roast, veggies only.

leftovers, with a little meat.

decided to ditch the extraneous information - all i'm interested in is the calories!

dinner last night was a hairy biker's recipe - but instead of cod with parma ham it was pollack with prosciutto. added a baked potato because i had a feeling this was one of their smaller main meals (and i was right).

tonight's dinner is beef & ale casserole, might have a slice of bread to mop up the juices, mmmmm...

My cousin is loving the Hairy Bikers diet recipes-I might give some of them a go myself.

i must buy the Hairy Bikers Diet book cos I have the Mums know Best books and they are fab - their cottage pie is amazing and I adapted to slimming world - it was free on ee, will have to figure out calories in it cos its gorgeous, we love just the mince on top of a jacket spud with a sprinkle of cheese

 

[sprytez]

dinner was lovely! though i burned my tongue scarfing it down. instead of a jacket potato or slice of bread, i just went all in for a double portion of the casserole... nommmmmm! not sure if i've finished for the day yet, so will update later with the diary.

that spanish chicken is da bomb! and very filling, too! ok, so we had the 4 portions between the three of us (they had the chicken between them, i got the veggies) but still, i'm nicely full i did fancy summat fine though, so got me a yoghurt to top off

really looking forward to getting weighed tomorrow, should be one step closer to goal #3 !!!

they are indeed! well worth the money. they have recipes for dinners, lunches, puddings, snacks - go go go buy buy buy!

welp, mum used all my tuna, so no tuna hairy biker salad tonight, instead an emergency standby - pasta and sauce. went to tesco to do our shopping after the weigh in (another loss - but a small one :/ meh) and stayed for lunch. instead of looking at the prices and deciding on that basis, we were looking at the calories and deciding based on THAT. and wow. LOTS of calories. it's about right for those on the 2k a day intake, but i'm working on way less than that. in fact, i've reduced it further as i'm now weighing less.

did buy some chocolate though, for those days where i have 100cal left after dinner

 

[sprytez]

not sure why, but my ticker was wrong... corrected it, but QQ at more to go

[donnajt]

well done on your weight loss - my fav choc treat is a freddo or animal bar

 

[sprytez]

bought some dairy milk with crunchie bits - one line is 125cal

 

[donnajt]

I couldnt only eat i line...u r a stronger lady than me x

 

[sprytez]

ate a whole (well, 90%) thorntons heart that i got for mother's day... mmmmmmm chocolate...

 

[donnajt]

I've just had 5 chocoaltes from my Dairy Box and they work out at 257 cals!!! wish I'd had a freddo

 

[sprytez]

haha

well, i did 12 extra minutes on my bike to work off the rest of the chocolate so that i'd "pass" my calorie goal today.

totally worth it. i have an overall deficit this week anyway so i'll average out just fine.

 

[donnajt]

Well done!!!
