Rach's Weight Loss Diary

Was gonna ask how you made the chicken & leek & potato gratin?
But you arent making it!

xx

My mum wanted to make potato gratin in France so I told her par boil the sliced potatoes, mix together milk and cream, pour over layered potatoes then bake on 4 for an hour (I made it up, I couldn't remember if that was right). Anyway, she put crème fraiche in the trolley thinking it meant fresh cream, so I went off to try and find some fresh cream.. no idea, ended up with natural yoghurt but didn't realise until after we ate the gratin and it was really nice. I will try that again for a healthy alternative and you can add whatever you want to it. Onions, mushrooms, thyme.. nutmeg goes well. Garlic. Etc etc.

Hi Rach. Kill those squatter pounds! you'll be in bikini mode in no time flat

 

[blackwidow]

cheers guys Charly, am thinking i'll make the gratin tomorrow

i am sat reading Matty's Mens Health magazine and while being appauled at the picture of a woman with white liquid dripping from her mouth down her face and onto her chest with the byline 'She's a fantastic lait' in relation to one of the tips about drinking milk, theres 100 tips on how to lose weight.. so of course i HAD to read it

apparently the best breakfast is melon followed by eggs - the eggs even break down the melons carbs.. and if you eat chilli con carne once a week, theres an enzyme in kidney beans which tells the body to break down stored fat instead of carbs for energy while mince boosts your metabolism.. and you should choose spinach (so Jess will be pleased ) above other greens as it has double the fibre which helps you process fats more efficiently

theyre just a few.. cant be bothered to type them all but theres some good ones!

also, there was buggar all point in going to the gym.. i forgot my water, my card and my towel so literally did 10 squats, 3 x 12 tricep presses and 3 x 12 pull ins and thats it LOL.. suppose its better than nothing but just didnt want to get sweaty and not be able to wipe down my machine cause thats minging!

Tea's in atm, and it smells lush

 

[Kitteh]

they say the best lunch to have too is soup! it keeps you fuller longer funny enough..
How was the gym??

[blackwidow]

..i am going to get told off by Charly in a min cause she will be horrified that i went out with hairy legs on show hahahaha

 

[Kitteh]

[Jax123]

[Kitteh]
