    Afternoon All

    You are not the only one Daisiegg - I have put back on last weeks 1lb loss. I know why - too many carby treats when Mum was here and then carrying on once she had gone. I've had another bad day today too but intend to start afresh tomorrow.

    B: Muesli with extra raisins
    L: 2 poached eggs on toast.
    D: Jacket potato with butter and cheese. Raspberries with Greek yoghurt

    Exercise: 75 minutes Stability ball class. 5 mile run. 3 miles of walking.

    How about making some veg soup or butternut squash soup and keeping in fridge to snack on if you get hunger pangs, or some low cal crispbread/crackers and slices of cucumber/tomato ?

    This is was I was doing when I was loosing weight and am planning to get back on track :p;) I have luckily STS this week, I think it must have been the yoga yesterday - I have muscles that I didnt know I had aching today :o

    Oh Heavens this week is passing in a blurr of sweets, choc biscuits and crisps!!

    Im sticking to my meal plans I post on here but then having extra 'little' bits :o

    Im afraid the scales may say 'one at a time please' when I climb aboard them tomorrow :eek:

    WW- I have set myself a new swimming challenge but Im yet to swim a length of it :rotfl:

    I'm another guilty of too many treats this week and haven't been swimming yet either.:o


    Well done to all the losers! Loads of us this week and a good few with multiple lb losses! Thats a bit beyond me I'm afraid but I am pleased with a 1lb loss.

    I'm having a relaxed day today - purely due to tiredness and can't be botheredness.:o
    Had a shop bought egg sandwich for lunch and a bag of crisps and have no idea whats for tea yet. No snacks yet but I'm not holding my breath.
    And after a week from hell I'm having a glass of wine tonight - so there.
    Will start afresh tomorrow.

    Slept in this morning so forgot to weigh in - will do it tomorrow!

    b - museli with skimmed milk and some grapes
    l - minestrone soup, pear and a greek yogurt with honey
    s - chocolate espresso
    t - spinach, tomato and beef lasagne with salad - it's great as it's lots lower in fat and calories, but still tastes amazing!

    Not a bad day today :)

  • Little update to add to earlier meal plan - had a couple of (half) glasses of rose wine with dinner.

    2 half glasses = 1 glass = not too naughty right? ;)
