WK23 D7 (Thur 16th June) - Green....WI
had a late breakfast early lunch today, tasty it was too!!
Brunch: SW fry-up
2xquorn sausages, baked beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, 2 poached eggs, 2x400g hovis (HEB)
went to WI..... ooops, a 1lb gain, ok, I'm alright(ish) with it, it's either
A) a bit of a catch-up from my biz trip, as that was such a small gain last week or
B) me being complacent drinking beer the night before WI,
I had stopped doing so, but week I went away, I had 4 pints, and still had a 2.5lb loss, last week, after my trip, I had 3 1/2 pints, with only a 1lb gain....OK note to self - no beer on a Wednesday!!
Dinner: fishless kedgeree with SW raita
(basically leftover smooth mushy pea curry, leftover rice and a couple off eggs and all mixed up)
mushy peas, baked beans, tomatoes, brown rice, hardboiled eggs, vlf natural yoghurt, cucumber,
Very tasty too..
Had an after WI treat, been after the new Stella Artois Cidre for a while, and managed to get some after shopping last night
Glad I only bought 2, it was lush.....nearly had a heart attack today when I looked them up......a flipping 14.5 syns a bottle (I always check in advance before eating/drinking but it was after WI)...ouch :cry:then I was really glad I only had 2, 'cos they went down so, so easily...gulp.
Anyway, Friday - new day!! Have a good week everyone

Hi Geoff, must admit I don't do vodka - never really found the point of it.... seems by the time you've added the mixer, it just tastes of the mixer.... although I know there are so many more now, so I might be bring a bit harsh, as my vodka trying days were 20 odd years ago.
I've always been a bitter drinker, but the last 3 years I only drank lager , then suddenly 3 weeks ago I started on the bitter again - weird!!! anyway, think I'll stick to weekends only again, fingers crossed it'll be ok

Tried quite hard (well, a bit
)The cheesecake was a must to buy, it was reduced with 2 days use-by day for a whole whopping 10 pence lol, couldn't resist that for him....now bearing in mind pre-SW we'd a a whole cheesecake between us in 1 go, he had a quater and said it was far too rich, so, I wouldn't have liked it anyway (PHEW)
Beer - well, Friday I tried, so was happy with 3....Sunday, was a bit of a sacrifice, and I would've probably had 4 if he was driving, so that was a good call
As you know, foodwise, I'm normally pretty OK, it's just the beer.... so, stick to weekends only, then that's it...hoping for the 2lb that I was before I went away.
Saw you did the Chinese yesterday...I had one Friday before I went away....and thoroughly enjoyed it....didn't syn it, but was careful

That's all we can do hun, isn't it ... just try to make the best choices. After all, like you say, we would have probably finished a whole cheesecake! Gawd blimey ... I should be losing more weight when I think of what I used to eat and drink!
Re the chinese ... it was nice but like you I chose carefully! That kind of food isn't my friend at the mo ... my tum is swollen again

Oh dear...that's really not good is it..... what do you reckon? The wheat noodles???
Must admit, the easiest places to eat for me are Wetherspoons grill night - steak, jacket & salad (which I always chose before SW anyway) or harvester, I can easily bypass the afters....ha, If I go Wetherspoons from work, I take a couple of laughing cow to put in my spud.... so avoiding the fullfat mayo!!

I used Asda good for you caesar dressing..... 1 tbs = 0.5 syn YAY
Not quite the same as fullfat, but it's been so long, I didn't really notice whether is was 'normal' or not
I 'fried' with frylight a slice of bread really slowly on a low heat, and I used lowlow, as I don't keep parmesan even to syn it
I love, love, loved it
