Well, I am happy to say that my meal at the mexican restaurant did not cause me to gain weight. I did not lose weight either, but I wasn't really expecting to. My goal for today will be to resist the further temptations that will be around as my relatives brought lots of chocolaty goodies with them and will be cooking comfort food for lunch and dinner. This also wasn't a great time to get my new issue of Food Network Magazine in the mail, lol.
Saturday today, hurrah, woke up feeling really tired and a bit down because I had bread last night - yes, wheat does affect how I feel, it's really strange.
Breakfast: Yoghurt with some lovely local honey I got at the farmer's market in town a few weeks ago.
Lunch: Quorn escalope with mushroom and cheese topping, baked beans, cup of hot chocolate and another slice of my gluten-free ginger cake.
Dinner: Tonight, I am making my family's favourite 'bad' food - chicken curry with rice. And because we've all had crap weeks, we're having the naught version... made with CREAM instead of fat free yoghurt. Quite frankly, I think we deserve it!
Sigh .6 weight gain last night. figured I would though. SO thought to surprise me and brought home fast food. We do it so rarely and he was so pleased with himself. I ate only half of what he brought, told him I was full....but I wasn't surprised I gained.
roxanne, I'm sorry about your gain but I'm sure it's water weight and will be gone in no time. And great job only eating half the fast food, that's very impressive!
abidabbi, I hope your lungs get to feeling better so you can get back to the gym. What is wheetabix if you don't mind me asking?
I hope everyone is having a great Saturday! We are just being lazy at home, still in our jammies and it is wonderful! About to head to my mom's for dinner but here's my today:

What a day! Busy with my relatives, but I did not give into the yummy food! Tonight I've had bad bout of depression and my husband just called and offered to bring home fast food after work to cheer me up. I resisted- but man, it was sooooo hard. My HMR shakes are starting to get hard to stomach. They are delicious, but I don't crave sweets. I want a baked potato shake, hehe. This has been a hard day, but at least I can say that I did not give in. I'm DYING to see that magical 1 on the scale.

Today was a so so day for me. I did pretty good with the eating part, but I did barely any exercise. I did 6 hours the day before so I was completely sore. It was extremely painful to walk and as a result I only did necessary walking (taking my dog potty) and some bodyweight exercises for my upper body. Hopefully I'll be less sore tomorrow.
fashin - hiya, thanks for the well wishes Wheetabix is a breakfast cereal, like a wheat biscuit thing about the size of a mobile phone that is yummy and low in fat and cals but really filling Best way I can describe them hehe but my favourite go to food when I'm really hungry but want to keep low on the cals Your menu sounds scrummy!
Shell - you'll get there, at least you're underestimating rather than under, which means you can be eating a little more rather than having to cut things out
Diana, Nicole, Penguin -
Raven - well done for resisting babe, I bet it won't be long till you reach onederland, I can feel it
cammie - gosh, 6 hours, wow! It sounds like you needed a day of lighter stuff to recover. You're doing great keep it up
As for me...
B - wheetabix x2 toast x2 (400)
L - going to have some snacks at the cinema...snackajacks (100), maybe a cereal bar (200) and a drink (0) was going to have popcorn but just looked up the cals and freaked myself out enough to not want it anymore!
D - something about 500, something like soup and toast
Total -aiming for 1200-1300
About to head to my mom's for dinner but here's my today:
