OV Slimming Club part 2

I have to say I could not eat batter[sick][sick][sick]if you paid me[sick][sick][sick] Not keen on savoury pastry either[sick][sick][sick]

I am having a very busy few days so just did an extra 30 mins on the treadmill doing intervals and eating the same lunch as yesterday chicken tikka pieces and yogurt mint dressing[msnsmile]

Red days are not very good when training as you need the complex carbs from a green day[msnscared]

Not sure about my meal tonight need to get to Sainsburys[msnwink]

Beautiful day again today[msnsmile2]

Julie

you may be better with the mix to max or success express, that way you'll get the extra carbs that you need

not sure about the figs they look like you peel them[msnscared] i am going to cut one in half and investigate!! i may get dh to try one first

i bought them to help keep me regular and they have the added bonus of being a speed food[msneek]

i ashamed to say that i have reached the grand old age of 37 and have never tried fresh figs, the only fig i've ever had is in a fig roll biscuit[msnembarrased]

i have just had a ham and egg salad for lunch and i'm planning on a chicken teryaki stir fry at tea time

catch you all later Mizzy[angel]

Hello everyone, flying visit to say I'm getting bigger daily.[:O]
Speak to you soon.

[LiesaAnna]

hope your having a great time Paul?

[mizzy]

thanks for the info on the figs Liesa

now for anyone else brave enough to admit that they wouldn't know one end of a fig from another here's what i did

i sliced the fig in half length ways and it's a little like a kiwi you need to remove the outer layer so i peeled it back and then got darling super brave husband to try his half first[msnscared] i waited for an age and then he pronounced it to be delicious [msnsmile2]

he had a good laugh at how scared i was, i took a tiny bite and it tasted lovely[clap]

so i peeled the other 3 and i had another one straight away and have saved the other 2 for suppertime[msnsmile2]

now who would have thought i'd be afraid of a fig[msnembarrased]

now i am really glad i gave it a go and will buy them again

Mizzy

[LiesaAnna]

Well never got to Waitrose all the gym, went shopping with ED to buy things for our new showroom at work, so hit Matalan & T K Maxx at Slough. Got a ton of stuff for each of the bays so £75 well spent!

On the way back, slight detour into M&S Food and I was soooo good, ignored all the wafting smells of cakes and bread, brought a ton of fruit, fish & chicken, salad etc. + pasta - theirs is the only dried pasta that does not bring on my IBS - v strange!

Am about ¾ of the way through typing up the 10 diet peeps, made me so hungry this am had to go off and have my lunch! Am trying a recipe from elsewhere in the mag for supper, chicken in a herby bake with potato wedges and salad - and then some of that fruit! Very hungry so will be off soon to start cooking.

Good evening ladies,

Well it all went well this afternoon, the dress fits lovely!....had a few tears with my mum, can't believe how emtional I am now feeling...wish my dad could have been here.

Had a lovely chicken stir fry for dinner followed by a fresh fruit salad.

Mizzy... I too have never tried figs either[msnembarrased][msnembarrased] and I'm a little older than you[msnwink]

Going to have a glass of wine tonight, the first since last Friday night[msnwink][msnsmile2]
