Hello - I'm back! Was avoiding computer in the evenings to rest my eyes but they are much better now. Now I will be allowed back to the gym on Monday I am determined to get back to that good place I was in a few weeks ago before all slid downhill! Will post food from tomorrow. xx

I looked exactly as ridiculous as you are imagining!!

Today I counted only til dinner but had impromptu nigh in with two close friends, one of whom lives in Birmingham and only popped home to her parents nearby for the weekend at short notice. I was good though.

B - porridge with skim milk, half banana, walnuts, pb, tea with ss milk, juice = 419
L - wholemeal bread, egg, sprinkle cheddar, mango = 359
S - half eat natural fruit and nut bar = 112
D - homemade veggie pizza, glass red wine, mixed leaves, rf honey mustard dressing, chocolate torte (ONE slice - my friends had TWO, oh the restraint!)

I enjoyed making the pizza, used the dough mix from morrisons that makes an 8inch pizza (used 2 packets), made two rectangular pizzas with thin layer tomato pasta sauce on, grilled courgette and pepper, some artichoke hearts and used one ball of rf mozarella over the pizzas. It was tasty and I liked that it tasted fresh and I could control the oil and cheese aspect of it (makes up partly for the dessert and wine, feels more balanced) I will definitely do it again just for me, might have a new friday night tradition to introduce! Felt so nice to give my friends 'homemade' pizza!

Happy weekend everyone xx

i love making pizza but i'm always just too lazy!
