Well done on the lb off Jax. I hope you have a less stressful few days. Take care. xx

 

[Jax123]

Thanks Saski

Another good day so far today - the child I support wasn't in so caught up on odd jobs and photocopying, laminating, phone calls etc this morning and spent a very enjoyable afternoon doing observations in reception Twinkles just home and seem to be in a good mood which is always a bonus. Plan is the minute eldest is safely home, am off out to get rid of extremely bushy eyebrows and get some much needed shopping. Dinner tonight is left over chicken from yesterday - yum, yum

Yesterdays food ended up at 16 points so I managed to save 4 pts - got loads of OU stuff done - almost up to date thank heavens - did get the munchies late last night but limited it to WW tortillas and pink and whites so all good there!

Todays food plan;
Today
B - Cereal (3), skimmed milk (1)
L - Soup (1), bread roll (2), yoghurt (0.5)
D - Chicken (3), mashed potato (2), lots of veg (0), gravy (1)
Snacks - WW tortillas (1), pink and white (0.5)
Total so far - 15 - fingers crossed I dont get the munchies later!

There you go then Jax some deep breaths, a few useful tricks of the OU trade and you're back to feeling and being in control. See I knew 24 years as an OU lecturer was useful for something!!

Hope everything goes well dietwise it sounds as if you are back in the driving seat
