FFF - Quick & Quirky not Quiet

[Deleted User]

Yes, Mandy, eat something. And make sure you eat what your body is screaming for. Don't try to fob it off with a stick of celery because you'll still be hungry afterwards.

One big problem with ready-prepared pasta meals. They're weeny. I quite like (I very much like) Ross's spinach and ricotta cannelloni, but I need to put a heap of vegetables and a slice ot two of bread with it.

BA2 - I know this probably sounds terrible - and I'm not just an ignorant Londoner I promise but I don't know where any of those places are???

Scarily there's 4 points in a banana sarnie. Doesn't sound great when you only get 20 a day! I managed to eat 7.5 of mine for breakfast today!!!!

Know what you mean about the portions Vrap.

By the way it wasn't a ready prepared one - I actually made it myself! Quite pleased with it too. Put some broccoli in and it was lovely - there just wasn't very much of it!!!

[Deleted User]

Who SAYS you only have 20 points, Mandy? Blow them a razzer and have something now. Or promise yourself that if you're still hungry in 40 minutes, when it'll be tomorrow, you will make a dent in tomorrow's points.

Doesnt sound like this points thing allows for sensible food portions

Mind you what do i know
im fat

4 points for a nana sandwich? They can only be about 250-300 calories aren't they?

I'm from Sutton Mandy so we were near neighbours.

Now I hadn't thought about the fact its almost tomorrow!

10 miles south(?) of Leeds - but only 5 miles down the road from me so it would be quite handy

[Deleted User]

I don't really think the points allows for sensible portions either but I promised myself I'd do it properly for a few weeks and see how it goes. And I did lose weight last week so......

[Deleted User]

Good luck with getting in then BA. I know the area just north of Leeds reasonably well (family in Wetherby) but geography is not my strong point!

I thought narna butties were zero calories for runners cos they're muscle-fuel.

Must go to bed soon. With some chocolate.

[Deleted User]

Vrap - apparently not. Wish they were though! Maybe when I start running again.

I'm off to bed now. Early start tomorrow. Night all.

(and Iain before Wimbledon I lived in Carshalton so we'd have been even closer neighbours then!!)

[Deleted User]

ah, South london
i lived in tooting and mitcham

[Deleted User]

....And a hottle-bottle, because it's a bit chilly tonight. When I was running this afternoon, I had three layers on top of my undies and kept my gloves on the whole time, and was none too warm.

Night-night folks! See you all in the morning once I've managed to offload the students on to my long-suffering, hard-working partners. Or on to Lay-Zee-Boy.

Blinking flip - Tooting, Mitcham and Carshalton - we really were close!!

btw, a story for JJ. I once worked with someone who had been a medical researcher. One of his studies, on wound healing, required creating the wounds in the first place - by sandpapering pigs. Wounds had to be a certain shape etc
