:rotfl::rotfl: Well I do have my hidden talents!
Just back from making the most of the sunshine and a good 90 mins walk around a National Trust property with the poocher. I managed to resist the home made icecream but did succumb to a packet of crisps that I've only eaten half of so far (that will change).
Tea time soon, must be good so I can negate the crisps. Hopefully all the walking has already done that.

Oh dear ive been abit naughty today

Me and OH decided to abandon all chores and get the train to England's 2nd city today !! Which is not too far away

So although I have walked to the train station and back (approx 40mins) plus walked a good few miles around the city here is what I have consumed- if you are sensitive to over indulgence please look away now :rotfl:

B:Museli s/s milk
Brunch :eek:: 2 rasers bacon, 2 wholemeal toast & butter, 1/2 tin beans, scrambled eggs
Lunch/tea: Ate out at a Thai restuarant and shared with OH- red Thai curry, King Prawn Choo Chee, jasmine rice, plain noodles plus 2 x beers each
S: Pint of shandy in a pub on the way back to train station :rotfl:

May have a piece of toast or something later........

It has been a spendy and not very diet friendly day but me & OH have had a lovely time and sometimes life is for enjoying

Hope everyone has had a lovely day too

200g Chapati Flour
Approx 100ml water
PInch of Salt

Put flour in bowl add salt
gradually add water until dough like
Knead for a couple of mins on a floured surface (until not sticky)
Rest in a bowl covered with a tea towel for 1/2 hour
Cut into 6 and roll into balls
On a floured surface roll out with rolling pin into thin circle shapes
Dry fry in a pan until one side looks set (underneath is brown in places and dough starts to bubble)
Turn over and dry fry other side for approx 10-15 seconds

Thank you ssm, looks too easy, and economical, to be true! Mind you if anyone can mess something up I can, but will certainly give it a go. Just got to find chapati flour, do I get it in the usual supermarkets?

Change of plan for tea, I enjoyed the dinner time salad so much I had similar, but without the chicken, for tea. Hg tomatoes, cucumber beetroot and potatoes (4 tiny new ones) and a few prawns. All fresh and very yum

Evening

Right, this week I have lost 329 pounds - pounds money that is! New laptop is mine - when I get 15 yr old son to help me set it up!

Weight loss is 0 - STS this week - must do better next week althought I do feel thinner.

Today - not too bad (if you skip the visit to Costa this morning!)

b- cereal & skim milk, OJ
s- lemon tart, diet pepsi
l- duck wrap, crisps
d- lamb & potato bake - Nigella recipe cooked by 13 yr old son - couldn't be nicer!

e- dog walk this morning & 4mile walk this afternoon - geocaching out with the family and the pooch-boy!

No other snacks so not too bad and good day planned for tomorrow!

savesummore I've made chappatis before with just normal plain flour too - so if you can't find any chappati flour, plain flour will do! And I've gotten about 10 from just one cup of flour, so works out very economical!

I do really like chappatis, but the problem is I love them when they're all fresh, not so much when they're re-heated, so I wind up eating too many when they're first cooked!

Well we had afew more beers last night lets just say ive entered all my calories into MFP and I DRANK 1000 cals in addition to what I ate :eek::eek:

Bread and water for the rest of the week then :rotfl:

Have done 'The Shred' with a mild hangover this morning I wouldnt recommend it but am hoping it will blow the cobwebs away

Ill report back with eats later

Have a good Sunday all

WelshWoofer

Morning all! Hope the hangover isn't too bad Savesummore? Mine vary, I either feel so sick I can't eat at all or I have to eat everything I can get my hands on.

Went to the comedy thing last night and was an angel and only had 1 diet coke - I did have 2 choc digestives when I got home though - it was that or a takeaway so it could have been worse.

Done a dog walk and a 5K run this morning and will do another dog walk later for at least 30 mins. I'm hungry today - you know you have those days when you just want to eat? Will do my best to control it.
Hope everyone has a good day.
