Couldn't find any kale I was so disappointed!! They had it in asda last time I bought it a few months ago :( so I've got cabbage for now until they have it again :(

lol :p no worries Lauren, cabbage is good, on your next shop try and also buy lettuce or spinach do you like any of them ? xx
 
Hi Kay. Well done with sorting out an internet connection!

A question - if I have a JP tonight can I have baked beans as well, or would that be two portions of carbs? If so, I'll go for tuna. (The jp will be a small one!)

Thanks

Hi Patty :), hope your well hun. I know on green/ee baked beans are free, but for the challenge it is still 2 amounts of carbs, but since its a tiny jacket, go on then :p, but try and add lots of salad to your plate to balance out the carbs and make sure you hit your exercise and water target today and we should be fine ;) .

Thanks - it's actually my main meal as I had my salad for lunch.

Ellejay if you are a fan of quorn like me and you have an Asda near you, they are currently selling the quorn peppered steaks(x2 in a pack) and Chefs Selection jumbo burgers (x2 in a pack), for £1 each :D, I had them last week with my salad, they were super delish ! :p

Hi hun :), well done for the effort, I'm sorry yesterday didn't go to plan. Just a suggestion, would you like me to put you down as `planned day off ' for yesterday, everyone is allowed one planned day off on the challenge if they need it ?

Hi, well done for sorting internet out for a start... And secondly, I'd like that yes please but I've also got a buffet meal out on Sunday night for my mum and sisters birthday! I was trying to change the place so I can chose a healthy meal but it's a multi cuisine place and there is literally no healthy stuff :( not even a salad bar!!
Il try and eat mainly cook meats that are not covered in tons of sauces etc (il have to double check what plan is for Sunday though)
I so should of started next time lol. But I'm giving it a go!
Had nice salad got lunch :)

Q about carbs... When you say small amount, how small?
Hubby got pork chops out for tonight and we need to use them up so was thinking chops, mash or roasties with lots veg! Xx

Hi Jess, Sunday is a day before weigh in and no carbs should be consumed as much as possible, its a RED day, so if you stick to lean meats (skinless) without any calorific sauces you should be fine. Make sure you drink lots of water on Sunday too. For today I take it you are doing an EE day, your tea sounds fine, veggies are good too, but make sure they are not substituting salad, try add some salad to your plate too, the rest of it is perfect ;).

Looking forward to the yummy pics Jess, can't wait :p xx
 
I bought a lettuce today also for my chicken salad for dinner, spinach is a no no! I've tried it and eaten it, just don't like the soggy stodginess when cooked, or its leaf likeness as a salad haha. I'm so fussy! Iceberg lettuce all the way :)

Mmmmm, thanks hun xx are the jumbo burgers free?!

Just had a lush quorn fillet salad, made my "coleslaw" again, delish :eek: have to be completely honest & say that usually, feeling so cr**py with this cold I would've gone completely off plan, just for the "comfort", so I'm SO glad that the challenge kept me focussed xx

Off for a power walk later on this evening once LO has gone go bed so that I get my exercise in for the day :eek:
