  • Hi Coxy:wave::wave:

    I ate too much watching the ice skating while coughing. Teenage daughter of client most annoying. I am very glad mine are all grown up.

    Hi all,

    Today I had:

    B - 2 x wholemeal toast (400g loaf), scraping of marg and marmalade, melon and grape pot
    L - coconut and lime chicken breast with crunchy salad
    D - pork stir fry with noodles
    S - 2 x satsumas, apple (think I need to mix this up a bit, but it's all I have in the fruit bowl)

    Have so far done 14k steps and 65mins exercise according to my tracker.

    Hello All
    Well I have been a complete disaster the last week, can't seem to get my head in the game, I could say half term and stress at work is to blame but I know deep down its all me.
    Hanging my head with a gain of +2

    Day shopping with my Mum today, very rarely do we have a day off together so it was lovely
    B banana and 1/2 charcoal crossoint (who knew that was a thing??)
    L shared a calamari starter with Mum then had a holumii salad
    D chilli con carne, rice and 4 tortilla chips.
    back to normal tomorrow, got my new SW magazine so I'm feeling motivated!
    Hope you are feeling better KW

    I just googled that croissant - not sure I could eat it, looks odd (sorry SIRENS!)

    Think I will weigh in on Saturday which means not quite a week for me as I started on Monday. Have proudly managed to dodge chocolate and biscuits at work this week. Small wins.

  • 've completely gone off the rails this week and have been on a huge sugar binge. I hate to think how many calories I've consumed or how many lbs I'll have put on...

    I was doing so, so well, no idea what wen't wrong.

    Anyway, the only thing I can do it to draw a (big, fat) line under it all and get back on the horse as it were. New goal for the next week (to next saturday) is to have STS. I don't know if 7 days is enough time to undo the damage, but I can dream.


    :(

    I'm closing in on 3 stone lost. No need to cook complicated meals though to lose weight. One of my current favourites is king prawn and mushroom omelette. Fry some mushrooms and prawns in a pan using fry light, throw in some herbs if you fancy and some black pepper. Mix 4 eggs with a fork in a glass. Pour over the mushrooms and prawns and make sure they're covered.

    You know the rest.

    Throw in some chopped onions or peppers for extra high marks ;)

    L - quinoa and feta prepared salad from Wa!trose, melon and grape pot
    D - half a pot of chilli bean soup, wholemeal thin, scraping of marg, lean ham (late back from work and kids got a pizza takeaway, saved me some but I've wrapped it for their lunch tomorrow)
    S - 2 x satsuma, go ah3ad fruit bakes

    14k steps walked and 65 mins exercise as had a few errands to run at lunchtime so route marched to Oxford St.
