L: Small portion of leftover SW spag bol. Banana & a strawberry muller light.

D: Cottage pie - lots of SF (4 syns to be safe) with green beans. Cheesecake muller light (1 syn).

Syns: 5

Forgot to add that I did manage the gym yesterday! Just 45 minutes of cardio but better than nothing!

Todays eats:

3 days left til WI. Seems good now but I'm planning wine at the weekend and probably a cheeky takeaway too!

45mins is still good though!!! I hate cardio!! I'm currently tucked up in bed in my joggers and a hoodie - dressed for exercising but snuggling up because it's cold!!!

What are these Heinz pasta pouches?? Are they nice?? Worth 3 syns?? X

They are new. The cheese and tomato one seems to be lowest in syns. It's pretty nice and quite filling. I don't think I would bother with a higher syn one though...well I think there is one for 3.5 syns actually. I wouldn't live off them but a nice change from a mug shot now and then. Xxx

How do you make your pizza? I tend to use pitta bread, but I'm interested in trying something else more like pizza!!! Did you stick to your 3 bottles of beer?? I was a bit bad last night...but I've woke up this morning feeling like I'm going to get back on it!!! ;-) x

Hi!

I got the recipe from a website that one of the girls from minimims had up. It seems to have gone now though so i cant put the link up but basically:

Use 75g per person (2 x HEBs) of tesco wholemeal bread mix. I will get a photo of it for you. You mix it with warm water. You have to kneed it a bit a few times and let it rest for about 40 minutes (there are instructions on the packet) but then you just role it out like pastry. Spread with passata or tomato puree, any herbs you like, Then use one or two HEA's worth of mozzerla and top with your fav toppings! Pop in the oven on about 150 for about 10 - 20 minutes.

Its delish. Its one of hubbys fav meals. I promise its really good pizza!!

Yes i did stick to my 3 beers! Very proud lol! WI tomorrow, really hope i have lost a lb or two. My jeans are feeling looser so fingers crossed xx
