Looks like 1 to 2lb on this morning which will be the curry I had last night !!!

Difficult to tell exactly how much as I don't weigh myself morning of weigh in

 

[janetelizabeth]

I'd be the same the next morning after a big meal the night before...actually after my birthday meal I gained 3lbs over night...just lovely for weigh in the next morning!!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I reckon my New York gain might be 6 lbs due to food flight water retention etc but we get back on a Thursday morning so I have 5/6 days to pull something back

In my experience for what it's worth....'bloat' does (usually) go once we get back on plan. But a fantastic holiday like yours is to be enjoyed, every moment!! From when you leave for the airport to when you finally get home again.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Yep proper butter !!! As airport breakfast is usually toast with butter mmmmmm

 

[janetelizabeth]

And I can't stand the taste of the stuff!! lol

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Well I ended up again with no proper dinner as I went to the cinema with my friend after work to see the Helen Mirren film 100 Hundred Foot Journey which we both thoroughly enjoyed,

I don't think it ever hurts us to miss a meal...and eating what we feel like is the best, once in a while!! (Every week for me!!)

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I have woken up so hungry this morning so will have some fruit before going to the post office and gym

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Another snacky day so far not helped by the fact I have been off today

Grapes apple

Jelly sweets 4 syns

[janetelizabeth]

I know, sometimes the food is all there but I can't decide exactly what to eat so end up snacking....

 

[Jaffa Cake]

That is the problem with being at home I try to use up odds and ends .

Have you tried the hex b wrap ?? You can only get it in Asda in the free from section as they are gluten free so perfect for you. They don't taste fantastic and have a bit of a weird texture but for something a bit different to bread they are worth it. Plus you can use them as a thin pizza base for the SW tortilla pizza

They are pricey though.

It is B free wraps only 5 syns each if you don't hex them

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes I've tried all sorts of free from wraps, breads & the pizza base but it seems to be the 'grains' or whatever is used that still doesn't like me. Causes itchy ears and constipation...so I avoid them. Shame because they looks so nice and would expand my food range....

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Oh that's a shame I thought it would be ideal for you.

Maybe the corn thins are the way to go then ?

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes thanks I will try them, but probably like the ryvita...no more than 2 or the 25g minis.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Extra easy today but I had 2 hex b as a maintainer I am allowed and since I am at the lower end of my target I didn't see any harm

Oh nice...makes me think of toad in the hole! I do like yorkshire puds! My mum used to make them to fill her hungry children up!

That's one of the reasons I like the green plan, 2 x hex A & B. I agree, good to take extras if we need them.
