I dont think you need to cut out the bananas altogether Sue, but if you had one every other day, instead of every day, that might be enough to tip the balance. Replace it with a superspeed like berries.
Once the strawberries are over we don't get another berries on sale here. We have most fruits in abundance. I eat mainly pears, melon, nectarines and plums.
I am going to do another fish week starting on Monday (once I can actually afford to do a shop!) so I will keep you company for some of the way.
I too have to shop when the dosh is there as we have no regular fixed income unless you count my 2.55 a week pension from G.B. and that is after working for 20 years, but that is another story.
Also, you asked about the yogurts. They are a free food so theoretically you can eat as many as you want. HOWEVER, despite the fact that we dont count calories, (and the fact that I dont know what type you can get there) if you have three mullerlites a day you are putting 300 calories into your body, or thereabouts. Whilst we arent consuming much in the way of fat, its a hypothetical equivalent of 15 syns (I know they dont HAVE syns, but just to put a little perspective in).
The yogurts I eat are 43 calories so not so much harm done there. I love Muller lights ( Toffee yummmmmmmm) but they are to expensive here. I buy them if they are on offer which is so rare.
Personally, I try not to have more than 2 a day. One at breakfast and then maybe one for dessert after dinner or as a snack at suppertime. It has done my losses no harm at all. I defo wouldn't eat any more than 3 a day though.
I have taken your advice and it will be 2 a day max. from now on. I always have one for breakfast with fruit so will stick with that.
I hope the fish week gives your metabolism a good kick in the pants and gets you going again. I am not the worlds biggest fish fan either, but I will happily eat cod and tuna and salmon, and I used to love prawns, (lets not go there though) so if you like any of those then fish curry can be a good way of disguising the fish if its not your favourite taste, or a fish pie.
I am doing fish pie tonight using my 198grams of spuds and my cheese allowance as a topping and putting roasted peppers and onions and tomatoes with the fish.
Will be keeping my eyes peeled for updates.
Thank you for that. It is so encouraging to know someone cares enough to keep on eye on me !
By the way, how is my namesake getting along? Not seen any sign of her since she went home, am dying to know how she is progressing!
