It's lovely to be back on the page and seeing so many familiar names from last time. I am more of a lurker than a poster but will post my menus once I get back up to speed with everything.
Starting a new job on Tuesday as a TA so feeling excited and hopefully being back on my feet all day will help drop a few extra pounds too.2019 Weight Loss Goals

Evening everyone
Not been able to get to class since the 20 Dec, work comittements, I have been piggy since then too. So I have given myself a good talking too, and got back on track, first WI of the new year will be next Thursday, then I'm off on holiday for a week, so I will put down as my target for this challenge 4lb
Thanks Chris ☺I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

Dinner - not sure yet
Snacks - off to a tea room that does most lush cakes. Plan is just a drink and a small piece of daughters cake
HA - milk
HB - wm pita
Syns - cake and meal outZebras rock0 -
Morning everyone. Been feeling really rubbish the past couple of days; headaches bordering on migraines, really tired and achy. My meals (where I've been eating them) have all been on plan, but last night I just sat on the sofa and ate half a box of after eights and mindlessly ate peanuts. Trying to not beat myself up over it but it's difficult.
Today is a new day, I feel a lot better (even if I am more bloated) and I'm just taking each meal at a time.
B - Porridge (HEA & HEB)
L - Ham and Leek Risotto (gammon, leek, rice, courgette, onion)
D - Beef Goulash with broccoli and cauliflowerEmergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170 -
Flat Eric it's likely that the Facebook page is one specific to bubbs' SW group, I think a lot have them.
As for me weigh in was as expected yesterday +3.5lb, enjoyed every one! Luckily I'm still at the 2.5 stone lost point so just 7lb to my next award.0 -

Pun intended?:rotfl:
It's hard after Christmas when there are still goodies around ruby, especially if you're not feeling well. But today's a new day and good to hear you sounding positive.:)
Good idea to share some cake kathrynha. I always think it's best to have something like that when you're out rather than have a whole cake at home when you feel it has to be finished.;)
I'm still keeping up with the water drinking. I discovered this morning that my largest mug (330mls) is bigger than my largest glass (250mls) so that'll help in this cold weather. I'll have hot blackcurrant which I enjoy.
I have everything in for today's meals but I will be meal planning and shopping later. I'm hoping for a perfect week to get myself back into range. Fingers crossed no unexpected invitations come my way.
Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit, HEB porage with HEA milk
L: lentil and veg soup
chicken casserole (onions, leeks, mushrooms, celery, carrots, courgettes, butter beans) with new potatoes, cauli and broccoli
Syns: syrup 2.5, cornflour 10
