1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic, crushed and chopped
220 ml of chicken stock

1 teaspoon of cumin
1 teaspoon of chilli powder
1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
the juice of half a lemon
2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar
Frylight or Pam spray
Some fresh coriander or cilantro leaves (or dried if you havent got fresh)
few slices of fresh lemon to garnish

Method
Spray a frying pan with Frylight or Pam spray
Brown the chicken, and set aside
Add the onions and fresh garlic and ginger and cook for approx 2 mins, add some more Frylight or Pam spray if needed.
Add the spices and stir fry for a further 1 minute.
Stir in the lemon juice, stock and vinegar.
Add back the chicken pieces, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and cook for approx 20mins until the chicken is tender.
If the sauce dries out too quickly add a little more water.
Top with some coriander and fresh lemon slices
Serve with your choice of side and vegetables

Day 6 - Monday 20 February 2012

Good morning everyone Just a quick pop in as I'm getting ready for work.

Busy day today as I've got a training session in London this afternoon, I've got a red day me thinks so for breakfast I've had porridge and blueberries, lunch is ham sandwhich with fruit, dinner is left over lemon chilli chicken with loads of veg.

Hope everyone has a great day, catch up later Boo xxx

 

[BlondeGem]

Hello! Hope your training session went well today and it wasn't too long a day

 

[boo68]

Hello! Hope your training session went well today and it wasn't too long a day

Hiya BlondeGem got back from my course about 6 this evening, wasn't too bad although the travel in by tube is never nice lol Boo xx

 

[boo68]

What a day! Its been a strange day today but not a bad one, training went well although I hate travelling on the tube but the plan has been ok, so I'm pleased I also walked to work which takes me 30 mins so that was my exercise for the day

Weigh-in tomorrow night and it has been hard over the weekend but I'm really glad I got over it and didn't pig out as I usually do.

I will be soo disappointed if I haven't lost anything.... the trouble with me is I want this weight off now and it aint gonna happen like that so I'll have to get used to it.

I've also got the usual stuff at home which needs sorting out (bills) and could really do with a break from it but unless I win the lottery it aint gonna happen, so thats my day today, I'm a bit down but not too down to realise that I've had a good week on plan, sorry this has been a bit of a downer post but sometimes you just have to write how you feel don't you instead of heading for the bickie tin, hope everyone is having a good evening, catch up soon Boo xx

Don't apologise for posting when you feel down, that's what a diary is for and we are all here to support you

^what she said^

Also I think the important thing is to be realistic with our losses. 1-2lb per week on average is good and healthy. If we expect that much then we won't be disappointed xxx

Day 7 - Tuesday 21 February 2012

O.M.G girlies I've just come back from class and I've lost 8 lb!!!!! Totally shocked and can't get over it, I'm really pleased but still can't believe it! I haven't starved myself I've had big meals and I haven't gone hungry again o.m.g.!!

Right back down to earth now, although I've had a great evening my day has been another drama, seems like there is always a drama in my life or one just round the corner, again to do with money, I can't believe how stretched we are then someone else wants more from us (I'm moaning again ) meh!

Anyhoo, again I'm really pleased with my loss and told the consultant that I don't expect a weight loss next week as this week was very good, she said that I could have a weight loss so I've put myself down for 2lb which would be great. No going overboard with syns tonight, not sure whether I'll go to the gym tomorrow or Thursday but will aim for tomorrow.

Feeling a lil down still which is bad because of the great night I've had but hey I can't help it, hope everyone is having a good evening. Catch up soon Boo xx
