Em's diary

[Emmma]

Jo - i'm not an early morning eater, so breakfast doesn't usually make an appearance till 10am, and by then a couple of muffins are perfect to keep me going till lunch.

Anja - thanks so much for your for your comments. I almost feel bad reading how some on here are struggling a bit while I'm still finding it so easy and the weight is still falling off faster than I expect it to.

Managed pretty well today in all - was a 12 hour day in the end, so am pretty knackered and will definitely sleep well tonight!

B: 2 muffins (and gallons of coffee after an ungodly early start)
L: About 10 cold meatballs (mint & rosemary) & about 100g roast chicken
D: Half roast chicken frittata, sf jelly
S: 3 muffins, pack of beef jerky

How nice are you?!

<Must admit that I've never felt bad, par for the course for a Chief Witch!>

I have picked up a bug at work, so as well as catching up from last weekend and having to contend with an extra long day on wednesday I am now also officially under the weather. Sorry for not checking in yesterday really, but I didn't stay up long last night and wasn't really fit for anything.

So for yesterday:
B: 2 muffins
L: Half roast chicken frittata, vanilla muller light
D: Turkey meatloaf (3 short slices), 1/4 roast butternut squash, sf jelly
S: Rest of muffins

I'll be back later on for catching up on everyone's news - just need to get today out of the way and done. Been a loooooong week!

Poor Em. Hope you're able to rest up over the weekend. Get better soon, pet.

 

[scrumper]

hope you feel better soon xxx

 

[m-mouse]

Sorry you're under the weather Em - hope you are feeling better soon.

 

[Maintainer]

Take care of yourself Emma

[jaqys]

Feel better fast.

 

[Emmma]

Ah you guys! Thanks very much, and don't worry - I won't let it knock me off the diet, I'm sure a good nights sleep tonight will do the trick

 

[anjuschka]

Have a good weekend rest - I know that's what I will do, I've been fighting the cold bug that my kids had all week too.

And never feel guilty for being successful with your diet :-D

 

[Emmma]

Cheers anja, will do. Dress down today so got to wear my skinny jeans finally!

B: 2 muffins
L: 2 slices smoked salmon, 8 meatballs, 1/4 butternut squash
D: ginger chilli lime chicken (1 breast) with broccoli and green beans, sf jelly
S: 3 muffins

How on earth do you split your muffins? If I am at home as I have been this week mine are all gone within about 10 minutes of coming out of the oven!

 

[Emmma]

It's easy really - all in one go would be too much for me - I could probably have a good go at eating them all at once, but I think I'd be too full after.

I just take 3 to work with me, then make sure i have a drink when i eat them. 2 with a drink fills me up for breakfast, and then one is perfect for an afternoon snack with a cup of tea then the rest for pudding in the evening. I love having something cakey to look forward to in the evening...

 

[m-mouse]

I adore my muffins too - they just seem so naughty. I am liking the gojis in them and on my next PV day thought I might make some carrot cake ones.

 

[Emmma]

Not managed to track any gojis down yet but they're definitely on my list. Mmm, berry muffins!

 

[littlebird1967]

I found some today in holland & Barrett - just under £3 for a small bag. Will try them in the muffins

 

[Emmma]

Been a lovely lazy day today, and have tended to graze rather than have any proper meals thus far. So far today i've eaten:

3 muffins, 1 sf jelly, 1 fillet smoked mackerel, pack of beef jerky.

D: Sirloin steak with celeriac chips, asaparagus & some kind of steak sauce made with quark, 2 muffins

 

[Emmma]

OMG - celeriac chips have just made my weekend! Anyone that's not tried them yet get on the case.

No chips since November - these are awesome

 

[m-mouse]

Celeriabc chips are my fave - Vicky got me on them! I have also done them with swede and turnip! After no potatoes, they taste amazing!
