Haha thanks you lot 
So.... He returned from his work trip, doesn't seem too bad, they seem to have looked after him ok. I however, although was good enough to say no to chocolate, I could have been better with tea. We went to the new chinese and sampled their menu. The "Banquet for 2".. well there was 2 of us...
Dinner was slightly over-indulgent - Starter of spring rolls, chicken satay, spare ribs, and prawn toast, followed by crispy duck pancakes and then a selection of mains - sweet & sour chicken, peking beef and satay king prawns. With rice and noodles too. I actually ate til I couldn't eat any more.
And hurrah, I have new found motivation. I discovered this in the throes of passion when I felt rather hideous. Bring on the salad, ladies, we've got a few too many curves, they need taking out!
Then today, could barely face breakfast, still too full... but he said I had to eat something and stuffed a slice of toast in my face.
Lunch was a bought beef sandwich, with red onion. Low calorie, no mayo or owt
Tea was the chow mein-ish stir fry that I was going to make the other night.
I was just writing a list of calories and stuff, to pin on my wall and I saw something strange. Mince. If I do a portion of beef mince, I use 125g. If I use a portion of quorn mince, it's 100g. Why is that? Hmm. Need to sort THAT out! 100g all the way!
In fact, I am actually contemplating going back to my vegetarian roots, 5 days a week. And just having meat at the weekend. I don't know though, that could be tougher than I think. But it would stop me wanting to cave and have a cheeseburger from the Spoon on a friday! haha.
Starting to plan the 3 course meal for the anniversary too. This, obviously, will be a non-counted day. I have 3 options for each course, and one of the options for dessert is 780 cals a serving alone. Without the dollop of icecream that I will be adding.
Ideas so far are
Starter - a) some type of soup, b) bruschetta, c) red onion and goats cheese tart
Main - a) Chicken Cacciatore with penne pasta b) mini lasagnes, possibly chicken and spinach instead of mince c) beef wellington with proper homemade chips
Dessert - a) Chocolate Fondant with vanilla icecream, b) strawberry creme brulee, c) eton mess maybe?
Who knows. It'll make a mess of his kitchen either way haha
Off for a catch up I know I'm not commenting a lot people, but I am reading and keeping tabs on you all xx

Oh believe me Jess, they have known for years that I have been carrying my brother !!
He's 5 years older - When I got my first job at 15 cleaning out fish tanks in the pet shop for £15 a saturday, he started asking for help with money... I think 11 years is enough now, he's on twice the money that I get, no idea what happens to it...!!!
Haha, I'm sure it's not, I'm just a drama queen

plodding away
I wasnt feeling at all hungry until reading this Jen. I love chinese especially spare ribs and as if that wasnt enough you start dangling a 3 course meal in front of my very eyes. All too much at this time of the night.
I'm voting for - red onion & goats cheese tart, beef wellington and plenty of home made chips & I'll have a portion of all 3 puddings thanks
Have a drama free night

I must admit, I am tempted by the wellington! I have never had it before, but it can't be that tricky, surely!
Every week, I seem to dither and want to chop&change plan. See, I was in the shop earlier and saw the SW magazine and thought "that worked, I could do that again"... sheesh...
Why is that? Impatience? I need my head cracking off something hard... just bloody stick to something. 4 weeks. That's all it takes to retrain one's head to a new way of thinking, right??
Today I'm doing fine foodwise. Was not even tempted to go to the Spoon for lunch, which is ace!
Breakfast - scrambled eggs on toast
Lunch - spaghetti bolonese
Tea - chicken cacciatore - chicken in a creamy tomato sauce, with onions and peppers, and pasta on the side. mmHMM! SO looking forward to tea today!
So here I am on my break, reading my magazine and having my tinned spaghetti, while everyone else tucks into their burgers, or fish n chips. I swear I can actually smell the grease, this is strange. I just don't want it, I'm amazed!!! And now - I am definitely not doing SW. I am totally uninspired by the magazine, it has not won me back!
And I had intended to have a roll with my spaghetti, but it had gone hairy. That's the third one this week that's gone funny. Maybe I should stop getting rolls
As of next week, I am getting back in the habit of cooking. This ready-meal-laziness has gone on long enough, and it's not like I don't have the time in the evenings to cook. Someone has to take over Katie's crown, it may as well be me!
Starting tonight with the cacciatore
I am making cupcakes for my mum's birthday. It comes to 2.5 points a slice, the cake "serves 6".... I'm going to make it into 8 cupcakes instead of one big cake - half fudge and half strawberry flavoured. And obviously the strawberry ones will be pink and glittery! x

So I had a *really* successful shopping trip.
Here's the list:
Yogurt, bread rolls, fruit, pork, parma ham, squash, skimmed milk, philly xlight, pasta sauce and fish [cobbler, hoki, salmon etc].
Here's my receipt:
Turkey steak, button mushrooms, birds eye breaded chicken, WW loaf, birdseye breaded cod fillets, pasta, creme fraiche, pizza base mix.
I have no tomatoes, no chicken, and no philly to make the cacciatore. Bum. What a tart...

:O No, I haven't had the chinese marinaded one.... this was the "hot n spicey" one, and I have a mint one in the fridge... must keep an eye out for the chinesey one!!! Its such a good idea, good prices too. I'm a convert!
I'm gutted, I feel like I have been hit by a truck. I'm all achey and my throat feels like barbed wire. Must make sure I drink plenty of fluids today, I cant afford to be off ill at the moment.
Breakfast - quorn sausage butty
snack - nutella on toast
lunch - spicy beef pizza
tea - I haven't got that far yet...
And I haven't pointed anything yet. Oops
Today is the big stag do, meaning that I am on call for Taxi duty. I'm so pleased he got back for it, and so hoping he has a good day & night. Was very pleased that I woke up to sunshine - hopefully he has the sun too!!!
I felt cheeky, so I text him a pic of my lunch and said "mmmmm fish"

Dear Minimin's family,
Just a teeny update on my weekend... SOMEONE was very drunk again last night, and felt worse for wear today. It wasn't me... Needless to say, the stag do that I was so anxious he got home for was a total success!
I'm not feeling great. I think I have caught a bug or something, I feel fluey rather than coldy, and I think I'm going to bed in 5 minutes. It's 10pm..
Today I have managed to eat a slice of toast with jam, 2 chocolate hobnobs, and a bowl of pasta with ham chopped into it. And I only had the pasta to shut him up nagging at me...!
I have to eat that broccoli tomorrow, before it walks out the fridge and follows me to work...
OH! And I got some parma ham, or prosciutto? maybe anyway, with an idea of doing saltimbocco. I think. It might be called something entirely different.........
I got stuff to make mum lasagna for her birthday tea tomorrow. And got home and dad has been to the geet expensive butcher and got ribeye steak for her - her other favourite. So lasagna will happen another time in the week now.
Have a great week this week everyone
Signed,

Sweet wrapper fetishist.
What a nice catch up this has been Jen. Apart from the fact you're poorly of course - get well soon chicky! So nice to hear you and BB getting on so well and it sounds like you had a lovely weekend.
And as for the return of motivation - well done you. Excellent work. It's so nice to feel in control and when you were describing 'smelling the grease' I totally knew what you meant. So I'm sending you proper positive vibes that your motivation sticks with you for a couple of weeks - once you see a decent loss you won't need to maintain motivation cos that'll do it for you.
Hope you have a great day Jen - plenty of lemsip!
