Hey, WELL DONE on throwing away that roll!
And what is a sarnie?
Hey honey - thank you, sarnie means sandwich.

Missfortissimo - a sarnie is a sandwich!!! :8855:
Pinkie - sorry been awol for the last week. A certain ChelseaLou has been a-visiting and distracting me.
Sorry about the gain - although you sound rejuvenated again now.
You do EE right? Well mushy peas are free (not superfree) on EE & Green but remember they are a high fat veg that isn't free on Red. The reason I say this is that it means you ought to think about limiting them.
Have you tried a whole week of Red days to kick start your body? Or at least 5 Reds and only 2 Green/EE. I'm a slow loser and if I do EE and eat lots of carbs and meat it really slows down my weight loss. Lots of people find Red days give them much higher losses. So long as you eat good fribrous fruit and veg I am rarely hungry. Worth a thought chica.
Well done on the bike ride - almost 80 miles is fantastic. How did the *ahem* bottom hold out? Mine always gets pretty damn sore on a bike saddle.
You mentioned Danson Park. Do you live near there? My BIL was one of the park keepers / gardeners there some years ago. Lovely place.
Hey Pomette, no worries I'm glad you both had a good time, its lovely that you've had a like minded soul visit you, I take it there were no stresses such as you've had with other visitors?
I'm not sure I could do entire red days, I like chucking lentils in things too much. But that said, last night, I roasted half a Butternut squash and served with bolognaise sauce, rather than having full on spag bol with lots of pasta. I think I def do need to cut down on the carbs (my phone tried to write carnal then - chance'd be a fine thing!). I also bought some more swede for a beef stew I'm making and will limit the potato, the parsnips are going in though. Baby steps. So thanks for that tip. Like I say, not sure I could go full red (and full green def doesn't agree with me either), but I do think I can look at the balance of free versus superfree a bit.
I had peas a couple of times last week but that was it. Like I say, I'm trying to increase the proportion of superfree anyway so hopefully that will make a positive difference! If that doesn't work I may well try some 100% red days then, see if that shakes things up a bit.

Just popping into say hi. I'm slowly one day at a time getting back on track. Hope you're having fun with beanie xxx
Hey Penny. Glad you're getting things back in track. We're supposed to be holding each other's hands on this aren't we? Sorry, I've been a bit deflated this past week so haven't been on here as I should. We had a nice week thanks, it changes though as he gets older. He's a cocky little sod at the moment and prone to teenage strops, which is tiring. He's also too like me at times, so we end up in a head to head. Mix that with tiredness and I have mixed feelings about our week off together. Something I need to sit back and take stock of I think. We had some good days out though. And the great news is.... I will have him for nearly a month solid from mid November! Three weekends in a row where he won't be seeing his Dad at all. He seems quite relaxed about it, and I'll make sure we do stuff to keep him occupied. One of the days my parents are looking after him. My Dad wants to take him to Crystal Palace v Millwall. I'm a little concerned that my Dad will lose him so we'll see if that pans out or not. But it means he still gets some blokey time, and he completely adores my Dad.

Hi Pinkie, hoping you and Beanie are well!
Hey Molly, sorry I hadn't replied to you earlier. I'll get round to your various diaries today too as I'm back working and the pc will be on. It's easier there than on this phone.

Morning Pinkie,
Just catching up with your diary, and was really shocked to read about your gain!
I'm sure that it is just your body playing games, and not a 'real' gain!
I was 'shocked' too. I feel really lumpy and blobby today too and am simultaneously talking myself out of/into going to weigh in tonight. I don't feel like I can handle another gain. If I go gain, I think I'll take a few weeks out of going to class and just try get my head together.
But, I've been very good and on plan all week. I have eaten a LOT of fruit though, maybe too much? Saturday I ended up drinking vodka but with slimline tonic all evening and had a curry (I was celebrating a 4-1 win). Other than that though, I've been bang on all week. Annoyingly, Saturday night, my ability to draw married men like a magnet surfaced again. Unwanted etc etc. But I have to question, why do no nice single men ever make a move/show an interest, yet the married ones seem to be all over me like a rash. Seriously, I had to get my mates I was with to sneak ne out the pub to shake this one off! Aaasrrgghh! Tossers.
Anyhoo, I've been sat in BBs with a large skinny capuccino (my HEa for the day) so had best get back to work.
I'll catch up with all your diaries throughout the day hopefully. Hope you are all well xxx
