and anything other than salt and brown sauce on chips is banned - even vinegar. and definitely no tomato ketchup. and it has to be HP sauce - none of this Daddies etc crap.
I put on two stone with my unscheduled lay-off, but have now shifted a stone of that in 7 weeks of getting back to running; it's a lot slower coming off than going on (and my running has improved much faster than my weight; if they did a GFW for London, I'd be in with half a chance...)
Thanks, kk...I'm now down to 'fat' from 'I have no trousers to fit me' Another 20lb by the end of May would be ideal.
I'm not used to having to watch what I eat; when I was fitter, I could eat more or less what I wanted and be guaranteed to burn it all off; now I have to balance calories in and exercise volumes. It's going ok at the moment, so It'll be interesting to see if I can get into sub 12st territory via teh same method...
Not all peas are wrong, well not all the time, hehehe.. I do like peas i have to say. Has to be 'salt and sauce' in Edinburgh, which is brown sauce, and none of that HP rubbish, this is chip shop watered down sauce, made from god-only-knows what, but tastes delish. I could murder a fish supper now.....
I'm definitely part of the mushy peas in the bin brigade!
I had the dreaded meeting with the scales last Tuesday. Lets just say there was weeping and nashing of teeth. I'm working on losing it now and hopefully starting IM training in two weeks will help.
Pickled Onions have their place but to be honest I prefer a pickled shallot.
Smaller and sweeter they are practically easier to eat and yummier. However don't see either as something to go with my fish and chips. Just a bit overpowering.

(plus salt, vinegar and tomato ketchup of course - goes without saying)
Gravy, curry, mint sauce (WTF??? ), mushy peas, normal peas, are all aberrations that need to be stamped on hard.
And bring back proper newspaper wrapping as well, whilst we are at it. Bliddy interfering health&saftety-crats
Oh, and if it makes anyone feel worse, I didn't put on any weight in the month or so after my IM!

Fear not, I'm still under-tall for my mass, it's just that I have ambition now

I had fish, chips and mushy peas a la posh hotel the other day.
The mushy peas had jalepenos in them! What was that about. I love jalepenos on many things pizzas, burritos, toast but this really didn't work.
Now to get you all up to speed:
I will fight anyone who has any other variation.

Found almost exclusively in Yorkshire, it belongs on the counter of all fish and chip shops across the country, alongside salt and vinegar!
Afraid i'm not familiar with that acronym......
