Back to old faithfull

Hi all, I am back after faffing about with different diets in and off for a year I've decided to come back here as I know it works! I only stopped because I plateaued for months and got bored! Then I started my new job ten months ago and put a stone back on because of the shift work I'm eating at odd times and being unorganised but I have to make a big change now. I will be starting officially on Monday as I am on nights until then and I'm trying to get my head around the books and things again, i want to try and do mostly red days so I would love so ideas and support from you all, I'm going to need it!

I have a Christmas staff do on 5th December so that's my aim for half a stone at least, but my goal is to drop a stone maybe more I haven't weighed myself in three weeks as my scales are broken so, I am awaiting my new ones so I will have my official weight then.......oh no...

Please feel free to come say hi I am doing this from home so will need you guys!

I am sure you will get more than 1/2 a stone by December, good luck!

Hi all so my plan for tomo
Extra easy

B-
Tutti frutti , lots of pineapple and mango with muller light coconut all free and ss

L- sticky gammon and egg noodles 1 syn for the hunny (serve 4)

Ingredients
2 tsp Chinese 5-Spice powder
4 x 175g gammon steak cut into bite-sized pieces (remove all the fat first)
Frylite or other syn-free cooking spray
2 red chillies, deseeded and finely sliced
Finely grated zest and juice of an orange
1 level tbsp of runny honey
100 ml of chicken stock
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
I'm using stir fry veg but recipe says pak choi
Egg noodles to serve

Method

1 - Cook the noodles according to packet instructions

2 - Sprinkle the 5-spice powder over the gammon pieces.

3 - Put a few sprays of frylite into a wok or large frying pan.

4 - Cook the gammon over a high heat for around 2-3 minutes until the edges are slighty browned.

5 - Add the soy sauce, honey, red chillies, orange zest and juice and stock and simmer for 4-5 minutes or until the sauce becomes sticky and the gammon is glazed and golden (with slightly burned edges if you like that sort of thing).

6 - Serve straight away with pak choi and cooked egg noodles, and any pan juices poured over.

I would like a few pounds off for my fiancés 30th to that's 31st August but I am such a slow loser! We're see, ill update my weight tomo if there are scales at the gym I'm sure there must be!

Tuesday day 2 extra easy (I will be out for lunch)

I know I've only done one day but I'm feeling better already.. I didn't manage to weigh at the gym as I was running late and isn't want to weigh after my class but I've ordered some scales and they should be here by latest Friday so I will have a proper weigh then.

B- all bran chocolate crunch 30g (hxb), 100ml 1% milk1/2 hxa), followed by a banana

L- crab salad with a few new potatoes (2syns) for a tiny bit of vinagarette , and watched my friends tuck into the nicest pieces of cake it's a little cake shop and everyone drools at the sote of these cakes, but I had two small scoops of vanilla ice cream instead (5syns), it was hard but I'm glad and it's still a little treat !

D- five bean quorn chilli with wholemeal rice and a smudge of cheese to make up for my hxa
Followed by strawberries and mullerlight

S- fruit 1 oaty cookie (4)

OATY COOKIES - I doubles the recipie and made 6 bigger ones so they are 4syns each if not using oats as hxb

5 Syns for all the cookies, if using the oats as your HEX

1 large ripe banana
35g quick-cook porridge oats

Spray a baking tray with Frylight or line with non-stick baking paper.
Mash the banana in a bowl with a fork. If you're following the plan to the letter, this is where the 5 Syns come in - still can't get my head round that really!
Mix in the porridge oats (and some sweetener, if you like things a bit sweeter) and blob onto the baking tray. Sometimes I add some cinnamon at this point.
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180C/gas mk. 4 on the middle shelf for approx. 15 mins.


Syns 11/15

Exercise: 1 hour body pump, 20 min bike ride
