Hi ladies
Felling much more positive today ,have had my hair done which cheered me up ,yesterday is gone and today I will get back on the pep as it would be nice to get pretty close to target for our wee get together on 15th March.I have a hen night on Saturday so will be trying to save some checks for that.
Todays menu
Breakfast
Oatso simple -5 checks
Banana
Elevenses
cerreal bar 3 checks
Lunch(planned)
chicken wrap with mango chutney-10 checks
yoghurt-edb
Tea
Don't know yet but have taken steak medallions out of freezer ,so steak n something or other ,will have to look at books.
Have a good day
Di

glad you are feeling better today di nothing like getting your hair done to perk you up eh?

like the sound of your wrap at lunchtime mmmmm

I'm down to 40 checks now which i find a struggle so instead of having edb i am adding thier check value to total checks making 48 checks then i just count everything in its a bit daft but it makes me feel like i am getting more and if i am having something with higher checks i can accomodate it better .................

anyway todays menu

oatabix 6 checks
made with water

usual cheese ham and onion toastie 13 checks
handful of grapes 2 checks

banana 4 checks

sirloin steak 10 checks
potato wedges 8 checks
broccoli free

total of 45 checks

Hi Dawn
Have managed to come in on 40 checks today.
Had the steak n onion marmalade with 100 g of chips for tea-16 checks-not too different to your tea.
Have also had a couple of ginger biscuits-4 checks and two tangerines-2 checks.
Don't know how I would cope with 40 checks every day,it doesn't give much leaway for saving for the weekend.
So start of new week and 5 checks saved for hen night.
Have a good day tomorrow.
Di

good luck wee chickens xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi peeps,

well done Diane on being back on track, heres to a good week for you, glad youre feeling a bit better.

Dawn well done on being on track too, yeh 40 checks is a bit restricting but like the way you are coping with it, mind tricks eh.

Hi pjc stick in threre too, the 3 of you will soon be targets again.

I managed to put on a 1lb tonite but not too bothered as still below official target, stick with same checks this week and see what scales say next week.

Bye for now
