Hope you are starting to feel better - big hug.
Hope you are starting to feel better - big hug.Meeting today and knew I wouldnt be able to eat unil 12.30 so had a spoon of peanutbutter on a cracker before I left the house. Turned out to be 1.30 and was ravenous!! Egg salad with 3 tiny pepperoni slices, then greek yog with walnuts.
Home to chicken thigh and stir fry veg and already in bed again with this rotten flu thingy
Sounds good hope it helped your gym trip. I was awake in early hours today there was a wild wind out there and thought about you and your early morning gym trips!Hi all.
More feasting today.
Breakfast - none
Lunch - bag of pork crunch, peperami, small bar Coop 85% chocolate. Need to sort out some better lunch options for when I haven’t planned to eat/am on the run.
Dinner - very decadent. Sea bass fillet with a portion of Asda broccoli and courgette rice (also has spinach in it). Saw it the other day and thought it was worth a try. Quite nice (although needs a lot of seasoning), with a bit of crunch - https://groceries.asda.com/product/default/2-steam-bags-broccoli-courgette-rice/1000005038850 - followed by a Lidl protein roll with almond butter and a small slice of chocolate olive oil cake with cream.
Should keep me well fuelled for my early morning gym visit in the morning.
I went totally downhill and was off today ill in bed. Thanks for the hug xxHope you are starting to feel better - big hug.
Take care you did the best thing it’s been so cold today wouldn’t have helped if you are poorly. I had several layers on but was physically shaking in the cold on barnsley and Sheffield railway stations think I’m missing my layer of fat insulation!I went totally downhill and was off today ill in bed. Thanks for the hug xx

Maybe the gym work is tightening the muscles I think that my Pilates helps to makes me slimmer in the middle and may be more important than weight as it’s how you look and feel well done you - but 4.15! What a star.Glad you survived your mum’s - sounds like you were well prepared.
Full of energy at the gym this morning - in by 4.15 am!! Have been hungry all day though. Skipped breakfast as usual. Ate lunch at Nando’s as I was working tonight attending an event and wasn’t sure what the food options would be. In the end there were a couple of good choices among the canapés: smoked salmon and creme fraiche (they were on little bits of bread, but easy to scoop the salmon off) and some chicken skewers - just avoided the dip. Then had a Lidl roll and chocolate olive oil cake with cream when I got home.
After 9 days of one meal a day, I’ve eaten so much this week. Would bet on having put weight on except that my belt feels like it’s about to go in another notch. Not sure what is going on!
Chocolate olive oil cake? Can I Google the recipe?Glad you survived your mum’s - sounds like you were well prepared.

Oh that's good - love a bit of Nigella. Love the way she talks about food.I was Googling it too. Nigella looks the best
Thanks. Gonna have a look now. Not that I'm keen or anything...It’s this one - just replace the sugar with a sweetener. I use erythritol.

My tin is a different size so I used this website to calculate the ingredients for my tin:

Sounds like muscle (or should that be feels like?)You might be right. Weighed myself today and am more than a kilo heavier than last Friday, but body fat percentage is the same.
You do need to build muscle for your future health and bet you are looking thinner which is the key rather than what it says on the naughty step!You might be right. Weighed myself today and am more than a kilo heavier than last Friday, but body fat percentage is the same.
