Mushroom and Bean Hotpot

Weigh night....... and I've gained AGAIN! NOT IMPRESSED! I did go a bit mad on Saturday night - wine, crusty bread, delicious paella, desert and a gorg cheese course followed by coffee and chocolates! I blame Phil for turning 50! (and the fact that I'm greedy!) To combat this I am making a commitment to lost 3lbs next week I am going to blog everything I eat for the whole week - breakfast, lunch and dinner! (and snackages!) .... so watch this space...(and wish me luck!)

Tonight Matt made Mushroom and Bean hotpot.... it was delicious
