At goal & now beyond... 5:2 officially rocks!

Scales up 3/4lb but with all the carb bloat in my body it's no surprise at all. Out for lunch with a friend today but only planning a sandwich or jacket spud or something. Might try something new out the HD book tonight possibly chicken cacciatore

I thought the chicken cacciatore looked good too :) I think there are about 6-10 recipes that I can see me using for the whole family.. The rest are nice, but maybe only I like them as they are spicy lol have a good day and if you have any fennel tea or lemon and ginger might help with the bloating.
 
Hmmm why do my lunches out always end up naughty! Fishfinger sandwich & chips!!! Was gonna do the pork recipe for tea with the cider & apples but may not be able to now. Need to work the cals out
 
Ended up not that hungry so tea was a tortilla wrap with smoked salmon in it, lunch filled me right up so even with a naughty lunch I was way under my goal for today. Going to do the pork thing tomorrow instead x
 
First recipe out the new HD book - ginger biccies. Made for my in-laws cos I don't like them lol

It looks dull as all the same colour but it tasted amazing I can assure you. HD pot roast pork with cider & apple, mustard mash leeks & cauli. Am now soooo full though & the kitchen looks like a bomb has exploded. That is the biggest problem with my cooking

Wish it'd looked prettier though, carrots would have made it look better. But can highly recommend it. Sent the other half of the joint & sauce for mum & dad in-laws Sunday lunch as we are out
 
Scales waaaaaay up this morning at 11:4:5 so gonna have to work hard. Not sure why they're so up but they are so there we go. Been spinning this morning which almost killed me. On a sad note looks like my soup maker is broken. It's getting 5 minutes in to the programme & turning itself off. Has a 6 month warranty but it says I have to keep the original paperwork & I don't think I have so may just buy a new one as I love it so much.
 
Hmmmm scales not moving. Yesterday was a 1700ish day with a spinning class. I've woken up with a really sore throat & a headache so really can't decide whether to attempt a fast today or b2b tomorrow & Wednesday. I'm really hungry but that will be cos of too much carb yesterday but I know if I manage my fast I'll be proud of myself
 
You can do it Lexie and it will be much easier than a b2b! I'm fasting too, do it with me :)

Had a chat with hubby & decided I'll have a sensible day but not fast until Wednesday. He asked me "would you rather have a little gain on the scales this week or your cold make you feel pants for a week?" So I decided to listen to wise hubby & am about to get some breakfast!
