MissMoneypenny: This time its serious!!

[MissMoneypenny]

Hi there,

Started back on SW on Monday. Doing an eight week sponsored slim in work so have to NOT show myself up. Went to Boots on Monday for a print out of my weight. Already knew my weight and height so had a good idea of my BMI, but OMG my body fat percentage was 41%. That means I'm almost half fat - I think the other half is denial.

Anyway was working night shift Mon/Tues so heres a run down of what I've had since then. Please feel free to comment and hopefully point me in the right direction.

Cheers

Monday 8th March
scrambled eggs with 3slices WW Brown Danish HEB
Jacket potato and beans
Pasta with roasted veg (Onion, red onion, peppers, mushrooms tossed in 1 tbsp blasamic vinegar and fry lite) stirred through with 4 LCL HEA

Friday 19th March

Going to post todays menu now as in work all weekend.
42g Crunchy Bran with yoghurt and fruit HEb
Mince and Spaghetti Frittata HEa - this was lovely. I made it as the Gino D' Campo recipe on the recipes thread. Followed the quantities but added more veg to incorporate the third superfree. It made loads so will be able to pack it up for teas in work. Try it. I portioned mine into six huge portions and only used two HEa's for whole recipe
For tea we shall have homemade burgers with potato wedges, salad and some bacon/chicken pasta salad I have made for packed lunches over weekend.
Most probably will have a couple of yoghurts as well
