Morning all. Happy Valentines to all who celebrate it.
@nowlook how sweet! That's the sort of thing I love about working with teenagers. They are often so stubborn and passionate.
@cheeseisthebest and @BustleInYourHedgerow hope today sees you feeling better.
@RagzReturnsRebooted I would do as suggested and get salad plus burger less bun, though to be honest I would possibly rather cook than eat McDonald's, it's always.disappointing to me.
@ouchmyfeet we also had the mousse and it was lovely. I halved the recipe which should have served 2-3 but split it into four small portions and froze two. Hubby though portion was a bit small but was perfect for me.
@SilverStarburst honestly doesn't seem like a lot of food to me. I had homemade slaw yesterday on my salad and hav 2 serving spoons, plus mackerel, bit of cheese and a boiled egg. Try upping a touch.
Yesterday food
B creamy coffee
L massive salad with ma kernel mayo, slaw, goats chess, olives, boiled egg and oil to dress. Kept me going for hours
D-valentines blow out: haloumi with caper mustard dressing, rib eye with celeriac dauphiose and brocoli, chocolate mousse, cheese and half a bottle of sparkling and a couple of brandys. I was stuffed but it was lovely. Husband and I preferred the celeriac dauphiose to potato so that's a win.
However got on the scales this morning and I am 3.5lb up!!! Do have my period too which probably doesn't help.
Lent is on the horizon so thinking of giving up the booze for it. I have hardly drunk this year except for last night. I will def do no sugar, which is only dark choc really. Considering cheese too, but don't want to be miserable! Giving up snacking would probably be most sensible. Anyone else want to do a lent challenge? You can have the thing on a Sunday.
Plan for today. Wait till I am hungry. Might be a long time! Will break the fast probably with boiled egg/mayo in lettuce leaf wraps.
Dinner is bbq brisket, done long and slow by dh on the bbq with smoking chips, salad slaw.
Sorry for the mega post!
