Jule i have some bad news for you the SE day yesterday is all to pot[msnscared] sorry to be the bearer[msnsad]

here's the problem if you can dig out the smaller of the two food optomising books (pg's 10 and 11) the pictures on here will be a great guide for you

during the day you have your usual two healthy A and B's and these can be eaten seperate like you poridge or as a side to your main meal or a snack in between meals

now with lunch yesterday you need some red food and green food on that 1/3rd of the plate that had the chicken tikka spices and then the other 2/3rds would be your super free foods (you could have had the chicken on a baked potato or with some rice)

same again with tea you needed to add something from the green to your tuna (perhaps some boiled new potatoes?) on that 1/3rd of the plate

to me it looks like your not eating both your healthy b's either which i know it's sounds trivial but your body does need them, this could be the reason your not losing, perhaps your just under that food intake that your body needs so it's hanging onto those fat stores[msnsad]

i hope you don't hate me for being the bearer of the bad news[msnscared] but i know how much you want this[msnsmile]

looking on the bright side of all this, apart from missing that healthy B yesterday was a super duper "red" day [angel][clap]

Mizzy thanks for this, I had a feeling it was the case, don't worry about being the bearer of bad news, I would rather know[msnwink]

At least it was a super red day though eh!![clap][clap][clap] I am happy with that[msnwink]

I will def make sure I have both my HC a+b's too, like Liz it was the b I was missing.

Thanks for keeping an eye on me, all feedback gratefully received[clap]

Sorry you couldn't get logged on last night but hope Jo is OK today[grouphug]

Paula what a shame about the weather, its the same here too[msnsad]

Janny I bet you feel good[clap] I am back into my cropped combats that I have not worn for two years too and its a great feeling, just want to get into the jeans from 10 years ago now[msnwink][msnwink]

Have a good day all despite the rain[msnsmile]

Oh I just love being able to get into clothes that you have never worn, it's such a good feeling - but what have you done to the sun Janny?

Had some good news yesterday after a bummer of a week at work (will explain all in due course) so had a takeaway chinese and 2 glasses of white wine. Hmmmmmmmmm.

Back on track today, will make some porridge after I have been out with the hounds, will have the remainder of the bulgher wheat salad for lunch, am stuck for suggestions for supper. We are off to see Santana at Wembley and will need to leave at about6, so I need to have something light ready for us to eat before we go. Any suggestions would be welcome, do have some tomato sauce from a tom pasta ready in the fridge so could always do that.

Good morning, logging on before taking our border collie off to agility class, good for her and me too.

Went to the quiz last night and did as Julie and Mizzy suggested had a meal before I went. I then had 1 1/2 glasses of red wine and nibbled on the salad and brought the cheese back for the dog, she really enjoyed it. We did fairly well at the quiz, came 9th out of 30 teams. Would have done better but we played our joker in our worst round, so instead of getting 20 points, only got 10, must do better next time.

Meals yesterday were cereal and rhubarb for breakfast, cold chicken and salad for lunch and then fish and salad for supper. Perhaps Mizzy can tell me if I am missing something.

Tonight is going to be difficult again. I am playing in a club tennis tournament between 5-7pm and then have to dash home, quick shower and be down at our sailing club for a do down here. No food provided but am not sure when I will manage to eat as we have to be there by 8pm. I think it will be a sandwish on the run.

Have a good day everyone.

By the way well done Janny, you really do feel good when you fit into clothes you have not worn for a while. I am looking forward to that.

Jill, sandwich on the run is where the trouble starts for me, its not eating enough syndrome so why not prepare something early and chill it ready for a quick heat up in the micro?? Spag bol is a good one, sub the spag for pasta shapes (wholemeal as HC b) put it all in a bowl then just re heat when you need it[msnwink]

I think a sandwich on the hop[msnwink] is why I gained 0.05lb last week.

I think its the reason I stayed the same too[msnwink] I felt unwell last Saturday and only had toast and cereal for tea[msneek] I feel on SW you need to eat proper meals[msnwink]

**mizzy** · 13-05-2006, 15:28

Jill most supermatket sandwiches/shop bought are very high in syns but you can keep the syns down by buying a butties that has wholmeal bread, use the bread as a healthy extra, go for chicken or lean meat and then the sandwich doesn't become too bad at all

the only downside like Julie says there's no "filling power" and you tend to feel hungry not long after eating it, adding some fruit and a yoghurt will help you stay fuller for longer[msnsmile]
your food diary for yesterday looks great and well done for staying in control at the quiz[clap]

the weather is bloomin awful here but the grass does look very green so at least thats a little compensation

i'm off to make some chicken kebabs for lunch[msntongue] nice and simple, cubed chicken breast chopped courgette, peppers, onion and tomato thread onto wooden skewers then sprinkled with spices (i'm using shotz cajun chicken one) takes a quick 20-25 mins in the oven, these are lovely on a barbie but unfortunately we aint got BBQ weather

Julie and Paula, I know what you say makes sense but I just will not have time to get home, shower, dress and get out again by 7.45 so it will have to be a homemade sandwich with cold meat and salad in it and perhaps an apple in the car on the way. I then probably will not want much to drink either, Brian thinks it is great me not drinking it means I do the driving. Now off to cook a steak for myself, hubby out sailing, and have it with salad. Would have liked a few potatoes with it but decided not to as I had cereal for breakfast and bread later so thought I should not.

Just back from dog agility and am feeling very pleased with Tansy, she is doing so well that she has been promoted to the advanced class next week. It means I shall have to do much more running with her as it will involve doing full courses and not just short ones. Also fewer dogs so more to do, all-in-all must be good from the exercise point of view.
