Evening All,

I've had another busy day. DD decided to stay the night and came to Pilates with me this morning and had lunch before driving back.

B: Banana sliced with double cream
L: Grilled goats cheese salad - with mixed HG leaves, radish sprouts and cress (both HG on the window sill this week), tomatoes, pepper, mushroom, beetroot and mixed seeds.
Steak with HM oven chips, mushrooms, onions, peas and tomato.
Snack: Finishing off the jar of peanut butter!

Exercise: 1 hour Pilates. Various bits of walking around so about 3 miles.

Haha oh it's not! I shudder to think how many calories per slice. However, dairy free marg has around 300 cals per 100g less than real butter, my light soya milk has 30 cals per 100mls less than ordinary semi skimmed milk, and egg substitute contains virtually no calories compared to around 70 in an egg. I know at the end of the day it is still cake and still contains chocolate and fat and sugar and flour - but it is SLIGHTLY lower calorie than an ordinary version! :rotfl:

Anyway, did you never hear of the rule? Chocolate products contain no calories for one week per month if you're a woman (or one week three times a year if you're me!)

Hi PaintingRainbows, They're a nice bunch here - do stick around

I've had a fun day taking Boy2 to the orthodontist to have a fixed brace fitted - I think that's an excellent diet tool - he really can't face eating tonight!

b- Porridge & apple, OJ
l- LO Rice salad, crisps, penguin wafer
d- thai chicken ready meal - you really would lose weight if you ate those all the time! I've just finished and I'm still hungry!

Jazzercise tonight so I might reward myself with a muller rice when I get home!

Still here!
Had a rubbish day yesterday - too tired to cook and so ended up eating loads of rubbish.
Been much better today though and am under my cals so far and have taken the dog for a nice long walk.

Will weigh in the morning - not hoping for much this week, maybe even a little gain - hormones and tiredness played havoc with the week eating-wise.:o

Paintingrainbows

Thanks for the lovely welcome!

So today has been okish apart from dinner:

Breakfast - 2 slices of toast with dairy free butter and coffee
Snack - 2 ryvita topped with sliced banana
Lunch - chicken broth, 3 rice cakes and a Granny Smith apple
Snack - 2 hm Twinks Hobnobs! (I work them out at 70 cals - they are small and made with dairy free spread)
Dinner - ribeye steak with hm miso risotto and roasted vegetables and a very naughty Gu pudding (258 cals) since its hubby's birthday. Also a small red wine.

That's a pretty heavy 1900 cals but I allow myself an extra 400 at the moment for breastfeeding.

Hi to the newbies! Good luck with the Christmas challenge!

Another long day today, 2 hr drive for an 8.30 site meeting, walked around site all day, 2 hr drive back. Didn't drink very much today as no access to loos anywhere. Got to do it all again tomorrow!

B: muesli and FF yoghurt (wolfed down half of it, ran out of time, binned rest)
L: Bagel with LF cream cheese, apple, raisins
mince and tatties from the freezer with some 'real American sweetcorn', 3 breadsticks
S: nutrigrain bar, 4 pieces of tablet

My throat's getting really sore atm, so I've had a few throat sweets as well. Hope it goes away soon, don't have time to be sick!

I am not sure how the weigh in works - do I just let you know my weight?

The last 2 days haven't been very good due to decorating and hubby sleeping at weird times so starting a fresh tomorrow.

Exercise: Walk dogs 30 mins (hubby usually does this)
B: 2 Weetabix, Banana
L: Ham Salad, Apple and Yoghurt
Spaghetti Bolognese
S: Satsuma
3 Pints Water

Going to try and have a 30 min walk at lunch instead of jumping in the car

Well, I am shocked and confused to report 2lbs loss!!!!

No idea how it could have happened after the week I've had....but I stepped on the scales about 20 times in lots of different places and they weren't budging!

Very pleased
