Dear all Daily Diarists, and welcome to you lovely regulars and any newbies.
My poster today I think has two purposes - one to reflect on how lovely this forum is and how a helping message or two can really help someone out - so don't forget to comment on each other's posts and provide that little bit of support, but also don't forget to be honest and speak with those special people elsewhere in your life. My mission this week is to reach out to some old friends and set up some social things.
Now, on to business, tell me what you're planning on eating on Saturday, with calories if you're counting and exercise if you're doing any.
Plan for me looks like this:
B - porridge with banana and marmalade - 350 cals
L - not sure yet, might be out and about with my son - so maybe around 500 cals
D - spicy chicken and pepper fajita wrap - 500 cals
Evening snack will be popcorn or crisps with a film, but not chocolate, as I've decided I need to go cold turkey with my chocolate habit - I can't do a little bit, I can only do the whole lot!
Exercise will be a brisk 45 walk with steep hills in the morning, then some wandering about with my son.
Can't wait to hear all your plans - here comes the weekend - yippeeee!

What a lovely post Salcheq 😀. I have no idea what I shall be eating tomorrow as I am away all weekend, but will think of you all supporting me and choose wisely 😀
It's a utility room that I'm converting into a kitchen purely for our airbnb people. I keep prevaricating of the tiling and finding another bit to do in or another but I've just about run out of other jobs and I'll have to bite the bullet
Aw enjoy the chowder! My 3 tips to an easy chowder: Keep it simple (poach the fish in milk and add potato and leek soup, use smoked fish and add plenty of dill. that's how I like mine! I don't even bother with cream nowadays, it doesn't add much! You share your recipe too!
Sounds like there must be a zillion ways of making it. It is a random one I found on the net that seemed to fit my idea of something I've never had (Huh!). Your way sounds different again but then that's the beauty of food.
Last night I was surrounded by people who said they could never think of what to eat. I just said I didn't have that problem but felt I'd be beating my head against a brick wall to point out all the recipe books they have, the availability of the internet, their own experience and all the foodie programs and magazines....LOL!!!!
Now that I've just written that 'out aloud', possibly planning ahead is what makes the difference and trying to think up something on the spot is the reason for their thinking.
Hi
Tomorrow is a day out meeting my friends and we plan to have a long walk and talk 8 miles total and stop somewhere for lunch.
Hi Salcheq thanks for hosting! One of my sisters and I always seem to be on a similar journey with weight loss even though she has reached her goal. It is great to be able to talk to someone who understands stuff!
I have started round 2 of bsd - 800 cals a day for 8 weeks, although I upped last time to 1000 after 4 weeks and then was back to 1400 by 8.
Had a great day 1 after my weigh in 'this has got to stop' moment this morning.
Brunch - crustless quiche with salad and avocado - 400
Dinner - poached trout with mushroom stroganoff - 350
Snacks - a small pear or scoop of natural yoghurt. Black coffee, sparkling water and fruit teas.
Ex - got a sore back today, if better will do a 5k park run
Tip - don't waste time beating yourself up; take control and make changes. It will make you feel better even if they are little ones.
Cracking planning Casualty and a tasty menu. You've reminded me to get back into avocado - so good with bacon. I hope you have a lovely evening with friends.
hi Salcheq , thanks for your lovely post and picture. Tomorrow's plan
B- mushrooms, scrambled eggs and avocado, 250, half grapefruit,25
L- half tin tomato soup, 80, cheese, 100, pumpkin seeds and cream, 100
D- half large steak and kidney pie, veg, 500
milk in tea and coffee, 100
snacks, banana, 100, apple and cheese, 130. Gin and tonic, 150. I'll be going for a run with the dog. Would like to go to a trampoline park, but so far I can't persuade anyone to come with me. Hope everyone has a good weekend
What a lovely menu rutheliza , I can't remember the last time I had a steak and kidney pie - yum! I quite often want to join my children at a trampoline park, I think it looks such fun and great exercise as long as you're careful. Have a great day.
Have a great day Rutheliza 😊. I was listening to the radio about how adult themed play parks, trampolines etc are the next ‘big thing’ 😊. I hope someone will accompany you
Salcheq cheers for looking after the diary today! I love the little pic, and it couldn't be more apt for me today! I've recently offloaded to my sister and found so much comfort in sharing my troubles! Having good friends, old or new, is such a balm to life's rocky moments. I do feel I am among friends here on the forum too.
Saturday diary - max 3000
Now, that may seem extreme, but looking back through my food logs I can see i hit 3000 very easily on party days or celebrations.. I'm planning it that way.. if I go under, great!
B - In work for over time- Weetabix, yoghurt, seeds, coffee (350)
L - chowder left overs (300)
D - With a group of pals for a girls' night out. Starts with Chinese takeaway, followed by wine and nibbles, followed by cocktails out, followed by a night of dancing and drinking. If we get a bit drunk this has been known to lead to 2am chips or some other stodgy grub! I'm allowing a colossal 2350 for this evening. Hoping it will be less but we shall see. (2350)
That is taking being realistic to new levels - but what an inspiration to us. How many of us plan to eat lighter than is really realistic in certain situations, and then feel like we've failed if we don't manage it. And I'm sure you'll pull it back in later in the week with your steely determination with those fast days. Have an amazing evening with friends.
Hi Caroline, I hope your week is picking up, great news that you're still losing. My week has been a bit of a rollercoaster, but generally good, and I'm looking forward to a slightly unusual weekend with just one child while the other one is off enjoying herself at a residential activity weekend.
I hope your parcel from M&S is something nice to enjoy. Have a great Saturday.
I am with you salcheq, I am thinking cold turkey on the chocolate habit. I had some yesterday and instead of a little piece like I was planning, I ate the whole bar which was a king size! it made me a little sick which I think may be good as I am really craving some healthy alternatives now. I was doing well at eating fruit for about 2 weeks and when I quit I started craving chocolate again. here's going back to healthy fruit!
Let's do this! I go through stages when I can eat a little bit of chocolate, but right now it is the whole lot or nothing. So nothing it must be. Good luck, cheering you on.
Not sure exactly what I shall be eating today but I do know that I shall try to be careful with my choices. Just returned last night from 5 days in Florence with pasta, pizza, risotto, gnocchi, ciabbatta, gelato on EVERY menu... and chianti of course 😯. I only found a good salad once. Needless to say, even though I walked a lot I'm still feeling a bit lumpy, so I will wait a couple of days before I weigh myself. Breakfast today will be 2 boiled eggs and some greek yoghurt they should satisfy me for a while.
Hi FattySquirrel nice to have you with us on the daily diary today. I need to get better at taking my own advice and talking with friends more!
That is a seriously well planned, and delicious day there. Your snacks sound so good to get you through any tricky parts of the day - do you save any of them for the 8pm danger zone slot?!
I'm not a huge scrambled egg fan, but your version sounds amazing.
Sometimes I have some dates and dry apricots left over but today I’ll be saving dates and apricots completely for danger time!!
Salcheq I am having serious issues with a weak bladder! I am drinking 2@300ml glasses of water with each meal and I feel so good wen I do but I can’t even get out of the car at this match because I am constantly needing the loo!
This is also part of the reaso. Of weight gain as I try to avoid water since I had my three yr old else I can’t even drive from one school to another!
I’m really tired now. All my snacks finished but I still to clear kitchen dishes. Really slow now ...... I just hope I don’t spoil my day by eating something wrong.
