I'm not sure I can near to record all of my food for today.
L: pizza and salad at pizza hut buffet
D: risotto. Strawberry ice cream. A chunk of DS's chocolate reindeer . A biscuit .
Oh, and some garlic bread. Because one needs additional carbs with risotto

Forgive me, Revolutionaries, for I have sinned.

Shall we start with Tuesday?

Tuesday:
B – pain au chocolat
L – cheese and cucumber sandwiches
D – mini tapas board followed by salmon with chips
S – 3 cups of tea, 2 large glasses of wine

In my defence, we came home to a power cut so stress levels were high.

Wednesday:
B – pain au chocolat
L – McDonalds – large fries and a hamburger
D – 2 x cheese croquettes (huge), steak and frites. Except I only managed half the steak and 5 chips out of the massive bowl
S – ½ bag of wine gums, 3 small glasses of white wine, 1 full fat coke, ½ bottle red wine.

Thursday:
B – cold meats, cheese, pain au chocolat
L – a snack pack of cathedral city cheddar and branston pickle
D – scampi & chips (deep fat fryer) with peas
S – 1 x low fat bag of crisps, handful of maynards sport mix (man that stuff is hard to chew), 1 x kinder bueno, no alcohol (woohoo!)

Managed no exercise at all, and I spent the majority of Weds and Thurs sat in a car.

9st 5lbs on the scales today. I have a lovely dress I want to wear at the start of next month and at the moment it’ll probably fit but I’ll look horrendous in it so the goal is to somehow work on the stomach (major problem area for me) and ideally get back to 9st. In about 3 weeks. Woe.

Today:
B – pain au chocolat
L – a picky lunch today: 2 hard boiled eggs, handful of cashew nuts with raisins, silverskin onions, a whole yellow pepper (cut, obviously!) and ¼ of a cucumber to eat with some disgusting looking crackers and mayo. I’m strangely looking forward to it!
D – no idea. Bound to be something out the freezer.
S – I have a bag of low fat crisps with me. Going to attempt no alcohol tonight.

I need to exercise as well.

Rubbish day ahead of me – busy and some crap to deal with but I need to just get on with it, pointless having it hanging over me for another week!

Good morning! Glad work went okay Amanda. You will soon get back into the swing of things. :)

Your menu is making me drool Hazel! Steak and frites. Mmmm. [rethinks vegetarian pledge].

Me yesterday - I sinned too.

B- cheerios, 3 cups of coffee with milk
L- Goose fat rended down to make it like crackling. Yuck. Truly grotesque.
D- Linda Macartney vegetrain burger with lots of salad and mayo. (Yum).

wine.

Today

B- cheerios.
L- veg burger again with salad
D- planning on vegetable patties with mashed pots and green beans. Alcohol-free. Has to be, because I have a deadline for a US client of midnight my time.

Thanks for your menu candour hazel I hope Friday was ok.

wellies. How did it come about that you had goose fat crackling? The low-carbers will be after you for their team you know.
I do like a vege burger.

Friday
B: crumpet with jam. Christmas cake. Coffee
L: 2 homemade choc chip cookies. Tea
D: spaghetti bolognaise

Yesterday
B: nothing
L: 2 crumpets. Christmas cake. Tea
D: 1 slice of homemade pizza. Garlic bread. Ready salted crisps
1 small glass of wine. 2 digestive biscuits.

Where is everyone?

I need to eat more veg/ fruit. Going to work on that.

Goose fat crackling is revolting isn't it!!!!! I just sliced the fat off the goose salted it liberally and put it under a hot grill.

My daily plans have gone to pot. On Friday DH got knocked off his bike and was in hospital until today having his shoulder and elbow repaired. He is fine, thank heavens, but I have been in no fit frame of mind to think about food! Yesterday may have involved an Indian takeaway. (All vegetarian though).

Oh wellies sorry about DH. That must have been scary.
Get well soon wellies DH.

I love crackling. But never tried it from goose fat
Now I know not to try.

Thanks Amanda. He has been very cheerful, and determined he was going to start rehabilitation straight away (um, you have pins in your elbow ffs) and then has crashed. Bad night, and laid out on the sofa barely able to stand up. But, could have been a lot worse, so we are thankful for that.

Me today:

B- leftover vegetarian indian (was so yummy)
L- not sure
D= not sure.

wellies I'm so sorry to hear about your DH. I hope he's feeling better soon.

Friday:
B – pain au chocolat
L – a picky lunch today: 2 hard boiled eggs, silverskin onions, a whole yellow pepper (cut, obviously!) and ¼ of a cucumber with crackers and mayo.
D – fresh proscuitto filled ravioli with a homemade tomato and chilli sauce. Surprisingly yum!
S – I caved and had a few glasses of wine

Saturday:
B - bacon and egg
L - 2 half sized sausage rolls (there's no getting away from the fact this was ridiculously naughty!)
D - crab linguine
S - few glasses of wine, G&T

Sunday:
B - American style pancakes with maple syrup (I have my DSIL to thank for my current obsession with these!)
L - none
D - Oxtail stew, mashed potato, chunk of bread to mop up
S - few glasses of wine.

So not great but not awful. Friday really was rubbish and I still kept my head buried firmly in the sand over a few things. Must do these today.

Hiiiiiiii . Sorry, fell off thread. Have lost half a stone since Christmas Day.....Yay... I'm so determined this year and as my clothes are getting looser I'm more and more determined. Shall read back over thread now...Happy New Year to all of us

Wow half a stone Milly!! That is fabulous! Well done!

I have eaten for Britain today. I am stress eating.

B - 3 white coffees. 1/2 a coronation chicken sandwich. 1 packet of pombears. 1 large choc muffin.

L- was planning a tin of veg soup.

D- pasta arrabiata with a green salad.

Wellies......goose fat and vegetarian .... lol.

Hope your husband is feeling a bit better after all his ordeal.....poor man.

Well done milly!

wellies it’s no wonder you’re stressed to be honest, you’ve had a lot going on xx

Yesterday:
B – none
L – couscous with bacon (DHs choice)
D – homemade crabcakes with carrots and kale
S – packet low fat crisps, cucumber, silverskin onions, 3 glasses of wine

I have got to stop drinking. I’m TTC, FFS. I should be taking this seriously. I do have a bit of a defence for last night.

Sorry if this is TMI…Had a smear test yesterday afternoon and if I’m honest, it didn’t go well! The smear itself was fine and apparently my cervix looks fine…but nothing else does. I’ve been advised to see a doctor and get a STI check, which I was planning to do anyway just for peace of mind, even though I’m 100% sure it’d come back clear (but I do like to worry!)

So yes, bit panicked really. I look “sore” apparently and I am a bit, if I’m honest. I also bled after the smear which is unusual for me. Of course I’m now thinking “OMG, what if I’m newly pregnant? This rummaging isn’t going to help” I know this is daft. The nurse was utterly lovely about it all and just said she wanted to make sure everything was in tip top condition before going into a pregnancy.

Sorry, completely off topic but it kept me awake last night!
