What a Surprse!

In 2 weeks Ive only gained 2lbs.  Not bad considering Ive had 10 days off plan and been on my hols.

So now its back on plan.  I think I can get a bit complacent so Im going to re-read my books and browse the new mag for ideas, hints and tips.

Im thinking I may even follow the 7 day menu plan, easy when all the planning is done for you, plus you can mix days up which I like.

Look at this (from the website) for 1 day

Fruity porridge:
Make a bowl of porridge using 28g/1oz porridge oats and milk from your allowance (250ml semi-skimmed or 350ml skimmed). Top with loads of sliced banana and fresh chopped apricots and tuck in. Follow with peppered grilled mackerel fillets or heaps of lean grilled bacon with poached eggs (enjoy some brown sauce or tomato ketchup on the side, if you fancy: 1 Syn per level tablespoon).

Jacket with beans and coleslaw:
Split a large baked potato (or two!) and spoon oodles of baked beans in tomato sauce over the top. Make up a delicious side of coleslaw by mixing shredded white cabbage, carrot, celery and slivers of red onion with very low fat fromage frais and mustard powder. Enjoy chopped fresh fruit for dessert, topped with a generous dollop of very low-fat natural yogurt!

Spaghetti Bolognese:
Top a mound of cooked spaghetti with lashings of rich Bolognese, made by frying an onion in Fry Light, adding extra lean mince, chopped tomatoes, chopped or grated carrot, celery, crushed garlic and dried oregano, seasoning with salt and black pepper and simmering for 10-15 minutes.

Seems like a lot of food, doesnt it, but the plan does work if you follow it, which I havent been for a few weeks.........but thats all about to change...............
