11th Aug 2019 – wonderful weekend, fairly healthy food.

Ok, confession first! There was a handful of chippy chips and half a spring roll, yes bad, BUT it was just a handful of chips, and it was just a half a spring roll! So yes bad, bad, bad… but it was better than what I would have had, I would have eaten to excess and had loads more chips with bread and butter and as much battered fish as possible!

Confession over, let’s get to today. Once monsters had eaten, and had been forced into bathroom for the apparently nasty morning wash, we, as in us two adults, had five bean baked beans on toast. Didn’t enjoy it so much today, I think it should be limited to once at weekend and mushrooms on the other day.

And lunch, really pleased! Salad, healthy spuds, brown rice and pasta, beef, healthy homemade quiche, beef, natural nuts – nothing salted/roasted, oven baked crisps, veggie sausages, wholemeal rolls (spread with olive spread) those are the healthy/healthier things, then a small bowl of cheesy bites, one small Bakewell tart and 12 cupcakes – there were a fair few family members round, wasn’t just a couple.

Here’s the link to crustless bacon and mushroom quiche- very easy, very tasty! http://bestslimmingworld.com/bacon-and-mushroom-crustless-quiche/

And now the other has taken monsters home, oldest niece has gone home, daughter has gone home, in laws have gone home, I’ve tidied our home back to normality, and am now relaxing with a Pepsi max as I write this blog. Although I still have half a glass of wine on the table 🤣 I’ll probably throw it away in a bit… probably!

Exercise, hmmmm, well older monster wanted to play steps, so I have done one lot of the step routine. It’s very disconcerting when an eight year old says she’s worn out by the playing the step game and then demanding to play it again! The other half did a session with her, and then she did them on her own 🤣😂🤣

I’m counting all the cooking and cleaning as exercise, without even a thought of guilt!

Anyway, here’s hoping to a nice quiet evening and an early night!

Goodbye fair folk!

  1. No point beating yourself up about your naughty foods. I have planned ‘days off’ the program. On that day I’ll have stuff that I’ve really missed and craved, usually bread in some form, even if it’s just toast, or a couple of toasted sandwiches. My last day off my partner and I went to a cafe and I had a couple of cappacinos and a muffin. A home made hamburger for dinner. My next day off will be when I’ve lost another 10 kilograms. I’m thinking some fish and chips. I know not the best diet food, but for one day I allow those sort of treats, but don’t go the whole hog and buy bags of potato chips, or a couple of blocks of chocolate etc. The very next day I’m back on track again.

      1. It gives me something to aim for, and look forward to. I think as long as you don’t gorge yourself silly on junk food one day off isn’t going to hurt. Of course you have to be strong enough to get back on track the next day. In the past I failed at this. One day off would turn into 2, which turned into 3…… you get the drift.
