A bad day pain wise for me last Friday/Saturday and so, in the space of 24 hours, the 4 pounds I had struggled to lose were back and staying blimming medication :mad:

Weighed in this morning and I've gained 1/2lb. I know I had a couple of evenings this week where I over-ate at dinner so I wasn't expecting a huge loss, but the gain has come as a surprise. Hey ho.

Brunch - two slices HM seed bread, warm from the breadmaker, with butter and peanut butter ; bunch of grapes
Dinner - half a butternut squash stuffed with chilli con carne (made with lots of veg and only half a pack of LF beef mince); fresh pineapple with a small amount of coconut ice cream. Plus a couple of glasses of wine. :beer:

daisiegg - I've just been reading the horrible news about the fires in Yosemite national park, so I'm glad you've moved on and are now safely out of their way.

Mmmmmm.......pineapple and coconut icecream sounds wonderful!!

Do you mind me asking if it was homemade icecream or bought? I havent seen any for sale locally, thank you!

Love ice cream, have had a craving for it for weeks but I shop on my way to meetings etc., to save petrol so it won't keep til I get home. It has to be good for me to go without - dammit!

B - F&F, ss milk
L - 2 finger rolls with grilled bacon
D - Duck wraps, shrimp noodles
S - Melon, carrot batons
E - Bathroom. Sleep day, drained after yesterday. So frustrating when I want to do things but don't have the energy

Have a good rest of the day whatever the weather where you are

It's a bought one - I've never tried making my own ice cream. It's a Waitrose one - coconut and lime - I bought it several weeks ago when it was on SO and have managed to leave it sitting in the freezer untouched all this time. :A Then I found a pack of pineapple RTC yesterday and the two sound like they'll be so nice together that my resistance has finally broken.

I've just added a small handful of HG alpine strawberries to my day's intake, because what else could I do with them once I'd picked them?

Afternoon - 2lb loss this week That's the one I put on last week and another one. Please please please let it stay off. It seems so random. I didn't eat any better or worse this week than last so it make it very hard to know where I'm going wrong or right.

I just have to look back over the last year and realise I'm still gradually going down so that's all I can ask for.

How frustrating Knit Witch

I have sinned a bit tonight, and have an overfull tummy as punishment
I had a long drive home this afternoon, and the angel on my left shoulder and the devil on my right argued all the way about whether I should get takeaway pizza for tea! Guess who won

Well, I was coming home to an empty house, and it's cheaper to get takeaway when I'm on my own! It was only a six inch one, but I got chips as well...that's everything confessed to now, I shall do better tomorrow.

Also had a lovely evening with DS2 and GF, they have a lovely new puppy, who is getting up the courage to explore my house!

Stop encouraging that little devil :rotfl:

At least I think about it now, before I would get the takeaway without a second thought...now I consider it, and hum and haw a bit...then still buy it :rotfl:

Puppy is a black Labrador, a bit of a coward, but decided tonight that my house (and my biscuits and slippers) was a safe place to explore
