It will definitely shift.

Mine are up as well but that's totally deserved

Wished we could just eat and it not be so drastic on the scales!! Is that too much to ask?

Janet that would be far too easy and impossible sadly. I was lucky last night I found out it was steamed pulled pork and bread rolls last night at my friend's house quiz night. Of course I always say I don't like bread rolls so took a tub of cucumber, peppers, cherry tomatoes and it was perfect. I managed to only have 2 cans of cider too and about 50ml of bacardi and lots and lots of coke. I managed to not eat more than 10 syns of chocs and other treats (incl stuffing/apple sauce) We had a fun quiz and a great night. Why was I so worried!

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes I know Donna...but was worth the passing thought!! lol

Sounds like you did well with your planning for last night and kept everything under control...well done!
I'm meeting a friend on Friday for lunch and already thinking shall I have this or that?

Eat what you want Janet that could be one of your off days.

Which meringues are you using ?

 

[janetelizabeth]

I'm pretty sure it was the risotto rice... I'm better off staying with potatoes that why I eat them about everyday.

Meringues are a box I bought a while back on offer from aldi... much nicer than Morrison's.

Scales thankfully going down... 10.7 3/4 this morning. Keep going!!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

That's great cave girl

Woo hoo on the scales I didn't bother this morning as I'm in work all week so didn't want to have a bad Monday

 

[ginlin]

Good scales this morning Janet, mine were down too!

The meringues I am using are Aldi's specially selected ones, and agree, they are delicious!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I work near an Aldi so I should be able to slip in this week

The more I read the more I'm understanding the way for me to eat and drink. The Dr tells you to up your fibre where I've read to go lower for what I've got.Also drinking too much water isn't good for you apparently.Washes out all the nutrients.The 'health experts' recommend 8 glasses.A number that was plucked out of thin air. Not read any scientific evidence yet that we need 8 glasses.And how big a glass should it be? So last couple of days I have been low and can already feel a difference in my stomach and things are moving almost normally. I know it's only been a couple of days but at least it's a start. My pain below right ribs has subsided.

Hope the scales are down this morning. Do you only eat breakfast and lunch then snack rest of the day?

I agree...I've found out lots of tips for myself and Joseph google searching and to be honest the doctors really don't have the time or inclination to go indepth.
Glad you're feeling more comfortable now too.

Well, 'lunch' is my main meal of the day and we eat that around 2-3pm so by 7-8pm I'm happy with something light. It's been my pattern for years.
The options & chocolate is around 4pm and the last batch of food is altogether not snacking.

 

[janetelizabeth]

Thanks Lynne...glad your scales have shifted too. I didn't know that aldi had the meringues as a stock item...thanks for that.

Jaffa...they seem to have a 'creaminess' about them and that's nice.

 

[ginlin]

I haven't a clue if the ones I bought was on Special Buy or a regular line, these are the ones I have...

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes they're same as mine. I got them weeks ago, maybe Mothers Day time?

Maybe so, but only got round to trying them recently, and they weren't there this morning, so must have been on Special buy!

We'll have to keep our eyes peeled for the next batch then! I've heard that M&S ones are nice ones too.

I didn't manage to go to Aldi today but it looks like it might not be worth it

 

[janetelizabeth]

You're right...they were just a special. I'll let you know if I see them again.
