    Soo pleased to read all your good news - hope it continues :D

    I am hoping that I will be back to my normal robust health by the weekend after nearly two weeks with this horrible flu virus. I am starving all the time now but the thought of food makes me queasy plus I can't run or cycle.

    I have put weight on and feel so bloated I can't even wear jeans at the moment - generally just feel horrible and miserable.

    TT - your life does sound complicated, I hope you manage to stay focused.

    I know we are not officially starting until 6 Jan but to be honest I feel so bloated and run down I wanted to make a start today. I have developed a cough since Monday and I am not sleeping so well so I have decided to try and build myself back up. A few days extra goodness isnt going to harm. I have charged the fitbit and reset MFP so off I go. MFP has goven me 1520 cals a day so I will see if I can stick to those and try not to use my extra steps calories that they give me.

    Todays plan
    Breakfast: ham and tomatoes on toast, 2 x DG coffee (313 cals)
    Lunch: not sure what I am doing as DS1 wants to go to sales to get some clothes but he is not up yet!!! If I stay at home it will be soup.
    dinner; Chicken and brocolli pasta - dont know how many cals this will be as its a homemade recipie and the chicken is leftover cooked frozen chicken so I will need to weigh when defrosted and also need to weigh the ingredients for the white sauce when I make it.

    Gosh its all so complicated maybe I should just make something else - thankfully its a day off today :rotfl:

    Morning All

    B: back to lo carb granola, berries and skim (have been enjoying too much honey nut mini shredded wheat over the hols)
    L: homemade soup from freezer
    D: some form of protein from freezer, veg, wedges

    50 min dog walk in very high winds. New Year's Resolution is to not short-change the dogs by being lazy and slow in the mornings. I am aiming to walk 1,000 miles with them this year rather than have that as an overall total.

    Good start today. After yesterdays 11am get-up, I was in the gym by 0930. I am going to HURT tomorrow. I have lost so much cardio fitness I wanted to cry and it was only an LBT class, so not even all cardio.

    Pilates was OK. My core seems to remember it exists.

    B - Porridge with PP
    L - Homemade chicken soup with low carb bread
    D - YS frenzy:D Piri-piri chicken breasts and stir-fry veg.

    There is a huge gammon in the SC for lunch tomorrow. I stalked the guy in Waitrose yesterday on my 3rd visit. Well worth it. £45 reduced to £25 on NYE, still £25 first thing yesterday down to £9 yesterday evening :rotfl:
    Goals - Weight loss 6/26lb at 22nd Jan 18
    Mmmm. 26lb at 1/7/18. Oops:o
