Green Weekend

So this weekend was mostly spent in the garden enjoying the fantastic unseasonably warm sunshine, as part of my commitment to building a better relationship with food I have decided to grow a lot of it myself, starting with a vine!! lol, I wish, god no stop thinking about wine.


I have always loved being in the garden and growing things, I put this down to a wonderful Grandad who encouraged this and loved spending time with me showing me how to do things.  I also loved sunbathing in his greenhouse, convinced that as it was so lovely and warm I must surely be getting a tan!  This love of gardening was only strengthened by my wonderful Step Father Tom, who always had a tip or two for me.  My lovely new greenhouse was a gift from my Mum and is a little place for me to go and think about two wonderful men I have loved and sadly lost.


I planted lettuces, rocket, spring onions, butternut squash, tomatoes and cucumbers to name just a few, lets hope at least one or two of them actually grow.


Having been so busy this weekend, I had better bloody lose weight this week!


Saturday
Breakfast - slice of wholemeal toast with 1 slice of leerdammer light, 1 tangerine
Lunch - Prezzo pizza light with salad
Dinner - home made turkey burger with butternut squash


Sunday
Breakfast - Sugar Free Alpen  - only fit for hamsters!
Lunch - My version of a bacon sandwich - 2 slices of parma ham put in microwave for 50 seconds, in a small bap - yum yum yum.  1 packet of special k crisps
Dinner - enormous omelette - seriously big stuff, felt very full, but still only 9 points!
1 small tub of frozen yoghurt, wish I hadn't bothered not worth the 4 points.
