Ooh Grease with the tv people in it?

Only 20p!!!! makes you wonder what is was made of :yikes: :lol: mmmm i'd have had half of the merangue nest thing :T to use up the 200cals hehe. It was nice of him to think of you :love:

Exercising yesterday and decided to have another go on mini-tramp :rolleyes: only been on the thing a couple of minutes when "CRUNCH" AAAARGH!! it felt like the vertebrae in my lower back had compressed about an inch :cry: I was frozen in pain and hobbled off to plonk myself face down on the bed :faint: thought it was a hospital job for a minute :faint: I managed to get up and have been whincing ever since :( getting old sucks :nono:

How are you doing Veggie? :wave:

I forgot to post this :rolleyes: I've been looking a lot at Dr Mehmet Oz and Dr Mike Roizen. They have been featured on tv a lot lately and they were on Oprah the other day but I think it was a repeat, anyway it was interesting and this really lazy woman that used to tie the dustbins to the back of her vehicle and drag it to the curb :lol3: was on and she lost 43lbs. I can't remember how long it took but they basically threw everything out of her kitchen and told her to focus on wholegrains and 'real' food. I found this recipe on their website :T there are some really good recipes on there ;) i'm going to try this one:

1 large red pear
1/2 cup white wine (high quality)
6 ounces frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed, or 1 cup fresh raspberries
1 tablespoon mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1-1/2 tablespoons coarsely chopped pistachios, toasted

Heat oven to 400F. Cut pear in half; remove core with a melon baller or metal measuring teaspoon. Arrange pear halves, cut side down, in a shallow baking dish. Pour wine over pears. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until pears are tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Meanwhile, puree raspberries in food processor; strain and discard seeds. Transfer roasted pears to serving plates, cut sides up; sprinkle chocolate chips over the pears (the heat of the pears will melt the chips). Combine pureed raspberries and liquid remaining in baking dish in a small saucepan. Cook over high heat until sauce is slightly thickened. Spoon sauce over and around pears; sprinkle with pistachios. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Hi Cat so while it's cooking can you drink a glass of the high quality wine?

Waste not want not ;)

Watch your back doesn't sound too good if you were in that much pain!!!

:wave: I'm ok. ;) :wave:

Don't know about that Clydegirl :lol: come to think of it i've never seen a RED pear :dizzy: have you? well, maybe after a few white wines :lol3:

Wow Veggie :eek: look at your stats!! 46lbs gone :yikes: Well Done :cp: are you still doing Slimming World? think i'll look at that jigsaw diet and see what that is all about ;) is it prepackaged foods? I was just reading about someones stuff being lost in the post. If its prepackaged its not for me.

In agony here and getting no sympathy from 'im indoors :lol: did'nt help that I moved our Maple dining table outside yesterday (for me to refinish) :rolleyes: the bugger weighs about 250lbs!! but I was sick of waiting for 'im to help me so of course I did it on my own. Even he could'nt believe it :yikes: suffering big time now so intend to have an easy walk on :tread: then take it easy rest of day :D i'm scared of that bloody tramp now :eek: don't know if i'll ever set foot on it again :lol3: might sell it now :shrug:

I'm back from Italy, having consumed lots and lots of good food and drink.

But the big news is that I bought some shorts from Gap on Saturday - in SIZE 8 :faint: (US 4!!!) I swear that they're not actually that size, but I couldn't believe it when I tried them on and they actually fit. I don't think it will ever happen again mind you!

:cp: Well done miss skinny! :D :bravo:

I read your blog, all that food sounds wonderful. Dribble! :drool: And not at all too unhealthy.

I find Gap sizes are skimped, so you must really be a size 6!!!! :faint: ;)

Look after your back cat - you've only got one!

Wow it's the last day of the month!!Yeah my boo is coming back in like one week hopefully. I miss him sooo much, havent been on the scale but ive been waking up feeling lighter. I really wanna throw the scales out doh. Not getting on there till Monday.

YP1- that is fantastic size 8 you go girl!!

cat90-your must be eating some right stuff der for you to be moving dem tables and stuff.

I'm back from a week in the sun, perfect weather, great beaches, I'm all tan!!!

Best news is I didn't gain any weight, not quite sure how that happened but I'll take it. I feel like I ate a lot, but I also walked a ton, probably 15 miles a day. Walking in those little towns you don't really feel like you're exercising but I guess you are. I only ran once, and was planning on running later today but I'm exhausted so I think I'll get back at it tomorrow.

Only 2 more days and I'm back to school :( Not ready for those students just yet.

Well Done redsoxgirl :)

Slimming, I won't be moving that damn table again :lol:

I've been a real couch potato last few days :rolleyes: feeling sorry for myself and my poor old back :lol: its a bank holiday today if it stays dry and it looks a bit iffy we're going to the Speedway to watch Kyle race. We did'nt go to watch him the last time and he won :lol: its better now because they've put a beer garden in :cheers: :lol: so you know where we'll be ;)
