Morning all hope your all having a good day so far.
Jenn congrats on your 2lb. I weighed in and stayed the same..i have altered by weight to show the gain i had previously. Back on the wagon today though so i shall have a loss next week for sure, i had bran and sultanas for brekkie, home made soup for lunch, tea not decided what i fancy yet..might do a fish pie mash topped of course!. I also need to get a ticker but it doesn't sign me in to the ticker site thats on here..doesnt like me lol
Two of my kids broke up yesterday so bit late posting. arguing already aaarrrggghhhh!!!
anyway i'd beta go and get my soup out the freezer....butternut and carrot i think..yum x
The worst job in the world..i'd rather clean loo's lol
Thanks sweetie, well a maintain is good too...better than a gain right?
You choices sound nice....is the fish pie homemade? Have you tried having swede and carrots instead of potatoes? really nice on a fish pie. we make our with a luxury fish mix from the fishmongers...it normally has salmon, king prawns, haddock or cod, tuna and sometimes shark. We make it from scratch and add peas and sometimes sweetcorn and a fresh homemade sauce.....it makes enough for 4 adult portions and 4 kids portions ....so I buy the small aluminium take away containers from the store and store them in portions sizes....makes a great meal on the quick when you can't be bothered cooking. and we use either swede and carrot mashin....or sometimes mix sweet potato and white potato with a bit of spinach.....it is lovely!!
.
i really do detest ironing, don't much like cleaning loo's either that just shows how much i do dislike it.
I personally think that it might be better to wait a bit that way your band can settle in and you can see if you need any fills or not....it may be you can tell more by January....but good luck when you do go. I am also a pre-op bander....but I am sure need or mazza could give you a bit more info....and a few others....someone will comment soon.
Yes homemade fish pie, i do use a mix of sweet and normal spud. I'd eat the swede but no one else would, i like the idea of using spinach tho..i love the stuff. I have some swiss chard in the garden might shove a bit of that in the mash and see!.
Roast beetroot is a new one on me too, i grew my own this year and it's lovely. I also managed to grow a water melon was very small tho bless it. You can't beat growing your own.
I have done my housework and weighed again and was 1lb down but i'll keep my sts....this weight malarky does my head in
I like beetroot in salad...but I only like the raw stuff...and not the stuff in vinegar.....I hate vinegar...I only have it in the house to help with cleaning and the windows...*LOL* but other half like it.....he's a freak I tells ya!! *LOL*
The chard would be a good idea...just enough to help but not enough to trigger anyone to notice.... I put skimmed milk in my mash and a little bit of cream cheese ( extra light) instead of butter or half fat creame fraiche. But then again....As bad as it is I love a bit of butter...... Also cooked onions or chives are also nice in the mash....
Wow you grown your own...I would love to do that, but my dogs would eat anything before I ever get my hands on it. I have a HUGE garden....but no way of growing anything nice...even with a big boxed garden off the ground...cuz the visitor dog jumps on everything as well.....annoying little things......
I also found out from my new diet site that the hour (more like hour and a half) grocery shop I did earlier burned off 300 cals.....cuz i was pushing around a heavy trolly...*LOL* plus my house work...and this just makes me think that I am in starvation mode too which was why I am not really losing much, because I am only drinking the milk which isn't much in the way of calories.
freaky but kids loved it. My morning glory was beautiful....good job i'm female or i couldn't say that 
. The house was empty for 18 months so you can imagine the state the gardens were in. I love gardening it's good for my soul 
I dont mind at all and Im sure Rache wont. I was going to ask about meeting today because I know Sam works in Brum too but I dont usually get to go out to lunch when im working away from my office. Today was no exception - chained to my desk I was!!! tskkk
Im off all next week as its half term so Im free apart from Thursday when Im meeting an old school friend
Yes i love growing my own, this is my first proper go as only moved to this house last summer, but have grown in pots before.
I have a dog so i made 2 raised beds and put netting round she can't get in now. I grew courgettes green and yellow, cucumbers..crystal lemon...round balls..very nice and also normal marketmore. 4 different types of toms. patty pan and butternut squash, sweetcorn. spuds. carrots, parsnips, peas, strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, beetroot, spring onions, garlic, sprouts, broccoli, swiss chard, onions, red currants, cranberries, lettuce, radishes, bits still growing.
I also did lots of flowers we had some monster sunflowers one had 16 heads
