lovely day so far - cinema to see Oz with my BFF and our kiddies (hence the hotdog) and then to lunch with hubby (hence the curry and chips - i was hungry!) and now i'm off for a shower and then i'll start prepping dinner (hairy biker's crispy chicken with a baked potato). will post the precious screencaps with today's at some point...

 

[sprytez]

chocolate is dangerous. i was able to stop at one line to start with... but then one line became two, two became three... no more chocolate for me. too tempting.

the quick added calories is the tesco cafe chip-shop chicken curry, it wasn't in the database and i didn't have the patience to add it

 

[donnajt]

my hairy biker's book came today - first recipe I will do is the spanish chicken !

 

[sprytez]

it's gorgeous, nice level of spice to it but without too much heat

tonight we did the bolognese with shredded boiled cabbage instead of pasta and OMFG it totally does work! i'm a convert, i won't have bolognese with pasta again (unless it's someone else making ofc, wouldn't want to be rude). i did MY bolognese though, hence the slight calorie difference.

Chocolate is the devil haha. Really been craving it tonight but resisted the urge so far!

 

[sprytez]

GAH!!!

0.48lb from my next goal. goddamn chocolate.

lamb tagine for dinner

warm chicken and bacon salad with new potatoes.

sunday 17th: (bad cropping job)

roast dinner (veggies only with gravy, no potatoes, and after getting pissed at my mom, no seconds either)

 

[donnajt]

oh the warm chicken and bacon salad sounds amazing

didn't get to do the chorizo chicken - bloody freezer broke down so having to cook up things as they are defrosting

 

[sprytez]

i would usually go "shame, did the ice-cream go first?" but... we're dieting

you can claim on your insurance for the contents, usually - hope it helps you restock!

 

[sprytez]

leftover roast veggies with added microwave frozen ones, a whole one slice of roast pork, and pudding as i had cals to spare.

brekkie was gorgeous btw, well worth the calories.

 

[donnajt]

am def donig the Hairy Bikers Spanish Chicken tonight...can't wait!

 

[donnajt]

Quickie - how many calories did you give to the HB Spanish Chicken? only recipe says 370 but mfp works it out as 473

 

[sprytez]

if you go according to the recipe without changing anything then i'd trust their cal count. after all, MFP allocates calories to my black coffee with sweetener - i think it overestimates sometimes. you can find the HB recipes in the database - that should help?

MIL is here for a week... bye bye diet. hoping for at least a STS on friday and not a gain!

 

[sprytez]

ok, here's the week with MIL:

 

[donnajt]

Hi Sprytez - I am so addicted to the Hairy Bikers Diet book - I did the Lamb, Potato & Spinach curry tonight - it was so good!

 

[sprytez]

we did the cumin veg tonight, but it wasn't as good as last time i did it... think i need to tweak the recipe and use a touch more oil to really get the spices coating all the veggies.
