Thread: Time to end my journey!

Soo...
Line drawn under last week... raring to go now for next (or this?) week

Breakfast will have to be a couple of clementines again as I want my heB (Magic porridge) tonight

Lunch is my left over cottage pie (2syns), with the rest (so half a bag) of the spinach.

Dinner... well, I'm stumped!!
Thinking I may make the SW Lasagna, but with turkey mince as I have some in the fridge.
heA will be milk so I can have a lovely frothy Latte (home made not shop bought)

I usually have my full weekend of food planned out by now but I'm a little behind... Must get this sorted today to avoid having a rubbish weekend.

Me and OH have said we will finally switch the Wii on tonight and do a few rounds of boxing
Hopefully a couple of longish dog walks will be on the agenda with little Taylor too x

*** UPDATED ***

Who am I trying to kid? My heA will deffo be cheese if I am making lasagna xx

Hey

SW lasagne sounds gfood, have you made it before, is it nice?

Well I'm gonna start walking more too, me and the OH have been on a long walk this evening and really enjoyed it (minus the snowballs getting lobbed at me every 5 mins, resulting in me getting angry and acting like his mum lol)

You've done so well with your weight loss I'm sure you will find it no problem to get them pesky 2lbs off xx

I hope not xx

So Friday was my first attempt at SW lasagna (but using turkey mince) and it really was delicious

Even the OH half loved it and went back for seconds and thirds x

I will do my full wkend update tonight or tomorrow as my laptop is goosed and I'm just left with my iPod!!

Your walks do sound like mine though Chelle I must admit lol x

that lasagne sounds delish, i must make some!

look forward to your update x

So.. That lasagne!! I used the SW recipe and although I usually change recipes a lot to suit, I stuck to theirs and have to say the nutmeg in the yogurt actuall worked out really well and made the sauce soooo yummy!!
My version of lasagne contains a litre of semi skimmed milk and about 300g of cheese for the sauce alone. Add a bit of standard minced beef and as much olive oil as you can get away with and there you have it... heart attack dressed up as pasta lol!!
SW Lasagne is a winner for me and will be repeated this month
The Roulade however not so great... don't get me wrong, I ate almost the entire thing, but not in a rush to make it again

My weekend went as follows foodwise (i would add piccies but for the fact I have no way to upload them right now with my pc and laptop being bust)...

Friday:10 Syns
2 Nimble = heB
2 tsp CBINB = 2 Syns
2 Clementines = SF
Cottage pie meat mixture (no spuds) = 2 Syns (Lean mince)

Dash of milk = 0.5 Syns
Lasagne with Spinach (x2servings) = 3 Syns
35g cheese = heA
Chocolate Roulade (most of it) = 2.5 Syns
with Cherries = SF
Apple = SF

Saturday:10 Syns
No breakfast
Late lunch
KFC Style Chicken pieces = heB (breadcrumbs) + 3 Syns (Just incase there was any skin left that I didn't see)
Mixed Salad = SF
Dinner
Lasagne (Again) = 2 Syns (Large portion)
Spinach & Rocket = SF
Choc Ice = 5 Syns
Snack
Danone Snackpot = FREE

5 cherry tomatoes = SF
Rocket Salad = SF
2 Nimble = heB
Snack
7 chocolate buttons = 1 Syn
Clementine = SF
Starbucks... Tall Skinny Sugar Free Vanilla Latte = 7 Syns (oversynned this just incase as the staff didn't know what they were doing so not sure the syrup was sugar free or the milk was skimmed even though I did ask and they nodded. Very yummy though)
Lunch
Homemade soup = SF
(tomatoes, passata, celery, onions, shallots, chickpeas, ginger, garlic, Chilli and plenty of spices)
Dinner
Homemade Soup (it was that good) = SF
with Chicken breast = FREE
Milk in starbucks/couple of brews = heA (bit of guesswork here I know)
Snack
Another 7 chocolate buttons = 1 Syn

Again, no walking... hardly moved my bum at all, it was Sunday though
I always feel the need to eat like i've never been fed on a sunday night when he goes to work, out of boredom I suppose, but it could have been worse than a fruit and yogurt smoothie


I've had half a bowl of magic porridge with pomegranate for breakfast today and walked for 45 minutes
Homemade Soup for lunch... Yummy xx

Glad I got all that off my chest.
Need to go and lay down now ha xx

all your food sounds yummy

i went on a long walk today after work and now im knackered! i think the dog thinks i can run as fast as her, she practicaly pulled me home!

i keep saying im going to make that magic porridge but i never do, is it really nice? x

It is quite yummy yes BUT i think the real pull is the texture. It feels like it should be naughty.

And it's filling enough to split into breakfast and pudding at tea time!!

I have used muller lights to do it but often use fat free natural yogurt with some nutmeg, cinnamon and a bit of sweetener... mmm!!

I'm off sson to do my last mini shop before payday... so i have about £7 to spend

Once tea (cottage pie) is int oven I will take my little terror out for a quick walk round the houses.

Can't wait for weekend... we are buying her a little coat from a lovely independent pet shop near us (she shivers when we go out and I'm too soft!!! Told the OH she just has to have a coat lol) and then we are going to one of the reservoirs near us for a long walk and a bit of off leading and fetch (away from the water tho ha!)

It was so funny when we went for a coat... Taylor had been sick in the car that morning so he wouldn't let her in it again when we went to the pet shop for a jacket. It wasn't until we got there that it dawned on him that she really did need to be there to try it on

haha aw bless, she will be all warm and cosey, ive got one for my dog she loves it, its wollen inside and really warm

enjoy your mini shop

So... Did my mini shop and got spinach (of course), tomatoes, passata, eggs and extra light mayo. Oh and southern fried chicken for the OH xx

Made cottage pie with toms, leeks, beans, bovril, quorn mince and tons of onions!! Yum, forgot my spinach though so had to make amends with an apple afterwards; lots of the pie was SF luckily. Served it with a heA choice of cheese grated over the top (funny I didn't forget that huh?)

Snacks were 7 chocolate buttons (1 syn) and a choc ice (5 syns)

Altogether an ok day foodwise

Got a nice surprise when my OH drove towards me while I was walking home to give me a lift; he wasn't starting work til 6pm which was nice!! Of course I missed a bit of exercise but I will take it on the chin lol

Up early this morning so quick breakfast of mini choc weetabix with milk and a tangerine xx

xxx Valentines flowers were lovely btw xxx

Got an hour til the alarm goes off so back to bed for me xx

So... today as it stands..

Breakfast:
Mini Choc Weetabix: heB
with Milk: heA
Lunch:
Stag Veg Chili: 2.5 Syns
Spinach: SF
Peas: FREE
Pasta: FREE

Plus 45 minute walk to work and a bit of valentines day exercise xx

Had a sneeky peak on the scales and regardless of the actual numbers there is a small downward trend so hoping I can keep that up until Thurdsay


I have been researching some Red Day menus for myself for next week and have managed to find 2 full days that will work for me; once i have a minimum of 3 days I will be sure to fit these into next weeks menu.

Struggling with green but I am more of a meat/fish person tbh. Only need a small jacket spud and loads of veg to make a meal with these
