    OK- confession time :EasterBun

    I'm a big fattie after last night. Had my big lunch of JP beans and cheese, and then got home meaning to have small supper - instead had 2 fish fillets with oven chips with lots of broccoli. So frustrated as have been trying so hard to eat healthy. Think it was because I was alone last night and was more bored I guess than hungry.


    Lunch today is a yoghurt to try and balance out last night's piggie feast.


    *****

    Florenceem- thanks for that. It's so interesting to see what other people eat and their different ideas.


    CP - don't worry - 20 isn't too bad. Did you stock up on items? Or is it treats and BOGOFs?
    *****

    Can't go shopping as only fiver left until payday so NSD. Have to plan some free activities at the weekend.

    Thanks tessie bear - just feels like all my hard work during the week was blown. Will have to check calories though and see if it's not as bad as I fear.

    ETA: Ok, each one is 250 cals so 500 cals overall. Not really ideal is it?

    WELL DONE MARRIS :T:T:T
