  • I hope all the poorly people are feeling better!

    :D

    Ooooo.......I can smilie again!!

    :j

    I am pleased with how yesterday went for me, 1566 calories and I just wanted to get under 2000 as it was my 1st day back from an indulgent weekend away.

    I also managed to include ALL my milk used in my calorie count.

    I am a total tea-aholic and use enormous mugs and I was very conveniently convincing myself that I was using a splash of milk in each mug......

    WRONG!!

    Cuppas and a bowl of cereal yesterday added up to 1/2 a litre

    :eek::rotfl::eek:

    Yesterday was:-

    B - granola

    S - pineapple spear

    L - Finncrisps and butter

    S - Nectarine

    T - Oven fish and chips

    And in a evening, a slice of black forest gateau :o thankfully the rest is now safely frozen and therefore inaccessible (unless I get desperate).

    Hope everyone has a good day!

    WRONG!!

    Me too! I'm sure I underestimate the milk in my huge mug :)

    I wish we could get a definitive answer on whether you should drink water, or whether lots of tea does the same job. I never saw people going round with water bottles when I was young!


    Programme on BBC2 tonight on how fast food is making children in India fat... i.e they didnt have any obese kids until 'western food' arrived. I love things like this so will be tuning in at 9 :)

    I'd like to see this, but I also like watching New Tricks on BBC1...I wish the bbc would start a plus 1 channel, like ch 4 and ch 5.

    Had an okaaay day foodwise. DS was suddenly sent away to work (at 4am!) and won't be back until Fri/Sat. So I immediately went into my "I'm on my own and free to do whatever I want" mode :rotfl:
    So I put all the meat I'd bought for him in the freezer, and decided I was craving a cheese and onion quiche, coleslaw and oven chips :)...I know it's high calorie, so I tried to be good by walking to the SM to buy it (every little helps!)

    I'm a little over...debating whether to go for another little walk, not that keen though.
    Fridays weigh in is important for me personally, so I want to make an effort, and need to counteract last weekends disaster :o


    If you could live one day of your life over again, which day would you choose?
