Yesterday, we had a Chinese Takeaway for dinner. I really must get my front tooth fixed!(broken crown that I’ve not been abe to get properly fixed due to being ill) I had to resort to cutting up my Prawn Balls and the Fajita’s we had for dinner today *sighs*
Still, I’m sure i’ll manage the Creme Egg Brownies that i made this afternoon. I haven’t had one yet, but they have the thumbs up from The Fam 🙂
Which brings me nicely onto the subject of diets lol. We’ve decided to go back on the 5:2 Diet. Last year i lost 2 stones (28lbs) doing it for 6 months, but what with the house move and my new found love of baking, things are getting out of hand lol.
So for 3 days every week i’ll be fasting again, so I’m sorry to say, there will be no post here on those days. I won’t even be able to look at a cookery book, let alone talk about food on fasting days. Wish me luck 🙂
So this weeks meal planning takes the 5:2 into account and has seen me return To Nigel Slaters Kitchen Diaries. Don’t forget to check out MrsM’s Blog for more inspiration.
- Monday – Chicken Patties & Treacle Tart
- Tuesday – Fasting – Pizza for the kids
- Wednesday – Pork with Garlic (stir fry) & Lemon Tart
- Thursday – Fasting – Chicken Kievs for kids
- Friday – Takeaway
- Saturday – Slow Roast Lamb
- Sunday – Fasting – Pasta of some description for the kids
- PLUS – At least one loaf of bread from the bread maker
No cake this week *shock horror gasp* but 2 tarts instead, which no doubt will come with cream or custard…well, I’m easing myself into the diet gradually 😉
What are your food plans for the week?

Well done for Fasting and feeding the kids. I’d have to not feed them as I’d pick and pick at the food!
BNM
Thanks honey…
First day today *gulps* and I’m already NOT wanting to go to the supermarket lol
xx
Is that not a 4:3 diet? I’m starting this week too… fingers’ crossed for a good loss for both of us! xx
Ha ha ha, yeah, i guess it is really Janet…I found 3 days was better last year so i’ll do the same again i think. I know someone who did Alternate Fasting, she lost LOADS!
Ooooo, good luck honey! 🙂
xx
Well done on your diet! I know that my will power would not be strong enough to fast! Hope you have a good week
Thanks Kirsty 🙂
Its gunna be soooo hard, but, I’m an all or nothing type of person, so just cutting down would be more of a nightmare 😉

Good for you re the 5:2. Really interested to hear you had great success with it last year. I tried it for 3 weeks with very mixed results and then we went on holiday last week and it all fell apart……

I know what you mean re avoiding thinking about food on fast days, I couldn’t write shopping lists, read recipe books, watch food programmes, anything food related which I normally LOVE. Haven’t yet decided whether to go back to it or not.
Hope you have a good week x
Thanks Kate 🙂
Yeah, i know people it has worked for, and then others who put ON weight with it lol.
Have you got Kate Harrisons books? Can HIGHLY recommend them if you decide to give it another go. Good luck!

Thanks for that hun, I’ll have a look 😊 x
Those Creme Egg Brownies are delicious! I’ve made them before and wow!! Yummy!
Good luck with the diet x
Thanks Kim 🙂

It all sounds delicious, you must have a bag load of willpower to not nibble the kids teas!
Ha ha ha….ummmm, no Claire, its going to be torturous! lol

There is no way I could fast and feed my kids pizza, you’re a stronger woman than me lol xx
Its absolutely killing me honey! lol
