You need some free foods to snack on. I'm not a big fruit fan but do red days mainly so have cooked meats as snacks, ham, etc

Hi Doreen! We had an away day yesterday, so I didn't have a minute. We went up to Wensleydale for the day and visited Middleham and Bolton Castles. I have a book on British castles and I'm determined to visit them all, It's my bucket list lol. We're a bit stuck now with not been able to go far because of my cats medication, so we're trying to visit the ones we can do in quick trips. It's a beautiful area, I could have happily stayed a week. The diet went to the dogs, but I'm back at it today. I'll check out your diary in a minute x

Glad you had a good day Mandy. I liked castles when I was little My Dad always made them seem so majical. The only one that comes to mind at the moment is Windsor Castle.

 

[NotsofattyPatty]

I haven't been to Windsor Castle for years! It is lovely and I prefer to visit something that'is lived in; I'm really not keen on 'piles of stones'! Having said that, we toured many of the castles in the area - Middleham, Bolton, Richmond, Helmsley amongst others - when DD had a castles project to do at school and because we had to look for details they were quite interesting! As you say Mandy, the countryside is lovely and well worth a visit.

I'm sorry to hear about your cat. I'm a big cat person but OH won't let me have one because we live in a flat.

Good luck with the damage limitation.

 

[Clapper&Ham]

Damage limitation crashed and burned - 2lbs on!
The last couple of days I've been desperately craving bread and butter and I succumbed last night. It was truly wonderful
Back on the wagon now...

Mmm yum bread and butter!

2lbs is nothing in the grand scheme of things, you'll soon have it off x

 

[Nanny Doreen]

See my thread about weight and eating too much.

Hope you get it off next week Mandy.

[NotsofattyPatty]

Tut tut!

Sometimes when you crave something, you've just gotta have it - and I bet it was gorgeous. I won't ask too many questions about it incase the replies have everyone reading craving the same!

Done and dusted, Mandy. A few days back on plan and you'll have those pesky pounds off again.

Friday 27th September

It's a beautiful day here in Leeds, and I'm feeling on good form (apart from a bunged up left nostril which is driving me potty)!
I've definitely got that 'Friday feeling' and I can't wait to get out of my office and home, even if there is ironing waiting for me.

Breakfast - Apple juice, oats and vanilla yogurt, tinned peaches

Lunch - Ham sandwich on pumpkin seed bread (OMG! So good after all those JP's)

Dinner - Spicy bolognese with tagliatelle, garlic bread

Snack - aero mousse

MFP - 1230/1200

 

[b_44]

Hope work is going, or has gone, quickly! Im finished for the weekend now too yay.

Ohh how come you're giving calorie counting a go? Are you enjoying it? X

 

[NotsofattyPatty]

Traitor!!!!!!

Seriously though, you've got to find a diet that suits you and if calorie counting is the way for you then that's the way to go. The pumpkin seed bread sounds delicious.

Enjoy the weekend and good luck with the calories!

 

[Clapper&Ham]

Lol
I'm having a change, I seemed to have got into a rutt of eating variations of potatoes, beans and eggs, and while I was rarely hungry I'm not sure it was healthy. At the moment I'm enjoying it, but I dare say I'll be back to sw when I need a pile of stodge!!
YAAY it's the weekend
