  • Bit of a cheat but no lunch bought today so 3/10 now! I was so busy that I didn't end up having lunch... not often that happens!

    Nice sounding LTW Marmite, i have never had wheatgerm before. Is it nice?

    My LTW today was bread and hummus. I know it sounds boring, but i really fancied it. I had it for dinner last night too! I just warmed up a part-bake baguette and spoon loads of hummus on top of it. Yummy!!

    Wheatgerm:I only really have it in yogurt.It adds a crunch.You could add it to cereals,bread making...
    It's got lots of protein in it,and other good things!

    Today was toast,jam and banana.

    Bread and hummus - lovely!

    Afternoon All :)

    Todays lunch was a banana and raspberry smoothie, tasted so yummy! I find smoothies really filling too.

    Then i got the 1st coat of paint on the lounge walls, so just have to wait till tomorrow to do the 2nd coat. That'll be all of the decorating done! Just need to get the flooring put down next. Wont be doing that myself, no idea how to!

    I hope you are all having a nice start to the week :)

    Sorry Guys I've been Awol for ages but still managing to bring my lunch to work most days. Today it was a simple salad with a couple of low fat sausages (leftovers from last nights dinner) and I have strawberries and natural yoghurt for pud.

    Will try and post more regularly again as have my hubby and I have been trying some new lunch ideas that I think you'll like.
