Ragz, I found the recipe on another thread a couple of days ago.

The link is here. http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2007/oct/06/recipes.foodanddrink

They are really nice but DH is intent on tweaking the recipe slightly. He made 12 bread buns rather than the 9 mentioned in the recipe as they are very big.

Started so well. Good session in the gym last night, resisted chips on the way home, lots of veg with supper, no alcohol. Then today, all day meeting.
Beans on toast for brekkie so i wouldnt be tempted by the pastries:T
Lunch egg may sarnie and a nana (resisted bikkies) :T
Going home an orange icelolly
And then.....
TOTM chocolate monster. But ignoring that,did have sensible supper and again no alcohol. Oh well as eric says always look on the bright side of life :rotfl:

Just a quick hello as I'm heading off to work.

Rosewood, those bread buns look fab, have copied the recipe too and will now make some at the weekend. I love baking on my days off (hubbie now takes it into work to share to stop me eating it) but those I think if they turn out as nice as Mr RW's are stopping at home.

Todays plan

L: l/o hm chicken curry and rice (DH didnt eat his yesterday), apple
small jacket, tuna, sweetcorn & lf coleslaw, yoghurt
S: banana, ?nv bar
E: none apart from what I get at work

Have a fab day everyone

just catching up with the thread after my past two days in work, have been very good only taking in smaller portions and nothing too highly calorific and managed NOT to stray away from my pack up and made a pot of low fat chicken noodle soup to have as a supper when i got back:D

Today i have had
B . porridge made with water added bit ss milk at end
thin slice hm bread toasted
L stasumma as out walking
D baked potato 1 tbsp salad cream , h/m bolognese

exercise have walked 8 miles with dog and will go for C25k week 2 (3) later when dinnner has settled down

am feeling possitive and not deprived though have cut down on portion sizes amazing how much i must have ate without thinking, keeping a diary of eating is definately making me focus

keep up good work

Not a bad day today, went to gym after work and put most of the building to shame. Came home, and found out it's my new housemates 21st today, so we had dinner out, with cake and wine. I'm going to bake a cake for her on Sat, as I feel very bad for not knowing it was her birthday (especially a landmark one!)

I'm spending so much money on food atm, with a couple of £6 top up visits in between. So I'm putting a stop to it now and adopting a frugal approach - along the lines of what they mentioned in Hairy Dieters (being young in the 70s), that if I over-eat today, I don't eat tomorrow. Obviously not so extreme as that, but if I buy crackers to last the week, and eat them all today, then I'm not allowed to go buy a replacement, I just have to go hungry. If I eat too much Spag Bol, then tomorrow it's just bread and butter. I'll let you know if this helps the waistline too - I know it will need a lot more organisation from me.

Morning all

Last day shift today:j, its been a busy busy week.
B: usual all bran and fruit
L: hm cottage pie with extra frozen veg
??
S: cup a soup, fruit, lf yoghurt, nv bar (if i get relly hungry)

Hubbie has said he'll make dinner tonight as I'm day off tomorrow, usually that means something with oven chips but he said he'd try to do something healthier. So its a surprise.

No exercise again today, can't wait for tomorrow to get out with shammy dog or go for a run, even if it is raining. Its funny how you miss the exercise, feel as if my body is craving it.

Hope everyone has a good day, despite the rain.
