Kay's journey to health and happiness

[Cheese Thief]

The TOTM fairy has come today so am a bit more hungry, planning on having a red day tomorrow, want to cook some fish, not sure what to do with it yet, think I might make a fish curry for the evening and have soup for my lunch, not sure yet, if I'm less hungry then I might not bother with the curry and just have the fish with salad for my evening dinner .

Arghh I hate the TOTM fairy! Hope you don't feel too crappy. I always lose my appetite for the first couple of days, weird how some people get extra hungry and others eat less!

Fingers crossed any bloatedness will be gone in time for WI!

Hi Kay

im so sorry I havent been around for you today. I have just read your thread and felt very sad with your mornings post. You mustn't let yourself be defeated. You ARE going to get there because that what you really really want. If we want something enough it will happen, maybe with a little pain along the way but like having a baby it gets forgotten.
None of us really know how we got ourselves into the weight issues that we have, but we all want the same result.
So with the lovely support of all your friends on here, and if your not sure, re-read some of these posts today, you will be that beautiful person in those photographs yet again. Then we would all like to see the real Kay perhaps not just the cutest little bunnies!!
Have a lovely weekend hun.
You are a superstar that is on a fantastic journey. Be proud, we are!

No need to apologise bubbles, thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it . I'm feeling a lot better since yesterday . I hope your having a good start to the weekend too .

Salad challenge sounds brill!! I was thinking the same sort of thing, shake it up with peppers, and some new dressings that are low syn.

The coloured pasta fuscilli is fantastic for adding to salads, as are boiled new potatoes and sliced egg.

Enjoy!!

Wow I like the idea of the pasta fuscilli salad Lauren. I love new potatoes too and eggs in my salad, yum yum. I like my salad's to look colourful on the plate and have different textures running through them. Pizza express do a really nice lentil salad, I would like to try something similar . So excited about this salad challenge, will be a busy bee today looking up recipes. I hope you have a smashing start to your week Lauren with your new eating plan, it all looks good, hope I can call you Target Member on Friday , so excited for you hun, finger crossed !

Hehe morning Kathryn. Well I've not got started yet, still writing down some ideas. Others have been helping me too with lists of yummy ingredients . I think by Monday I won't want to look at soup for a while lol so need a change. Looking forward to doing the salad week from Tuesday. I have a book on salads its lovely but not a SW one so I will have to adapt some of the recipes. I'm going to spend time going through my recipe books today. I was wondering, do you know if SW have a book on salads ?

Also how are you feeling now hun, did the new tabs work ? I hope you got a good night sleep.

I think I'll just wait for you to post the recipes so I can copy them then hehe! I'm not sure about a sw salad book I'm afraid, I could ask at class on Monday morning. Looking forward to seeing pics of your salads next week

I'm still in bed both kev and matty are both up the tablet I took last night hasn't made any difference yet to the pain... Hopefully once they're in my system they will. I did sleep ok though, buy have a banging head at the mo grr!

Have you anything else much planned for today? I think mum wants me to go shopping with her this afternoon, so doggy walk this morning

 

[Willbeslimjen]

Oh and there is some in the.ittle book of lunches. Again I have that if you want me to look

 

[Kay003]

Hey Lmn , it will be the same principal as the soup challenge where the salad has to be one of your main meals in the day (for 7 days), so it can't be a side dish to go with your meal, it has to be your main course, so it will be a large portion with lots of ingredients in it, very healthy and filling .

Just as an idea, here is one of pizza express main course salads - so something like this for lunch or dinner .

Aww thanks Jen I might just take you up on your offer ! hehe. I am doing the challenge with my friend Von (and anyone else that wants to join is welcome). We are starting from Tuesday . I will be working on the recipes today, me and Von will exchange recipes, might call on you then too for some tips and ideas from your lovely book . Thanks so much Jen, really appreciate it. Hope your having a lovely day hun.

I'm glad you had a good nights sleep hun. For the banging headache, I have that first thing when I wake up too , I usually have a nice hot cup of herbal tea in bed, seems to do the trick. I like camomile tea, its very relaxing. I've also got the mother of cramps this morning because TOTM fairy is with me, so taken some pain killers and got my hot water bottle. Don't think I will be going out but my sis called yesterday and said she might pop round for dinner. No chance of her eating a SW soup so may be cooking a fish curry tonight, hope she likes it, will be nice to catch up with her. She likes my SW cheesecakes so might make that for her and have my healthy fruit salad again for my dessert. Your afternoon sounds nice shopping and walk, hopefully the weather will stay sunny, I plan to go for mine later too. I hope your pain goes down soon hun.

Sounds fab hun and really do-able. I'm sure you will have loads of great choices. I might have to jump on the band wagon and try it myself after my holiday.xx

 

[Kay003]

Oh yep you sure can, plus you will have the benefit of knowing if me and Von lost anything and if its worthwhile to do . I am really anxious about Tuesdays results because that will tell me if the soup challenge worked. If I get a decent result on Tuesday then I will defo recommend it to others . In the same manner am keen to see your results on Monday for the affect of the detox you've done this week. I'm really hoping you have a smashing loss on Monday hun .

I really hope I can get a good loss hun, I had a sneaky peep at the scales this morning and they are still looking good. Just need to make sure I continue to be good all weekend.
I'm sure your soup challenge will work, I've done both soup and stews before and both worked amazingly well for me before. The thing is, I had so much that I can't face either now xx
