Some Veggers Are Bigger Than Others - 10/10 porkers thread

[CoupleofKooks]

General healthy eating and exercise thread with aim of losing weight / shaping up. Aim to eat 10 portions of fruit and veg a day, and do more exercise. No bizarre diets please. Weigh in day is Monday (you don't have to weigh in but we will punish you by with-holding stickers). Diet coke will be frowned upon.

i don't like cherries, or almonds really
that is about the only cake that would be safe from my greedy old mouth

cereal melon apple raisins milk seeds = 3.5
apple = 1
egg mayonnaise sandwich
beetroot = 1
2 satsumas = 1
pizzas made out of wholemeal muffins - bizarrely i can score 1 portion for the tomato puree on them
chickpea, lettuce, cucumber, carrot and pepper salad = 1

8.5
ok better

food budgeting going still quite well thanks again for help last week
pizza made from muffins is quite nice and definitely cheap

yes, we like little pizzas made from muffins.

Also pizzas made from those unbaked baguettes. The dds love french bread pizzas and it reminds me of my cosmopolitan findus days.

Sains often sell 2 packs of those baguettes for £1 (2 loaves in a pack) so a v cheap tea. And quite good for f&v if you add tinned toms and red pepper and mushrooms

I agree with avi. I like the cream in cream cakes. I love the texture of it in my mouth.

perv

you know, a muffin
like a crumpet, but no holes
you toast them over a fire
or make pizzas with them, it seems

hope migraine gone v soon
i am stuck on scales due to not exercising either avi
i may go running tonight even though i still have cough thing, it will either kill or cure me

You mean an English breakfast muffin don't your Fra?

I did lol at Pointy's 'The dds love french bread pizzas and it reminds me of my cosmopolitan findus days.' It really made me giggle.

I am not a perv, but I like cream too. Infact I'm a cream fiend given the chance. I knew I liked it rather a lot, but it was when my sil commented that I put cream on my pie in the same quantities that people use custard that I realised I liked it just a bit too much!

yes i suppose i do
i thought a muffin was just a muffin, i didn't know it needed a glossary

cereal pineapple raisins grapes seeds soya milk = 4
banana = 1
quorn rolls
half an orange juice lolly
banana = 1
almonds
pasta, pesto, mozzarella, cheddar, red cabbage, broccoli, carrots = 3
pineapple = 1
brazils and giant chocolate buttons

10, blimey, it seemed like more than 10 to be honest

4 mile run
bit shambly, took 42 mins but i am sure i lost a minute at some traffic lights [geek]

this has been a looooong week
dp took the day off and took the boys out yesterday as i had been so knackered all week
fuck lot of good it has done, i am still knackered
ah well nearly the weekend

Being tired is debilitating (sp?) isn't it? Is it ds2 night time shenanigans that is causing the problem?

I wish I have been weighing myself. I've got a sickness bug and I don't think I can have anything left in me - sorry a bit tmi

Oh, and of course a muffin glossary is necessary

evening lemur, hope you are feeling better soon :(
you poor old thing - is someone looking after you?

i am at the stupid stage of tired now
i was trying to subtract 14 from 38 earlier in my head and i just could not do it
i am so tired i have even forgotten why i am so tired :o
i think it is ds2, some unfortunate early mornings, and a couple of nights of feeling a bit ill. some nights i am knackered and i get into bed and just lie there awake for a few hours
it's like my body thinks "well i know i am not going to get a decent night's rest HERE, so i might as well not bother"
it's very annoying
we are all knackered today as dp got up at 6.20 despite not having to go to london
"why did you get up and wake us all up when we were all tired and fast asleep?"
"i was awake"

yesterday:

cereal fruit seeds raisins milk = 4
jacket potato cheese coleslaw = 2
banana cake
quorn thing bread roll chips red cabbage corn broccoli = 3
coffee ice cream in a cone
pain au chocolat
chocolate

sorry but period has started today so am blaming that
plus cough and cold thing and lack of sleep

hope everyone has nice plans for the weekend
it's raining here again!
we are having a fairly quiet 2 days

hey that was 9 portions, so i didn't do all bad

it's not a full moon, avi, quite the opposite
you and i are in synch again though :)

sorry about back and migraine

i have seen those scarecrow trails and i love bizarre community things like that but i don't actually get what goes on
tell me
who organises them
what did you have to do

yes yes but what do you DO
what are the scarecrows FOR
i don't get it

anyway good morning
are you feeling any better?

yesterday i ate:

cereal fruit seeds raisins soya milk = 4
salad rocket spinach cucumber tomato sun dried tomatoes cheese lentils new potatoes pineapple mayonnaise = 3
pain au chocolat
cauliflower swede pepper onion mushroom chickpea butterbean curry, with almonds, coconut, raisins and rice = 4
chocolate
coffee ice cream with strawberries and banana = 1
apple = 1

hey i am getting the hang of this = 13
stomach still sticky outy but i think i am eating hearty portions

the lentils were these fab ready cooked beluga lentils. ds1 asked me what they were as i was taking them out of the packet and being in a stupid mood i said chocolate. he asked if he could have some and i put some in his mouth. he was chewing and going, mmmmm, chocolate. then slowly you could see light dawning. luckily he liked them i told him they were the poshest lentils in the world and he went round all day murmuring "the poshest lentils in the world" in terms of great awe

oh a good day here
did loads of cooking with BOTH boys and it did not end in disaster
then did 5 mile run, still just under 50 mins

cereal fruit seeds raisins soya milk = 4
oatcake with peanut butter
quorn and salad sandwich
apple pie made by boys, with cream = 1
tofu kebabs, with courgette, pepper, mushroom, made by boys = 3

oh ds2 made the sandwiches! wearing a pirate jacket, a string of beads and a straw hat

Yuuuuuuuum, apple pie. Especially tasty when it has been made by a pirate!!

The stomach is still rather dodgy here, but better. It's getting very boring now. All I've been able to stomach is toast.

lemur that is rough
i hope you are feeling perkier tomorrow
i heard the same thing was going round these parts - we have avoided so far

Hi all, I recognise a few names of old, except for Franny who's changed. Have you all got a new scoring system/
Aviatrix, I glanced through this page and was sorry to see that you are still struggling with Migraines, and gynae problems. My migraines are a bit better, although I still get them unfortunately. Still having all the old problems with pmt, and heavy periods. Still resisting having the MC, just dont' think it's for me.
I am working 22 hours a week now, so have less time for the computer than I used to have, but will try and check in more regularly.
I do miss MN, but find it so addictive, that I find going cold turkey easier than using it moderately
My fruit and veg intake remains about the same, not bad by a lot of people's standards, but could be improved. I am about to try a Dairy diet, apparently it helps you lose weight around your middle. It's basically a low carb diet, which works on the principle that Calcium and Dairy rich diets can help you lose a certain type of fat/ It's got lots of fruit and veg in it as well, as well as lean meat, fish, but very little carbs.
Will try and let you know how I am going with it.
