Wow! I wonder if we did? We were only there on the Sunday and we were sitting up in the seating area at the very top. Wasn't it great?! what did you eat? The food all looked so good! It was a slightly depressing diet day though with loads of women wandering around in very little clothing and me feeling like a giant blob!

We were only there on the Sunday, too. We spent most of the day sitting by the vegan food stall - the one Bryan Adams pointed out during his set.

I mostly ate halloumi - in a ciabatta roll with salad at lunchtime, then in a wrap with a big portion of free humus (sp? It never looks right however I type it!) to dip it in in the evening. :drool: I also drank rather too much cider, as a friend of my sister's was with us and he kept buying us drinks all day - faster than we could drink them at some points!


I've changed my plan for this evening slightly - I've made some pea pesto, so I'll have that with the prawns and pasta instead.

I bought an apricot slice from there! it wasn't great, I always get sucked in by the novelty of things being vegan and me being able to eat them. It was a total waste of calories. I also ate vegan paella (less than half a portion, although it was delicious - I wanted to save room for other things), a vegetable burrito (way less than half - it was not very nice!) and a few bites (maybe a third) of my husband's hot dog. The hot dog was great - wish I had had a whole one myself! Cider sounds good..I had a few glasses of wine and one of prosecco, but we weren't drinking loads, as hubby was driving and I didn't want to be a line alcoholic, contrary to what most people on this board thing I am like! :rotfl:

I have just prepared looooooads of veg for a stir fry for dinner - spring onions, leeks, broccoli, mushrooms, three colours of peppers, red onion, carrot. Basically all the veg that needs using up in my freezer...hopefully it will be a huge enough portion that hubby won't notice there is no meat!

Friday's getting closer!

I've not done so well today

B: granola, ss milk
L: 1 large slice of wm, toasted with cheese and tomato
cheese omelette, micro chips, whole tin of lf rice pudding :eek:

So too much cheese, but couldn't find anything else to put in omelette, only have one floppy carrot left until I shop again on Friday.
Being on my own this week, I've been playing catch-up a bit, trying to eat things before they go off...it's surprising how much less I need for just me, I've not been to sm all week...also noticed I've not had any meat.

And ate a tin of rice pudding, it was lovely ...I just wanted to feel full...I often eat my meal, and know I've had enough for my diet, but feel like I could eat it all again. So tonight I had comfort food

Hi All,

I dragged myself away from my sewing machine and made fish for tea..

I used a thick smoked haddock loin, some white haddock and a handful of prawns, seasoning, parsley.

I made sure there was no skin on the fish and then cut the haddock into nice size cubes.. popped the fish into a med sized pot and poured over half water and half milk until fish was covered... Added seasoning, chopped parsley. Slowly brought the milk to the boil and as soon as it was boiling, took it off the heat and popped a lid on it.. There was enough heat to finish cooking the fish.

Left it until teatime.. I then gently removed the fish with a slotted spoon, and then measured the liquid and added enough cornflour to thicken.. Once the sauce was nicely thickened and hot, I tasted and seasoned again and then gently added the fish .. It only took a few minutes to heat the fish through... Don't leave it too long on the heat as the fish will go chewy and lose it's delicate texture.. If the prawns are already cooked, add them at this stage...

(I added some philly cheese to the sauce that would have gone off if I hadn't used it - though it is optional.)

Served it up with boiled new potatoes...

Enjoy...

I hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine !!!

hello all
quick post before I hit the hay for the night....

please add to my mealplan: quite a bit of grated cheese over my pasta salad, a slice of bread...and a cream meringue and some chocolate...

In my defense, the cream meringue is l/o from yesterday when I went shopping, DM went to the dentist to have a filling, and I bought them because they were soft and figured she would like something light and sugary with a drink when she got home. Just trying to be a good daughter and all :rotfl: Anyhow DM said I could have the other one....and I couldnt say no lol.

The chocolate is a bit of a story...I actually won an incentive at work about 2 weeks ago, it was during a really REALLY slow show and the challenge was to sell as much wine as possible. Well somehow I managed to sell £23 of it....I dont know how...anyway the managers figured they knew me well enough and when I went in tonight...there was a 360g bar of Dairy Milk waiting in the office fridge.... :rotfl:


Anyway a little bit of a good side to the evening...I burned a whole TON of calories I'm sure. I was put in charge of clearing up our function room during Act 2. From the bar where I was this is a short walk down a corridor, then about 15 stairs down and another 5 stairs up to the alcove where the door to the room is.
I had to go up and down 5 or 6 times, thats 100-120 stairs! :eek: And plus I was carrying glasses to be washed/rubbish and various wine bottles etc....
So thats my exercise for the day I'm sure! :rotfl:

Morning all.

I had a sneak peek on the scales this morning and I've put on another pound and a half - i.e. I'm back to where I started. I'm not sure whether to , :mad:, or just desperately hope it's a blip and the scales will show something different tomorrow!

Today goes (very roughly, as I haven't been shopping for over a week and I'm starting to run a bit low on supplies - roll on shopping day tomorrow!):

B - last three slices of the pesto and tomato roll - probably one slice more than I really needed, tbh, but it didn't make sense to leave it
L - some sort of RM salad and some fruit
D - quorn fillet and some sort of veg - probably another pre-prepared salad

Then this evening it's pub quiz night, so I'll have a couple of glasses of the white wine and soda water that's my current favourite hot weather drink.

Have a good day, all.

I've never heard of one of those! What are like?

I put on this morning. Well it was obvious I would but I am ever the hopeful one that I could eat like a gannet and still lose.

So TG that's a 2.5lb gain for me. Ahh well, new start to a week for me and I'm still convinced water retention has something to do with it, although look as I might I can see no evidence of puffiness today.
I shall plan and be good from now on.

Food plan:

Iced coffee

Cold meat salad
Tbsp salad cream
Banana

Chicken korma with sml portion rice
1/3 lrg naan bread

1 x sml Kippling apple & custard pie. (treat for when DH arrives back home tonight):D


TG - 360g of chilled chocolate. :eek: Don't do it! I whopped down copious chocolates from my gifted box and look at the outcome for me. And they were slightly warm straight from the postmans bag. What are these people doing to us, generously giving us a time bomb in a chocolate coating.
