New Beginnings

[summergurl]

Yeah defo. I work out the cals I can have a day using that bmr calculator then work out how many that is a week and divide them up giving myself 1,300 for 4days & 1,750 for 3 days (for the weekend ) xx

According to the bmr thingy on myfitness pal, its a lower amount of calories than the one I used. I must check on this.

Thanks Tanya.

Calories were just over 1800 yesterday, so I will definitely pull this back over today and tomorrow and plan my menus better. Because I didnt decide to start calorie counting until after I had shopped, thats the reason my calories were higher - couldnt waste the goodies I had about eh!

Off to work my menu for today and will update later tonight in work.

Well done on the STS.

Real shame about the restaurant. I'd be gutted to spend that money at a top named restaurant and be disappointed. Hopefully they send you a refund and a big apology!!

The chicken and butter bean stew was lovely and so filling. I bring home some dried red pepper from Turkey, and this added a lovely spiciness to it. Mmmm could go to sleep now instead of working
