Today I had haloumi cheese and salad in wholemeal pitta breads for lunch. It was yummy

Stepped on the scales and no change yet though. To be fair, I haven't managed to exercise yet though!

Well I woke up late and just had some left over whole wheat pasta for lunch. I'm going out now in a bit to get some ingredients to make this for Renah & I:


Apple Squash Soup

1 tbsp of oil
1 onion
1 clove of garlic, chopped
3 lb of butternut squash, peeled and diced
1 sweet potato, peeled and diced (about 1lb)
2 apples, peeled, cored and diced
4 cups of unsalted chicken or vegetable stock
1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme or 1tsp tried
1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary or 1 tsp dried
1 tsp of salt (optional)
1/4 tsp of pepper (optional)
3/4 cup of homogonized. 2% milk to fat free carnation evaporated milk

1. Heat oil over med heat in a stock pan or large pot. Add onions & garlic and cook until soft.
2. Add squash, sweet potato and apples, stir to combine. Add next 5 ingredients. bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until squash is very tender
3. Puree soup. Return to low heat for 5 minutes to warm soup. Stir in milk. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary

I might make soup tomorrow Filling and not many calories if you omit potatoes and such. I'm a terrible eater I just pick at food and its always the wrong stuff. I've had a donut and a little kinder chocolate bar since 7am this morning and it's now 4.30pm

Making tuna pasta bake tonight which we'll have with crusty bread nom nom.

 

[jms895]

Can I join too please, I've only got 10lb to loose but I'm finding it really hard to shift. The first bit of baby weight melted away but the last half stone is clinging on for dear life....

Although perhaps my huge bowls of cereal, almost daily ice creams and choccy each evening aren't helping... I need some motivation!!!
I also need to tone my bum & thighs - tummy remarkably ok I don't quite understand how

Was 11st 8lb Top size 10, bottom size 14
Now 9st 10lb Top size 10, bottom size 12(-14)
Prepreg weight 9st 4lb Top size 8, bottom size 10
Target 9st (I was this for ages until just before I got preg) Top size 8, bottom size 8-10.
