Last night we had Chicken chow mein for supper, was very nice and extremely filling so I thought I'd share with you.

I wish I'd took a photo as it looked as delish as it tasted.


I also came across this little device yesterday and will be buying one come payday. It's a microwave crisp maker!
I don't eat many crisps, but if I can eat them Syn free I will and I bet you can have a lot of fun adding your own flavours.


So I'm doing pretty well at the moment, been eating well and have started going out for an hours walk or wobble every morning once I drop the twins at school. I'm feeling much better for it and hopefully I'll be back up to speed soon and loosing at a steady rate.

Hope you're all on a roll and doing well. Good luck for weigh ins!
