I love my Red Days :-)

Owwwwww I was posting a big reply and my battery died and it got lost :(

Was just gonna say don't beat yourself up love! It's a pizza it's not like you're eating 3 a day, it won't hurt, you know the drill just balance it back out by having a couple of red days to get rid of carb bloats and you'll be grand.

That's ok too love, you're maintaining now, so just try and balance it all, I bet most of your meals have still been SW friendly. Just be good the next 2/3 and you'll be fine, I'd stay away from EE for a few days tho. Couple of good red days lots of fluids and you'll be great.

Don't worry about the job, if they've let you know they haven't decided you must still be in the running which is def more positive than negative xx
 
The crumpets, hot cross bun loaf, peanuts, chocolate, cake and biscuits were most definitely sw friendly!!! lol

I had my probationary review at work yesterday. They scored my commitment to the company as high, whoops! Even though I don't enjoy the job, I'd feel bad to resign now. They called a big meeting with night staff to make them all change their days so I could work a certain pattern, they're gonna be pretty peed if I leave lol The job is between me and another a&e nurse so who know's. I have a friend on the "inside", might help. Will apparently find out this afternoon. Scared if I get it and gutted if I don't, can't win lol

Your diary has helped me so much with red days this week! even with a day off plan I still managed to lose 2.5lb so thank you very much!
 
That's great! Glad to help. I haven't been very on it lately so should probably have a read of my own diary for inspiration!

Recipe for paella as promised

Frylight 1 onion and 1 red and 1 green pepper until soft. Add crushed garlic, tsp smoked paprika and a little tumeric (or saffron). Add roughly chopped tomatoes (i used 2 large vine tomatoes) and 600mls veg stock, season. Bring to simmer, 10mins uncovered. Stir in 170g paella rice and bring to boil. Stir once, reduce heat, simmer 10mins. Add 100g frozen peas, mushrooms, simmer 15-20mins or until rice is tender, add more stock if required. Remove from heat, add prawns. Cover with clean cloth and leave to stand for 5-10mins.

You could add chicken, chorizo at the beginning too. It's yummy :)
