I really don’t struggle with 800 calories as I feel so much better in myself. When I have a day off work that’s when it tends to go wrong. In work I don’t give it a second thought!
Never had them but saw others here were having them (possibly you ). I did that recipe with cod the other day and the OH (an 'impressive' critic) really liked it.
I love your avocado bash. Indeed I love it so much I have just ditched my omelette in favour of this.
So tomorrow
Brunch: Avocado bash, as favoured by Dazzle with bacon and mushrooms.
Dinner: Always tricky on a Monday as it is running followed by Bible Study group. Planning slow cooked chicken which I will take off the bone before I go out with sprouts and tender stem broccoli-putbin steamer before I go out.
I may be back tomorrow to confess that all did not go according to plan!
Exercise will be improvers running club-whatever that means!
Looking forward to pinching more ideas for lovey food.
It does-and I would far rather run. Generally don’t feel hungry after a run.
-which is good news!
Week 3 of my plan starts tomorrow. Hoping to increase my walking to 15 mins x 5 days. My calories always allow wiggle room for something around bedtime to help me sleep.
Superfoods green juice - 35
Brekkie -kale, tomatoes & poached eggs - 165
Lunch - red pepper & horseradish soup plus almonds - 255
hi, dazzle, thanks for hosting. On my way home from a weekend visiting family, stuck in traffic on the motorway, so will be quite tired by the time we get back. Tomorrow I'll have
Just been reading through people's menus and trying to remember what I'd planned last night - thank you for jogging my memory 😀👍 your menu sounds yummy 😋
Hi all. Not sure what happened yesterday - i am sure i posted for myself and replied to a couple of comments but can find no trace of them today.
Oh well - try again
Tomorrows plan is hopefully
B- bacon medalions, eggs, tomatoes and baked beans
L - tinned carrot and coriander soup and roll with fruit x 2 or 3
D - chicken pie, pots and veg
Exercise - dog walk x2 (plus noticed a sign outside gym offering 12 sessions for £12 which i may just investigate!!)
Happy Monday

Fabulous breakfast! That gym offer sounds brilliant!
lovely food,perfect for the cold weather. Hope your day goes well
Fabulous food for such low cals dazzle! Hope you are finding the bs diet manageable!
My Sunday has gone really well.. I've gone over slightly for the day but that was done purposely as I was hungry between meals and I have 3500 cals left for the week (Monday is last day of the week) so I have a fair bit of leeway.
Monday plan - up to 2000 but aiming 1200. The carry over will be of more use on Tuesday and Wednesday when I have planned meals out.
B - bio yoghurt(110), 10 peanuts (60), coffee with cashew milk(30) total = 200
No dazzle.. I just use normal coconut milk. The reduced fat one is just diluted if I'm not mistaken.. I don't mind taking a calorie hit when it's spread among 8 or so servings
I've had a lovely day of laughter, shopping and eating with friends today. It's a shame to have to go to work tomorrow but I'll keep going on this little lot:
B. Peanut butter overnight oats with berries
L. Gammon and veg with a few herby roast potatoes. This is what my family had today while I was out.
D. Garlic chicken with sweet potato and veg
Approx. 2000
Exercise. Gym and yoga. Possibly a dog walk if it's my turn!!
Hi dazzle thanks for hosting. Lots there for 840 cals. I am starting week 7 and have upped to 1000 cals. I have 2 big work dinners this week - one I gave picked my menu and the other I have no idea about the menu! However there is always something you can eat.
B - boiled egg and babybel light - 120
L - curried lentils and baked tomatoes, easiyo and raspberries - 300
D - either beef stroganoff left overs or moussaka - 350
S - a few almonds, Apple, some almond milk and skimmed mixed together - 200
Total - 970
Ex - netball and Pilates
Tip - don't delay start today! Whatever it is that you are thinking of doing!
One of the bonuses of watching our portion sizes is being able to enjoy a good meal more than once! Enjoy your chicken leftovers. I think the rain is meant to clear up, so hope you can get a good brisk walk in today too
Same here. I hope you think of something exciting to add flavour-wise. Although sometimes things just taste better a day later
Good morning Dazzle, I'm emerging from a less than perfect weekend. But I have a solid plan for today and I hope that sticking to it will still result in a number I want to see on the scales tomorrow.
B porridge with 25g oats, mashed banana, tbsp ground almonds and 200ml soya milk - 351 cals
L 5x tesco spinach and chickpea falafels, mixed salad, hummous and mango chutney in a mediterranean herb wrap - 464 cals
D 75g penne pasta with tomato sauce, fresh green beans and 20g cashew cheese - 526 cals
Monday is normally a bit of a rubbish day for me as I am waiting for a Tesco delivery later in the day and then having running club in the evening also doe snot help.
I haven't been doing much planning lately, made a decision about dinner last night... and then forgot it by this morning, came on here looking for inspiration and remembered it again 😂 Is it just me or is there a definite sausage theme on here today?
Breakfast - sugar free muesli and milk
Lunch - omlette and salad
Dinner - Mediterranean roasted vegetables with sausage and haloumi
Snacks - fruit and maybe a yogurt
Activity - its craft club Monday this afternoon, which I run, so that will keep me busy. Overdid the exercise a few weeks ago, caused a bit of a health crash 😕 want to slowly get back to it, so going to walk to post box with some letters.
A very wet morning here, no point trying to take doggie for a walk yet, she's very stubborn, hates the rain, not that keen myself! Might go for a quick swim at the pool later.
My weekend was mixed as far as planning, mainly OK but an extra wine or 2 plus hubby's cheese snacks bumped the calories up Saturday evening.
2 Xmas parties coming up soon as well (a bit early me thinks). Looking forward to wearing new party outfit, not much room in the slim leg/fit trousers so some extra incentive this week.
B: An odd one of leftover chicken, half an avocado, tomato and cucumber, small blob of mayo.
L: Yesterday's curried meatballs and sauce. This was delicious, although I say so myself
Good morning dazzle . I haven't been planning my food recently I'm afraid. I've been feeling very low and out of touch with my friends here. I've had a two egg omelette with goat's cheese for breakfast but need to decide what I'm having the rest of the day. I had started the BSD and got to about day four. I think I'll just ease myself into eating healthily for the moment and start the BSD when I'm feeling better.
Your menu sounds very good for the amount of calories.
I think that sounds really sensible, Morgancando. Baby steps is just the way to get yourself back into eating healthily again and a goat's cheese omelette is a great start!
First day and first go at a diary entry - still working out cals using Myfitnesspal but my meals today look like this:
Breakfast - porridge with half s/s milk and water and 4 dried apricots.
Snack - 1 apple
Lunch - w/m roll with piri piri chicken and watercress
Dinner - this will be part of a lamb shank cooked in red wine with carrots and herbs served with creamed potatoes and peas. (will need to watch portion size as this is my downfall)
I will also have had 3 cups of tea with s/s milk and have drunk lots of water at work.
It does take an age to calculate home-cooked meals, but hopefully it won't bust the calorie budget. Once I get the hang of calorie counting I hope to plan ahead rather than retrospectively.
Exercise was a 30 min brisk walk at lunch time.
Update...
Have totted up the calories using mfp and total for the day is 1194 which sounds rather low. Dinner came in at 562 and I feel quite full (it was rather nice though). Working on tomorrow's menu now (full time job this!).
Also found the tape measure (in too much of a rush this morning for work) and waist is 36 in at the 'natural waist' where I would wear a belt. Not sure if that is the right place to measure but suppose so long as its always the same I can track progress. BMI is 26.6.

). I did that recipe with cod the other day and the OH (an 'impressive' critic) really liked it.
