Loopeylou's Journey to a Slimmer Me

[Trefoil]

Had a lovely dinner of salad, feta and homemade salsa....today's been a good ( and easier ) DD.

Work is truly awful, stress is ridiculous and trying to get another job is so hard. On a good note we've booked the villa for Florida next year going in Oct as weather is better then and son will have done all his GCSE's oh and I'm 40 lol

Good things to look forward to x

ooooo Florida....i'm well Jel ! i love it there,and hurricane seasons finished by Oct hasn't it ?

 

[Loopeylou]

It's always good to have something to look forward to. We always promised our kids we'd take them to Florida one day, but it's got so expensive since we went about 13 years ago. I'm not sure if we'll be able to manage it.

Homemade salsa? Recipe please. (you'll not dare say what you've been eating, for fear of me wanting the recipe all the time).

It is such alot of money I agree!!

Lol about receipes, I don't mind
Salsa
Red pepper
Red onion
Tomatoes
Jalapeños
White wine vinegar

Can't really tell you quanties as I just chop, weigh and calculate as I go along. The bowl I made last night was 67 cals and it was 3 baby plums tomatoes, 50g red pepper, 50g red onion, a tbsp jalepenos and tbsp white wine vinegar I THINK lol

Made alot and is really yum! I mixed it with my salad to perk it up xx

Can't advise as we all seem to react differently to UP DD days, I always gain on average 3lbs after an UP but I always lose after a DD , others manage to STS after an up or gain after a DD and lose after an UP??? Just keep the faith and keep off the scales until official weigh in day
Have a good day hun x

Thanks for the recipe Claire. Stay strong and stay away from the scales if they're not behaving in a civilised manner.
