[Nanny Doreen]

Quickie post as I really need to get to bed.... but great going on your food today upndown, its so hard getting back to it after a holiday, so I'd say that's a good start!

Lettuce is supposed to be good for helping you sleep doreen, maybe you could munch some before bed lol.
Night night ladies, I need my bed! catch up tomorrow xx

I did sleep better last night, best sleep for ages. Maybe it is the lettuce.
I am waking up so must go to bed now.

Goodnight again xx

I'm sitting in bed waiting for the tens machine to work its magic on my poor old bod, it's paying me back for all the trips up and down the stairs and ladder today.
Hope you soon get to sleep hun xx

Have had a funny/different day today. Started off by going to the craft club in the library. Very enjoyable.
Then I came home and inspected the front garden. What a transformation. Worth the £20 as I did not want to do it myself. Has encouraged me to do the back now, Loads of weeds.

Had lunch and was falling asleep in the chair from 2am (must have been the lettuce Cloudy) in the enf decided to go to bed. That was 4pm. Woke up at 6.50 thinking it was morning and deciding whether to get up or not. Then realised it was evening. I hate it when that happens but must have needed the sleep. Am still feeling tired so will try and not go to bed too late.

Food for today not really red or green,

Hexa milk
hexb

B: eggs, bacon, mushroom and tomatoes. This was about 7am.

L: Lettuce with pineapple, onion, baby beets, boiled eggs x 2, tomatoes, balsamic vinegar for dressing with 15m x l mayo (1 syn)

D: none really, not hungry jelly with fruit and mullerlight. (1.1/2 Syns)

Total 2.1/2 syns Weigh day tomorrow.

Great that you are pleased with the garden. Will he be coming back to do more or did he blitz it all in one go? Oh to have the stamina to do that but these days I try not to overdo the gardening stints or I suffer for it big time

You must have been really tired to sleep that long, hope it doesn't mean you're up again at three in the morning or something! Lol at the lettuce. I had salad for lunch too, took me ages to munch through my tupperware containerful!
Sleep well hun

He will come back if I wish but limited income may not allow. At least not too soon. Hoping for some good weather this weekend then maybe I will get to do the back garden over a couple of days. I want to do it myself to help to keep me supple. I do enjoy it when all done.
Am going to Haverhill to help with the children as DIL going away and son working and I don`t want the garden to look bad when I come back. As always I will be tired after getting up in the mornings and taking children to school. Mind you as I will be pretty much in charge I think there will be no late nights for all of us.
I am always very tired and aching when I come back. Love it though.

As you say Doreen - you must have needed that rest but it does disorientate us when we sleep in the day!! So you ended up with a light food day - handy just before weigh in - I hope you have more energy 2moro and that your weigh in goes well. Glad to hear the garden is looking good! xx

Well you're on a roll now - looks like you're going to have your 3rd successive successful week! That's inspiring for me and helping me stick to the plan - so thanks for that.

I'm late tonight - visitors arrived - we had a lovely evening and Owen (2) was lots of fun but he didn't want to go to bed!

Here's how my food went today:

B: fat free yogurt and a banana
L: egg sandwich (HEB) and salad and a pear and an orange
T: SW chicken wrapped in bacon with stuffing (3 syns?) with roasted courgettes, onions, carrots and steamed broccoli and new potatoes. I didn't do a dessert as it's only me that has a sweet tooth! But they had cheese and biscuits - I resisted.

Then out came the pretzels and nuts - again I abstained but I had a little bag of nuts, seeds and dried fruit - (6.5syns)

Snacks: orange, banana and a pear (eating a lot of fruit to stop the hunger pangs but will try to cut down next week)

Went for a hill walk (shattered afterwards) then some gardening followed by frantic bed changing and cleaning!!

Hope everyone's been on plan and has a good weekendxx

Sounds like some good body magic followed that resistance of the cheese and biscuits. I always find them hard to resist as I adore cheese but the cals can very quickly add up with cheese/biscuits/nibbles type of thing!! I'm best avoiding it altogether as a little just isn't satisfying and I'd splurge, then regret it!
Giggled at Owen not wanting to miss out, you can't blame him really

What a smashing reply. Thank you so much Upndown. I must say it did encourage me even more. Hope I can be as good next week with the children. I am sure I can.
