    Hi all

    Can you pop down a STS for last weekplease Knitwitch when you get the chance as I understand you are not around at present. Hope everything is ok with your DH's Nana.

    Pleased with a STS as it was hubby's 50th Birthday last wednesday and then we were away for the weekend to celebrate too. Have a do at his brothers this weekend but I am on driving duty so no alcohol for me :D

    Hoping for a loss this week.

    Good morning....still very cool here....nice after the really hot temperatures and I sleep better. The birds are loud!

    I shall try to walk to my first appointment of the day ....it will take an hour but I don't think I should risk running and I cannot shower yet so cannot go to the gym.

    B.was hm yog ,a banana and cashews, coffee
    L.no idea....I expect either Sri Lankan with the students or a bowl of soup in town on the way to my afternoon appointment.
    D. Hm tomato soup, then mushroom omelette and salad

    I doubt whether I will manage any more sewing.

    Oh yes, I was sitting before bed last night thinking about the shopping list....this morning I see that I wrote crisps!! I have crossed that out.

    Good morning everyone :j

    It is a rather damp day here, most suitable for staying home in the warm. I started a new journal yesterday and will try to keep it up for the 12 weeks it runs for. I hope to be able to be 20lb lighter by the end of it. I have a wedding to go to in August so that will work out nicely and I will be able to buy a new dress.

    Oh yes, I was sitting before bed last night thinking about the shopping list....this morning I see that I wrote crisps!! I have crossed that out.

    I do this all the time :rotfl:. I shop online and it is amended at least 3 times before it comes depending on how hungry I am when writing it. Mine usually has chocolate and cake on it then gets taken off and substituted for sugar free jelly :D

    Hope you all have a great day and make good choices xx

    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:

    Last night hubby vetoed the stew in favour of a takeaway, his treat because of it being my late mom's birthday and I was sad, so a) thank goodness I managed to crutch hop 11.4K steps and b) I only ate half, and calorie counted it so my whole meal only came to 600 calories. Got the rest for lunch, which is a big lunch, so I'm going to try to go without fruit snacks. If I fold, I will go apple instead of banana.

    So today:

    b: pecan and maple crisp cereal.
    d: leftover veg ceylon and rice with a bit of garlic naan
    t: cannellini bean and aubergine stew, and mash (don't want rice twice)
    Keep reading books!

    I did not buy crisps...i ate chocolate....
    The curry was ferocious....so saved a few calories there....managed a polite amount...and had bread and soup for tea.
    I did get the smoked salmon for tomorrow...oh the pain of choosing....with scrambled eggs or with corn fritters?

    TiredTrophy, I'd probably go eggs and dill! I never have dill in the house when I want it though...

    Very busy night tonight, have to leave straight away for a meeting in a pub when I get back from work, so no time for tea. Might be a quick ham sarnie before I go, or more sumptuous ham toastie very late at night. I don't like feeling hungry or driven in the way of temptation. Luckily the pub does lovely, cheap cups of tea. I am hoping I am good.

    So today:

    b: pecan and maple crisp cereal.
    d: leftover cannellini bean and aubergine stew, and mash
    t: ham sandwich, most likely.
    s: apple, banana

    Caught up with last week's Britain's Fat Fight with HFW, and I can quite honestly say, yes, I've had loads of "treat" bars of chocolate at that W H Smith till. I am that sucker they were angling for. They got me!

    I have two problems with chocolate..I love it....but not the cheap stuff!....so by eating less its good for my health and :money: !

    But I have stay out of the shops....

    No dill here til I grow it....expensive.
    I had scrambled eggs and mushrooms with a piece of bread and butter for brunch, after a short run :T
    Will have corn fritters and smoked salmon for dinner.
    Currently rather hungry...ate the ginger...its sort of dried and candied but not as much sugar as that...yummy and I should have resisted..but as its all gone now I cannot do that again, can I? !
