    Hello everyone, can I join in from today please?

    Looong time away from the forums, finding myself slipping in all sorts of ways. One slip was 'over' and I broke an ankle in Feb, resulting in an end to the New Year New Me plan. Convenience, limited mobility, pain, emotional snacking, tired husband... all contributed to me regaining the 11lbs I had lost up to that point. Hello BMI of 30 my old fiend. I also spent a bit too much on beer and takeaways, so there's money to be saved too in this.

    I am hoping honesty and food logging, putting the purse away, trying to gad about on my stick a bit more and more veg, less vegging will mean I start shedding this again, though I don't expect such a good start as last time.

    Thanks all!

    Not a problem wishus - are you wanting to join in the challenge? We have 9 weeks left :D
    Must use my stash up!

    Your poor ankle!
    I hope it heals soon. Are you able to swim with it yet?
    A while back, I broke my ankle right across. It was not considered severe enough for me to get physio so I paid for three sessions privately and now I hike in the mountains....well, today I slipped silly idiot, but it was not the fault of the ankle!

    Yes zaf. Thats the name of the book....many yummy things in there...but I do not believe his portions in the recipes...apply common sense.

    Leg up...stopped bleeding...not risking a shower

    Hope your are coping ok knitwitch...thinking of you

    A green salad before lunch and dinner?....an extra walk?

    No falling, mind - my ankle is double its usual size so no run for me!

    B. Was hg blackcurrants and hm yog and coffee....and now Im very hungry

    L. Soup if i can pull together ingredients from the cupboards

    D. Broad beans and bacon and salad

    And loads of coffee.

    No exercise:( which is horrid as I help my mood with walking.
    Now to find out if I can get on and off the floor to cut out the dress....seems to be the only way of having one that fits

    Thanks for letting me join in the challenge. Fairly good yesterday. Tuck shop man's prices have gone up (80p for a can of Pepsi Max), so I think the days of the siren call of illicit treats are done.:naughty::A
    Yesterday:
    b: pecan and maple crisp cereal.
    d: tuna and tomato sarnies on granary w. mayo, carrot sticks
    t: gammon, egg (frylight), oven chips, peas
    s: banana, mint hot choc
    ...an easy start into things.

    Today:
    b: pecan and maple crisp cereal.
    d: tuna pasta salad (macaroni, frozen veg, spring onion, 1tsp mayo, 1 tsp tom puree, smoked paprika, oregano)
    t: cannellini bean and aubergine stew, rice
    s:banana, apple, might not have both.
    Have also crutch-hopped the mile to the station. Burn baby Burn!:cool2:

    Good morning everyone :j

    Hope your knee and ankle heal up quickly TT so you can get back to your exercising.
    I am a complete sloth when it comes to moving around, hopefully that will improve the more weight I lose.

    Chocolate had started to creep back in to become a daily 'treat' and if it's every day, where is the treat element to it? So I have binned it all and have ordered myself some sugar free jellies to have as a pudding as I miss having something sweet after my dinner.

    My meals today are as follows:
    b - 2 bread rolls with plain tuna in
    l - chicken breast, dry roast potatoes, asparagus and cauliflower
    d - ham and egg salad
    s - sugar free jelly, milk for teas

    Hope you all have a good day today xx
