I've decided to go for it ... start with the stone for FLM for my charity and take it from there.
As I am training I need some energy so don't want to diet dramatically just (as Robert says) get the balance right!Today is staff lunch which is always a major challenge as it's free food! Need I say more!
Anyway I will weigh in at Boots at lunchtime and give Stu the scarey evidence.
Was not quite with it this morning so was late putting the bread on for the boys' sarnies so seeing as I knew I would have to pop home after the school run and before work I also put the oven on.
Recipe from the GI Diet book by Rick Gallop (low GI or "green light" as he says)
Dried Chickpeas
2 cans of drained chick peas
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2tsp salt
pinch cayenne pepper
mix well and bake at 200 for 40-45 mins
Good snack food does exist it seems and apparently this is like chips etc as it has some crunch and salt.
I'll report back later!
Talking of my Charity - here is some info.
STEPS is Leicestershire's only Conductive Education service/school for children. They have existed for about 7 years and have Rosemary Conley as their patron. During that time they have moved "home" several times. They are settled where they are now, but the church (who own the building) need to sell the land and they have first dibbs. So they are raising funds to buy the building before the have to move again.
STEPS is a countywide charity, providing specialist support to children with motor disorders, enabling them to lead fuller, more active lives. By helping the children develop their physical, emotional, spiritual and communication skills in a relaxed environment, STEPS eases their integration into school and their own communities.

Ah free food that's a tough challenge, very tough challenge. Have an apple and a drink before you go to take the edge of your appetite.
You could try sweet potato crisps - thinly sliced pieces of sweet potato baked in the oven. Mrs W tried it but overcooked them a bit so they were a bit too crispy
