Wed 30th Sept (where's September gone???!!!)
Breakie - granola with blueberries & skimmed milk
Lunch - (at swimming pool after an hour's splashing about
) cottage cheese, tomato, cucumber & beetroot (it's 4 items for £2.40)
snack - summer fruits maintenance drink
Tea - Tilapia fillet with large mixed salad. Ff from frais with sugar free jelly crystals.
Work - a pear, 2 plums and a cottage cheese salad.
I went to the chemist to pick up a few maintenance products this afternoon. I wasn't really planning on getting weighed because a) I've been on holiday, b) it was late afternoon and I've only ever got weighed there first thing in the morning, and c) If I'd been planning on getting weighed I'd have worn different clothes!
However he seemed to just assume I'd be getting weighed - so I did and since I was last there (17th August so about 6 weeks?) I'd gained 1.4lbs (There's that ruddy 1.4 AGAIN!) I was quite plesed with that - it leads me to believe I must have lost a bit in the last few days too - which can only be good xx

Eh - that is great Jan, and I doubt it would be 1.4 if 1) you had weighed in the morning and 2) if you had other clothes on!! So, take of 0.4lb I would say
but come on, 1.4lb (I know, your dreaded number) in all those weeks!!!!!! WELL DONE MRS!!!!!You have been so careful though the past week and been very proud of you ;-)! That will keep you going.....I bet you feel proud and determined.
Have a great day!!!!!!!

Thanks guys ..... I'm not there yet but haven't been picking as much!
Breakie - late getting to bed so sort of had 2 - one was a maintenance choc whip and the other 1&1/2 pieces of bread with lf cheese spread & a slice of brie.
Bed all day.
Tea - Shoulder of lamb done in slow cooker with carrots & stock with half a baked sweet potato. Lf from frais with sugar free jelly crystals.
Work - I've brought the rest of the lamb, salad & a piece of bread with lf spread.
I'm trying eating more substantial meals hoping that'll curb the picking instead of living on salads. I don't really like feeling so full though - it feels like I'm eating too much but it doesn't look like too much when I write it down! ..... We'll see xx

xxI mainly try to have a good substantial meal Jan, I much prefer that and it certainly stops me picking.
Its all trial and error, just getting and finding out our bodies and how they work. You would think at OUR age we would know our bodies, but I dont think we ever truly will lol.

Hi Jan
I think when it gets colder as well our body craves some heat and some stodge, albiet good stodge
I dont like that full up feeling either, but I think sometimes I eat too quickly as well, so it makes me feel so much fuller quicker..make sense.
I think you are doing really well and having more substantial meals will make all the difference in the picking dept....

Lunch - (out) Half a bacon sandwich (no spread)

It's been really changeable here but we deffo got the best out of the day.
I'm the same with bones Tan believe me - I was so hungry I persevered but I don't know whether it's some reaction to that is why I'm feeling sick or what - I really feel as though I won't be hanging onto the fish though xx

xxHow are you Jan? Oh, the fish sounds awful.......I am the same when it comes to bones, reason why I wouldnt eat fish for years....one or two bones, ok, can deal with now, but not a fishful!!!! Poor you.
Good that you got outside into the fresh air; it was changeable here yesterday. One minute sun out then the next, pouring down!

Thanks for asking Iris - I've been up and down today tbh. I did discover that the soy sauce I've been using went out of date in 2005! Don't know whether that's got anything to do with it. DH did comment I seemed to have more than usual on my dinner and that was before I noticed the date on it, only saw that today. I don't know.
How are you dong now hon?? Feeling any better about things?
Went to the swimming pool again today, did just over an hour - still can't call it swimming but it's certainly better than sitting on my backside! DH & I took Mum shopping and then had a nice glass of wine in a sheltered spot in the sunshine outside a pub near her house.
Breakie - 2 weetabix, raspberries, splenda & skimmed milk.
Lunch (at pool) - Spoonful of tuna & mayo, tomato, cucumber & beetroot.
Half a mini muffin in sainsbury's cafe (50cals)
Tea - Stir fried pork & vegetables in chop suey sauce with a shake of 'the food doctor's spicy stir fry mix' on top. (NO soy!)
Supper - 4 oatcakes, 2 with houmous & 2 with brie.
Oh by the way - can't believe I nearly forgot LOL! Lost 2.8lbs this week!
