi-skimmed and a spoon of trail mix. 2x coffee.
    L: rye bread with marmite and HM jam (seperate slices :rotfl:)
    D: roast meat (not sure what yet), veg, roast potatoes and HM Eton Mess.
    S: fruit, a few nuts.

    Exercise: at least 10,000 steps plus lots of housework and laundry.

    Have a lovely Sunday all. :)

    Morning all :)

    Not really thinking too much of food at all today as have a very poorly mutt (again) so will be taking him to the v*e*t tomorrow. He's not eaten for days and is losing too much weight :(. However I'm plodding on, so -

    B - spicy, fruity porridge (and to think I detested porridge til I came on this forum!)
    D - Bacon chop, dry fried egg, small jacket. Will try to tempt muttley with a bit of bacon, he usually loves it.
    T - 3 crackerbread spread w/lf Greek yogurt, 1xvegemite, 1xmarmalade, 1xplain
    Snacks - banana, grapes, apple, plums, melon
    Exercise - 20 mins pulm then gardening

    Have a super day, wishing you sunshine whatever the weather :)

    Have been avidly devouring this thread (rather than biccies) with my cuppa. Since it's 4 weeks till easter (started jan with financial diet and didnt want to start another major challenge till that well underway) i will set my target at 6 pounds. Started yesterday (but will now change to Fridays) at 12:4 fruit and veg at SM yesterday larger than previous week so better make sure i eat it :-)
    B: cereal (posh muesli, no added sugar, needs using rather than saving for special occassion!)
    L: egg on toast with salad
    D: something and rice
    Snacks: 2 apples, 1 piece toast with marmitr

    Sorry about your doggy, Sparrer, hope mutt gets better soon x
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Evening All

    It's been a lovely day here, sunny and warm. I had a stroll through our village earlier and it was full of people sitting around eating icecreams and generally enjoying themselves. I had an afternoon enjoying myself in the kitchen, cooking a roast dinner and making lemon curd whilst DH was making cheese.

    B: Banana
    L: Prawn salad wrap. Raspberries with Greek yoghurt.
    D: Roast chicken with HM stuffing, Yorkshire puddings, peas, carrots and mashed swede. (Everyone else had roast potatoes but I didn't and DS and DDiL then had pancakes for pudding.) 3 small tangerines.

    Exercise: Short walk into the village to try and buy a card for Mother's Day that says Mothering Sunday as that's what my Mum likes. I couldn't find one so ended up making my own.

    Not thick at all wuvvies, it's pulmonary exercise designed for people like me who smoked for too many years and ended up with copd (a lung condition). It's main aim is to open the airways but does include step and very gentle aerobics. Sorry to confuse, I think in future I'll just say exercise cos I'm only befuddling peeps :o.

    Thank you Molly, he's certainly not himself but will no doubt (I hope!) be bouncing around like a good 'un when he's cost me an arm and a leg after a visit to that place tomorrow :)

    Combining this with not throwing food away challenge is well challenging
    B 1/4 tub cream cheese on toast (DD2 didnt know the new only get half loaf outta freezer rule so need to manage bread carefully)
    L half of pizza left by DD2 when she was home for weekend with salad
    D spag bol and sugar free jelly (no, not together!)
    S fruit (not very keen on fruit, so this may change to veg soup)
    Ex 10,000 steps and some gentle stretching
    Happy healthy eating everyone. The only pounds i'm putting on this year are in my bank account

    Morning all. Just a quick message as usual to ask if Ragz can put me down for another 1lb loss (now 9 in total). Thanks Ragz.

    Will catch up on the thread properly at lunchtime. Hope you all had a great weekend! xx
