Nadia B Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I hope the new page will start soon on your log, because I open the thread, see chorizo and forget what I wanted to write. Lol. Oh I came back for green beans recipe. Just when I said I am not paying this much for beans and used my olives/sundried tomatoes - reduced to clear. Duuuuh. Two giant bags for 1$. Now I have to buy more olives. What a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derval Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Thursdays log 7.15am - 2 boiled eggs, roast beef slices rolled up with sun dried tomatoes. Went to a new health food store today and got almond butter , Go Kombucha - €7 for a 750ml bottle, same price as the wine I get ! and new magnesium tablets - derived from mineral salts, the ingredients list is pleasantly short compared to my Holland & Barrett ones! Then the day took a dive self-control wise, I had talked myself out of a nakd bar and a cappucinno at the shops but when I got home my free graze box had arrived. I mustn't have filled out the likes/dislikes in time because one of the packs was 3 mini honey flapjacks - which I ate 2 out of 3 of them.....another pack was spicy peanuts and breadsticks but I have left that for dh.. 12.30pm - plate of yummy fats sardines, avo, sundried tomatoes, cucumber sticks, and the yummiest eggplant (tossed with evoo & balsamic then baked), olives. A glass of kombucha - my first booch experience, I like it! 3.30 pm The kids started fighting as soon as they got in the car froms chool & by the time we got home I was . So I hid in my room with a decaff cm coffee and another graze box portion - nuts & dried cranberries. Operation bikini bombed today 5.30pm - bolegnase on zoodles & spinach, bit of parm. Send me strength, really need to lose a few pounds over the next 2 weeks or I'll be busting out my holiday wardrobe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan W Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Me thinks you are freaking yourself out. I totally get it...but stop. You are stressing yourself out which only makes things worse. I can't wait to hear from you by about day 3 in Spain. All relaxed, happily eating Tapas and long naps in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Simpson Thumann Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Stop stressing woman! You already look great! I just can't drink Kombucha, I've tried.. no thanks! I have to ask, why do you take magnesium? What are the benefits? And another thank you for moneysavingmom.com... that site has kinda turned my life around in some areas and that's a good thing.

Susan W Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Oh those kids. I remember people warned me about the teen years. My daughter was still cozy, snuggly and hung on my and my husbands every word at age 13. In her 14s, the aliens came down from Mars and left Crabapple McNasty in her place. She lived with us until her 20s. Jessica was then returned to us. Phew!! Eggplant curry with lamb was awesome!!! I have two eggplants all stuffed and ready to go for round 2. :0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
