    D: Smoked haddock with baked potato skins, mushrooms and grilled tomatoes. Raspberries with Greek yoghurt.
    Snack: Half a shortbread cookie shared with DH

    Exercise: Just a walk to the shops and back.

  • Morning Everyone

    Although I was beginning to regret what I had starting yesterday I’m much happier now. Spent most of the day sorting out kitchen and utility store cupboards, making up a list of supplies so that I can see at a glance what I’ve got - couldn’t believe it when I counted 50 herb/spice jars :eek: & before you ask…….yes I do use them all, some more often than others.

    However I had forgotten that I had jars of tahini and tamarind paste so once I get through some of the freezer supplies I will be looking to make up some delicacies with those. I only now have to remember to keep my inventory up to date ;)

    I still have more cupboards to sort out today – you know the ones – where you store household stuff thinking…….it might just come in handy but never does. The bonus to this activity is that the day flew past and I didn’t feel the need to stop and have any snacks :j

    Meals Today =
    B – Yogurt & stewed pears
    L – Pea, Spinach & Watercress Soup, toast (heel of the loaf – yummy)
    D – Quiche, Brussels sprouts, roasted red onions

    N2bT I feel my meals are repetitive too, but in my case I make a cauli cheese or whatever, and have to use it all up as it won't keep. Being OS I can't just buy a small cauli when they're all the same price, so I choose the biggest - well, who wouldn't?!

    Me too, I love Cauli Cheese, it's even worse when they do a bogof :rotfl: I tried blanching and freezing it but it didn't taste the same and I disliked the texture of it when frozen. I did find a nice Cauliflower and Parmesan Soup on the BBC GoodFood website though, nice and creamy....Mmmmmm :)

    Hope you all have as fun a day as I'm going to have :D

    Okay folks, weigh in this week - there are two options

    1. someone does the weigh in thread on Friday/Saturday and lets me know the results Sunday
    2. I get the weigh in amounts on Sunday and you all have two extra days this week (but then only 5 the following week :rotfl:)

    theatregirl some people are incredibly rude! It there a notice somewhere that you could point to, something like 'Do not abuse our staff...' etc, I know a lot of shops and offices have them now, and quite rightly so. Or inform management, you don't have to take that.

    B - 2 slices Danish with rf spread and marmalade
    D - Jacket with chilli and grated cheese, side salad
    T -Leek & potato soup, slice Danish
    S - satsuma, melon, plum, grapes

    Dragon just to confuddle things :o I'll be weighing in tomorrow as I'm away to Devon for the weekend. Will try to avoid bad choices but most of the meals will be cooked for me. I won't be bringing any clotted cream home this time though :(

    Afternoon all,

    Just back from a long walk into town and back 45 mins each way but going its uphill, much prefer the walk back:)

    Weigh for me this morning and have least another 2 lb almost 3 but it flickered back lol should easily lose the two stone I was aiming for before my hols. The main thing is I am taking my running stuff and will continue to exercise, there should be lots of swimming and body boarding, but will be watching for sharks:j

    Not had much to eat today
    B small bowl of cereal
    L fruit (had this on the run)
    T will be salad fish and sweet roasted potatoe.

    Will be having my usual LF crisps and a Cinzano and diet lemonade with ice in a tall glass later in the evening.

    Also will be doing some running on the spot and press ups during I'm a Celebrity:D
