I'm on a health kick. Past 2 days I've been having a freshly made carrot, apple and lime smoothie for breakfast. Bowl of home made soup for lunch then a nice home cooked healthy meal for dinner, was chile con carne tonight which is my favourite. If I get hungry and want a snack I'm drinking a smoothie or having more soup. No crisps, chocolate, fizzy drinks, booze or junk food! Not going to last any longer than the weekend though out for dinner on Saturday and BBQ on Sunday.

Hoping to loose a couple of pounds. Going out walking for an hour every day too, too lazy to jog / run.

Had a nice sirloin steak earlier with some mushie peas and fried onions for dinner. Delicious!

Had beef curry for dinner and have just finished off a nice big bar of Fruit & Nut chocolate.

Almost 6pm and all I've had all day is a smoothie and some soup. Need to go find something to cook. Been a healthy week so far planning on keeping it that way until Saturday. Was wanting to lose a few pounds in weight and I have in just 3 days. Not bad at all.

Yum that's one of my favourite slow cooker stews Mr Bog and I picked the recipe up here from you

I've been very lazy - went to a M&S simply food on the way home and bought spicy chicken wings and pizza, some greenery on the side for an easy peasy "heat-up" dinner.

My excuse = It's been a long working day, its Thursday and my shopping / menu planning is all off this week

I'm amazed, only started on the healthy eating on Monday and have already lost 5.5 pounds! Been going out walking every day too so probably helping. Struggling a bit today, been really hungry all night but resisting eating anything I shouldn't be. I want to lose another 3 pounds but it's going to be a weekend of decadence and boozing so might just end up piling it back on.

going to cook up a cauliflower, sweet potato, chick pea curry for tonights dinner.

EDIT>>>>>don't eat shark, not sustainable, and I've never liked it when I've eaten it. We sometimes catch smoothhounds, but always return them, and fucking dogfish, I've eaten a few if they're too injured, poorly, swallowed the hook etc to go back alive, but they not the nicest fish....

saw this pic today from The Guardian's 'this week in wildlife' pic series and it made my stomach churn a little

Hundreds of newly unloaded, wet, and bloody shark fins drying in the afternoon sun in a quiet street near Kennedy Town docks, Hong Kong. Chinese netizens have criticised a government decision to ban serving shark fin soup at state banquets within three years, mocking it as a timid step

All those sharks mascaraed just so the Chinese can show off how wealthy they are.

Nicely done mate

Yeah putting make-up on fish is just WRONG.

 

[jancrow]

LOL

The shark's fin business is FUCKED. They catch the sharks, drag them onto deck, cut their fins off and chuck them back into the water to bleed to death.

 

[TheSpade]

Nicely spotted SHM. Did that on purpose, honest.

Nicely done mate

It's going to shit this weekend though, loads of boozing and eating unhealthy food tomorrow and Sunday. As long as I don't pile it all back on I'll be happy. Will continue healthy eating again on Monday, not sure if I'll continue with the soup and smoothie and one main meal a day thing I've been doing though.

That photo is beautiful.

Shame the subject mater is such a rank and destructive trade. I don't need to tell you my views on that Marmz (check Guardians, passim, if you're unsure). But it's a stunning photograph.

lo, I is fuckin stoned :D, and that made me laughhhhhhh

I am usually eating quite healthy because of my powerlifting training, but today I made a rhubarb pie with chunks of white chocolate in the crust, served with homemade vanilla cream sauce it was superb (and half of it is in the fridge for tomorrow's munchies )
