Day 78 - Wednesday 5 September 2012
Ooh its been a while since I've posted I suppose because of the lack of a decent lap top
and being so darn tired from work. Both me and Mr Boo are still going strong and we are both feeling great.
I've gone down a dress size wooo hoo! And you can visibly see that Mr Boo is losing. Can't really add anything else tonight as I'm struggling to keep awake (work is really busy) hope everyone is going strong, I'll be back soon Boo xxx

Day 80 - Friday 7 September 2012
What a day its been today, work has been so hetic this week and today has taken the biscuit! (not literally tho lol) I am absolutely exhausted and its been so hot in the office, its been a real struggle today
Anyhoo, I'm back on green now and looking for some simple but tasty recipes especially for packed lunches and evening meals, heck for any meal really.
Mr Boo is doing well on the plan and we have settled down nicely into the swing of things although Mr Boo hardly ever does green so it means making 2 different meals each night.
Right I'm off to track down some recipes, or if you are reading this and have a recipe you think I might like, please post it here. Have a good weekend everyone Boo xxx

Serves 2
Extra Easy - 1 syn and 1 HEa per serving
Green - 1 syn and 1 HEa per serving
Ingredients
150g of penne pasta (I used the tri-coloured stuff)
1 small onion
1 small courgette
clove of garlic crushed
1 cup of passata
1 cup of chicken stock
2 teaspoons of brown sugar (2 syns) or using sweetener if you prefer
splash of balsamic vinegar
chilli flakes (optional if you like a bit of heat)
3/4 cup of frozen veg (sweetcorn, carrot, pea and green bean mix)
fresh basil, chopped (or dried if you havent got fresh)
1 medium sized tomato, sliced
84g of mozzarella cheese (2xHEa)
Pam Spray or Frylight
Salt and Pepper
Method
Preheat oven to 190c or 380f
Spray a frying pan with Frylight or Pam spray, add the onion, garlic and courgette and cook until softened over a medium heat.
Add the passata, chicken stock, basil, balsamic vinegar, sugar and sprinkling of chilli flakes. Bring to the boil and then simmer for approx 10 mins. Add a little more water if needed, if the sauce reduces too much.
In the meantime, add your pasta to a saucepan of hot water and cook till Al Dente (avoid overcooking, you want the pasta to still have a bite to it).
Add the pasta to the sauce, along with the 3/4 cup of frozen veg.
Transfer pasta mix to a oven proof dish.
Top with the slices of tomatoes and mozzarella cheese and season with salt and pepper.
Bake in the oven till cheese has melted and is golden.
Enjoy!!!
And just add a chicken breast on the side of mr boo's portion i love this meal

Day 81 - Saturday 8 September 2012
It's Saturday evening and i'm sitting here at home with my feet up and relaxing, its pure bliss and if it makes me sound old I don't care lol
I've had a really strange week and I've really struggled both emotionally and physically this week and I don't know why. I guess there are a number of reasons why it might not really be one thing but a bit of everything if that makes sense.
One of the reasons why I'm feeling so tired is I've given up taking the car to work I now walk there and back, this mainly through money reasons (parking permit is costing me money!) but a by product of that is that it's exercise and that can't be bad can it?
Also at the begining of the week and up to nearly the end of the working week I've not been really eating that much lunch and I think that is affecting me too, lordy knows why I didn't, might be because I had a big breakfast and I wasn't hungry, but I have rectified that now.
I'm also a bit stressed and worrying about things and I guess that is making me more tired, so all these things put together make for a tired Boo
I need more sleep, less stress and more money!!!! Hahahah good luck with that Boo
Anyhoo on a lighter note, the plan is gone well today and would really like to get into the next stone bracket by time weigh in comes round on Tuesday night, not long for my club 10.
So my aim now is to focus ahead and keep going whatever life decides to throw at me, and honestly its thrown some c@@p at me in the past.
So signing off for now, a slightly depressed but determined Boo xxx
