Crispy potato wedges with chicken

We've had a bit of an eclectic weekend with our food due to decorating the house. Although our motto is to be prepared - we found it easier to dial a takeaway. So our weekend has been peppered with snatched meals.

After a chinese takeaway on Friday evening, our weight was significantly higher (than the amount of calories consumed would suggest) the next morning. It's happened before, so we weren't too bothered and 24 hours later, our weight had adjusted back to normal. We can only put this down to water retention and a salty meal. Weight does fluctuate (see what we think about this here), and we've learned this, so no longer panic.
After a couple of hours painting, it's nice to be waited on. The exercise will offset the additional calories consumed, and as takeaways are something of an occasional treat, we tucked in. I suspect we are 'calorie neutral' after all our efforts. Today we cooked a small whole chicken, eating one hot meal with crispy wedges, using this quick potato wedges recipe, and the other meal as a salad.
As you can see, we eat everything and anything. Our weight loss was never dependent upon 'special' foods or meals. We lost weight eating the food we love.

REMEMBER: YOU have a daily calorie allowance - do you know what that is?

We began our weight loss journey in January 2011 - and began our blog in June 2011. Here's a link to the first post. (here's the link).

We like to post our main meals to show you what CAN be eaten. You won’t find us posting every last morsel though – but we hope this gives you an idea of how far calories can go! I'm currently going through the photographs and replacing them with more website friendly versions which will allow the blog to load quickly.
