Pick and Mix

This weekend has been somewhat of a mixed bag on the diet. I haven't been overly naughty exactly, but I haven't followed the rules 100% either. Breakfasts using HEb choices of weetabix or wholemeal toast continued, as did the fruit and yoghurt lunches. I did have teatime meals that were slightly off plan in the sense that I mixed proteins and carbohydrates in the same meal (homemade lasagne on Saturday and Moroccan chicken tagine with couscous on Sunday), but I don't feel they were too heavy on calories or saturated fats. However, I also made cookies, ate two of them and drank about six glasses of wine ... that's over the whole weekend, not in one sitting ;)

I have had far, far worse weekends ... but perhaps this one doesn't feel so bad because I neglected to write anything down? We shall see at weigh in tonight I guess. I have no idea what to expect but quite frankly I have bigger things to worry about and assuming I haven't gained I shall be happy.

On the exercise front this week Jayne and I are trying out a new class. Rebounding is aerobics on mini trampolines. Jayne found a video on you tube so we have some idea what we are letting ourselves in for ... it looks pretty fun to me, but also a teensy bit dangerous given my reputation for being ever so slightly clumsy. Jayne also needs to really strap in her bazoomas with a good bra for this one I think LOL.

PS. Still no sign of my hula hoop. Damn you, Amazon where is it!?

PPS. Try cracking eggs between the top layer of your lasagne. This is apparently very authentic to parts of rural Italy (according to my sister-in-law's husband ... does that make him my brother in law?) and absolutely yummy. Plus it adds nothing to your syns on slimming world as eggs are free. Apparently there is a traditional white kind of lasagne which uses only eggs and and has no bolognaise layers. Something to do with rural Italians having a ready supply of eggs and but rarely much beef I believe. I'm going to look for a recipe as this would be perfect for the SW plan.
