I think I shall give that recipe a go! I know! Thats how I have felt on green days, and I haven't even felt like I have over done it on the carbs :D win win situation! I often go home with something left over from lunch or snacks, but it's nice to know they are there if I need them.. then i have...

Jess this is a fantastic first green day! Well done :D I hope you enjoy it, let me know how you get on! I am on a green day today as well and am very very excited for my dinner tonight- half a butternut squash roasted and topped with quorn chilli (loads of veg!) And then topped with a hea of 1/2...

Re: Nicola will be taking 3 stone less luggage to Las Vegas! Hey Nic, I hope you hand is feeling better.. sounds like a dangerous trip to the toilet! Just something I noticed about today's diary, do you usually eat much meat? Because I can usually fill up quite nicely on chicken (or fish) and...

Glad you had a great weekend Stevie! I am loving bns soup and carrot and coriander as well- they are so easy to make and are soooo lovely :D great news on the retail therapy too :D xx

Food is looking great Kirsty! I am eating a lot more quorn at the moment (not the chicken one though- it made me feel sick! :o) it seems to be helping my losses I think :D xx

Feeling a bit emotional at the mo due to my plans being cancelled :( so thought I would distract myself with planning tomorrows menu, cooking and also some research for uni.. Tuesday 15th October; Green day. HEB: cereal/chicken and prawns HEA: Milk/ cheese B: Bran flakes (HEB) strawberries...

What day are you doing Jess? I didn't know there were syns in carrot and swede mash.. And I must apologise for not warning you of the caramel hot choc.. I thought it was gross too! :o x

Oh my... The paella was epic!!! Sorry I forgot to take a pic before I tucked it but I shall definitely be doing it again! Basically I fried up onions, garlic and diced chicken with some chorizo (need to measure out and syn) then when it is browned add sliced peppers (I have bags of them in the...

update.. Was running late to uni today so didn't get to eat cheese on toast with lunch and had soup in a flask. Had some wotsits (5) when I got in to tide me over until dinner, as I didn't want to fill up on bread when I have a yummy dinner to cook! Plus the boy has just texted to say he is...

Hahahaha well maybe you could try hot chocolate on the weekend then? ;) I have treated myself to a mixture of the maltesers one (4 syns ) and Cadbury's fudge (2 syns ) and I still have galaxy orange bubbles and a cadburys hazelnut one to try all low syns. I also have brought the light squirty...

I really am! I was amazed at how well I did and it is a good balance of intervals for the level I am at the moment. I am excited to see how far il be running by next month! I really want to be able to get to the fitness level where I can rely on going on 2-3 runs a week, and that being enough...

Jess I forgot to say before.. i have discovered this week that a hot chocolate can actually STOP my chocolate craving!! I didn't actually think it was possible. . But I have been putting back my chosen chocolate bar after enjoying my new favourite hot chocolate - the fudge one :D tastes like it...

To be honest Jess, I think I have been mindful of not 'overeating' carbs on green days.. but I have certainly not been hungry at all so what I did eat was just enough. I also feel that I mixed up a few meals last week and tried some new things, maybe try having a week where at least one meal a...

You can do it Jess! If I can lose 3 pounds in one week by staying on 100%- so can you :D I really feel green days helped me this week.. And I am also aiming to eat as much fish as I can this week as well to see if that has an effect. I'm glad you had a great weekend (if not a little chilly..)...

Thanks Jess! I am so chuffed!! :D it's nice to know I have finally got my head around all of the days too, so I have alot more variety throughout the week. I have started the running for weight loss one, its similar to c25k I think.. Today was 5 min warm up, then alternates of run for 1 min...

Its weird because I like the burgers, sausages and the mince.. But I think it's a texture thing with me with the 'chicken' pieces, but I'm glad I tried it anyway.. Even if I do feel I've wasted my lunch today. X

I do not like the quorn pieces at all :( yuck!!!!!! What a waste of a lunch... Feeling like I want some crisps and chocolate now to cheer myself up! :/ I best make sure I have an epic dinner to make up for it... What a massive shame :'( xx
