Well yesterday was a total
Disaster two bottles of wine and steak and chips and the mother of all hangovers today . To add to my suffering (which I totally deserve) had to get up at 6am (still pissed) and get everyone up
to go to football as my son was playing . Was out of the house by 7am ( an ungodly hour for a Sunday) , couldn't face breakfast then by 10am feeling sick and needed to eat. All I could find was a cheese sandwich so not exactly on plan today either.

 

[Laura94B]

I made the peanut butter mistake too! Such a shame, it's so nice... I had a disaster day yesterday too, don't let it knock you back though! Just write it off and start afresh tomorrow, I'm sure you'll feel better for it Good luck!

 

[mellymelz]

Yes I'm sure your right just worried I've now put all the weight I have tried so hard to loose , back on again.

It happens sometimes Doesn't mean you can't lose it again, although it is a bit of a pain in the ass

Hi mellymelz,

been nice to read through your diary and find im not the only one who had a bad diet weekend. Strictly back on plan as of today though .

Is your chilli beef like mexican tomato sauce? it sounds yummy whatever it is

 

[mellymelz]

I found it in tesco it's called Make a Meal with Chilli beef and they also do one that's a mustard gammon both are lovely and syn free on a red and EE day . Especially when you don't have much time they are quick and easy as you can have them hot or cold . Added to which tesco are doing three packs for £5 at the mo

Oooh, excited to see how they turned out, I've tried another pancake recipe (which was ok), but would like to try magic pancakes if they come out ok

 

[rosieposie1989]

thats brill... i'm off to tesco's in the morning anyway so will definitely be added to my list. thanks for the heads up

 

[mellymelz]

Well made the magic pancakes. They looked like pancakes but had a funny yogart taste which I didn't like and couldn't eat them.... Thoroughly disappointed with them
