To ask what you've eaten today...

[Smotheroffive]

...and how much exercise you got?

Very interested to hear what amount and type of food people's daily diet consists of,and whether it's obviously a lot more or less than I eat, or more nutritious or not.

I had a day without exercise so far, total consumption two slices of home-bake bread, a cup large mug of tea, and 2 x that of coffee.

Planning to eat a jacket pot for dinner now, with beans and a little grated cheese. Oh, and an orange for breakfast.

I am a few stone overweight, from Christmas excesses, but steadily losing it. (Not mentally, I mean weight!)

big strong . Sorry and sending un mumsnetty ((hugs)). Well if you wanted to lose weight, you have your silver lining?

Gradiva can you explain benefits of liquid diet? Just struggling with the concept of really so dizzy etc yet its good for you? I do get that it would reset everything though!

You can't count climbing the stairs twice and cleaning the bath as exercise!!

Assignment=No exercise

Currently don't exercise much as I'm working, have a toddler and nearly in the third trimester with #2 so, most I manage is a stroll now and again.

Will have something easy for tea: toast with beans or eggs, or an omelette. Don't feel like anything right now though.
