OMG That's truly amazing - top of the class Andrea!!!

Thanks Ems - hope you're week is going well x

Ems - fab idea - when are we starting??? is it just plain water or can we use squash?
and count me in for food challenge - I have been meaning to do the Patisto (or whatever its called!) for weeks

SNAP!

Thanks Andrea - will check this out now
The Baked Bean lasagne - not sure which recipe you are using but mine was lovely (made it last year) was not at all baked bean-ie

Thanks Hun - only 3lbs from my Club 10 and ONLY 7lbs to get in the 15s (this is challenge I have set myself for my hols in 4 weeks)

OMG how many glasses if 4.2 ltrs? that's over 2 full size Diet Coke bottles isn't it?

Sounds like a fab plan Sammy - good luck xxx

Start from yesterday/today - squash is okay too

My first pint consumed this morning - already had more to drink this morning than I do on a usual day lol

OMG!! How on earth have you managed a pint already I have only done one mug of boiling water and lemon juice....running to kettle xx

I literally stood there by the sink and didn't move till I chugged it lol!

Gonna try for another half pint before I was out shopping and take a bottle of water with me to finish while I'm out

I hope they have toilets where I'm going lol!

Do you want to borrow Noah's potty? :8855:

Ooh do you have the recipe perhaps? Am going shopping in a bit (hope you're online) to get ingredients and a few other bits I need. I am so pleased mexican refried beans are free I might have to make a place for them in there somewhere (A mexican lasagne?!?!?!? - we'll see). Well, Ems did say to try something different, lol. x

This is the recipe I used, but substituted cannelloni for lasagne sheets

Baked Bean Cannelloni Syn Free on Green (If using the cheese as Healthy Extra)
10 Cannelloni tubes
1 tin of baked beans
half a tin of chopped tomatoes
42g low fat cheddar cheese
1 onion
2 garlic cloves
half a red pepper
a handful of mushrooms
paprika
black pepper


cook the onions, peppers, garlic, mushrooms in a pan until golden brown, add tomatoes and baked beans and season with some paprika and abit of black pepper. Fill the cannelloni tubes with the filling and then spread some of the filling over the tubes. Cook in the oven on gas mark 6 for approx 30 minutes, or until the cannelloni tubes are soft. Add the grated cheese and cook for a further 5 minutes or until bubbling :)
 
Took the test (link above) my daily water intake should be...
116 ounces of water today, or 3.5 litres...

Just measured out 1 litre = 3.5 mugs or 3.5 glasses of water...so I need to drink 12.5 mugs/glasses a day .. is that right? my maths is rubbish!

Glass/Mug measurements:
0.5 litres = 2 (rounded up)
1 litre = 3.5
2 litres = 7
3 litres = 10.5
4 litres = 14
5 litres = 17.5
6 litres = 21

I've only managed 5 so far
 
250ml in a standard cup
500ml in a pint if that's any easier? Most of my mugs at home fit between 300-400ml. My glasses 250-300ml.
That link that Andrea kindly re-posted take with a pinch of salt, like most things on the internet. I drink between 2500 to 4000 a day. The higher end if I have walked far but that's really pushing it as you pee all the time. It's not hard at all to fit in 2 litres. It's only 4 pints or 8 halves ;) I don't drink soda as I think it's the devil. :giggle: If the police use it to clean up RTA's and you can stick a 2p piece in a glass to have it come out all shiney and people throw it down the toilet to clean it.... imagine what's it's doing to your insides. It also bloats you and apparently can make your sugar cravings worse, not to mention the harm it does to your skin. But that's just my opinion ladies on stuff I have read and seen. I have to admit I stick to plain water.

VFL I LOVE YOU - I only managed half the recommended intake from Andrea's link and I was like a flippin teabag all day, spent most of it in and out of the loo

It's only 4 pints or 8 halves = I will be sticking to 4 pints a day, which I managed yesterday

I must admit I was totally addicted to the fizz (not the champers variety sadly) but have managed to wean myself off - thankfully both my kids hate it - just down to the odd class of diet cream soda

right off to cook picnic food - menu is - slow cooked lamb, greek salad, chicken fried rice, watermelon, nectarines, grapes and strawberries - got some crisps and mini doughnuts for the kids

Hi ladies

I'm glad you cleared up the water thingy-ma-Bob as I did the water calculator don't think I could have drank 4 litres a day :) I brought myself a new water bottle yesterday whilst out shopping for me to take to work make sure I'm drinking all day it looks like this (don't laugh :) )
