Hehe I like my curry too Rach and discovered chickpea masala last time I went to an Indian restaurant so that's where I got the idea from. Yummy.
Yesterday was... well Monday's night's combat class was awesome but by yesterday afternoon I was in pain, not sore and achey but pain. I completely overdid it and my shoulders, across my upper back and down my upper arms were burning last night and all of today. Really wanted to go to bodyattack and knew I'd feel totally fat and lazy and useless if I didn't so I got myself all worked up this evening and ended up bawling down the phone to my mum who sensibly suggested I stay home and get early night tonight and go to the step class tomorrow instead (since my arms wont be up to LBT anyway). I calmed down and feel better now. Anyway all that trauma meant yeserday foodwise went - well not badly as I ate mostly good things, but the choosing of good things eg muesli to chomp on was damage limitation against the temptation to eat a litre of ice cream! Anyway, today was better-ish.
Apologies for always moaning, don't know why you keep reading!!
Today -
B - muesli, milk, tea, juice = 470
L - sushi, jam tart, clementines, blueberries = 477
D - baked sweet potato, smidge olivio, sprinkle cheese, brussel sprouts, 1 egg+1 egg white omlette, frylight = 384
S - cereal bar = 79
= 1409
then I had an unmeasured bowl of muesli, prob 250 cals on top and would have been fine if I wasn't so pathetically wimpy that I mess up my arms after an hours exercise!!!!! Grr!!! Think I need some sleep!

Hey you, sorry not been around much this week - mega busy.

Well done on your 6 mile country walk - very impressive at this time of year. I went off to lincolnshire to donna nook to see baby seals - soooo cute!!! Think I earnt a good few APs there! Hope you're having a fab weekend xxx

And I love Cambridge - my sister is at uni there (she's a brainy box!!) and love visiting her, I am on the look out for a job there as I would really love to live there (if I can afford it!!).

Hehe such good intentions, broke into the chocolate last night (embarrassingly OTT on the consumption) but I added some to last night's cal total and the rest to todays so all is accounted for.

L - wholemeal wrap with spinach, tomato, cuc, WW tin tuna mayo; carrot; ski yog = 420

D - acorn squash, courgette, mushrooms, roasted veg ravioli, ham, mango = 409
NET:
+ choc from last night = 1645
- bodycombat (logged on foodfocus as high impact aerobics - 387) = 1258
Bodycombat definitely made up for having to spend an hour standing outside in the rain during a fire drill at 10am this morning!! Was not a happy bunny!
