It will be Friday before you know it

Are the quinoa flakes something you make or buy from a health food store? Sound interesting!!

Slow cooked brisket :drool: did you get the meat from a butchers or supermarket? I'd love to have a go at making some! xx

It needs to hurry up Lil I'm tired We bought them from Holland & Barretts - new item! They are lovely and nutty and are like cereal for me

Morrisons as it was on offer. James has prepared it with a BBQ rub then a BBQ passata based sauce and red onions! Nom! Leftovers will do nicely for lunches too xxxx

 

[OpalLilyEats]

You should get some liquid smoke to put in the slow cooker when you're making brisket/pork etc... it adds such an amazing flavour!

I got mine from a little independent burrito shop on the outskirts of Belfast but you can get it on amazon etc. xx

Well last night ended up being particularly naughty! We had our healthy brisket (which was amazing) served with carrots and spring greens. Then on our way to see James' family I got a text saying the sister in law had got us a bottle I wine to share! So I shared it with her! And had a handful of crisps too. Not overly impressed with myself but the wine was great (aldi special but actually yum) and we had a lovely evening. Becki had bought me a wedding journal which you stick photos in etc of your journey from engagement to honeymoon and we spoke weddings galore! She's almost as excited as me! So glad I'm having her as a Bridesmaid. We also discussed hols and going away abroad with them next Easter, so me and James are gonna book a holiday for us for Septemer! Exciting times!

Anyway back on it today!
Lunch: leftover brisket served with brown rice
Dinner: Meatballs with courgette pasta

Also got the gym tonight so going to do some running followed by a small weight session; still aching from Monday!

Happy Hump Day ladies

xxxx

 

[asmallertasha]

But Jess, you had to share it! You had no other choice. Really it just would have been rude to say no! And that's really not bad at all! Alcohol makes me want to eat the frigging Tayto factory (Irish reference!) so I think you were pretty restrained! Dinner this evening sounds yummy! I have such a hankering for meatballs at the moment!! Have a good day babe and enjoy the gym later xx

Yes Tasha it would have been rude! lol love the Irish words and I'd had a big tea so was feeling okay! I'm so excited for meatballs

Only on way home from work now so gym is going to be less and later than planned so just going to do a run I think. I wanted to go jogging in the sunshine but James wants to stay in gym :/ just cba tbh but will be going to the gym anyway.

Had a naughty kit Kat this afternoon; had training and it was so much info to absorb. Half way through trainer brought out kit kats and coffee! Only 5.5 syns? Worth it! xxxx.

 

[JessyG24]

Morning ladies! It's very quiet on here what with poorly and busy bees.

Did a naughty look on scales this morning and they said 10.2 :/ wtf?! I'll assume it's from the gym and not look again until next Monday.

I actually enjoyed the gym last night. Just sprinted 1km as it was running club so treadmills busy and then did a barbell weight set with James - I love exercising with my boy; he's really enthusiastic and supportive, and doesn't let me quit.

James did meatballs when we got in and we had them with proper pasta!!!! Actually might explain the bloat this morning. Carbs help recovery after the gym though and I must say I'm not aching too much this morning!

Eats for today:
Lunch: Chili from Monday night so hoping it will taste delicious!
Dinner: James is going to Prague on his stag tomorrow so we are going for a meal at meadowhall as we have to get him some more currency and a new bag. Will be Thai or wagamamas .

Weather is beaut here today! Friday Eve ladies! xxxx

 

[Miss_Corset]

Aww you two little gym bunnies are too cute!! Glad you had fun and sounds like James made a delicious tea!

Thai or Wagamamas for tea sounds fab tonight - I could really go for a pad thai or something. Hmm...might have to see what we've got in to make it!

What are you up to whilst he's away on the stag?
