Morning all!

Thursday 1st October EE
Breakfast - bacon, eggs, beans, toast (B)
Lunch - omelette with cottage cheese, peppers, onion and tomatoes served with rocket.
Dinner - Turkey casserole. It's been in the slow cooker since 9am! Turkey legs, carrots, parsnip, swede, potatoes, onion, stock and a tbsp cranberry sauce (2 syns). I'll cook some leeks seperately as DD doesn't like them!
Syns - 2 little cakes (5) 2 rich tea (4)

Pear
Lunch - chicken salad and an apple

Thanks Shirley, much appreciated (can't rep ya hun :-(
I need the support at the moment, don't know what's up with me really, I'm just struggling which isn't like me at all.
I'm out tonight and there is a buffet but I am having my tea before I go and trying hard to resist temptation. I'm not hopeful but I am determined that my week will be better.
Tomorrow night I am going to sit and plan the week's meals, I have lots of meat in the freezer, courtesy of Tesco marking it all to half price just as I got there, so I have lots to choose from.
Today is all but written off, tomorrow will be better.

Hey Hun don't worry too much I'm sure you will be back on track in no time at all. I go through notions where I can't stick to it but then I remind myself that its a life change not a diet and it helps me to not be so hard on myself.
Lucky girl arriving when Tesco are marking down I love it when that happens!!

Hi Jay hun *hugs*, I know how you have been feeling ~ as I have said before and I will say again you are one of the most dedicated and determined members on here so go for it!!! Well done on your 100% day ~ here's to another one tomorrow, xx ps your cottage at Christmas sounds romantic *sigh*
It sounds lovely doesn't it! The cottage you are going to isn't called Barn End is it?? Its a long shot but Jons aunty and uncle own a cottage in the dales and rent it out. Its so lovely and peaceful, I keep mentioning to Jon that we should go and have a romantic weekend but it would never work out quite that way as we would have to go see the family as well and try and have time together if that makes sense!

Hi Ladies!
It's not that one Shirley, where abouts in the Dales is it? It would be very romantic if it was just me and OH but both sets of parents, DD and my brother will put paid to any peace! Will be lovely to have the family together though, it doesn't happen often.
Nothing planned for the weekend really, just catching up on all the things I can't find time to do in the week - washing, ironing, housework and I've been threatening to sort my kitchen bookcase out for ages so I may do that!
Today's food - Green Day
Breakfast - porridge and scan bran (B)
Lunch - 2 scan bran (1 syn) with cottage cheese and figs
Banana and Shape yoghurt
Dinner - mixed bean chilli with rice and cheese (A)
Snacks - one corn on the cob, 2 crispbreads (2 syns) 2 small bread with cottage cheese (B)
Syns - 3 poppadoms (6)
