in the 70's and of course before then most sahm's had a baking day - mine was a Tuesday. The cake and biscuit tins would be filled, pies would be made as was the daily batch of bread. Money was at a premium so the children got a couple of biscuits or a slice of cake with their drink (usually Nesquick in Summer, Bournvita when it was cold) after school. They were allowed a sweetie from the tin after dinner, and on Sundays they could have fizzy pop. There were no multi-packs of crisps so a bag would last two or three days. We were all quite fit and healthy as most people grew fruit and veg.

That's pretty much how I remember it as a child. Only we had Crusha milkshake but only as a treat, not everyday. We drank tea, coffee, water, hm lemonade or weak squashes. But I do remember "older women" being a sort of square shape which doesn't seem to happen now.

Well done Sparrer!

I am sulking, have put on a pound. I am now 11 stone 12 pounds, I am sure I was 11 stone 5 a few months ago, that means I have put on half a stone with the odd pound here. And that's with watching what I eat, imagine what I would weigh if I wasn't!

Of course I stuffed myself with junk this morning to make up for it. Oh there really is no hope for me!

Well done to everyone who lost weight this week :-D and keep at it those who didn't :-D

I've been looking forward to today. My WI for today is:

-2.2lbs! under my 3-4lb target but a loss is a loss so i'm happy :-D

Added to my total that makes a grand total of -7lbs in 3 weeks! That's 1/2 a stone! I'm right happy!

Todays Meal Plan is:

B - Porrige. Glass of orange juice. Cup of tea.
L - Homemade Soup
D - Homemade tuna & sweetcorn fish cakes with homemade oven chips.

Snacks - possibly some fruit later on but I'm not decided yet.

Exercise - 10 minutes on Wii Sports Tennis before breakfast. & hoping to do another 10 before lunch and again before dinner.

I'll put a couple of photo's up later of the homemade soup & the homemade fishcakes and oven chips. To inspire :-D

Hi all :wave:

Just popping by to say hello to you all again now that I'm back from another lovely holiday. Incredibly busy this and next week so won't be able to post much for a while but just wanted to declare another STS for this week. Can't bear getting on the scales so soon after a holiday!

Speak soon and keep up the hard work :T

Afternoon All,

It's very wet again here today and there are lots of flood warnings for the local area. I did manage to get out for a run though inbetween showers.

B: Milky coffee
L: Grilled avocado with cheese, HM red onion marmalade, cherry tomatoes.



Snack: Large iced coffee
Not decided yet

Exercise: 5 mile run/walk (3 min:1 min). 1 mile walk.

I have STS this week but have lost a few cm when I measured this morning. Well done Sparrer on achieving your target - that is what I am aiming for too - I think we are about the same height too. Well done all other losers too. I hope I can get down to 9st for next Friday.

That looks lovely. What exactly did you do to the avocado?

Rose_Wood

All I did was slice the avocado in 2 and remove the stone and then squirted a bit of lime juice in the cavity and over the flesh, topped it with grated cheese and popped it under the grill for 10 minutes. I've never done it before but had an avocado going soft and didn't fancy a salad in this weather. I would definitely do it again but might season the flesh with salt and pepper before adding the cheese next time. It went really well with the red onion marmalade, which I made earlier this week.

Here's a photo of today's lunch to inspire you all :-D.

Home Made Lentil & Vegetable Soup:



Doesn't look as appetising as the Heinz tinned soups BUT it tastes so good!

I'll put a photo up later on of tonight's all home made dinner :-D
