Fresh start red & green days

[lola86]

Arghh weighed myself this morning and gained 1 pound! So annoying iv stuck to the diet and trained hard, it definately must be the late night snacking.
Going to do a red day today the plan is: fruit, chicken salad, then a roast or omellette later depending on what the family r having. Wanted to lose a pound atleast at weigh in this wk won't weigh again till then... Xxx

Sometimes it is the eating late, it seems to hang around.

`Just a suggestion,` what about breaking you diary down to breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner then evening eating, a bit like I do. Can be seen easier what you are having and when an maybe from that someone may have ideas to help

You obviously have a family to see to whereas I am here on my own unless looking after grandkids and can play on this damn computer all day.

Anyway, see what you think.

PS it is so hard not to weigh at home. Cause I on my own I usually have my breakfast before dressing as usually up early, so it is too late then. Sometimes, usually day before weigh in, I get dressed first so I can have a look.

I had a red day today and really enjoyed it. I have been really looking over my earlier dairies and one of the things I noticed where the red days and the scan bran. I was losing better then. Don`t seem to want so much on a red day.

May have another red one tomorrow and make some BNS and carrot soup.

Sorry about your gain, I am sure I am going to get one in the morning. It is Mcmillan tea day tomorrow so may not stay till the end, there will be lots of cake around and I am due to one that a friend is doing at 11 too.

I`ll let you know how I get on.

Scan bran, I forgot to buy them Friday. Will pop into monday evening class and get some. Not had them for a long time, but was losing quite good when I did.

I would usually have them for lunch. They are pretty dry, but if you buy them do check the sell by date.
I have banana squashed on them and often before I bite a piece drizzle some nat yog on the bit I am going to eat.

I have had ham and tomato and sometimes cheese, but I really prefer them with banana.

They are £1.20 per pack so if you want 5 per day it can get a bit expensive. There are 10 in a pack I mostly have 5 a day but not always, it depends how many I buy. I get paid Sat and my class is Thursday or Friday so am generally a bit short.
I have never made a cake or anything with them nor tasted it. Let me know what you do with yours.

As for the Mcmillan teas, see my diary !!!
