Marie, pleased to hear the pain is easing a bit and you have had a good day today too![msnsmile]
Not a bad day today for me [msnsmile2] I had beetroot, salad and soya burgers for tea, coffee and then a couple of small whiskey and cokes (I did weigh the whiskey!!!) so just 5 syns today!
Weigh in Tuesday and I have a busy day tomorrow so no time to think about snacking!!
Not too bad today but more difficult as we were out.
Breakfast: Jordans Fruit and Nut Muesli with skimmed milk
Lunch: 2 small pizza slices and apple
Evening: Salad followed by yogurt.
Drinks: Green tea, 1 black coffee and Horlicks light at bedtime.
Hope the hand is feeling better Maria[msnsmile]
Sandra glad to hear the crick is better and hope the baths are helping.[msnsmile]
Hope the bed rest has helped Paula and you are feeling better[grouphug]
Brenda, it is always more difficult when you are out. The trick is to make good choices. At class they will help you with some tips on the kind of things to choose - i.e. a tomato based sauce with pasta rather than a creamy sauce. Drier curry rather than a very saucy one with lots of oil. Thin crust pizza. Jacket potato or new potaotes over chips. A lot of restaurants now will also hold the butter on veg/new poatoes when they serve them if you ask at the time of ordering. All very obvious really and I'm sure your consultant will know lots of tricks to help you! We don't eat out very often but I'm sure others will have more tips for you.
Paula hope you are feeling a lot better today. [grouphug]
Thanks for the tips Frances. We went to a pizza place that had very few other choices on the menu. The pizza was a thin base, with tomato, goats cheese and spinach. The portions were quite small as they were 2 triangles from an 8-inch base.
This morning - Oats so Simple plus one piece of toast with jam
Lunch - Green salad with half a tin of tuna in brine.
I think I am going to do steamed white fish with steamed vegatables for dinner tonight.
I have one question: I buy ordinary yogurts like the Yeo Valley organic ones - are they OK or should I be choosing something with reduced fat? I like their greek style with honey or the fruit ones.

Frances, I am so sorry to hear this.[grouphug] It is going to be a difficult time, particularly with a family, but try and keep positive as often there is something better on the horizon.
Thank you Brenda, I'm trying to find a positive side but it's hard at the moment!! Hopefully it will lead to something better [msnsmile]
so sorry to hear your news Frances, i know it's hard at the minute but stay positive and something better might just be around that corner[grouphug]
