Monday 6th August weigh in.

Aaah glass if only it were that easy! I can go round Waitrose maybe once and the next time..... there they are in my basket!!

Am, refusing to weigh myself this week . Call me chicken !

I just know that the combination of becoming an Olympic tv junkie and singing in a Prom ( very exhilarating , but not calorie-burning sadly ,with lots of very static rehearsals and weird eating patterns !) means that I am at the very top of the range that I allow myself to reach while maintaining somewhere near my ideal weight. ( 2 kilos above it , in fact!)

Hoping that I will manage to lose a bit of it this week , and I really will weigh myself on Tuesday as normal , and not panic ........

grannyK get weighed you cant deal with an imaginary amount,you could get on the scales and surprise yourself and its not as bad as you expect. On the other hand once you have fallen off the wagon you might just carry it on and then its a viscous circle and that 1lb becomes 2lb and maybe more.
No panic if you want to wait till next week.

Does anyone else feel really bloated when the weather is hot? I've noticed it a lot, is it just fluid retention?

Forgot to check in this week. must be because I had a fish and chip lunch when I met Annobel and Greatnan on Monday

I am the same weight as last week

when

Confession I have had fish and chips at lunch time when out with DD and DGC.

Just sitting in the lounge at Vancouver airport with a glass of pinot and nibbles waiting for our flight home. I am sure the scales will shriek with terror when I get home but it will have been worth it! Have done lots of walking but also eaten a lot especially the last couple of days when I knew that going home meant behaving myself.

So OH gets a bee in his bonnet about backing! What? Stem ginger biscuits, full of butter, sugar and golden syrup. And here I am trying to lose weight - sadist.

I've just found the most incredibly easy diet! It's called the hunter gatherer diet!

Hmmm baking, sorry for typo. Such a pain this site does not have an 'edit' option!

jeni I've done that diet years ago when I was tested for intolerances. You feel incredibly well on it

What the 'hunt in the fridge, gather what's there and eat it 'one?

I have just cleared out the fridge and found the usual debris of leftover bits of unidentifiable stuff. Nothing worth hunting and nothing worth gathering.

I've found cauliflower peppers cheese milk and an iffy avocado. Oh, and the potato salad I've just made!

Think I'll donate them all to Gary and Kate's chickens as I can't think of any thing to do with them!
Unless, has anybody an interesting ie tasty, spicy recipe for peppers (no egg)?

Stuffed hot peppers

1/3 cup ground Italian sausage
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3/4 tablespoon garlic salt
3 tablespoons grated Romano cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/3 cup Italian-style dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 Hungarian hot peppers, cored and seeded
Directions

Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, mix together the sausage, cream cheese, garlic salt, Romano cheese, oregano, basil, bread crumbs and olive oil.
Stuff the peppers with the sausage mixture. Place on a baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven 20 to 25 minutes, until the stuffing is lightly brown and bubbly.
