The same way for the yorkies, but with a different flour mix - gluten free. I will try them again and this time not commit the cardinal sin of opening the oven door!
Hehe. Another cardinal sin of fruit with savoury! Trifle can be very diverting though!
Sounds like a gorgeous sundayWe had roast pork too. I had clotted cream ice cream and homemade chocolate sauce with Downtown though. I like our "diet" plan
Lol. Yes it's a good 'un!

I'm really happy with how it is going and with the way I am thinking about food now. It seems to have much less of a hold on me, and there is less of an attachment or connection between what happens/how I am feeling and what I end up eating. The other side of that is that when I do eat more than I should it has a much less negative impact on me - I can accept that I just ate a bit more than I should, and it's no big deal.
I am just about to update for today and yesterday's food in a moment. Monday is a write off - I didn't even bother to record it on MFP - one of those days where too many nibbles (including a packet of Holland and Barrett's Ginger Explosion and half a pack of Haribo Tangfastic) and a Wetherspoons meal made an appearance. I kept a running total in my head, but once it reached 2600 I decided it was a lost cause and to start again on Tuesday!

Yep exactly. I really enjoyed it all too. Feeling OK about it.

Was going to have a major catch up and posting session, but just too tired I'm afraid. Sorry peeps - have read your diaries but not posted on them all - just read and run on several. Quite a tough day at work today - three really crappy classes - this Wednesday in my timetable is always the day when I wonder if I am in the wrong job, but something will come along later in the week to make up for it. Well it usually does anyway, so fingers crossed. Wish I was young enough again to be so sure I knew everything! LOL! Yes, year 10s and 11s, that is directed at you!

I think its very much to right attitude to not get to caught up if one day ends up over allowance or not fitting in with your eating plan, whatever that is. Afterall this is about much more long term changes. I think one of the differences with this approach is I found myself much more aware of how many calories there were in things even if I wasn;t strictly counting every last calorie.
The cheese, leek and bacon in cheese sauce with fried polenta sounds gorgeous. Did you make the polenta yourself or was in ready to cut stuff? I am ashamed to say i have never tried either although its something i always mean to.
Hope Thursday has treated you better and your hope of a moment that "makes it all worthwhile" was not misplaced!!

Quite a good day today thanks Serena. Workwise I think anything would have been better than yesterday though! My mouth is still bit tender, but a lot better it was. My tongue felt like I had one of those rectangular battery terminal holders attached to it, like we used to do when we were kids! Having chilli tonight though - kill or cure!

Definitely in this for the long term. I think occasional days off are 'normal' life, or should be anyway.
The polenta was shop bought. I'm not sure about it tbh. It wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be. The cheese sauce made it. On the packet it does say you can fry it, dredge in sugar and serve as part of a sweet dish, which I am seriously considering for the other half of the packet!
I have some 'raw' polenta in the pantry which I thought I would mix up to try, as like most things I should think home made is tastiest.

Few ouchie moments, but it was worth it for the chilli, which was amazingly tasty! You can't beat jacket potato skins when they have been done in the oven!

When I was kid my mum used to do a meal called 'Scoopies' reminds me of that! X

Scoopies? Is that like loaded skins then?
I changed the plan of a dollop of mayo to a dollop of greek yogurt so I could finish the evening with a gluten free mince pie. I need to test them before Christmas, so I can decide if it is worth bothering to make my own, or if I need to start stocking up in the freezer.
