Hi Val - you are almost there! I can't get my act together since I returned from hols. I don't want to get up, go to work or do anything much at all! As for eating, well..... lots of junk. I must get my head together and follow your lead. I am also interested in the diet coke chicken thing as I don't much like any kind of meat unless it's buried under garlic, herbs, toms etc. This could be ok for me. Do you have plain rice?

Anyway, keep it up, you must be feeling great

hi :wavey: pomooky horrible isn't it when u can't get straight back into it after a hol, i'm away on the 10th sept for a week am going to try and stay on plan as much as i can i don't want to go putting loads back on like i usually do
here is the recipe for the diet coke chicken:

2x chicken breast (or pork,beef)
330 ml diet coke (1 can)
1 finely chopped onion
6 tbs passata or small can chopped tomatoes
splash soy sauce
splash worcester sauce
1tsp chinese 5 spice
1 oxo cube
METHOD
1-cut chicken into strips fry in frylight with the onion to seal the meat
2- add the coke, passata,oxo cube, sauces and leave to simmer for about 30 mins.
3- stir occasionally, when going slightly sticky stir in cooked noodles or serve with rice.

i didn't use the oxo or the worcester sauce in mine and i doubled the quantities of everything,and i added red peppers & spring onions to it. i cooked my strips of beef and bean sprouts in soy sauce & diet coke today was yummy :17729:lol
and yes i had plain rice.
i do feel really good now i got into a pair of 14 jeans this morning the last time i tried them on they came as far as my knees i went through my wardrobe and sorted out all my big clothes and took them to the charity shop and i went and had a spend up in primark (my fav shop) u get so much for ur money in there. and i'm finding i can wear styles now that didn't suit me when i was bigger yay
i hope u manage to get back into the right frame of mind x
love val xxx

looks like you are well on the way to losing that 1.5.. Your right about it being hard to get back on track after relaxing on holiday. I agree with you about not putting too much weight on though. Imanaged to have a lot of treats by doing a bit of juggling of calories and upping the exercise ..

 

[On The Way Back]

Keep it up, you don't have long till WI. Looks like you should get to target this week.

Finger crossed for you.

Thanks for your encouragement.

Wow Val - you're really going for it!!

Will try the diet coke chicken - thanks for the recipe. I am a hopeless cook 'tho. Do you think you could do this with prawns? (Like a chinese prawn thing?). I much prefer fish to poultry.

I'm awaiting a Tesco delivery and hopefully will have the ingredents for vegetable rice and ratatouille. I am really sick of salads and the weather up here is NOT summery.

Good luck on your mission!
