Scales are exactly the same as last Saturday and Saturday before to the point so at least my scales aren't saying I'm going away heavier.

Also its the start of star week - well 3 days so that might have had an impact

 

[ginlin]

Morning Jaffa,

Good about the scales, blah about star week and what a delicious looking feast you had last night!

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes I was thinking that looked a tasty meal !
Glad the scales are being consistent.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I wish the scales were down but today is the start of star 3 days and it's been 4 months instead of 3 as I went back to back on the pill for an extra month so I'm not surprised I'm extra bloated

 

[janetelizabeth]

Well surely that bloat will soon be gone and the scales will go down too, let's hope so. No wonder you've been feeling rough.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

The pain is different to my daily pain. It's difficult to articulate and describe but they are totally different

I might weigh in at homd before I fly next week I'm not decided yet as I don't want to ruin the first day of my holiday

Meal out today was Turkish mezzes will post pictures when I get them off my husbands phone

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Mezzes

Not in any order

Iman Biyaldi - aubergine
Stuffed mushrooms with feta and spinach
Lavash - bread
Houmous
Calamari
Falafel
Feta and spinach parcels
More bread

 

[dsjb99]

Oh Jaffa they looked delicious! Hope they weren't too synful my dear!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I'm sure they were !!

The falafel, mushrooms and parcels were deep fried and the houmous would have been made with oil plus all the lovely bread !!

Your first comment made me chuckle! lol.
After all...it is Saturday! All looked very tasty.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

With me going away for a week we wanted to have a nice meal out

But to be honest we would have eaten there on a usual Saturday as it is perfect Saturday food for us !!

Not really trying or being good the next couple of days to be honest

 

[janetelizabeth]

I wasn't sure if your husband was going too.
I've never eaten in a meze, we do have one in the town centre though...but I know Joseph wouldn't eat there. :sigh:
Well, you won't be weighing in again until 10th? plenty of catch up time when you get back. Generally there always seems to be plenty of healthy food to be found on the Spanish islands so I'm sure you'll be alright. Are all your meals in the hotel?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

No just me and my mum and we're all inclusive so there is food on tap all day
Breakfast
Snacks
Lunch
Snacks
Dinner
Etc plus unlimited drinks cocktails non alcoholic cocktails etc

There should be loads of salads but there will also be lots of bread chips and other unhealthy stuff and I have no will power abroad as I'm quite restricted with what I eat when I go all inclusive so it tends to be chips salad and bread I don't really have many desserts as they tend to be full of cream which I can't have but if they just have cakes and biscuits then I'll be in trouble !

My weakness is also fried potatoes like hash browns etc and the breakfast pancakes or churros you sometimes get

But life is too short and holiday is for enjoying and I love food

Yes the 10th but I've booked it off as holiday just in case I'm still over.

I'll go to class but depending on my scales will depend if I get weighed

 

[janetelizabeth]

Not forgetting patatas bravas & patatas pobre!! I haven't made those in a looonngg time!!

I can see you're going to have a big time!!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Mmmmmmmmm love potatoes

 

[dsjb99]

Oh Jaffa hope you have a lovely holiday! Enjoy the sunshine, its long overdue here but then it is only January! I am still keeping to the programme so hoping to be back to target on Tuesday.
