    Can you put me down please. I want the same target as previous, after whatever I lost ( that is to be my total weight loss)

    Thanks

    Hi everyone,
    Fell off the wagon a bit yesterday and just ended up eating whatever I wanted. I felt so full and horrible, it made the yummy food so not worth it!

    So here's what I plan to eat today to get back on track!

    B - Weetabix x2, milk
    L - A Big Salad - lettuce, red onion, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, red pepper, tuna, boiled egg, balsamic vinegar.
    T - Cottage Pie, Swede and Carrot Mash, Broccoli
    Snacks - Melon, Strawberries, Blueberries, Grapes(fruit already prepared so I can just pick at it), Raspberry Perle de Lait, White Lion Bar.

    All that lot comes to 1894 calories and I'm going for a walk in a few minutes :)

    T - chicken & mayo sandwich with 2 slices Danish, 1/2 nana

    morning all

    checked the scales again this morning (sneaky just after TOTM start weigh as I tend to fluctate around now) and I think I lost about another 1/2 lb aready. But it will all be clearer on Friday. :cool:

    Work last night was horr.i.ble! So many rude people, so many barking orders across the bar, and I wasnt feeling right enough to deal with them shouting at me.
    Then, right when our tills were closed and we were cleaning up trying to get home, this not-so-obviously drunk guy comes into the bar and starts going on about having another beer and why couldnt we serve him. When I explained to him that we couldnt serve because our tills were closed for the night he started BEGGING me to serve him some more drink cos the show was so s*** :rotfl:

    I needed a bottle of beer after that shift so I had one when I got home with my burrito dinner. oh and a chocolate bar too. :o:o

    got another headache coming on this morning, this is the fourth one in as many days. :mad:

    mealplan today:
    b - 4 mini scotch pancakes with a little cream and maple syrup.
    l - 1 x tortilla wrap, ready cooked chicken pieces with celery, radishes and tomato, bag of crisps.
    s - bounty bar
    d - lamb chop, cabbage, peas, roast tatties, glass of wine :D
    s - piece of Viennetta ice cream, kitkat, cup of tea
    e - going to try and hook up the Wii Fit today! So will see how much exercise I can do on there!

    officeguru :rotfl:see, the less we know ,the better :rotfl:
    Think "lettuce soup, lettuce soup, lettuce soup"...there's just no comparision, is there? :rotfl:

    I need to know how many chocolate fairy cakes equals 30 minutes clearing snow :o

    Think 'lettuce soup' as well... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: There are about 180 calories in a chocolate fairy cake (depending on what topping there is :) ) You will burn approximately 288 calories in shoveling snow for an hour... so, even rounding it up to 300 calories an hour - that equals 150 calories over half an hour... which almost covers one fairy cake... so as long as you leave the topping on the plate... you might get away with 1 cake..... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Not a lot !!!!

    :) At least you've tried them now :p I know what you mean though, I could eat 3 in one sitting! :eek: So OH hides them from me :)

    Yes, it has stopped me wondering... :( but they were soooo good... Just as well I only had the equivalent of one... but if my betterhalf was at his work, I could easily have eaten them... therefore, banned...

    I hope this means that you have had a break from all your housework... Shame that you aren't getting a chance to see your friends... We are so lucky that the snow has missed us... It is bitterly cold though.... :(

    Take care...

    That's it! Your last paragraph really hits home a point with me, thank you.

    Hi Emmaneni

    I forgot to mention that I like the idea that there are at least two of us trying a similar food plan.... :beer:

    I'm hoping that the weight loss will carry on... There is no reason why it shouldn't... :)

    It will be interesting to see how my 2nd challenge losses go... :A

    Hi Dragon

    Well done on all the efforts you go to every week... :D
