Eat, Sleep, Weigh, Repeat'

Maybe you should try and plan in some date nights and days out? Sometimes you both need to make a bit of extra effort

I agree with pip...rob and I fell into the habit of being a bit too independent about 12 month ago, so we started having a weekly date night and we also made a 'fun fund' that we both put some money into each month and it's solely spent on things the two of us do together...so if the fun fund builds up then we're clearly not having enough fun together!
Making an effort to have a night away from screens (phones/iPad etc) or compromising on tv choices has also been happening more lately...it takes a little effort but is worth it! xxx

Yeah. I mean we are put tonight with friends but that's not the two of us.

I'm a really tired person. We are both up at 6 and I don't get home till gone 7 pm so by the time I'm home all I want to do is put on my pj's and each the soaps! He hates TV. So he plays his computer in the dining room. We're okay at the weekend in between doing our own thing. But we do need to have more fun definitely!

Tea- we are going to the local for tea so not sure what I will have. I've not seen a menu. But lots of syns on wine!

I've been to the gym today but we only managed 30 minutes! Fail!

Hi Becki hope your well hun. Im sorry ive been awol.
I know what you mean about being together but seperate, we get ourselves in a rutt sometimes. At least with no kids you can get out together if you want. We always have a candlelit dinner once a month where we both dress up and make an effort as if we were going on a date, kids have early night with dvd. All electricals go off except the music. It really keeps the romance alive. I love those nights.

Enjoy your booze fuelled eve. Xx

I made some with oil in the end :/ I'm looking into buying a popcorn maker so I don't need to use oil or butter!

Will definitely get one now! What flavourings do you put on your popcorn?

 

[sweetierufus]

Ah the joy of sambuca!

Air popper sounds fab. Popcorn is great to snack on.

 

[OpalLilyEats]

I like cinnamon, stevia, salt and smoked paprika - not together!

I don't mind it plain either

 

[pippalata]

Are there any syns?

 

[becki2009]

I think there are. I've skimmed online and it's something like 4.5 per so many grams! I'm not sure how much you get though.

I have a really sore tummy tonight. Not sure why. think I will be in bed soon to see if It goes.

 

[becki2009]

Good rainy dark cold Monday morning!!

Brrrrr!

I woke hungry today so grabbed a scan bran and peanut butter before I left the house. And I'm at work and just had two bourbon biscuits! It's not even 8 am!

Breakfast will be two boiled eggs and banana

Lunch- ham salad and yoghurt

Tea- lamb curry/ stew thing that I bunged in the slow cooker this morning.

 

[becki2009]

Just been and bought my 'on the go' blender and a $**t load of fruit and spinach! Fingers crossed it's decent and will stop me eating chocolate bourbons for breakfast!

I also bought a microwaveable bowl with vented lid to see if my popcorn will pop
It was only 99p. It will either be great or set my microwave in flames...
