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
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.

Is that your dog on your avatar? I expect they will need a lot of exercise, we have a lab (9 in February) and he needs a good run to really stretch his legs.

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:

This is why I can't calorie count, I get in a pickle with the hm stuff and then think sod it and eat a chocolate biscuit or 2.

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:

That must be a big gammon, will it feed you for a few meals?

Hi all

Thanks for the comments re the chicken and brocolli pasta bake. I managed to weigh the stuff ok and popped it into MFP as a recipie so when I make it in future I can just make sure I have the same amount of ingredients and it will be a simple add. Made an 'all in one' cheese sauce which made it easier as I could weigh all the ingredients as I put them in the pan as opposed to my normal roux method which is bung in some butter then add enough flour to make a roux then add milk til I get it to the right consistency which has no measurement at all.

sorry for the waffle

Anyway today's plan
Breakfast: toast with ham, and tomato & 2 DG coffees (313 cals)
lunch: courgette soup (73 cals)
dinner: goulash and rice (648 cals)

I may have a sandwich or cracker with lunch depending on how hungry I feel then as I still have 500 cals to play with.

Yes - SC it overnight. Lunch for 2 today. Then I’ll slice thickly for a few main meals, thinly (we have a slicer) for DH lunches, and all the bits will go into Pea and ham soup with the stock.

I’ll let you know how many portions I get out of it:rotfl:

Epic fail this morning getting up - as predicted I can barely walk. Not going to be going to the gym today unless I can get a very effective massage booked.:rotfl:

B - PPancakes with 0% Greek yog and zero syrup
L - Gammon with YS Roastin veg and baked pot
D - Chicken soup and Pitta bread.

yes that is one of my dogs. She will be 8 in April. I also have a 4 yr old boy of the same breed. They would take as much exercise as we can give them - free time is the limiting factor. The big thing is that they cannot be trusted off lead so any miles they need I have to do too. They only get to run if I take them to train in the forest at 6am on a Sunday - it hasn't happened much recently as I have just been so tired/busy.
