    Made it back to the gym today, it's been nearly 2 weeks since I last went (didn't have time, then didn't have the energy). Felt more like my first visit today than like I've been going for a while, and I felt very frumpy today for some reason- tried to avoid looking at myself in the gym mirrors :o

    B: Muesli with FF yoghurt
    L: Bagel with LF sweet chilli cream cheese, an apple and a pear
    D: Pasta with sausage meatballs, veggies, pesto and chopped tomatoes topped with a small amount of cheese
    S: 2/3 of a pack of polos (bought them to help a sore throat), nutrigrain bar, a small bit of cheese that wasn't worth putting back in the fridge

    Hi,

    I had a good day ironing yesterday.


    Is that even possible?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Had a good day diet wise yesterday and have stuck to the cals today too.
    Taken the dog for a nice long walk after work today so got a bit of exercise.

    Have made lunch for tomorrow - lets hope I can stick to the cals agai, the last week wasn't brilliant and I am determined to do better this week.
  • Another day another meal plan :)

    b- cheese on toast (2 slices)
    l- small baked potato with cheese/bacon filling, small salad
    d- hm steak and kidney (DM is making a pie but I will be avoiding the pastry), parsnips, dark greens.

    e - off to Mr A's for some shopping (car still not fixed and we are low on certain supplies). also have a few things to do around the house today, including phone calls to a couple of companies - basically organisation day haha.

    Morning all :) hope everyone is having a good week!

    It is my day off and I have shocked myself by sleeping in until 9.30 :eek: I must have needed it. Carrying on the lazy theme having a cuppa in bed now!

    Anyway...yesterday's food:

    B - banana porridge with brown sugar, tea (368)
    L - hm veg soup and 2 slices bread and marg (445)
    D - mushroom risotto (511) which would have been fine...except OH was starving and insisted on hm garlic bread with it, and I have no will power so I had some too :( bringing dinner's cals to 823 in total :mad:
    Total day's cals - 1644

    BAD. If I hadn't had bread with lunch and garlic bread with dinner it would have been a really good day. This is why I can't keep bread in the house! I just eat it! Really cross with myself :(

    Hi Everyone

    Later than usual for me but like some others on this thread I have been suffering with toothache and had to be out early to get to the dentist – thought I was getting the offending tooth pulled this morning but that pleasure is reserved for when I go back this afternoon. I’m not so bothered about getting the tooth out but really not looking forward to the roof of the mouth & under top lip injections that I will be getting :eek::eek:

    Meals today =
    B – Greek yoghurt & raspberry puree
    L – Leek & potato soup, toast
    D – Depends how my mouth is but likely to be scrambled eggs or more soup
    Jan - June Grocery spends = £531.61
    July - Sept Grocery spends = £304.88
    Oct - Grocery spends = £ 31.01
