I'm not doing very well at the moment, not much looking forward to WI tomorrow. BUT..... I'm now back at work, DD is back at school and things can get back to normal.
I'm sitting tonight and planning my week's meals, I'm doing a full week of success express to kick start me once again. We have a free weekend coming up but after that we have something on every weekend for about 5 weeks. Eek! So that means I'll be lucky to lose any weight those weeks. I need 2lb off.
Right, pen and pencil and magazine and cookbooks at the ready. Planning here we come!!! (with a cuppa and some chocolate)

Planning is such a winner. It totally gets you in the zone! Good luck tomorrow hon, I hope you can shift a bit of that little teensy gain.
Sorry I've not been checking in recently, I've been so rubbish on the minis front, it's shocking...and might be contributing to my seemingly 'sod it' attitude at the moment. So much for actual effort!
Here's to a great next week

Thanks Lovely Hellie *hugs*
Your post prompted me to get my thinking cap on re the minis front. It's so true, when I've been naughty I don't write all my food down, if at all and don't really post on here especially on a weekend.
It's been a tough couple of week though what with my bad week and then being off last week, foods gone completely to pot.
I did do a full week's food planning last night though, discounting tomorrow lunch which will be at the Wake, I will be 100% on plan. Actual, Determined and Full Focused Effort (TM) begins.
Tuesday 3rd November EE
Breakfast - 2 "fried eggs" with 2 slices of ham on 2 small slices of toast (B)
Lunch - 4 ryvita wholegrain crackerbread (4) with cottage cheese and onion. 2 satsumas.
Dinner - Lamb Tagine (from the magazine) with rice.
I'm really looking forward to my dinner, been wanting to make this Tagine since last week!

Thank you lovely girls! I'm lucky but I have been okay ish so pleased with sts.
Anyway, funeral today so will go off the rails a teensy bit this afternoon depending on what food is at the Wake.
I'm following the principle of SE though just lunch will be an exception!
Wednesday 4th November - SE (ish)
Breakfast - 2 Weetabix (B) with half a sliced banana and milk (A)
Snack - mixed melon fruit salad thing from Tesco with an Activia FF yoghurt (all superfree!)
Lunch - not much really, a couple of sandwiches, some salad and roasties (just 2) and 2 biscuits
Dinner - small jacket potato with cottage cheese and huge mixed salad (2/3) 28g grated cheese (6 syns)
Other B choice = bread
I'll write all my syns off for today. I really wasn't too bad at lunch, didn't really fancy food :cry:
