ProPoints Hannah's not sure what she's doing anymore...

Homegrown British Strawberries are definitely the tastiest too! Which Flavour G&B will you be having? X

 

[the_last_time]

I'm not sure yet....I've quite a selection! They were on offer at Waitrose recently, about £2 off for the pack

Thursday

B: banana & yoghurt (176)
L: butternut squash soup, ham & leftover new potato salad, apple (387)
S: crudités & beetroot houmous, melon (146)
D: linguine carbonara made with light philly & veggies, jelly, strawbs & mini g&b (711)

Total: 1420

Shred level 2 - still way hard!!!

Got very little work done today but have made a start on getting the house ready for guests, so that's something plus put stuff in freecycle & eBay, so fingers crossed it shifts!

While on that topic & I'm hoping this doesn't break any rules - let me know if it does & I'll edit the post! I have tickets to sell but I want to sell them at face value so don't want to sell them on a site I need to pay commission....any ideas??

Aah that's a tricky one, I tried with my friends & one of them replied as interested. As lovely as she is, she's not even local to the event & has a history of being unreliable, so I said they'd gone already - so I've closed that door!!

Yes homemade houmous - I didn't have tahini so it was just chickpeas & boiled beetroot with some random herbs from the store cupboard! I now have tahini so will make the proper stuff in various flavours from now

I have to amend my totals for today as I maybe had 2 mini bars, almond & plain 70%, at only 84 cals each, it only puts my total up to 1504

I took a photo of my pork pepperonta from yesterday & my lunch & totally forgot to post then, so here goes. I feel I'm missing colour in my thread

Food looks fab. And very colourful.
Will def have to try making beetroot hummus. Yum

Your thread is definitely not lacking colour now hun, that's for sure, that food looks yummy

Hope you manage to sell your tickets xx

Great news on the 1lb loss, especially after a good weekend away with friends Food pictures look gorgeous and colourful. Rather fancying BNS soup today myself given the rain and yours looks scrummy. Wondering whether I have enough time to make some for lunch...

Good that you are feeling more in control of chocolate scoffing. I always think of myself as someone that doesn't eat chocolate that much but when I look back over my food diary there is a couple of squares of dark chocolate that feature at least every other day so maybe I am fooling myself! And there has been the odd penguin this week too.

I am not entirely sure exactly how it works and whether there are any fees but have you heard of "depop"? Its a selling app for your phone that several of my friends use.

Hey Hannah, I was wondering where you had got to again!

This place can be addictive. Keeping up with diaries can be like a full time job too

Good luck with your job applications.

Pop in when you can!

Bfn xx

 

[Atomic pink]

Good luck with the jobs. Hope something comes from it

Where you been? I was wondering the other day how you've been getting on! xx

 

[the_last_time]

Well...it was all good until I went on holiday in October... I was away for 2 weeks & been back for 4 with visitors/visits every weekend & the weekend coming :-/ Needless to say weight loss or maintenance even has been off the cards!! Trying a low calorie day tomorrow & hopefully Wednesday, a bit if a detox but not too intense, mainly to reduce cravings & just reduce what I'm eating each day... We shall see!!

 

[Sammyanth]

It will be hard getting back on it but you'll do it and I bet you'll get a brilliant loss in the first week too!

We had a weeks hol in October and put a few lbs on then lost 4.5lbs in a week straight after.

How are you doing with exercise?

 

[the_last_time]

I've friends visiting this weekend so I'm not too hopeful & today was an annual leave day - I've eaten like a PIG!!!

Exercise again going well pre-hols non existence since!! Had my best running times & everything! Plan on rejoining the gym this/next week - I can do it!!

 

[Sammyanth]

Yes, you can xx

 

[the_last_time]

So I'm back in the game...sort of! I'm trying to have few clean calories today & tomorrow to kick start myself & cleanse myself of my chocolate/bread/wine/everything addiction!!

Breakfast (334 calories):
Juice based smoothie
Fruit & plain yoghurt (full fat)

Lunch (361 calories):
Lentil & carrot soup
Green salad with balsamic
2 multigrain ryvita
Graze punnet Mumbai masala

Snack (93 calories):
A handful of grapes, small satsuma & dollop of houmous

Dinner (309 calories):
LOADS of veggies stir fried in a little oil, soy sauce & lots of spicy niceness with a slab of cod loin on top

Snack (111 calories):
Needed to eat something else as I don't want to go below 1200 calories (mfp recommendation). I didn't want fruit/veg again so opted for a jordan fruisli bar. Not ideal but not dreadful!


On the amount of calories subject I am actually contemplating 5:2 but not sure I can do only 500 calories for 2 days a week...plus you can't exercise on fast days, unsurprisingly! Hmmmm...!
