belfie - your being a good girl, keep up the great work hun, isn't it great having a thread like this to keep you motivated.

JBM - mmm sounds nice and healthy, i don't do seafood but i should really get into cooking fish for DP and the kids and maybe just doing chicken or something for me.

Astrid - your food plans sound good, DP and the girls got me veggie seeds for Mothers Day last year and we hadn't gotten around to planting them yet, i really need to work out when is best and get it going to save me some $$ and so i know exactly what i'm eating.

AFM - jumped on the scales this morning fully clothed and i'm down 600g but that doesn't mean much as it's only a couple of days, last night i did fried rice and satay chicken but i used all fresh veggies in my rice (baby corn, red capsicum, snow peas, brocollini, onion) and only used a little oil... i set aside some plain rice and plain veggies for lunch today and i halved the serve of satay i would normally have eaten at dinner.

Today i haven't eaten breakfast as i am not feeling 100% but i will be eating an apple at some stage this morning, my rice & veg for lunch then some rice cakes with banana this afternoon when the girls have their snack, tonight for tea not 100% sure as i am going to bingo with MIL and there are usually donuts involved... am i strong enough to say no?
Maybe i should cut up some carrot sticks and take some rice crackers and pack a big water bottle ????

Exercise wise today i am planning on throwing on a big thick jacket for the girls and I and headingh out into the paddock to weed around some of the trees, i will park the trailer & motorbike further away than normal and walk, wlak, walk as much as i can!
