Be Good To Yourself - Part 1

[stabard]

Hi All - remember me [msnsmile2][msnsmile2][msnsmile2]

Well I am back after a fab Christmas and a trip to Florida from which we returned on Sunday.
Went to class today and I have gained 5lbs [msnsad] However I am OK with this as I am pretty sure that at least 2lbs was the clothes I was wearing[msnwink] and the rest was a just having a wonderful time in the sun [msncool]

anyway I have been to the shops today and stocked up and will be back on track this week.
Food today has been
Jacket and beans with salad
Muller light
tonight I am attempting a shepherds pie made with quorn ( wish me Luck)

Well Done Mizzy - hope to match it or better next week [msnwink]

Hi Everyone,

Just catching up with the topic now we are settled in Florida! We arrived Friday and went up to New York for 2 nights but back now and ready to enjoy some Florida sunshine!

Julie pleased to hear you have had your op - hope it is not too painful. I like the idea of your new hoover - lol !!

Fiona - hope you are having fun in Florida too [msnsmile2] Our plants have suffered in the frost too and we have one plant that is and has always struggled, so tme for drastic action!!

Mizzy - I love shepherds pie - might try the recipe with meat substitut (as I'm a veggie).

It has been hard for me the last few days. We had to eat out in New York and it is hard to find veggie options in the restaurants! However I think I did quite well and had lots of omelets!! and a lovley vegetable platter in the Pigale restaurant, hot veggies on shredded salad with mash potatoes. Walked miles and not at a snails pace either (mores the pity according to my feet - lol!!) anyway back at villa so hoping to do better - no children with us this time so we don't need to fill the cupboards with snacks!!

Hope everyne has a good day!

[mizzy]

Julie, hope you are feeling a little better today [grouphug] take the recovery nice and easy and do as you are told mrs, or else [msnsmile]

Fiona and Frances hope you are enjoying the sun, it's bitterly cold and very wet here on the north east coast brrrrrrr
