Strangely Beanie, my mind was thinking that I could have cut the bill down even further by buying all the basics in Aldi and getting fresh f &v in there while I was at it!
I thought you might be interested in the Body Magic bit as it proves that weightloss can be achieved without exercise if necessary. I must admit I did very little when I was getting to target but in my case it's down to laziness!:o
Just prepped a load of veg for supper and deliberately did extra for my lunch tomorrow. I'll put a bowlful aside and do a nice bubble & squeak. All week I've gone back to having that or stir fry at lunchtime. It all helps keep the SFs up. Generally I'd also have soup but freezer's full at the moment so not really worth making any. PLUS it's not soup weather!!!!
Today's meals for me:
B: beans on toast (HEB)
L: bowl of stir fry veg (carrot, cabbage, beansprouts, mushrooms, peppers) with soy and 5 spicesausage and mash with carrots, cabbage, peas and onions
Syns: gravy and small juice with breakfast
I'm also having wine syns tonight. I don't usually have any on a Thursday but DD got good (job) news today and I've been worrying about her so it's a little celebration.0 -
My downfall is buying prepared fruit which of course is expensive.
I do try not to buy it but sometimes it is just so much easier :eek:
Day 3 going well:j
Interesting indeed on the excercise debate.
Good news maman on job news for your DD :j

Was it a HM burger, melanie? Just checking as I don't know any others that are free. And what are those M&S things? I'm not being fussy, just wouldn't want you to be disappointed if syns are creeping in without you realising it.
Hi maman
Yes the burger was HM, we bought a burger press at the weekend so that I could make them myself
The M & S things were Vietnamese marinated pork (not veggie!) salad bites with mooli ribbons and I knew they were low syn, double checked and they are actually 2 syns per pack not 3 as I thought.
Thanks for looking over my food diary, it's always good to get a second opinion.

In bad twist today as I'm feeling so bloated and the pmt continues
I feel like I'm back to were I was when I started 9lbs ago. If I've put on again this Monday I'll cry:(
So today's plan of attack is
B: Banana & Mandarins
L: Celery Soup & Chicken Pieces with Cherry TomatesCelery Soup, Cabbage, Brussels, Bacon, Mushrooms & Onions sauteed in 25 Philadephia Extra Light (HE)
Lots of water and green tea.
I woke up twice last night to go to the toliet - if only I could get rid of this bloating..............:eek:
Hi Lantanna
Just a thought, could the cabbage and brussels be contributing to your bloating? They always make me bloat out, much as I love them.

snack - 1 slice toast, baked beans, 45g grated mozzarella, chopped tomato & red onion
dinner - Minestrone soup (without pasta), stir-fried chicken livers, stir-fried cabbage, chopped salad
tomorrow -
b/fast - lots of chopped salad, HB egg, 1 tblspn light mayo
