Weight Loss the Old Style Way! Part 8. Please read posts 1 and 2 before posting.

LavenderBees

Evening, all

well, I'm proud of myself! It may not be much, but I've managed it! A whole day without any treats...:j and this despite an awfully hard day at work of the kind that would normally have me reaching for the treats/alcohol. But NO! I have resisted :T

So, as this posting my food seems to be focusing my mind, I'm going to continue even though I'm going to bore you as I'm very repetitive :rotfl:

So...tomorrow....

Brekkie - hm muesli
lunch - hm tomato & lentil soup & hm bread
dinner - freezer surprise again :eek: - looks like a portion of chicken, bacon & cheese bake

Treats - none as I hope to make it to Friday without any

Exercise - well, I didn't manage a walk today. Hope to do better tomorrow especially as the weather is so glorious.

Sweet dreams everyone, and have a good day tomorrow.

Congrats on no snacking LavenderBees, that's something I've not achieved yet - though I do have fruit and call it part of my 5-a-day

Listing your menus might be boring to other people (I have a repertoire of 2 breakfasts!) but if it helps you, then go ahead and do it. Whatever works can only be a good thing

LavenderBees well done for not snacking, I am trying to stop too! I must say though this fine weather gets me outdoors more and I find I am not mooching about the house and snacking like I do when the weather is bad.
I do like reading what others are eating, it not only gives me new ideas for what to eat but also lets me compare my diet to what others are doing to lose weight, I have started doing it again this week and it has helped to keep me on track too.

B - GF museli, 1pear

L - Hm Butternut squash and chickpea curry

T - Ham salad, 1 slice bread, 2 meringue shells

Snacks,( hopefully), a couple of bits of fruit

Morning all another beautiful day. I'm just popping out to Lid! for some of their 1.99 compost (really havent done well on my GC this month , but it will be saved back later fingers XX).

I bought some seeds a few weeks ago so will be sowing some basil, parsley, chives and marjoram for my summer salads.

Todays menu plan
B - boiled egg & oatcake
L - spicy parsnip soup, lentil & pepper pate on crackers.
D - grilled bacon, cauliflower cheese, green beans
S = will have some fruit at some point.

Just heard on the radio news researchers have found that people who eat chocolate are slimmer:think: Mmmmmm....may just have to break into that box of chocs I got yesterday

Have a good

Sparrer - thanks for the fish tips. The stuff we use is Aldi frozen cod and so much water comes out when I bake it that it washes off any flavouring I tried to add so we had it with a small amount of cheese sauce in the end.

Needtobethrifty - I saw that about the chocolate, I shall reintroduce it to my diet immediately!

I did my swim so treated myself to a Waitrose tiramisu (219 cal so not bad), they were 50% extra free, so 3 pots rather than 2 so one pot for me and dh and then one left over. It niggled me all evening but I DID NOT EAT IT! That took a lot of willpower, it will be my treat tonight.

Mini exercise challenge (aiming for 30 minutes min each day this week, mon-fri)
Monday - 1hr DVD and 1hr swim
Tuesday - 30 minutes DVD (still worked up a sweat!)

Food
Breakfast - Banana before doing the DVD and then yogurt and tinned peaches.
Snack - Pistachio nuts
Lunch - Lentil soup
Snack - I may have that tiramisu as my afternoon treat.
Dinner - Pork stir fry, lots of veggies, noodles.

Afternoon all
I'm back from the hen weekend Had a brilliant time, but ended up taking yesterday as hols as I was so tired i couldn't lift my head off the pillow in the morning! Didn't help that morning sickness is really kicking in, DH was still away yesterday and I couldn't open the fridge without gagging Got to be good for the diet though! :rotfl:

Today:
Breakfast: granola, raspberries, dried apricots and yoghurt.(Only ate half as feeling v queasy) Ginger biscuit.
Snack: babybel
Lunch: ham salad sandwich, pineapple, kiwi fruit, fruit corner
snack: 2 biscuits and a glass of milk (maybe)
Dinner: up to DH, he's at home today.

Having real issues deciding what to eat, can't seem to make up my mind about anything!

Just back from my walk this lunchtime (yep, falls over in disbelief). how motivated am I at the moment?? What a difference a bit of sunshine makes! :j

Yes, I agree. I definitely eat (a little!) less when the weather is lovely.

My own menu this week is pretty deficient on the fruit front as I'm not going shopping until Friday (my own wee grocery challenge). I'm hoping there'll be a meeting or training course at work, so I can snaffle some left over fruit (which is what I managed to do last week :T)

Oops sorry that was a typo, it should have read lentil and sweet potato pate; I had it in my mind to have some sliced peppers with it. Its a BBC Good Food recipe I tried to do a link but must be doing something wrong - but it is quite easy to find.

Tried again, but just getting link to google.
