So here I am again.....

I'm the worlds worse dieter BUT i got on holiday in 3 months and after trying my work skirt on which fitted me 2 months ago (it now feels like a straight jacket!) I'm on a mission :-)

Lost 3 lb this week but then the weekend happened and it was my OH birthday.

I WI on a Saturday so need some serious health kick now to at least not have a gain on Saturday!!

Sounds lovely! I wouldn't worry about that 107 calories over! You did well :-) The chicken and chorizo dinner sounds lovely, did you make it? Or what supermarket is it from if not? Have to try! Xx

So the paella....

50g of chorizo
150g of chicken
130g of arborio rice.... (this was how much I used last night but I usually do 150g)
2 tsp of oil
Tsp of paprika
Tsp of cayenne pepper
1 red onion
1 pint of chicken stock

Fry the onion, chicken and chorizo in the oil until the onion is soft. Add the risotto and dry fry for 30 secs. Add half the chicken stock. Simmer for 10mins. Add the paprika and cayenne. Add the rest of the stock and simmer down.

If the rice is still hard add more stock until cooked. Xx
