Small Cake = Huge Pain
Hiya
Was in work in this morning in the café having a break and we were brought out some cake for the 4 of us. Well, how could I refuse. So after my little square of cake, I did a bit more work, went shopping, got home and had really bad stomach pains so no lunch for me.
B - last of my sausage, bacon, egg breakfast slow cooker thingy
L - nothing
T - sausage casserole with cauli mash. It was lovely. A bit high carb as it has peas and carrots in (and the sausages were 10 carbs just for them) but it was worth it lol
I think I have done really well with food these last few weeks. Wonder what I will have next week.

Another Foodie Piccy........
Evening all
Yesterday I was very cold, watching the kids do their rugby training. Obviously the bed socks over my normal socks were not enough. Next week I will be wearing tights, thermal sock and bed socks. I hope that works.
I forgot to prepare breakfast on Saturday night so had to have bacon and eggs when I got up sunday and we had a chicken roast for tea.
Today, I did get my slow cooker breakfast which was lovely.
B - slow cooker sausages, toms, eggy mixture, cheese and bacon
L - butternut squash soup, lots of veggies
T - fajita filling on salad, here is a picture (I promise there are lots of salad and chicken under all that cheese)
I really need to get motivated to exercise more.
Oh, and not take hubby shopping again. I spent £5 (was not happy as went to Morrisons not Asda) and hubby decided he wanted pink lady apples, cheese scones and cheese and onion pasties. So another £6!!! So I have decided to change my challenge and now I will go to Asda end of week and spend my £5 apg's and not more than £1 of the cash. Budget now stands at £80/£150 and tomorrow will be week 3.

Breakfast Was a Sucess
Good Evening
I hope you are having a great weekend.
I am very impressed with my breakfast in the slow cooker, in fact, so impressed I am making it again for tomorrow and maybe next week.
Here is a before photo
B - as above (sausages then tinned toms, egg mixed with mayo and cream, cheese, bacon and a bit more cheese in slow cooker over night)
L - nothing after that breakfast lol
T - burger with salad
I have spent a bit more money (half price sausages in Lidl, took dd so managed to get 12 packs) so budget now up to £69/£150. Major challenge this week, my freezers are full, had to play tetris to fit the stuff in so I am trying to live this week on £15 cash and £5 apg, and maybe taking the £10 for my nails to be done out of it as well. I have lots of milk, some bread, freezers full of meat/veg and some fruit so only need salad and at end of fruit, milk and bread. That's the challenge. Wish me luck :D
