Fantastic Mariana.

Lunchtime had an unhealthy Beef in Pastry with Oven Chips.

So supper tonight was a very small salad.

Yeah, ate pizza over the weekend and not so healthy with Sunday dinner, yet I was down on the scale this morning.

No complaints here. Of course, though, I don’t eat that way consistently. And eating that way consistently is what piles on the pounds.

Today its back to being healthy again.

Smoked Haddock, boiled potatoes, broccoli, carrots.

Tonight Chicken Soup.

I really don’t know what I’m eating today. The only plans I’ve made are my plans of running around I’m doing later this morning. I need to take some boxes over to the storage unit. Then I’m going to hit the range for a while and do a little bit of shooting. Then I’m going to stop at the market and pick up a few things before heading back home. Finally have a normal week of working. I normally work Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. But lately we’ve been so busy I’m working pretty much every day. But this week I get my usual days off. So far, anyway.

I am, however, going to eat breakfast for once today and the reason I’m doing that is so I’m not starving while I’m out running around. Having a bowl of steel cut oats with red quinoa. The quinoa is already in the oats, it’s really good.

Sounds good to me Linda, I didn’t have the potatoes with my lunch today, not feeling very hungry today for some reason.

For lunch when I got home, I just ate some leftover stuff. Tonight, however, I’m having a pita sandwich with grilled chicken, sauteed peppers and onions and fresh mozzarella cheese.

Small fry-up for me today.

Today for lunch I’m taking leftover baked beans from last night (made my boys bacon cheeseburgers and baked beans for supper) and one of my 45 calorie turkey hot dogs. With loads of onions.

I was feeling very optimistic for my weigh in last night-I knew id done everything right—and i had been drinking a lot more [water] plus walking a lot more–I tried some clothes that were too tight–now they are too big–I also bought some new tops last week–but have to change them tomorrow as I need a smaller size—only to find I had stayed the same !!! It is crazy–the first 2 weeks I lost 9 pound–since then only another 3 and a half pounds–the plus side is im feeling better–clothes fir better, everyone tells me I look better–so I have to settle for that for another week


It’s normal for the weight loss to drop a good amount initially, then slow down. Like when I was at my heaviest and I started restricting calories, the first 30 pounds came off fast. But then I weighed 220 (nearly 16 stone). And I was much younger. Most of the weight was gained during my pregnancy. Then after about 30 pounds, it started to come off more slowly.

Homemade Shepherds Pie today.

Tuna salad and grapes and baby carrots for me today. For lunch, that is.

Roast dinner today with Chicken Breasts.

Today for lunch I’m having a roasted vegetable and quinoa burger (kind of like a Quorn thing, only the brand name is Boca) without the bread. No reason, really, I just don’t need the bun and it’s a favorite thing of mine I used to do, I’d cook the veggie burger, then put sliced onion on top and a slice of tomato, maybe some avocado if I have it hanging around, then drizzle it with a little ketchup. Sounds weird, but it’s basically a meatless ‘hamburger’ without the bread.

With it I’m having roasted sweet potatoes.

I have a guest again for 5 days this week–so still not sure how things will go–i am doing my best this week–today i had cereal, melon and lf fromage frais–lunch time–ryvita crackerbread with a gomnemade crab and mackeral pate with tomatoes–tonight im having chicken cooked in slowcooker with mixed veg and a little rice.

I am a bit flummoxed as i go in cafe nero once a week, while in out shopping, and my friend and i always have a light lunch–so I though id pick the healthiest sounding item on the menu–egg sandwich, and an americano coffee—my treat of the week,as I eat no other bread in the whole week–but I was told its wrong as it contains 18 syns–and im only allowed 15 a day—so i checked out on the website–and egg mayo sandwich is 18 syns–but plain egg, which i have is still 16 syns—I just do not get get it --i find i can get a mozzarrella, cheddar and tomato on toast for 11 syns—so it is making no sense to me right now.

Hmmm
 well, with a sandwich you have two pieces of bread. Egg and mayo will be higher in cals than plain egg, of course, but you still have 2 pieces of bread even with the plain egg. However, with the 2 cheeses and tomato on toast, I’m assuming that’s just one piece of bread, correct? So that will cut back quite a bit on the calorie count, despite the cheese. As long as the thing isn’t loaded with 10 pounds of cheese, of course, lol.

yes, just one slice of bread—i will double check everything again on Thursday when i go into cafe nero.

Meanwhile, im not very optimistic about tonights weigh in—i stayed on plan–but my boyfriend was with me again for 5 days–just did not get out as much as i should have–and way too much tv


Well, maybe you’ll surprise yourself :slight_smile:

I think today for lunch I’ll just have a grilled chicken salad from the pizza place up the road.

We had today:

Fresh Salmon Steak with Boiled Potato, Cauliflower Cheese and friend Garlic Mushrooms, all very tasty.
