The sky is so white here today. They're forecasting snow for tonight and tomorrow and I can see why looking out my window!
Food today:
2x Boiled eggs and a slice of buttered fingers
Leek and Potato soup with HM bread
Snacks - pineapple and mandarins.
We loved soup last week and it was so filling. The plan is to have a soup meal once a week now.
Leeks are expensive because they weigh quite heavy but we're using our free ones from Lidl for this today and I noticed that Tesco has them on special for 99p so I'll buy some of those and chop and freeze for another week. We do the same with celery when its on offer.AUGUST GROCERY CHALLENGE £115.93/ £250

STS this week, which given that I’ve eaten out twice and the meds which can cause weight gain have been increased, I’m taking as a win. It’s really hard to feel inspired when it’s so cold, but I’ll try harder next week and hope for a loss.

Morning all xx
Monday morning weigh in revealed - 2.5 lbs.
I had the right mindset this week - it makes such a difference when I'm not fighting myself. Does that make sense?
Thank you for giving me the incentive to keep going whatever the scales say on a Monday morning.
