Hello!

Just got home after a long day at work and college with hardly any food!

Breakfast: Special K and coffee
Lunch (at 2pm): roasted vegetables and tom sauce, cup of coffee
dinner (10pm): Bowl of shreddies and milk

Off to bed before I raid the cupboards!

BeetrootMNRoyalty · 07/11/2007 07:57

Back again..

yesterday was a long long day but managed to stay in-control

banana
flapjack/apple
tuna salad and some wine.

did 20 mins on the cross trainer infront of Spooks.

Weighed myself this morning and have so far lost 4 pounds - just cutting out the crap is really working.

so now have 7 to lose by ...Saturday - I am not going to do it am I!

BeetrootMNRoyalty · 07/11/2007 07:59

I am trying to eat NO WHEAT - sort of helps ot stop the lunch time sandwiches/biscuits etc

katybump · 07/11/2007 08:40

going to the trafford centre today . hope i can resist the food!
had weetabix and skimmed milk for breakfast and am feeling really positive again

keep going katybumpers .....shake those pom poms x

BeetrootMNRoyalty · 07/11/2007 09:50

good luck with resisting - a skinny latte is fine or as Glitterfairy has a soya decaf latte with a double shot of sugar free vanilla stuff

BeetrootMNRoyalty · 07/11/2007 09:51

0 fat greek yog with oats of dorset museli sprinkled on top, raspberries and maple syrup

and 7 pound slimmer

susiecutiebananas · 07/11/2007 20:12

well helooooooo there everyone

I am bereft of DH. he has gone back to work today. I'm not coping too well with Dd, but we'll find our way again somehow. I miss being looked after and having my dinner and cups of teas being brought to me....

today, I had to finish off the doughnuts that Dh kindly left for me. so really back to the diet tomorrow, without fail. I have a spare tyre on my spare tyre now... so time to get strict!

hope you are all well?
you all seem to be doing VERY well indeed, well done girls

All I need now, is someone to come round everyday and cook me healthy food!

pollywollybauble · 07/11/2007 20:53

evening all!

beetroot, did i miss why you want to lose so much by saturday??

welcome back susiec, hope you are not too uncomfortable.

Mrs SS, markstretch and all, where have you gone?

i'm only feeling middlingly motivated today and have cracked this eve ....so have come on to keep my fingers busy....maybe i need a clothes window shop katyb...or maybe i need to read my earlier posts

brekkie...fruit and fibre
mids..cappuccino
lunch...low fat cream cheese sarnie and salad.grapes.
mids...bag of crisps
eve..salmon,baked potato, carrots, leeks and a bit of cauli cheese. apple

just...2 butterscotch biscuits (do NOT buy these....it is like having chocolate-covered cocaine in your cupboards) halva, chocca mocha drink

and now i feel a bit sick....that'll learn me (as they say around here)

susiecutiebananas · 07/11/2007 21:01

well, i've just had 2 magnums I had one earlier, and then there was one, looking SO lonely in the box, I had to eat it....

I will not be buying those biccies then. although, i do still have half a packet of those bourbon biscuits that i had a few weeks back. they will not suffer, i promise.. i'll do it quickly and painlessly for them. probably, in 2 mouthfuls!

I think i will have a very very early night to stop me eating anymore today though. I am extremely tired, and sore more than anything. So will do me good.

if not on again later, I'll catch you guys tomorrow sometime. keep it going every one. I've stayed the same again btw

take care.

tangarine · 07/11/2007 21:03

Loveangel please can I have your butternut squash and chickpea recipe? Sounds lovely and I have a butternut squash to use up tomorrow.

Today:

Special K and milk, coffee
Roasted veg and tom sauce, grapes, coffee
Chicken leek and mushroom pie (mash and sweet potato topping instead of pastry), peas
Lots of water

tangarine · 07/11/2007 21:04

susie!

2 magnums! the height of naughtiness!

Sorry to hear you are so sore. Hope you get a good night's sleep.

spottyshoes · 07/11/2007 21:08

Mmmm magnums, we only have fruitpastile lollies in which dont have the same appeal!!!

We are moving out soon so dh gutted our kitchen today while I was at exercise class so has chucked out practically everything! Meaning all the snacky stuff which I suppose is a good thing. He even found some nutmeg that was out of date in 2003 - didnt have it in me to tell him I had actually been using it I'm so bad at checking dates!

So all I have left to nibble is my sugar free banana bread (made with out of date nutmeg ), will add a slice to today's menu i think.

spottyshoes · 07/11/2007 21:10

I'll second that loveangel, sounds lovely. My butternut squash has dibs on it for a lentil dahl tomorrow night but need an idea for next week's....

pollywollybauble · 07/11/2007 21:12

susie.....you must cause the biscuits pain or they will bring their friends round!
get little cutie to sit and wriggle on them and crush them to smithereens....that will teach them!

I would do something similar to mine but dh also likes them....and he is one of these annoying people who just eats one bikkie every now and again...i might have to get the crap put up out of my reach...

tangarine · 07/11/2007 22:01

oooh spottyshoes your dahl sounds nice too - any chance of the recipe? D is going out so I can eat stuff he doesn't like

spottyshoes · 07/11/2007 22:11

Erm I dont actually have the recipe for quantities but it goes something like

Brown onions & garlic, add cooked lentil and roast BNSquash and add curry powder and whatever spices like cumin/corriander you like. Sorry it's not more specific but i'm just going to lob everything in

LoveAngel · 07/11/2007 23:06

Tangarine - it is absolutely piss easy (scooz language). My Morrocan friend taught it to me and it has become a fave of mine. You can do it wihtout the butternut squash and it's just as yummy, or add chicken or lamb if you like.

This recipe serves 4-6

Boil, bake or steam some chunks of peeled butternut squash (doesn't matter how you cook it).

Dice 1 onion and soften in a bit of olive oil in a big saucepan.

Add 1 heaped tablespoon of cumin powder, 1 heaped tablespoon of cinnamon & 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds (sounds like a lot of spice, but the dish relies on this, so don't scrimp). Mix around rapidly, coating the onion in all the spices (don't have the heat too high or the spices will burn and taste bitter). If you were going to add meat, add it now and brown/seal in juices befote the next stage

Add 2 cans of drained chickpeas, 2 cans chopped tomatoes, a big handful of sultanas, the cooked butternut squash, a cinnamon stick and a bay leaf, plus about a cup of water.

Stick the lid on the saucepan, bring to the boil and simmer for about 30 mins (longer if you add meat).

Good with cous cous, rice or just salad, and very low fat.
