Day 2 Monday
BREAKFAST - Strawberry shake
Lunch - Small bowl of salad inc. lettuce, tomato, celery, red pepper, cucumber & tuna mixed with spring onion.
Dressed with pepper and teaspoon of balsamic vinegar.
Was full about halfway through - had to put it to one side and keep going back to it! Was soooo good tho
DINNER - 6oz cod cut up into chunks and barbequed on skewers with 3 cherry tomatoes, 3 small mushrooms, 1/4 red pepper and some onion.
Didn't look as appetising as everyone else's bbq food but tasted fantastic!
Really bloated now.
DRINKS - loads of water and one cup of tea with skimmed milk.

FloridaGirl, Mark is so right!
I have never been a person to get uncomfortably full after a big meal and always have room for dessert but these last few days I have been getting so bloated after my meals!
In the office today we had one of the bosses visiting and I bought cookies for everyone - I wasn't even tempted to have one.
The salad that I took in for my lunch was another story though - I was practically drooling over it!
Never thought this would happen - just hoping it lasts!
Mark - I have been seasoning with salt and pepper, what else can I use?

Danielle, I was always a lover of Indian food so I use quite a lot of Indian spices...Tandoori Mix, Garam Massala...you can try Chinese 5 spice mix and others.
According to my Chemist, all spices like that can be used as required and it makes a change from the ordinary salt and pepper. I especially like to do my chicken in the indian spices then cook it on a bed of garlic. Another alternative is to mix the spices into low-fat natural yoghurt then use it as a marinade.
Just experiment...it's fun...some you win, some you don't, but that's part of the fun!
ooh, I am cooking my dinner at my mum's later so may raid her spice rack for some Indian spices.
In my house we have salt, pepper and oregano, that's about it!!
Thanks for the tip - will let you know how it goes
Yes, please do....have fun!

I found I was leaving things too in the early stages...it's really surprising how big a 6oz piece of samlon is! When you're reading the sample menus before starting refeed, it doesn't sound a lot, but the plates end up full! lol
Sounds like you're doing great Danielle, let's hope the results at your next weigh-in reflect that!
