Minicopper- your love affair with your bread maker made me laugh :rotfl:

Right would anyone like to come round and kick me very hard in the rear to get me motivated? :rotfl:I cant 'get going' so im going to start a fresh on Monday and just try and limit the damage this weekend
I think I will go swimming tomorrow maybe if i close my eyes i can pretend im still on hols in the swimming pool :rotfl:

Oh savesummore I had just gotten him out of my head, and you've reminded me again! I'm going to go curl up in bed with a weepy film and a box of chocol... *glass of water and commiserate. psst- I'll kick you if you kick me!

Well today is day one of my 'perfect week':
B: cereal with FF yoghurt
L: LF Cheese on toasted ciabatta bread
cous cous stuffed veg and a spring roll
S: 6 breadsticks, half a punnet of strawberries

So it maybe wasn't a perfect day, but I didn't have any sweeties, so that was a start, and I kept clear of the wine.

Theatregirl- beware with lowfat snacks as they replace fat with sugar that gets coverted in your body into guess what.......fat :mad: Food makers are very naughty sometimes

Aw thank you To be honest I'm trying to cut the calories down over the fat and sugar, in my work I need a bit of sugar for the extra kick to get me through!
Still I dont have a lot of other sugary things through the day so I think I'll be alright

Going back to my earlier posted meal plan - ended up in BK for dinner because I had a "2 dine for £7" voucher so me and another girl I work with went together and split the cost. And then I had a Twirl bar afterwards :j
Otherwise I didnt derive at all from my meal plan so carbs were at a minimum today thank goodness!

Think I sweated a fair bit today too as we had restock to do after the matinee performance + picking up the litter ready for the evening performance; and then it got SO freaking hot this evening in the auditorium that much water and tea was needed to cool us front of house staff down!:rotfl:

Morning All

Another bright but chilly morning here, thankfully there isn't any dew on the grass this morning so I will be able (at last) to get it cut – notching up at least one activity to burn the cals.

Ended up making spicy parsnip soup yesterday, which was delicious and according to the recipe even though there is double cream in it only comes in at 261cals per portion.

Today’s menu =
B – Mashed banana on toast
L – Spicy Parsnip Soup
D – Chorizo & Bean Casserole, steamed broccoli & carrots

Hope you all have a good day.

Terrimolo - just noticed your signature and recall that as a line in a film.......but which one.......aaargh thats going to drive me nuts all day.

Carbs, fats, sugars, calories etcetc etc is there a definitive guide that would help to understand what's good and what's not to eat. The more I look the more confused I am getting ;-(

Tell me about it!! I seem to go in never ending circles.......cut out fat.......oh no eat fat but cut of carbs............dont eat sugar even fruit sugar.....oh no wait eat fruits etc etc etc and round and round i go :rotfl:

A good book that seems to be fairly balanced IMHO is Nutrition for dummies from the 'For dummies' range

Didnt go swimming today-I obviously need more kicks :rotfl:but as the sun is shining me and OH will go for a walk shortly

Have a good day all

I know what you mean! I can't get myself into the habit of calorie counting and adding. I just try to minimise sugar (sugar rush, sugar crash, eat some more!), and avoid things that have a large proportion of my GDA.

Today:
L: 2 vegetable spring rolls with salad (lime juice dressing)
cous cous stuffed vegetables with side salad
S: 6 breadsticks, mugshot noodles and strasberries

lophelia

Went to DH's work do last night and I was very naughty and had two puddings and an awful lot of red wine (it was a free bar!!) but I did do a lot of awful dancing so hopefully that might have burnt off a few calories.
B-Fried egg sandwich (to mop up the remains of last night you understand0
L-Beef stew
D-Roast dinner, chicken breast, dry roasted potatoes and lots of veg.
E-1 hour walking
