Thank you! I've had plenty of wobbly days where I could have happily shoved my face in some cake! But am happy now that I resisted!!
Makes it so worth while doesn't it !!

Most definitely! But also saves the embarrassment of walking around with cake parts and icing stuck to me

Mondays here again!!!
So today I've been pretty housebound as a carpenter is doing some work. But did manage a little walk to the shops and doctors for my jabs. (Apparently I wasn't immune to rubella after my jab at school. Didn't find out til I was pregnant!).
I got a bit creative...
If any of you masterchefs out there can help me with this and improve it I'll be grateful, but as it stands it was pretty yummy...
I made fish cakes!!
I'm quite an amateur so please don't laugh...
I cooked a white fish fillet - that was 100g before cooking but afterwards it was 50g. Damn it I could've had two! Mistake number one
I boiled up some swede chunks - was 140g pre-cooking. (Probably 100g-120g afterwards).
Beat one small egg.
Chopped up a little bit of parsley and onion.
Mash up the swede.
Flake the fish.
Pop in bowl and mix altogether with some salt and pepper. Make into patties. (I made three big ones!)
Mistake number two - I used a bit too much egg as I chucked it all in - but was nice!
Frying pan with some fry light spray. Few minutes each side and voila! Fishcakes!
I served mine with a side of spinach.
Would have loved some ketchup!
They were yummy and filling! Just not sure if it needed a bit of je ne sais quois?!!
Could've done with a bit more fish really as I accidentally conned myself outta that! Although I guess the egg mistake makes up for that!
Any tips guys?
Cor I'm stuffed and now have a messy kitchen to sort! Ha ha. Wish I'd made a batch of them now!
Hope everyone else's Monday is going well! Xx

Tuesday - avoided lots of sweet treats at my friends house. Was hard but drank lots of coke zero to get me through.
Had a vanilla shake made into a cakey thing, kinda.
Forgot to take anything with me and was out all day. (I can't wait for my delivery to arrive so I can stock my change bag with bars again!!).
I bought a Fage Greek yoghurt but only had two spoonfuls. Wasn't very nice without a bar crumbled in it or lemon flavouring
Was starrrrving when I eventually got home!!
I grilled 3 flat mushrooms and then put spinach on them and made up the chilli pack and put that on top of them with a teensy bit of cheese and shoved under the grill! Was yummy and really filling! Will defo do that again!! I stole the idea from the recipe thread. Yum yum.
Am finding that although I'm refusing lots of naughty food I still don't feel like my actual willpower has got stronger or my mind has learnt that I don't need it. I'm checking out all the foody bits everywhere and if I wasn't doing this diet and feeling bound by invisible strings to stick to it then I would easily be scoffing away on it (and trying to justify it!). I'm worried that once I start trying to maintain that I'll slip back to my old habits all too easily as I honestly don't feel like I've learnt my lesson and that scares the hell outta me! I don't know if my brain will ever learn. So a treat will never be a treat. I'll have to refuse naughty things forever. Hmmm.
Ooo my philosophical deep rant is over! Something I'm just mulling over.
Anyways! perk up Sammy!
Once I've put little un to bed I'll sort washing and her bottles, then have a lovely bath and a hot frothy shake! Will try an early night tonight! I keep trying but get sidetracked! Ha ha.
Hope everyone else's Tuesday has been good xxxxx
