have a fabby one sweetheart. Hope you are feeling alot better :bighug: xxxxxxx

 

[thefinalcountdown]

Thanks, both of you. I'm feeling better, but my voice is still AWOL. My flatmate found it funny yesterday, I kept going from sounding like a chipmunk to then sounding like a dirty old man when I laugh. My sister told me today that I sound like I could get a job on a sex phoneline. So, it's highly amusing for everyone else, but annoying for me, and it hurts if I try and speak any louder than a whisper.

Oh well, I'm in bed with a lemsip with honey in again, and hopefully it will be better tomorrow. Today has been lovely, we do Christmas with my Mum's side on Christmas eve, so I've eaten lots, got lovely presents and had lots of laughs with my family.

I'm staying at my Dad's tonight so will be here for breakfast then off to my Auntie's for dinner, so lots more food tomorrow, more presents and family fun too, although it's very different with my Dad's side!

Hope you all have a lovely Christmas too xxxx

I'm back! Weigh in was last night and I'm pleased to report that over Christmas I managed to get away with only gaining 1lb, which I'm very happy with! I was never really bad, I only had what I wanted and never had more than one helping, and no snacking in between meals, but still haven't been on plan for at least a week and a half, so I'm very pleased. I got my new pack last night too, we're now allowed more of certain foods as healthy extras, and there are a few other changes, so will be going through that later.

I got lots of lovely things for Christmas, lots of clothes, which are all size 14 and fit perfectly, I was so happy! My Mum bought me a food processor, which I've been using this morning, have made some wholemeal bread dough that I'm going to make into rolls when it's risen, and have been shopping this morning and bought lots of lovely healthy food, so am 100% back on plan as of today.

Here's today's food plan:

Breakfast
35g fruit & fibre (HexB)
Grapes (free)
Vanilla mullerlight (free)

Lunch
Carrot & coriander soup (free)
Home-made wholemeal roll (HexB)

Haha, I am definitely back. 2 days 100% back on plan, and lots of healthy soups made. Had to fit the tomato one in somewhere, and breakfast seemed like the best option :giggle:

Magic porridge is really easy, you do it the night before. Weigh an your HexB of porridge oats into a bowl and mix in a mullerlight, cover with clingfilm and put in the fridge overnight. When you get up in the morning it's ready, magic! Strawberry magic porridge is the same, just done with a strawberry mullerlight.

Lentil and mushroom loaf: 1HexA per quarter of the loaf. Freezes well, I divide it into portions and freeze it.

Ingredients
125g dried green lentils
250g mushrooms, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 egg, beaten
112g mature cheddar, grated (keep 28g of this to one side for topping)
1 tsp marmite
1 tsp dried mustard powder
Pinch mixed herbs
Salt & pepper

Method
Boil the lentils for 20 mins and drain. Meanwhile fry the onion, garli, and mushrooms in frylight until cooked. Mix everything in a bowl (apart from cheese for topping). Spray the inside of a loaf tin with frylight and pour in the mixture. Sprinkle cheese on top and bake at 200°C for 30 mins.
