Morning all
Busy weekend of doing not a lot, little jobs round the house etc. We were supposed to be going away camping but opted to postpone with the weather forecast!

Today’s meals:
Breakfast: nectarine, yoghurt :j I think I’ve finally broken my weird aversion to yoghurts! Yay! Now if only I could open the milk without gagging I’d feel positively back to normal
Lunch: LO roast chicken sandwich, babybel, apple, satsumas
Snack: rocky bar
Dinner: chicken noodle salad with satay sauce, ice lolly

Afternoon All.

I've just had the most gorgeous lunch and it took less than 10 minutes to make from start to finish.

B: Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon.
L: Prawns in a cream and garlic sauce with courgette ribbons.



It was a handful of prawns cooked in butter with 4 cloves of garlic and then double cream and a little bit of grated cheese stirred in. I made the courgette ribbons with my vegetable peeler and microwaved them for 1 minute and poured the prawn sauce on top - and seasoned with black pepper. Really lovely!

I'm not sure yet what will be for dinner. I have an extra shift at work shortly as well as tonight's so will see what time I get home and how much time I have between the two. I may do a stuffed pepper or see whether there is anything reduced at the Co-Op that I fancy cooking on the way home.

Exercise: 3.3 mile run/walk. With all the walks to work etc by tonight I'll also have done about 4.5 miles of walking.

RoseWood the prawn dish looks yummy . I might try half rf cream and half ff yogurt to keep the fat content down (I'm not a lover of much cream so often mix it with yogurt). Also an rf mature cheese, I'm using Mr S's atm and it's actually not bad. Thanks for the idea, I'll use it as a centrepiece for a warm salad as the weather doesn't allow for cold ones - yet!

B - missed
D - 1/2 lean gammon, tomato, mushrooms, red onion & garlic, fried egg on a slice of hm bread
T - 3 crackerbread spread w/ff yogurt 1 each marmite/prawns/marmalade
S - pear, plums, apple, kiwi, nana
E - 45 mins gym

Your meals all look scrummy, I think I will enjoy joining you As I am diabetic I am supposed to eat carbs at every meal, preferably slow release according to my doc but I do struggle, especially with breakfast and force down a couple of weetbics with a banana most mornings. I like porridge in the winter, but really stuggle for ideas on workdays. I dont like any other cereal or muselli (sp?)

B - weetbics and banana
L - piri piri chicken salad, 2 crispbreads with cheese spread, 2 satsumas
D - Lasagne, home made wedges, salad & sweetcorn. Rhubarb yoghurt
Snacks, melon, apple.

Exercise. 2 hours shopping today :eek:, but as thats usual on a monday I dont suppose it counts... planning on going for 30 mins power walk later.

Hi Folks

I don’t know where the day has gone – I think this weather is really getting to me and affecting my motivation – spent the day pottering around doing lots of little things but not achieving very much. I knew the way I was feeling I had to stay at home otherwise the bank account/credit card would have taken a battering.

Anyway managed to get my menu plan sorted for the next 7-10days and for today it is –
B – Boiled Egg, Oatcake
L – Cold Meat, l/o couscous & salad
D – Pork with Vietnamese Slaw

Skint yet Again – I had to stop buying breakfast cereal, I was tending to have it at breakfast and then again as an evening snack I try and vary my breakfasts (I get bored easily) if you have the time in the morning what about something savoury I like things like parma ham & asparagus with grilled tomatoes on wholemeal/granary toast, or poached egg/beans on toast. I also found a nice recipe on the bbc goodfood website for Lentil & Sweet Potato Pate which is also nice spread on granary toast/oatcakes or what about peanut butter.

Evening All

Another quick post. I had a baked mini Camembert with home made red onion marmalade, home grown salad leaves, cucumber and mixed seeds for my evening meal. I may have a small portion of Greek yoghurt with HM lemon sauce shortly.




Snack: Salted cashew nuts.

Afternoon all!
Not a bad day so far but I have felt hungry all day - think its the exercise yesterday.

Breakfast - 2 cereals bars (240 cals)
Mid Morning - pack of Oddities (130 cals)
Lunch - 5 crispbreads (100 cals), 4 cheese triangles (100 cals), 2 satsumas (50 cals), grapes (100 cals)
Tea - chana masala and pitta bread (480 cals)

So that's 1200 cals already:eek: B*gger, I didn't think it was that many. Hope the appetite returns to normal tomorrow.
I will allow myself some strawberries later as a sweet but will try to keep it at that.

No exercise today apart from dog walking, legs still recovering from yesterday, normal service will resume tomorrow.

Evening all,

Not a great day-

S: 2 x brazil nuts, apple
L: 20g chesse and ham salad, orange, grapes
S: Lf yog, sn*ck a j*cks, about 5 chewy sweets :eek:
T: HM beef rendang (thai curry) with rice

I was all set for a fresh start today and was going to do a shred but ive been really fed up at work just lately and got called into office for a meeting (read telling off) with MD and sales manager so was late home and now have no desire to shred

Sometimes it really does feel the world is against you

Sorry for the miserable post
