@AwkwardSquad Happy birthday (if it’s your birthday today and not somebody else’s that you’re celebrating!)

@bellyislikejelly maintaining is so difficult! I’ve found it so difficult not to fluctuate (usually between 10-11) sometimes go a bit lower, sometimes a bit higher.
You sound like you’re doing a great job though, well done! (I don’t find it boring )
I can’t count calories like that as it gets a bit obsessive for me and I loose too much but different things work for different people

Yesterday:

Breakfast - bran flakes with sultanas

Lunch - cheese on toast x 2 and coffee

Tea - kids portion of cod and chips with curry sauce from the chip shop.

Today:

Breakfast - Brie and prosciutto toasted sandwich

Lunch - some apple and sultana slices and sunflower seeds

Dinner - chicken soup and honey and sunflower seed bread and butter.

Snack - 5 wrapped toffees (didn’t eat the wrappers! )

Fridge freezer arrived today and will be filling it tomorrow! 🎉🎉🎉

B - Grilled bacon , tomatoes and mushrooms and a slice of toast.
L - Salmon sandwich.
D - Faggots, peas and double cooked chips.
Snacks - 2 ginger nuts, half a Twirl.
Copious amounts of tea.

Thanks, onlyhereforthefood and Phycadelcsilhouette, it was indeed my birthday. I had a very nice day

Weird day today food-wise, not organised and no time. During the day I had three peanut butter and cocoa energy balls, a very small apple and a few oatcakes.

Lovely dinner to make up for it - poached salmon with lots of different salads: beetroot and apple, tomato salsa, courgette, red cabbage slaw, potato salad, beetroot chutney.

Now contemplating a couple of birthday chocolates...

B- porridge made with full fat milk & cream. Coffee ☕️

L- 1 Greggs sausage roll, mini Jaffa cakes, chunk of cheese 🧀

D- Will be chicken breast in cream and white wine sauce, wedges, tender stem broccoli 🥦 Glass of nice crisp chilled white wine

@AwkwardSquad glad you had a lovely day (and todays dinner sounds delicious!)
