  • Lunch: lentil salad with lettuce, sweet potato, cucumber and pepper, topped off with some Cashew nuts. (It was nutritious but very high in calories... probably due to the dressing I put on it! Was still under my calories for today though!) Dinner: rice with black beans, edamame, broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, and hot…

  • Lunch was a mishmash of everything left in the fridge..... broccoli, sweet potato, some salsa sauce, and a lonely veggie burger. It did the job. Snack was cherry tomatoes, cucumber humus and crackers. Tonight for dinner I made an “African” peanut soup. Courgette, carrot, onion, garlic, ginger, tomato paste, stock, peanut…

  • I am intrigued. What foods have nickel in them? I am also quite sure I would have that as jewellery used to make me itch and give me hives, much better since the EU banned it in jewellery but my boyfriend bought me a necklace outside the EU last year and I can’t wear it.... so I’m guessing it’s nickel. Never even thought…

  • My sisters wedding in July, I’m bridesmaid, then the boyfriend and I are going to Aruba, sun sea and more sun, so I don’t want to look like a whale on the beach. So hoping to lose another at least 25lbs by mid July. That would be perfect as it pretty much puts me into a healthy BMI as well. Yay.

Plus my sister moved her wedding date from October to July (urgh!) so although I won’t be at my…

I had some chocolate but instead of eating a huge 100-150g bar of milk chocolate, I ate a smaller 40g dark chocolate bar from a raw vegan company that uses no added sugar in their products. I damn near searched the whole city for something that…

  • @justlog that IS a good question. For me it’s to stop at 2 drinks. 2 I think is fair, most people rarely go out for just one, but two you can make last a while, and people won’t encourage you to drink more if you have two rather than one. I feel like I’ve had some alcohol, but not tipsy or drunk, and two is ok in my…
