Afternoon everyone. Lovely afternoon here. Got home yesterday about 7pm. Was going to the chippy but it was too busy. As I said I had the cheese Sat morning then had nothing till I got home, even tho` I did a dinner for Faye. I just forgot.
When I got in had 2 cups Beannie Irish Coffee with 7 chocolates that my son gave me with my pressies for mothers day. thought best to eat chocs when having this kind of day rather then later in the week. I thought I would have a free from sw day totally. I had four toast
and a tin of raviola.

I have been shopping and bought plenty of fruit & veg.
Had brunch at 12.45 bacon eggs mushroom toms 1 sausage (1/2) 3 bread (2.1/2)
Dinner will be 4 sausages (2) spuds broccoli & cabbage and onion gravy (1) 10g bisto.
Snacks pears.
I notice you avoided fish & chips too LJ and you avoided the Naan Mo. Better than my avoidence because I had the chocs.
Your extra fibre sounds like it is doing the job LJ.

Enjoy the rest of the day all, I have unpacked and washed all my gear whilst catching up on some TV.

It is so nice to be home and I have sat and worked out some food for the week.

Glad ur at home - nowhere like it is there? And u can have me time after busy week - u deserved the chocs and as u say better to eat them today than nearer WI day - I find it's the times when I don't plan that are the most difficult - so that's a good job done.

That's why I often make a meal for 4 and we have it 2 days running - neither of us are bothered as long as it's tasty and quick! I do freeze meals sometimes but I don't have a big freezer and it's often full! Enjoy ur well earned rest!

Believe the best one.

Can someone tell me that the two litres we should be drinking can I count my coffee too?
I have had to pints of sugar free squash so far today also around a pint of coffee with milk.

 

[upndown]

Hi again - here's a link to the NHS website - it says yes u can count water in tea/coffee - yet some say that tea/coffee dehydrate the body so u can't - I'd go the with NHS!!

I think it's a really good site - there's a review of popular diets inc SW - they're positive about it but say it doesn't teach us about portion control - well we've touched that on here haven't we??

Water and drinks - Live Well - NHS Choices

 

[Nanny Doreen]

Thank you upndown. This thread has so much information.

I will have a look at that now.

Well good afternoon everyone!

what a beautiful day it is! Although I have been stuck in a dingy office all day, but was nice to have some sunshine when I sat outside at lunch and ate my potato!

I had had a productive day, and got paid overtime for it all done now and at home. The kitties were happy to see me. The all gathered at the top of the stairs lol

Well I am thinking about writing a list and planning some meals for the week. Then get all my jobs done today so I can relax tomorrow!

I actually think you might be onto something with the fibre. I had brown toast this morning and it did fill me up until 2pm when I had a potato. It didn't seem to affect me. But I think I will stick to having it occasionally. I am looking forward to trying LJs smoothies next weekend!

I haven't managed to do any exercise. Well apart from generally walking round and my burst of cleaning last night. I may go for a nice walk tomorrow, the weather is supposed to be lovely again.

Nanny D I was reading about the water thing. Even fizzy sugar free drinks count towards your water. Although as Upndown mentioned that caffeine drinks do dehydrate you, so I guess you would need to drink maybe more to compensate for this. Although how much it dehydrates you I don't know??

 

[Nanny Doreen]

I suppose it might dehydrate me CJ but I am always in the loo, and up several times during the night, well at least 3.

I don`t reckon I would manage 2 litres without the coffee, but at least 1lt. Gonna be measuring it and see how much I have. Will save on the coffee eh?
