    e- long walk with dog, chasing dog after he ran away from Mr Sezza and had to be tempted home with ham!:j

    l- pitta with turkey slices and salad, rocky bar
    d- mango chicken with rice, small bread pudding (was planned for yesterday!)

    Evening all :)

    B - spicy fruity porridge
    D - ham, 2 eggs, chips in a pub when visiting DM today. Ham very salty, eggs dry, chips very dry and floury so very little got eaten. Needed something to fill the gap so DM and I shared a maple syrup waffle and ice cream. The waffle was just like eating rock hard crust of bread (obviously reheated too long in a mw) so we only managed to break off a corner and just had a mouthful each. Not the most success meal we've had!
    T - not long back so will have a small cup of leek and potato soup and maybe a tomato sandwich shortly
    S - melon, plums
    E - slow walk round Henley and a browse in the shops with DM holding onto my arm

    Sweet dreams :)

    Morning everyone :)

    Thanks for all the advice about the dresses. I have decided to keep two of them in a 16 (boo I never thought I'd be a size 16 :( ) because even if I lose weight between now and Christmas, I will be wearing them after the excesses of Christmas week eating!

    I had a VERY naughty weekend (as usual) although I did do a lot of exercise including formal Wii exercise and most of the day yesterday moving furniture around which was extremely energetic.

    Anyway, I am properly ready to start again today and I am sitting here with my hot water and lemon (it probably doesn't have any health benefits but I think it helps psychologically to get me in the right frame of mind!) and I will make vegetable soup later for lunches.

    I WILL be better!

    Good morning all,

    Managed to jog on the spot and do 60 press ups whilst watching I'm a Celebrity:j
    I have found that if I can't get out and run I have to fit some kind of exercise in somewhere somehow. Anyway weigh in tomorrow so fingers crossed.
    Today brunch will be 2 eggs 3 small slices of bread and tea. I've started eating this about 11 and it seems to do for breakfast and lunch and keeps me full until tea time, I usually have some fruit and yoghurt mid afternoon.
    Need to nip out to the Trafford Centre tonight so will have tea out but I usually try and go for a warm salad.
    Will pop in later

    Rest of day - 3 x meat tapas, some grapes, lots of tea, lots of water.

    Sunday:
    B - 2 x wm toast, butter, marmite, tea.
    L - Nothing except tea; too busy.
    D - Mushrooms, green beans, asparagus, baked sweet & normal potato with hm pepper sauce.
    S - Half a dozen mini choccy eggs.
