Cariad Mawr's trek to a fantabulous 50

[Cariad Mawr]

Weekday breakfast is Weetabix (HXB)and Aldi defrosted raspberries or other fruit. Milk is always HXA. Lunch during the week is restricted - I work in an office with a kitchen but no cooking facilities. Not even a toaster. Bread is out so it's salad by and large and I have quite a reputation for producing tasty salads. But I'd kill for a microwave. I have a food flask but it's not great. I finish off with home made fruit salad and/or fat free yog. I have mugshots and syn free packet soups on standby if needed. I'm more of a savoury person than a sweet tooth.

Dinner/supper this week was roast lamb (kids had beef dripping Yorkshire puds but I abstained), left over cowboy hotpot, SW meatballs and cawl made with leftover lamb (stock made from lamb remains). Cawl is serious comfort food!

I do enjoy a glass or three of wine at the weekend so week time syns are limited to a couple of rich tea biscuits with my evening cuppa.

That said I have had a slice of Brace's Dark & Delicious with my cawl this evening. It was gorgeous but I feel so stuffed.

Only half a pound this week despite walking miles and swimming 45 lengths the day before. But I woke on weigh day with a cold lyrgy. How much does snot weigh? !! Last night I had a night out with work colleagues at a lovely Indian restaurant. The tandoori king prawns were to die for. Back on track today though. That 1.5stone award is only 3.5lbs away.

I have homemade sweet potato and butternut squash soup for lunch and SW chicken curry I made a while back (and froze) with either rice or a jacket for supper.

At least its half off and not on. And my leader says that when you start exersise it takes a couple of weeks to be noticeable in your loss.!
Well done though. And well done for going out and enjoying yourself and getting right back on plan. X x

Looks like you are on it I am dreading the festive season but I am planning to lose all my weight by my 50 th in 2015 so I hopefully will spring back from my fauxpars

Hi Tracey x I have 6 months to go and I know I won't be at target by my 50th unless I don't have one slip up and avoid alcohol altogether. One bod in my group lost 9 stone in 40 weeks - he didn't slip up at Xmas or his birthday. But that's not me I know. Wish it was! Come Friday that glass of vino is calling

Usual weekday brekkie of Weetabix and fruit with salad and yoghurt for lunch today. Dinner was jacket and a rather spicy chicken curry. Currently sat with my evening treat of 2 rich tea biscuits

You know what might bump you loss up is to vary your breakfasts and lunch. Have something different everyday. This gets your metabolism moving quicker.!! Hope this helps
And gosh 9 stone in 40 weeks that's fantastic!

Sometimes I have a jacket potato and beans but I begrudge paying almost a fiver for something I could produce for a few pence! Or if organised I make a frittata and eat it cold. I have no access to a toaster or microwave at the office. The firm don't want an office smelling of food. It really grinds my gears tbh. I've never really found a food flask that really keeps the things hot til lunchtime and bringing hot (smelly) food in has caused comment in the past.

I vary my salads as best I can and use couscous or cold new pots with the odd boiled egg and alternate chicken, ham, fish or seafood.
