Yesterday was a good day, and came in at under 1200. Yay! It wasn't a deprived day, either, in any sense...
porridge made with water, berries, shape yog
CD hot choc
WW tomato & basil soup, slice wholemeal bread
skinny latte in cafe (on polar expedition to town, for supplies...)
2 quorn fillets, 1 wholemeal roll, smear of low fat houmus
hartleys sugarfree jelly pot & shape yog
Today am planning to make my own soup, now we have basic supplies again... better still. Son still off sick, daughter has hopefully made it in to school now... fire lit...
Hope you all have a fab & lovely day.

Oh... what do you do, put a couple of chopped apples in? Do they have to be cookers? Sounds great, & I have parsnips & eating apples... I like the chopping and making bit, I am by no means a good cook but I enjoy doing soup and it makes me feel a bit earth-motherish to make it... but then, I am the kind of technophobe who cannot work a pressure cooker or a bread machine!

Ha. I hate pressure cookers. I remember the one we had when I was a youngster. So noisy. Are they still noisy like that?
Never used a bread machine. It's something I've manage to avoid as I know I'll be a pig with it. The soup maker is good though. Add ingredients and it chops, browns, cooks, then press the button and it blends. It's a big jug shape, so just pour it out at the end
Still...pure indulgence as the results are still the same as when I made it manually on the hob

I love all this talk of home-made soup - haven't done it really since WW days! - wow!
Quite fancy my own, but will wait to another step or two up.
Katy, although the days are hard (and I know they are at the moment - I don't think the weather is helping) just day by day can really keep us all on track, and it's something I'm learning slowly.
Some days I feel like I'm learning nothing, others I feel that even a 'normal' day is still a learning day, and a 'bad' day - that too is a learning day. Every day now, even when I have made a really bad decision has to have some kind of lesson learnt in it - even if it takes a while for it to sink in. xx

Son has severe tonsillitis & instructed not to go back to school for at least 10 days. He is delighted. Doc said 'you're the first really ill person I've seen all day' and described his tonsils at 'putrid'. Er, thanks! Also said it was a miracle he was upright with such a high temp... this has made Cal feel heroic & me feel like bad mother... we don't go to docs much, but knew he was feeling rotten even though he kept saying he was 'a bit better'. At least now he has anti-biotics and chance to rest & get well.
On a personal note, my food train derailed about half an hour ago... an unexpected visitor (lovely) but felt quite stressed... am just so tired was a major effort to stay bright and jolly. Have blown my cals, and my confidence. Stooopid me. :cry:

Oh no your poor lad!
Kids are awful arent they when it comes to being ill! DD will be like death warmed up, but take her to the doctors and she is fine! tut! Your not a bad mum!!!!!!!!!!!! daft sod!
Re the food train, not been derailed, just diverted through an additional station!
Today, your back on route to your destination....you enjoyed the sites you saw yesterday on your detour, but dont need to repeat the experience every day!
One off.....!
move on sweetie!
today is another day, and you will deal with all the situations as they occur
You are doing a lot better than you realise hun!
At the end of the day, 1200 a day is still low, if you had 700 cal additional yesterday, then you are still only on ab average of 1300 a day which is still low and suitable for a decent weight loss plan!
calm hun! Deep breaths!
Your doing super in my eyes!

Glad you've got some antib's for your son, like you, we rarely go to the doc....my youngest didn't see a Dr until she was 10! and then it was for something minor, but just not fixable by me.
He'll feel better in 24 hours or so, poor boy. Don't worry about the derailment, we are practising, not perfect. The 'mistakes' will be less, or be seen as so, which is probably better.
And of course you are definately NOT a bad mother!! A brilliant one I say. xx

Hope your son is beginning to feel better, bless him.
Glad you had a good day yesterday. It really feels like a team effort on here at the moment - which is lovely especially when we all do struggle from time to time xx

Hope DS gets better now he's got his meds. I'm hopeless at taking my children to the doctor. I always assume they are fussing over nothing or that it will be cured with a good night's sleep. I've taken my no nonsense attitude too far a couple of times where they've had to get really unwell before I've realised it's time to see a professional. I'm the same when it comes to myself.
Keep drinking that echinacea! We can't have you feeling poorly too - we'd get Katy-withdrawals!
