LJ's Journey to be Slim by Sixty

[upndown]

Cheese, I love cheese. Don`t buy it very often,. I am sure you enjoyed your food, it does sound like it.
Size 10 absolutely fantastic CJ.
There is plenty of room on the wagon. See you there. x

I'm a cheese monster too - I love it as it is, cooked, toasted, grated, in cubes, u name it.... but for 13 weeks - I've restricted myself and I now have parmesan in the fridge since I read that u get a lot of taste for little weight - I prefer it grated and sometime mixed with full or reduced fat cheese.

I also use half fat cheese like that (the devil's food unless it's half and half - then good on sarnies, salads and cooked I think!)

L: 2 Ryvita (half a HEB), Laughing Cow triangle part HEA, cherry toms and cucumber, Satsuma and banana - mullark - muller & quark mix

T: lamb chop (unlike Mo - did not cut fat off - there wasn't much but it was lovely - how many syns????) spinach, carrot, cabbage and cauli - 2 tsps sweet chilli sauce (2 syns)
dessert - Mullark with banana, tsp syrup 1 syn, 3 brazil and 10 hazelnuts - HEB

Drinks: only 1.2L so far in water and fruit teas, 2 coffees - milk part HEA

I have also looked up water retention and one of the things they recommend are bananas. I had some in the fruit bowl so had 2. The swelling is worse in my feet so am going to raise them on pillows while in bed. I feel fine except in my head. It feels like someone is putting pressure on my head. I have had it before, but this is the worse for some time. Not sure why, but if no improvement by Monday will ring docs.
I suspect it will be much improved by morning,

Night all, Have a good weekend all.

Morning all from the Midlands. I am so happy to be here in my future bedroom even though it's only for a few days. I didn't report on WI this week. I lost 0.4lb so still 0.4lb above my lowest a few weeks ago. Had an off plan few days but still motivated to continue.

Looking forward to the allotment meeting today. I suspect we will have ourselves an allotment by this afternoon! CJ and I both have back problems but as long as we pace ourselves I am hoping it could help strengthen our muscles and be beneficial in so many ways. Obviously we can't start the physical work until I am back for good in August but we can enjoy the planning until then.

Speaking of CJ she is so slim! You should see her tiny waist! Well done CJ. You can't be far off goal now!

We have a busy day ahead. This morning I am going to make a big pot of bolognaise sauce for lunch. My sister is visiting for the day and CJ and her sister are coming over so that's 5 for lunch. Then we are all going to cram in the car and go to my brother's house to visit. He lives about 15 miles away. It will be a nice family day.

Have a nice weekend everyone

Hi LJ. Good to hear from you. I reckon that working on the garden or in your case it will be the allotment can be very pleasurable. I wanted to put theraputic but can`t spell it.
Enjoy your time with your brother and have a good weekend. Looking good eh CJ.

My legs are not quite so bad today. I don`t feel as good as I could and will definitely ring the doc on Monday. Especially as the children are coming up Tuesday and the way my body feels at the moment it would be hard work. My knees feel the worst.

I got 2 pineapples and a melon this morning so with the bananas and the water pills I stand a good chance of it clearing.

This is the general idea of my food today.
Breakfast, eggs bacon mushrooms and 2 toast
Lunch. BNS & carrot soup, 5 scan bran (5) 2 bananas
Dinner. Roast corgette, onion pepper toms sw chips & chicken.
Jelly (1.5) with frozen fruit & nat yogurt.
Most likely a Baileys coffee 20mls (3)

Did some sort of exercise today sorting out drawers, moving the bed and units. Just got to hoover down the stairs then TV & coffee time.
Tomorrow hoover through downstairs and wash the kitchen floor and hopefully do some more to the garden.

Everybody have a good weekend. Hopefully the sun will come out and play tomorrow.

Im glad your legs are a bit better today but Im very glad you are going to ring the Doctors.
