Thanks Sarah.
So far so good this weekend - I managed to stay on track and avoid the treats last night. Very pleased about that. Todays munch is looking like this:
B - Porridge made with water, chopped banana (satisfied me at the time but didn't seem long before I was feeling hungry again!)
L - Brown rice with roasted veg (absolutely delicious. Last night's leftovers) plus a WW bakewell slice (Treat 1) and a cup of tea.
D - Roast dinner - Roast chicken breast, roast potato (my 2 tsp oil will be used here), carrots, broccoli, peas, gravy made with chicken stock
Dessert - sugar free jelly, fruit cocktail and a dollop of set, sweetened thick greek yogurt.
Snacks - clementines, banana, skinny latte.
I'm just off to look up whether peas are free on SS/F&H and then I'll roast up the chicken and cook up a batch of F&H soup.

Great - and thanks!
Only if make without flour. I usually use chicken stock and vegetable stock and reduce it down to a decent thickness. Takes a while though!
Easier still, if i have any "Treats" left, I will also add 1 tbspn of cornflour.
No gravy granules. Just reduced stock and today I did have to use 1 tbspn of cornflour but that was between two of us, with some gravy left over so it was probably about 1/3 of a tbspn,
Food looks great
I do enjoy a good roast now and again. My chicken and roasties turned out lovely today too.
Ah, thank you.x
I'm not quite in the swing of things yet - got WI on Wednesday, will have to take the results on the chin and get back on it.
Was really rubbish today because I was working late. Started well:
B - Banana & apple
L - Jacket potato with beans and salad
D - Kit kat, custard doughnut (oops x 2)
Supper (because clearly the kit kat and custard weren't enough, greedy cow!!) Brown roll with chicken, low fat mayo and WW cheese puffs.
Haven't even bothered counting but will get a grip from tomorrow onwards.
WI was on Wednesday and I gained half a pound. The scales wavered between a STS (I would have been very happy) and a half pound gain (not too bothered) and eventually settled on the gain.
I had a function on Thursday (three course meal) although I only ate the salad on my starter, I avoided the butter, the main was pork (I avoided the fat), roasties (I left those), boiled potatoes (ate 1) and veg wrapped in bacon (left it). Dessert was a small portion of apple crumble and custard (ate it all!!) and I had two glasses of wine and 2 vodka's and diet coke. I didn't think that was too bad but the chocolate and biscuits through the week combined with no exercise at all have taken their toll.
I am trying to be on track today and tomorrow but then I am away from home for all of the following week and that will be difficult. I will try to avoid snacking and to choose sensibly. I think there is a Harvester close to where I am staying and I will try to eat there when I can.
When I get back I am hoping the weather will have improved so I can get out for walks or runs or indeed as my latest deadline at work is now over I can get to the gym at lunchtimes. I want to keep my fitness up so I need to do something. The diet will then follow.

Had a good food day today. Had a lie in for a change, got up at 10.30 so feel quite relaxes. I am doing Simple Start until I get back from my trip away, hence no points are listed.
B - FF thick Greek yogurt, strawberries, small banana and blueberries
L - 2 x WW petit pain (still warm) with ham and tomato (very nice)
D - smoked haddock parcels. Baked in parchment with sliced new potatoes, plum tomatoes asparagues, peas, basil, parsley and lemon juice. Divine!
I even have two treats still to use! Yay!!

0.5lb gain isn't too bad. A good week will have that and a friend gone
Hope so!
Another good day today, despite running round like a mad woman trying to get organised for my trip away. Have managed to tag on a trip to Edinburgh, got a restaurant booked and got tickets for the Scotland v England 6 Nations rugby match, both of which I am looking forward to.
B - WW petits pain, freshly baked, with 3 bacon medallions, lettuce and tomato (a mayo-free BLT - delish) 8pp
L - 2 crumpets with low fat spread and a banana 6pp
D - WW chicken tikka masala, WW layered fromage frais 10pp
Snacks - fruit, tea and coffee 2pp for skimmed milk.
26/26
I mainly had F&h foods yesterday and having just checked the points values I had 23/26 points yesterday. Feeling much more in control again.
