Thanks Cali, the whole thing just cracked me up. I haven't told anyone at work that I've been trying to lose (apart from two friends), up until now anyway!

Weekly Round-up
Weight
This week I lost 1.6lb. Since my weight has been futzing around this month, I'm only 1.2lb down from what I was 3 weeks ago. The monthly total/average next week is not looking good! But of course I'm pleased about my loss this week.
Goals
Have a week of 'good' days - achieved 4/7 days
Have good fats with every meal/snack - achieved 5/7 days
Continue the kitchen cupboard clearout - I got one cupboard cleaned out
I was at or below my daily calorie limit for 3 of the 7 days. On the other four days my 'overspend' ranged between 12 and 227 calories.
I drank a lot of water this week; there was only one day when I did not drink enough, and most days I drank more than 8 cups.

My goals for the coming week are:
Be at or under my calorie goal each day
Write up a list of quick standby meals and ensure ingredients are in the store cupboard
Sort through another kitchen cupboard to rid it of non-GI-friendly items

Congratulations on the weightloss!
Your goals sounds great. I need to get strict on low GI/GL too. You ladies are inspiring me

Plum, I think you've had a pretty positive week. Well done on the following:
- the compliment
- the weight loss :talk017:
- meeting your mini goals over at least and well over 50% of the time
- being around your calorie limit ( I class being over by 12 a success!) on most days :clap:
A great week.

Thanks Cali and Ashie! I have to admit last week's goals had too many things to keep track of, that's why I've gone a bit simpler this week!

Food looks really yummy today Plum. The nutty superfood salad sounds yummers! I want a M&S near me!
Your dinner sounds really yummy too, you had me at miso soup and fried rice. I love those two so much. You had a really exotic food day today

I'm going to try to recreate the salad myself, if I get a recipe together I'll post it!
(I often thank my lucky stars for M&S. It's not cheap but a godsend if you need something ready-prepared!)

I've not come across the nutty superfood salad - is this new ( I try to avoid M and S these days as their foods are so tempting) or is that what you call it?
Your food does look very yummy today, Plum. I love fried rice. That will be on the menu within the next couple of days

I hadn't seen it before either! Nutty super food salad is on the side, on the top it says nutty grain & vegetable salad. Really yummy with a soy/ginger dressing!

Well, Friday and Saturday went a bit wrong. Friday was going well until the evening. My best friend and I both had an awful day at work and wound up consuming FAR too much wine. Saturday was therefore a complete loss as well. By the evening I felt ok to eat something simple, so had miso soup, banana custard, wholemeal pasta with grated lowfat cheese, and yoghurt. (spread out over about 3 hours and consumed on a 'what could I eat now that wouldn't make me queasy' basis)
Getting back on plan today! Experimenting with a porridge-based American style pancake recipe this morning.

Pancakes SO GOOD! Have posted to the recipes forum along with the long-promised barley risotto and a bread machine recipe.
(mmmm. PANCAKES!!)
I'm giving myself a break from strict MFP food tracking today, we went out for lunch and although I made sensible choices I haven't got any idea of how to log it so am taking a day off! But not going mad and eating everything in sight, just not tracking.

Food today has been an attempt to get back on track. I realise that breakfast sort of belies that statement but I think they were pretty healthy pancakes, as pancakes go. We had lunch out because we were shopping.
Breakfast: oaty pancakes. PANCAKES! yum. with lean bacon and 2 pork and apple sausages and a glass of milk
Lunch: mushrooms stuffed with cream cheese and crab, side salad and a few french fries with ketchup (for the lycopene!)
Snack: oatcakes with peanut butter and apple butter
Dinner: kamut penne with homemade bolognese sauce, a sprinkle of parmesan and steamed veggies, plus some garlic stuffed olives beforehand
Snack: Booja Booja ice 'cream' - I'm excited to try this, it's made out of mostly nut milk and agave syrup plus flavourings. We picked up two flavours (maple pecan and a chocolatey one) so I hope it's not disgusting!!

Food sounds really good today. The pancakes and the ice cream sound really good, plus they're all low gi which is a bonus. Maple pecan sounds really really yummy

The ice cream stuff was pretty tasty actually! Not 100% like dairy and a bit of cashew 'undertaste', but much richer than, for example, the vegan Swedish glacé we get here.

I also recommend kamut pasta if you ever see it. Higher in protein than normal wheat and an interesting nutty flavour!

So, really struggling with stress/motivation today which is making me not hungry at all. Been having a difficult time at work and it's all kind of coming to a head today/tomorrow. I guess it's better to not feel hungry than to want to eat everything in the world? Which is what used to happen to me.
