Come forward EatBetterers and unite - it's the second happy healthy eating thread!

[fuzzpig]

Here's the previous thread where it all began!

EatBetterers are trying to improve the diets of ourselves and our families. No weighing, restricting, calorie counting etc - just finding joy in nourishing ourselves by making positive changes one step at a time. All welcome! :)

Thanks folks

Will make it my aim to be compassionate today. Couldn't get tesco delivery til late tonight so can't even do laundry and stuff, will be a relaxing day. Since after crying on DH I managed to fall down the stairs! FFS! Am ok but a little sore, no real damage. It was only part way.

Thanks for all the ideas for freezing. I'm going to write a big list and discuss with DH later. Will need to go Tupperware shopping too I think :o

Oh and we need a new thread, who's turn to start it this time? :o

Oh no fuzz - are you OK? Hope so.

I'm ok really just need a gentle day I think. Off to walk DCs to school now, when I come back I might try and sleep (hardly ever do that but didn't sleep well last night) but then will try and do nice gentle things.

Thank you

Sleep is very healing and in the past I've had to sleep a lot when adjusting meds. Hope it helps a bit x

Yes, gentle sustaining things. Be kind to yourself.

Thanks prosecco that sounds lovely

Hope you're feeling better, fuzzpig. I had a very delicious breakfast this morning - sliced banana, drizzled with some rather runny almond butter. It felt very indulgent. Bit of a hiccup on the house-selling front here, but am trying not to let it get me down.

Unfortunately I also seem to have an allergic reaction to something - hives all over me. I had this a few years back and it lasted 4 months! GP and specialist had no idea what was causing it and just told me to keep on taking the Piriton. It eventually went away but I never worked out what I was allergic to. Hope it doesn't last 4 months this time!

Oh blimey holmes, sounds bad. Something you encountered on your run or was it food do you think?

How are you today fuzz? Go on, start the new thread

Still, can't wait to hear more about your 'breakthroughs' , all sounds good.

Dame it is hard not to think like that when someone comments on weight loss, but try and take it in the spirit I'm sure it was intended . Sounds like you are looking good!

I had deliciouslyella's overnight oats and chia seed breakfast with berries, it was indeed delicious. I've also just made energy balls for DH who is about to head to the Alps for a lot of cycling. I did the coconut and tahini ones from Hemsley Hemsley and chocolate and matcha ones too.

Fuzz and Holmes, hope you're having better days today. Hope your house move hiccup is resolving Holmes - we're moving house next week and have a couple of hiccups of our own to clear up too. Fingers crossed all round! We also have to seriously declutter - the new flat is three quarters the size of our current, not particularly large flat, so I won't be concentrating that hard on eating better for the next week or so, although I will try to eat as nourishing lay as possible under the circs. Fuzz, I've been lurking on your other thread, picking up tips for minimalism.

Sleep, I wanted to thank you for the Slow Down Diet recommendation, the book arrived yesterday and looks great. I'm hoping to start following the eight week programme once we've unpacked.

Hi all. Hope you are all having a good weekend.
Notmaisie. I'm decluttering today too. 2 bin bags of clothes, 1 of toys and 1 of rubbish so far today and counting
Off to look for Fuzz's other thread now.

MY TEEN DS JUST ATE BROWN RICE

Dame you really make me laugh! What a breakthrough !

Decluttering here too, we have a big pile for the tip and a big pile for charity. Such a great feeling clearing stuff out! We rent our house out in the holidays which gives a great discipline in not hoarding junk and also getting little jobs done that would otherwise get left for ages. Its a hassle to do it all as well as preparing and packing but so lovely when it's done - just before we leave it looks like a brand new house!

The sea bass sounds delicious Proseccoco

MMm that sea bass sounds lovely proseccoco. I've had a few nice meals this week in amongst the crap. Travelling with work one day so ate a lot of rubbish that day and a busy week in general but did have Gok's ginger chicken one night and one late shift at work and a lovely prawn and veg stirfry last night.

Also made lunch out of bits that were floating about before I'd shopped with a cous cous and chickpea salad with an oil, lemon juice, ginger, cumin and coriander dressing. Lovely!

Hope you're feeling a bit better fuzz. Take it easy.

Some lovely sounding meals here!

I can heartily recommend Moroccan chicken from the Hemsley sisters book - tasty and nourishing and delicious. Yum.

Making their sea bream teriyaki for the fourth time tomorrow too...

Is anyone doing a new thread ? Shall I start one ?

Oh sorry, just read back and fuzz is going to start one !

Nah your turn Dame :o

(Super simple lunch today - grilled halloumi, blanched asparagus and tenderstem broccoli, avocado - YUM - really soothed me :))

Yum, that sounds lovely fuzz ! I have fish pie in the oven mmmmmm!

I'll start a thread but not sure I can link to this one as I'm getting used to a new tablet and it's driving me demented, so someone else might have to do a fancy link

OK, new thread up and running

new thread here - phew, just squeezed in there!
