Good did you have a nice NYE? Feeling good so far today, think I was ready just to get back to it, which is a change for me as normally I use a few days off as an excuse to fall completely off the bandwagon! I have seen the sausages on your menu a couple of times and it reminded me I had some in the freezer! Quiet New Years for me but I didn't mind too much. Have the next few days off work to get my routine back on track fully xx

Welcome back Darl! Happy New Year to you too! Well we will soon have that off and more huh? I have a feeling about this year. I am on it and we will succeed! Had a cheeky weigh earlier and 2 of the 6 pounds seem to have made a disappearance already plus I feel less bloated! So I will carry on and just take things week by week!
Food Today (Will update calories later as my phone is dead and it has MFP on it for me....
B- Slice of toast, laughing cow light and a tangerine (133)
L- Yo!Sushi with my friend (was lush and super tasty plus the calories are on the menu!) Miso Soup, Chicken Gyosa, Crunchy Prawn Iso and x2 Spicy Chicken Iso (654)
D- Made my Own take on Spanish Chicken, was gorgeous and so tasty- the other half said it was "restaurant quality" haha so I think it went down well (496)
Good day today and I have really enjoyed it, around 1280 calories but will pop exact totals on later
Edit* exact total 1283*

Oh God it's so hard when they sit eating something nice next to you! My other half had a chinese before christmas and my mouth was watering! crisps don't normally bother me (unless they are doritos, i would rip someones arm off for them!) its chocolate I am a swine for.... there is a giant tobelerone staring at me!
Cheers hun, have felt really motivated today and pleased that I am back on it fully. Glad you like my menus I should maybe post some recipes sometime, I do like to cook!
Oh god I could easily manage the family bag of doritos ( I have been known to when hungover! lol)
Not too bad has been nice and chilled in my pjamas, hope you are feeling a bit better? xxxx

Hi ladies!
Good day today and I have enjoyed what I have eaten
B- Lemon Curd Yeo Valley Yogurt with pomegranate seeds, chopped strawberries and a chopped caramel/ chocolate cereal bar (260)
L- M and S Simply Fuller Longer meal.... I went for the pulled ham in mustard sauce with mash, baby carrots and green beans. Lovely and so fresh I would really recommend if you fancied something filling and tasty for work (300)
D- Quorn Lasagne, Sweet potato wedges and bright salad with tbsp mayo. Then I had a pudding today of 2 crushed meringue nests and a 10 cal jelly to make a sort of Eton mess, really enjoyed this as I don't tend to have puddings as such in the week! (648)
Total 1208
Plus I am going swimming tomorrow with one of my friends. My new years resolution is to learn to swim properly! I can just about do doggy paddle and i hate water (unless it involves a bath/shower). Hope that I can improve and also get some exercise into the bargain!
Carrie- Feeling fully back on track now and I am popping over for a read of your 5:2 diary this evening xx
