thats okay then just didn't want you thinking that having '2syns' was being good as I found it didn't work like that and some are needed

Do you know it felt fab sounds stupid but mentally I found it was actually a very good thing to do I am glad I did it xxxxx

Hello! Your diary looks fab and a great start to your diary! Well done on the workout as well, you have alot more will power than me!
I agree with Jackie, make sure you get your syns into your plan, even if you just have 5 a day.
Good Luck, and enjoy your curly wurly!

Wow that is a lot of exercise! i was pleased with 15 mins this morning

I have to say i don't like to eat a lot of syns as 'extra' so i put them in with my meals! I try to always have 5...I think it's often just the extra milk in my coffees that can do that tho!

Keep it up, it's looking good!

Squeeze the lemon into a bowl with the 2 eggs, sweetener and mix together, place bowl over a pan of boiling water and keep whisking to its a thick constituent (custard looking) take off heat, mix in 1 tbsp of quark or Greek yogurt to make it more creamer, serve into small bowls, eat warm or cold, you can change the lemon for lime or orange.

That sounds lovely, a bit like a lemon egg custard, definitely going to give that one a go, thank you for the recipe, I have a couple of limes think I'll give it a go right now, will let you know.
Got my 3 grandkids arriving tomorrow, they are 13, 10 and 7 they keep me on my toes all the time, so I doubt I'll be on here as much as usual lol, although the girls are always looking to help with meals so will most likely want to have a look at the recipes.
well off for a wander, cya soon xx

Hi hun,
My grandkids arrived at 9.30 this morning, I am already exhausted, just about to start my first batch of exercise, although I already feel I've done 3 hours. They are supposed to be here for 4 or 5 days, but that normally turns into 2 weeks at least lol...I should be at least 2 stone lighter when they leave but I bet I'm not, must remember NOT to pick in their sweets and goodies, they have already been tempting me all morning with ice cream sodas, thankfully I am full from Breakfast lol.
Have a great day hun and catch you later xxx
