Ah yes, the drinkies definitely bring on the munchies. I'm off to Connemara tomorrow for a few days this week and I expect my resistance will be very low!!!!!!!!!!!! This lovely weather is just crying for very cold white wine by the gallon!!!

Thats the problem with the drinks, is the munchies it gives you.

Have a lovely day at Connemara and why not have a nice glass of very cold white.........maybe even 1 bottle, but not a gallon :8855:

 

[irish molly]

Ah but one glass leads to another and then another and before you know it you have had half a dozen of them!!! Anyway, I expect it to be a few days of bad choices and will probably undo my 3lb loss from this week but I will make up for it.

Iris, just had half a bounty and another pack of wotsits. Taking my cals to 1,710 today

Plymouth is lovely Iris. But, we dont get great weather all to often! So when we do litterally the whole of plymouth desends on the hoe, barbican and their back gardens and the smell of bbq's is overwhelming! :8855:

The smell of BBQ's.....mmm.....cant beat it really!

STOPPED!

Glad you stopped!! No point Tanya cause you will just get annoyed at yourself if you carry on! Get that fruit bowl filled!!!

Think I've started a chickpea "nut" craze here!!! They are very low GI but you are meant to have a handful as a snack and not scoff the blinkin lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad you lked them. I loved peanuts etc etc but the chickpeas are nice and nutty after roasting so nake a decent substitute. I've even brought a little bag of them to the cinema to avoid the temptation of other goodies on the way in.
They would make a good snack for you to take to work and have with a piece of fruit. Ladies, rinse them under a tap in a collander and drain them well before putting on the tray.

Going to try them too!
I buy DRIED CHICK PEAS from the Turkish shop..think I have mentioned them before! Will bring them with me when we all meet up! You can only eat a few of them as they are so dry, but they are dry roasted and nothing on them, and great! They do other ones that are coated, but not sure what the coating is, so I dont have them, as I am sure these are fried in something!!

But, will try these.....they are low,,as I think 14gm of carbs is good and low as Irish Molly says...a handful of those instead of a pkt of crisps is much better and wont give you the high that you get with refined carbs!!

Am off to pizza hut tomorrow girls with a friend. Its been arranged for a while so i'm ok with it. Just been looking at the calorie info on their site. Think i will get an individual pizza (4 slices) eat 2 slices and have icecream factory for afters. Either that or i reckon we'll share a medium/large pizza of which i'll still only have 2 slices.

I feel like im in holiday mode already! Friday night it starts! I'm off to see sex and the city 2 at the cinema, i will be having some nawty treats! :drool: then friday night after work - so saturday morning 6am driving straight to Newquay for the bank holiday weekend. Then i have the whole week off work, then its my dads surprise party!! So much going on, im soooo excited! I have to keep this eating under control, although with all the alcohol thats going to get drunk this weekend i hope i still fit in that damn dress next weekend!!!!! :giggle:

Thats half the battle, as long as you know you are going to have a gain, but be prepared for it and have a plan to do something when you get home, they there is no need to be anxious about it. We have to live and have some fun too.

The smell of BBQ's.....mmm.....cant beat it really!

I love the smell of barbecues, but I much much prefer my food cooked inside - another Hyacinth trait :8855:

Aye, we are that hen.

Now you all got me wanting more of them damn chickpeas!

Well they are not that harmful, better to pick on those than crisps, chocolates etc. Nice choice chick.

 

[summergurl]

Mary, ive just looked in me trusty calorie book and for an apple there is around 12g of carbs. For half a tin of the chickpeas i bought today its 18g .... i guess they cant be that bad carb wise!

 

[summergurl]

Blurgh - some walkers sensations (120cals) and a slice of bread with hp sauce (60cals) as i got home from work.

I knew that would happen as my potatoe for tea was measly and i didnt feel satisfied after

Yeah, they seem fine and at least they are satisfying too, so would probably lessen the tendency to pick.

Thats the thing when you are not full at meal times, just sets us off to pick at things later.

Tanya, I hope you have lovely weather over the weekend for your break in the caravan. The weather is set to be a bit cooler, but more in line with the temperatures for this time of year, so hopefully you will still have the sun chick.
