Chiefs Randalling on to svelteness

[Lizzylou]

Hola.
Thought we needed a new thread
Last day at work for me

Well done Bssh on only gaining 1lb holiday weight, am hoping to emulate this!

Speak for yourself Tea

I'll have you know I am a paragon of dieting virtue and did not, repeat, did not use my 500 fast-day calories on a delicious blue cheese & caramelised onion sausage roll.

(Disclaimer: I had an orange too. No scurvy for me)

Randall I see your point. I did not have gin with my 500 calories yesterday but I too will avoid scurvy. It had cucumber in

Mmmmm blue cheese

I did spot that, respek dude

The sausage roll was amazing. It was from my favourite deli in Llangollen. A big, fat, handmade one with Shropshire blue cheese. Drooooool!

Sausage rolls, blue cheese, gin... mmmmm, thank God it's not a fast day today.

Mrsb agree with the other Chiefs that a loss is a loss, but I can understand your disappointment. Just don't let this ahem "setback" (it's so not a setback but I'm putting myself in your head) derail you.

Still plodding on here, Hungarian Beef Stew for dinner with rice. Slightly over for sugar and Protein again today (what's new?) I did have a lovely slice of Vicky sponge at baby group though.

Beef stew... now I haven't had that in a long while. My use the excuse that it's now October to root out my winter recipes.

It's actually a Goulash... I'm not sure there's a lot of different tbh.

I may go on holiday to Llangollen. That sounds lovely.

Mmmmmm. Beef stew.

To be honest, the apple I've just eaten was not enough. I would like more Mexicana cheese and a blue cheese sausage roll

Today's fast consisted of fish & chips.

I wish I liked stew. It's so healthy and so convenient to make but the problem is it mings so hard I just can't do it.

Now mexicana cheese in the other hand..........

Did you have full fat milk in your tea?

See? I don't even drink tea!
It's a conundrum that's what it is.

You're right. A complete mystery.

perhaps you are the next stage in the evolutionary journey of mankind?

Which might mean that I am too.

Ooh, I like that!

Ooh, re beef stew. Honestly google jools favourite beef stew. ( you know ,, Jamie's mrs) . It's awesome. The butternut squash just melts into the sauce. It's sooooo not like one of those grey slow cooker horrors.
randall that sausage roll has me fantasising....
tea gin is v v v bargainous on calories, it's like just a bite of a biscuit innit [ grin]

Duh. Smiley fail

Was doing really well today - even had enough WW points for the red wine I had with dinner. But then DH suggested a trip to the pub as MIL had come to stay and 11 WW points later I realise this could be a long week until she goes home (hmm)

Grey slow cooker stew?! Not in this house, I cook most nights (days) in the sc and I've never had anything grey. The stew was lovely. I do like Jools' favourite stew though.

Tomorrow is a minced beef Wellington, mash and veg.

Diets suck so hard, I have a large bag of Christmas confectionary that I could be nomming right now.

tits I can't seem to get stews right in my sc, what's the secret? Really like hams and brisket etc, but when I try and do stew it's always bleak. Actually I think I use too much liquid... Will maybe retry as love the smell when you have been out all day and come in and dinners done!

There's far too much talk of yummy food on this thread. I love dieting .

I don't use liquid in the sc for anything really unless it's a splash of ale or wine, I just put meat, veg, sprinkle with flour and herbs add a tin of toms and a meat stock pot, couple of bay leaves and turn it onto low all day, the juices from the veg and meat top up the tomatoes to make a lovely thick sauce.

All going well here today, I think I feel thinner if that makes sense? Planned out my day food wise.

I've started thinking about the C word and making pickles, chutneys and spiced alcohol.

Phew, the fasting worked. Only 0.2lb up on last weeks surprise loss so I'm more than happy with that.

Off to scoff a bacon butty!

Ladies I'm logging on MFP again - just for a while to check I'm not overeating my TDEE on non-fast days (I'm 5:2ing). Open diary so that I'm fully accountable. I'm Bssh on there so feel free to add me :)

Bssh I'll add you on MFP - I need all the telling off support I can get.
Randall I'm heading North tomorrow as DP is working in Deeside and I'm tagging along for the weekend as its the only chance we get to see each other Just wondering where I can go for some decent shopping? Should I check out aforementioned deli in Llangollen (or maybe not for the sake of my waistline!)? Or would Chester be better?

I have to go out for lunch today, it's my Nan's 93rd birthday, then tonight I'm at the cinema... I'm still deciding wether or not to write today off.
I did however manage to say "no thank you" when DP tried to buy me cinnamon buns at Tesco yesterday, that my friends took some willpower.

Despite years in the northwest I did not realise there was a Deeside in Wales! Every day is a school day! Chester is lovely Happy and Liverpool is worth a waft around. Depends what you're after. I love both cities for shopping with history thrown in.

Tits Could you go for salad or a high protein meal at Granny's birthday so you can have cake? Or ignore the cinema temptations? Or low calorie tomorrow to compensate? Or do an extra 30 mins moving about today? Oooooo so many ways to offset the cake

Great work Randall

See you on MFP Bssh

'twas my wedding anniversary yesterday. I have a wee hangover
