Sounds like some great excuses
Glad you feel better now. And a 3 day weekend that is completely not your fault can't be that bad, can it??
So right Atomic!

Well WI this morning and I'm up 1.5 lbs! Sort of expected it after the meals out, but always feel slightly miffed on a week like this - 4 days on plan, 3 days a bit off plan and I can gain 1.5lbs, although it can take me anything up to a month to get it off again! Anyway, today is the start of another week, so let's get on with it!

Food for Saturday 1st December
Breakfast - one Tesco's pain au chocolat (9PP)
Lunch - half a Tesco's cajun chicken wrap (6PP)
Dinner - quarter of a Tesco's pepperoni pizza and quarter of Tesco's spicy wedges (20PP), followed by one eighth of a Tesco's toffee apple crunch and a tbspn of cream (7PP)
Snack - 2 Satsumas (0PP)
Drinks - Green tea, NAS squash, water, one EG tea with a splash of milk
Totals for today - 42PP, 28 dailies and 14 weeklies
APs earned today - none.
Not a very well planned day today - we spent most of the day fitting our early Christmas pressi to ourselves - a new TV - wiring up the DVD player, sky, music centre and speakers, Wii, etc., etc., etc., then moving the old TV into the bedroom to start all over again! Dinner was a Tesco's meal deal - pizza, wedges and the pudd for £6 for 4 people, but I froze half the pizza and the wedges, and only had a sliver of the toffee apple crunch.
Tomorrow will be turkey tournedos with veg and gravy, and probably a bit more of the toffee apple pudding!
Having one last good push before Christmas - hoping to lose this week, will be happy to STS the following week as I have two work Christmas meals booked, and then would like to lose the next week, which will be the last Saturday before Christmas.

Sorry you are disappointed with the gain It always sucks even if you are expecting it. It *might* just be holding on to extra water due to the eating out, I find the extra salt when I am eating out can do this to me sometimes.
Food from yesterday may not have been as well planned as you would have liked but sounds delicious Really good saturday evening yummies. The pudding sounds very good and it sounds like you showed really good restraint to portion everything out and point everything so big well done.

Yep you're right - the extra salt may be part of it, and even though I was off with the sickness bug I wasn't sick enough for that to have a positive effect! I just have to accept I put it on a lot more easily than I take it off - and not being able to eat out sometimes would make me more miserable than taking the occasional gain on the chin!
The Tesco's pudding was very good - I usually prefer home-made puddings, especially the more traditional ones, but we both said it could have been home-made - and not too bad for points either.

Ooh! I'm coming to yours for dinner! That being said, lunch too while I'm there, I adore choc raisins, not had any for aaaaages! ^^
Sorry to hear about the gain, am sure you'll have it gone in no time at all!
Have a good week!
You're welcome any time! The choc raisins were actually the hubbies, but he shared!

Food sounding utterly fabulous! Can i come round for dinner too?? I fully intend to steal the idea of the salad and houmous wraps, they sound lovely.
I am also a fan of chocolate raisins, buts fortunately for me only dark chocolate coated ones and there is only one shop round here that I know does them and I haven't been there for ages. I do have an appointment near there later in the week though... Might be worth a trip.

Ooh choc brazil nuts always remind me of Christmas!
Of course you'd be welcome as well Atomic! Yum - like the sound of dark chocolate raisins too, although nothing will replace dark chocolate coated ginger in my affections!

Noooooo! Mind you I used to hate dark chocolate when I was your age. *Pauses to lapse into a 'what it was like in my day moment!' *

Finally... from this week I am on my proper 5 day a week contract for the LSA post. Really pleased as the half-and-half week I was doing was sold to me as a short term thing, and lasted longer than I anticipated. I was also doing an extra 5 - 6 hours a week, which I didn't really want to be stuck with for too long. I was thinking it would be next year before it changed over, so I'm really glad to be able to settle into a proper new routine before Christmas.

Great news about the contract getting sorted Extra working hours is rarely a good thing!
I also LOVE dark chocolate coated ginger. About a year ago I made what I consider to be the ultimate flapjack - apricot, stem ginger and dark chocolate. They were dangerously tasty.
How do you make your homemade yogurt? And does it taste much different to bought stuff? I have often toyed with the idea of making my own as I was excited about trying out different flavours and things but generally I usually cop out and just add stuff to plain greek yogurt.

You can get yogurt makers but I find the easiest way is with a good old fashioned thermos flask. You heat your milk to 'finger heat' (you can tell it's very exact!) then stir in your yogurt starter, mix well and pour into a warmed flask. Put on the lid and stand to 'cook', usually overnight. I normally put mine in the airing cupboard. Add fruit etc., once it has set and you have cooled it down. The starter can be some plain live yogurt (make sure it is 'live' - as not all natural yogurts are), or a pack/half a pack of the Easiyo yogurt mixx, or some of each.
I find it tastes 'fresher' than shop bought yogurt, and you can use skimmed/semi or full cream milk. It also appeals to my latent hippy tendencies! For real indulgence add some evaporated milk too. To get a greek yogurt you'd probably have to add some cream, I would think after you'd cooled it down.
Have a go!
