Ok well I get 39 points per day. Meals today were:

Breakfast (5)
Small bowl of special k - 4
with skimmed milk - 1

Lunch (11)
Toasted cheese sandwich - 6
Mint club - 3
Walkers French fries - 2

Snack (6)
Cup a soup - 3
Bread - 3

Dinner (14)
Jacket potato with cheese and spaghetti - 14
Apple - 0

Total is 36 points today. You should have all 39 but as I am going out for dinner at the weekend I'm being good in advance. I like that I can still have bread and cheese. Wouldn't usually have a snack but I've been working until 8 and get too hungry without it!

Thanks for posting your meals I just love learning from other people (pinching ideas) as its so easy to keep on having the same meals (thats my thing ) and working until 8 you certainly need a snack.

Menu of the day:
Cornflakes and all bran (300 calories)
Garlic sausage salad sandwich with a weight watchers lemon yoghurt (300 calories) followed by a Crunchie biscuit (90 calories)
Cambridge diet vegetable chilli (285 calories) Strawberries and a Weight Watchers strawberry mousse (75 calories)
2 oatcakes (104 calories)
As I still have the tooth problem but not as bad now its hard to eat 1500 calories being on the maintenance but will get some more calories in over the weekend.

I'm working until 6 hence it will be a 2 mile brisk walk after my dinner before it gets dark and then a go with the ripcords which I haven't a clue what I'm doing with but as I don't want an injury I will be careful.

Good luck with the weigh in Biggins this morning What are everyone's plans for the day? Have fun

Just in from a walk into town and round the shops. Weighted myself this morning and found I had lost a lb! Happy to be hopefully on the way down again and not on the way up!!! Must get a few more pounds lost before the end of October when I am due back at the diabetic clinic.

Hi everyone,

Lovely to read what everyone's been up to. I must say, you are a very dedicated bunch :) well done with all your exercise, healthy eating regimes and weight loss.

Preston - I was very sorry to hear about your freezer problems. How frustrating for you. Once you get it sorted, do you know that lots of supermarkets price their food at 90% off around 7.30/8pm? You could re-stock your freezer quite cheaply this way. I went to Tesco last night like this and got bread, meat, fruit, veg all priced between 3p-15p!! So you don't end up spending very much at all.

I'm thinking of going for a swim with the boyfriend today, either that or staying indoors (as I went out yesterday - his Mum's a jazz singer and we went to her gig in the afternoon :) I often try to have a day indoors if I've been out the day before.

I quite enjoy my time indoors though - (often I can't go out cos of pain). I make my own greetings cards, make cushions, I also make Christmas gift cards for charity every year (I made £10 two years ago, £20 last year; & have already sold £6 worth this year!). I also always have lesson planning to do, & I'm a music teacher so I'm always thinking of new songs I could teach.

If I do stay in today, might try a little of my exercise dvd and weigh myself on my bathroom scales (......deep breath!).

I was teaching again last week (1st week of the new Autumn term),  & Tuesday was the 9/11 anniversary. The whole school observed a 2 minutes silence. Unfortunately, the class teacher of who i was with at the time hadn't made the children aware of this and of the meaning behind it. I started to explain what happened, one child said "is it to do with the war?" after I'd explained it to them briefly (trying not to scare their 7 year old little minds), they were silent for the 2 minutes. I told them it had been on tv at the time, shown all over the world as it was "big news, it was a tragedy". A girl pointed to the tv in my music room and said, "can we watch it?" I realised, it happened before they were born so they wouldn't truly understand what happened. At the end of the lesson, a pupil came up to me and said "Miss, the plane that crashed into the tower - was it a jet or were there people inside it?" when I told him, he looked so concerned, bless him. It's hard being a teacher at times like that!!

I started keeping a little book a few years ago, a notebook titled "the things they say". My favourite was an 8 year old child, about 3 years ago. He said, "Miss Barrett, you're the best teacher I've ever had in my entire school career!" I'll never forget that one

Sorry I've digressed so much off the topic thread!!

Have a good day everyone x

What a lovely post ClareBarr and its not off topic as by reading your post it gave me a lovely warm feeling as you are obviously in a good place. You are being positive and creative when you are giving your body a rest plus pacing yourself with the exercise, I loved the story re the little boy that is so sweet. Enjoy your swim/dvd/card making and I'm happy that you're happy.

As I've no plans for the weekend I haven't got my meals sorted as yet - I am so much better on limited time
Just had peanut butter on toast for breakfast (400 calories - that was just one roll but the peanut butter is loads ) I went to bed far too late last night - OH got a lift home from bowling and the couple stayed until early hours hence I'm not even dressed yet which is so not me. Good luck everyone

[ClareBarr]

Thanks Diane :) and don't worry that you're not dressed yet - it's the weekend! Have a relaxing day x

Thank you - I'm a bit rubbish at relaxing I like to be out and about or doing something to use up my energy
