Holiday involved lots of catching up with friends, lots of food involved, surprisingly my clothes still fit.
Concentrating on healthy eating now, would love it if some weight came off too but am not going to stress about it any more.

I have been making lots of vegetable soup. I put some chicken stock and tinned tomatoes in the slow cooker and heaps of chopped up vegetables. Add a tin of beans as well for protein. Really nutritious and nice to have in this cold weather.

Hi @Shaz51 - resurrecting this thread? Good idea. I had my signature smoothie for breakfast - it's water with a stick of celery, some kale leaves, a carrot, an orange, a banana, a piece of ginger all blended up. Plus some dry Weetbix Bites.

that sounds nice and interesting @soul 
, does the banana put the sweetness in the drink

Yes @Shaz51 - I actually freeze the bananas first and then pop one in the blender with the rest of the stuff.
