Wednesday 31st July
Breakfast: scrambled eggs on HEXB WW pitta bread, tomatoes, 1/2 nectarine
Lunch: chickpea and sweet potato curry, banana
Dinner: jacket potato, sweetcorn, salad, HEXA cheddar
Snacks: HEXA koko chocolate milk, HEXB ryvita minis, orange, grapes
This looks like loads of food today when it's written down like this.
I really wasn't impressed with the WW pitta bread, even toasted it tasted like cardboard. Might save the rest of the packet to go with hummus or something really flavoursome.
I managed to go swimming today, first time in months I've been able to go on my own (without a two year old in tow!), and I really enjoyed it and managed to swim a mile - totally shattered afterwards though.

Thursday 1st August
Breakfast: HEXB weetabix, HEXA koko chocolate milk, strawberries, banana
Lunch: last of the leftover chickpea and sweet potato curry, apple
Dinner: stuffed pepper with HEXA feta and savoury rice, carrots, cauliflower and broccoli
Snacks: HEXB Special K chewy delight, Americano from Costa, coffee with a splash of milk
I managed to go swimming again tonight (I must be on a roll!) but didn't do many strenuous lengths as I went with a friend of mine who has recently been diagnosed with diabetes and she risks losing her leg so the doctors told her swimming would help. We ended up having a really good time, and a little exercise is better than no exercise I guess. Weigh in is tomorrow, I hope I haven't absorbed all the water and gain weight - lol x

Weigh in this morning and I lost 1.7kg
happy happy today.
I've decided to set myself a challenge this week to have 7 different breakfasts, 7 different lunches and 7 different dinners. It will make me eat more different things, and not have the same lunch three days in a row like I quite often do and then end up bored.
Breakfast: baked beans with HEXB 6 ryvita crackerbread, orange
Lunch: Sainsburys tomato pasta pot (1.5), salad, carrot sticks, tomato, grapes, fat free dressing
Dinner: quorn sausages (2), potato wedges, onion, tomatoes, courgette, orange pepper, carrots, HEXA cheddar
Snacks: HEXA koko chocolate milk, HEXB two allen light bars, grapes, strawberries, quorn ham slices
Looks like I've eaten loads today

Saturday 3rd August
Breakfast: sweet couscous, fat free fromage frais, banana, strawberries
Lunch: scrambled eggs, baked beans, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots
Dinner: so the wedding reception didn't go so well food wise... They had a hog roast, with just salad as the veggie option (?!) so OH and I decided to get a Dominio's on the way home so i ended up eating a whole bl@@dy pizza with teo dips. Plus I ate rather too many canapés, had two glasses of pimms and a glass of champagne. Plus before we left I ended up going a bit nuts and had a total binge, but because I don't keep any cr@p food in the house I ended up eating waaaay too many Alpen light bars and ryvita minis, plus a slice of white bread with butter. So I'm sure now I've totally messed up for a loss this week. But I will draw a line, I'm awake early and childless so I think I will go for a swim and work really hard this week so I can at least either STS or have a small gain. Argh - so annoyed with myself

Can you please let me know how you do your butternut squash soup. I have just tried potato & sweetcorn soup and really like that. I do like bns so should like soup. Thanks.
Hope your Sunday going ok

Hi Doreen,
Yes I really enjoyed it, never made soup before but this was really nice and I got four bowls out of it. I don't know if u have a local farm shop but I've found BNS about a third of the price there than at the supermarket.
This is how I did it but can't say it is an actual 'recipe!'.
2/3 of a butternut squash
1 red onion
1 garlic clove
1 medium potato
3 medium carrots
1 litre vegetable stock
I roughly chopped everything, put it in a sauce pan, fried it off for 5 minutes then added the stock. Let it simmer for 20 mins until its all cooked then use a hand blender to wizz it up.
Really nice with HEXB bread or ryvita

Weigh in is in the morning and I have come to the end of my challenge to eat different meals every day and every mealtime for a week. I wonder if it has had an impact. The Dominio's probably didn't help...

Weighed in this morning and lost 0.9kg. Not bad considering what a right off Saturday night was. As silly as it sounds I can't help but feel disappointed it wasn't 100g more to make a kilo lost. But 0.9 is still 2lb so I know I should be pleased really. Sometimes the journey ahead just seems so huge.
Feeling a bit uninspired with today's plan so it may change...
Breakfast: sweet couscous, fat free fromage frais, blueberries, grapes
Lunch: baked beans on HEXB toast, salad, carrots
Dinner: pasta, tomato sauce, runner beans, sweetcorn, HEXA mozzarella
Snacks: HEXB 6 Brazil nuts, HEXA koko chocolate milk, two cappuccino sachets with SS milk - no idea on syns but I haven't had any others today so I'm really hoping it's ok.

Breakfast: sweet couscous, fat free fromage frais, banana
Lunch: curry loaf, salad, carrots - I was a bit sceptical but it is in the oven now and smells lush - now I've eaten it I can say it was not lush. It was palatable and I will eat the rest of it over the next few days but won't be making it again.
Dinner: jacket potato, sweetcorn, HEXB cheddar, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots
Snacks: HEXA koko chocolate milk, HEXB 20 cashew nuts, Few bits of melon, pineapple and strawberries at a child's birthday party this afternoon

Breakfast: sweet couscous, fat free fromage frais, banana, strawberries
Lunch: the planned scanbran burgers went horribly wrong, the mixture being far too wet to mould into burgers. I ended up tipping it all in a loaf tin and making some disgusting oinion-y loaf thing. Not one to waste food I ate 3/4 of it with salad, carrots and 1.25 HEXB's worth of Brazil nuts
