Thank you, @IJumpedAboardAPirateShip, I'm in Melbourne so we've been locked down forever and sometimes eating and drinking feels like the only fun thing we're allowed to do.

Blimey this thread is truly International! Binky The good thing about enforced low grade socialisation is that I have more time to cook properly! The only problem is that the freezer is full!

B. Pear\pear juice\linseeds\lemon smoothie
L.Warm carrot/celery/herb salad with spelt toast
S. Rude health rye oaty crackers with yeast spread\olive oil and cucumber.

I’m def getting the cabin fever feelings back again as well. There’s been no change for us at all since April, we did a few trips away within the state over the summer but I really want to get a little van and disappear for a weekend again

I'm sure I enjoyed our meal out on Saturday more because we haven't done going out, apart from two v short trips. @ppeatfruit not Brighton, Southampton outskirts

L: lentil and butternut bake with broccoli

Thanks PartTime Yes it's interesting how our mentalities are changing, how much more we enjoy just going shopping etc. and the garden. We've been spoiled. Though I do have to cross the channel to dmums some time soon.We're discussing how atm. I will have to quarantine there.

B.remains of smoothie.

@ppeatfruit did you do audio or book or both for Paul McKenna? I don’t need to lose weight (I’d love to shift 5lbs but am at 21 BMI and healthy size 8-10) but aware my binging can get out of control and the older I get the more this will become a problem so wondering if it’s worth trying it to help with that

@IJumpedAboardAPirateShip no judgement here. I thought that was our only rule!

Yesterday was
B/L: big bowl of porridge with sultanas, soya milk, seeds and Demerara
D: black bean enchiladas, avocado, artichoke hearts, beetroot and Mexican Sweetcorn

IJumped Yes P.M. helps with emotional\overeating issues, I got the cds and there are DVDs and the book! Oh and apps too of course.

Though I do still overeat when something is sooo delicious (esp. if I've made it (it's human IME and O) !!! You just go back to eating slowly when you're hungry (stopping when you're full) the next day or week !!!

B. leftover smoothie.
L. HM Leek , shallot\ spelt pie
S. Grated fried courgette and carrots with leftover leek pie.
Some vegan chocolate truffles with inulin (anyone heard of it? a 'healthy' sweetener which gave me wind (sorry tmi )

I won't bore you with the last few days which was basically fruit, handfuls of nuts and the odd bowl of cereal.

Back in the swing today:
L: air fried popcorn tempeh with stir fried veg and peanuts
S: carrots with red pesto, banana
D: protein shake

Thanks @PartTimeDomesticGoddess 😘 and thanks @ppeatfruit just trying to work out whether to do the app or the book - it doesn’t seem to be available as an audiobook only cds, who has a CD player that’s not in their car these days?!?

Not heard of inulin?

I think I may have heard of it but I'm not sure in what context.

Ref. the apps I'm not a tecchie so I got the book and the cds. Do you not own a music centre? That's showing my age that plays nearly everything?

Lol @ppeatfruit nope! I literally don’t play music or films on anything tangible anymore (books is a whole other story however)

Please help me find sausages! We bought great vegan ones from Sainsbury’s and can’t remember the make (not quorn or Linda mc). What’s your favourite brand? They were really yummy and I can’t remember their name at all
