Hi carrieann, how long were you in the well? think I may have met you down there – haha! – let’s see if we can keep on track from now – after all summer is looming – time to get the legs out!! I don’t think that a scrape with the razor is going to cut if for me this year – serious weight loss required before I roll up these trousers!!
Hi Kirsty, lovely to 'see' you again – how’s is going up in bonny Scotland? – are you at target yet? I’m going to find everyone’s diaries and have a good catch up as soon as I can. Looking forward to having a good gander at your past few months, food and piccies - always a great source of inspiration x
Jane, I am so sorry about your mum – such sad news, not surprised you put this to one side, it’s tough enough keeping mind and soul together at such awful times, hope your mum had a peaceful end and that you are all finding a way forward. My dad died a couple of years ago (mum died 13 years before him) it was almost unbearable living away from home at the time, I still miss him dearly especially at holiday times when we would normally be bringing him to Austria to spend weeks with us. Time is a healer but it is still so hard while the days, weeks and months pass by. My heart is with you xx
Well the weekend was OK for me – didn’t have the beef rending on Saturday as I was still full from the maahoosive grill platter at lunchtime so just had some fruit and a glass of wine
Sunday was good,
Breakfast: eggs on brown bread with tomatoes (some things just don’t change)
Lunch: pasta with tomatoes, onion, basil and balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp parmesan cheese 0 1.5 syns
Dinner: Beef Rendang, rice and green beans
SW style trifle 4 syns
Today I am back in the office, but it’s a short week for us (bank holiday on Thursday and I’m taking a personal leave day on Friday - 4 day weekend - woohoo) so I’m not too ‘Monday morning’ if you know what I mean.
Breakfast: bread roll with ham (no superfree there - oops)
Lunch: Have brought a prawn and egg salad (2 syns for the dressing)
Raspberries and blueberries with vanilla yogurt, corny bar (3 syns if eaten) and also a mini babybel light (2syns or part HEA depending on how much tea I get through!)
Dinner is hopefully – steak chips and ratatouille – OH back at the cooker, having had the weekend off, we’ll see if he performs as planned LOL!
So still brought a fair amount of grub to work but it is substantially less than last week – managed to get it all into my oversized handbag – improvement again as last week I had a separate ‘food’ bag with me!! Desperate isn’t it?? Hoping to get into some kind of better routine with this
So that’s the end of a long rambling diary entry from me – have a fab Monday xx
