Feel naughty as have made no plans for food today, so it could be a grab and run day. Have been looking at loads of other peoples food diaries and - cant remember who now, but the thought of making up a weeks worth of food and freezing it and taking out each day is an EXCELLENT one and must meal plan next couple of days to acheive this as all i seem to do is prepare vegetables, cook and wash up. Bit excited about doing this, just one evening of batch cooking could leave me 2 free days during the week - yay!! Anyhoos, today so far.....

Really glad you are trying out new recipes as I think that is the key to sticking to plan. Looks like you are doing great and replacing those unhealthy snacks for healthier HEB's and syns. Hopefully if you have your dinner and .5 litre of water before going to the open evening you won't go overboard at the bbq. Have you tried the Ryvita Wholegrain CrackerBreads (6 as a HEB) and are quite nice.

Well looks like, planning and extra easy has worked this week. Morning weigh in - lost 3 pounds!!!! I am now 14.13. That sounds sooo good to be into the next stone.

Congratulations on your 3lb loss- knew you were doing well!
I haven't stuck 100% to plan last week, but aiming for a good loss this week. I also have the Curry Heaven book, but have yet to try some recipes out.
Sorry to hear about your kids having Chickenpox!!! Have some healthy snacks around for those stressful times this week

Oh Meli, sorry to hear that. Perhaps now i am getting back on the straight and narrow (I declined to share half a large bar of choccie and walkers sensations tonight with hubby !!) i can offer some assistance to you. Like for instance - have a go at one of the curry heaven recipies, once you have all the basic spices its so easy - and oh so delicious & filling.

When i usually have a good loss, the following week is usually a STS or put on - but this time i am determined to fight it!

Onwards and upwards!
