[mommyB]

Thanks Iris, yes want a good loss before hols as i know i will put a bit on whilst i'm there- I am human!!

Just ben saying on my main diary that i'm really enjoying the change of diet, feel like i have more choice and variety and so it will be sustainable.

 

[clarri]

[mommyB]

[mommyB]

food for today was
B toasted bagel with l/f crpead and apricot jam
L felafel, salad, choc flavoured twister ice lol
s go ahead bkaed bars, apple and sultana flavour
D tuna steak,roast veg, couscous, strawberrys and cream

came in at 1286 today which is good cos i went 300 over yesterday, but that did include an indian takeaway and wine, so i think i did ok

 

[Iris]

Your daily diet always sounds so appetising. You should open a B&B - I'd stay!

I've been at the old twister choc ices myself, must admit. Thank god for low cal treats, they keep you sane!

 

[mommyB]

LOL Iris, i'm not sure about a B&B but i do like a bit of variety, i see some peoples food diaries and they seem to eat more or less the same day after day, i just could do that !!
plan for today

B weetabix
L bagel with ham and soft cheese + some slaldy bits
Dlow fat sausage with garlicky mash and leeks

[Iris]

How's it hanging, mommyb? Just as an aside, I love your screen-name... it sounds so blingtastically r'n'b.

I usually trot in here just to have a drool over your menus, must admit. Hope it's going to plan this week!

 

[mommyB]

Thanks for dropping by Iris, havent updated my menus for a couple of days but i lost 3 lbs this week and my weight is the lowest since joining mins so I'm really pleased with that. tgrying for another 3lb in the 2 weeks til my hols-think that is realistic

yesterday i did not feel like i was on a diet

I had:
B herb omlette
s fig yogurt
L beans and cheese on toast, banana and custard ( low fat of course)
s alpen lite bar ( choc and fudge)
D oven chips, scampi and salad, twister ice lol.

Staying at friends tonight which will involve a takeaway and mucho vino, but plan to cut back in the week to balance things out.

 

[Iris]

Congrats on the 3lbs! I think you're walking proof that taking weight off doesn't have to be total misery, that you can still eat a great diet and have fun with food.

I think you've decided my next chip shop treat... scampi! Haven't had any in much too long.

 

[mommyB]

hi Iris, i have been VERY bad this weekend but am back on track now, fingers crossed i can pull it back for my weigh in on friday. Then just one more week to my hols (been and bought a wetsuit this morning)

 

[mommyB]

Well after messing about for months,giving up completely at the end of november and regaining everything i have lost in the last couple of years i am restarting cal counting tomorrow. still have my main diary in the members section but feel that this one wil b useful to post my food and have other cal counters let me know how i'm doing.

Off shopping now to stock up on good stuff !!!

 

[Jot]
