Hi Folks

Bit of a lazy day for me today – just cleared the drive of snow…again, hoping we don’t get any more for a few days as it’s beginning to play havoc with my back.

Food-wise, a bit of a festive feel to that too – still using up the remains of last month that are lurking in the freezer =
B – Grapefruit & pomegranate, toast smeared with peanut butter
L – Broccoli & Stilton Soup. Pear
D – Turkey & Leek Fricassee, mashed swede, carrots, sweetcorn.
S = 2 Tangerines

meals for today

B - porridge
l - chicken & veg soup. 2 satsumas
snack - banana
D - small portion lasagne, wedges, large salad
small portion rice pudding

I always do better on working days when I dont take money to work and dont have access to food !!

Hi All,

Just thought I would let you know how the Pork and Cider turned out.. When I lifted the meat out of the slow cooker I was left with the sweet potato etc... well, I took out the onions, which was easy as they were cut into large chunks and then I blitzed the rest with the hand blender..

So I ended up having a lovely, thick, unusual tasting soup, which was just the thing as the temperature is really dropping outside.

I then sliced the pork and served it with a salad... (Hubby got the onions)

I also had enough leftover soup for the OM to take to his work tomorrow and I'll make a pork and salad wrap for myself late afternoon... :A

What more could a body ask for ???

Today's food

B - plain soya yogurt and raspberries, tea
S - 1 falafel, tea
L - hm ratatouille with a mini low fat naan bread
D - roast pork, potato and celeriac mash, loads of green veg
E - 30 mins treadmill

Nutracheck reckons it all comes in at around 1000 cals but I think the pork is more than it says (though I will only eat the lean bits). Still need to make up for going 200 cals over yesterday!

Hope everyone else is doing well

It is a 12 or 13 week challenge to keep you on track, you decide how much weight you hope to lose in that time and check in on a Friday/Saturday and we keep a running total of how much we have lost between us (in this first week we lost over 6 stone :eek:)

Link to recent chart

Oh yes definitely, I will go for 7lbs to start and will weigh myself Friday to get my start weight.

Oooo today was tough. A collegaue was 50 and bought cakes in plus someone had brought in one of those tins of luxury Cadburys chocolate biscuits....the ones with the really thick chocolate on them!!!

I admit, did have a small slice of sponge cake! Why do the bad things taste sooooo good! Resisted the biscuits and included the cake in my calorie allowance!

B - porridge, skmd milk, dribble of syrup
L - 4 ryvita's, low philly, yogurt
T - sausage casserole, mash, loads of veg
S - cereal bar, banana, pear - and THAT piece of cake

Feeling very peckish tonight...must resist!
