Well, when I say homemade I mean I start off with plain cous cous. Usually cook in stock, some times add some fresh herbs (either basil, coriander, or rosemary). I then roast some veggies with garlic (I quite like butternut squash, red pepper, cherry toms, red onion, courgette (not necessarily all of these!). Sometimes add a dash of balsamic vienegar when I roast the veg. Then let it cool, stir into the cous cous, & refridgerate untill lunch the next day.

I also quite like adding chopped sundried tomatoes & olives to the cous cous, but obviously this would add some syns.

Thanks. I saw About Time, it was a really nice film.

My goal is 8st - I'm quite short so currently have a lot of fat around my tummy (& other places of course, but it's my tum I mainly want to reduce the size of!)

Tuesday 17th Sep, Week 6, Day 2

Fast Day 1

Homemade carrot soup (1 onion, garlic, 2 carrots, 1 chile, stock)

Total c. 200 kcal

Nervous for WI tomorrow, as not managed to weigh during the week so no idea what to expect. Really really hoping for a good loss as last week I had a massive gain Since last wed, I had a pretty awful night on wed & then last night was bad. But had zero / close to zero syns on every single other day & 3 fast days on Fri, Sun, & today that I properly stick to. So will be very upset if I lose less than 2lb.

 

[littlemisspiggy16]

Thank you! Houmous was lovely I thought it was just as good as the full fat shop bought varieties. Although I'm prob biased, lol.

Thursday 19th Sep, Week 6 Day 4

Weight: 8st 8.8lb

Not quite sure how that happened! Prob just a blip, but I'm not complaining, lol. Does mean I'm now aiming to see 8st8.0lb or under next Wed & will be disappointed if it doesn't happen, lol.

Mmmm, what to do about this week? Out for drinks tonight & tomorrow eves (prob also involving food) & then out all day Sat incl eats / drinks out. Will defo be as sensible as I can but does mean fast days this week will be tricky.... Unless I fasted today & stuck to diet coke tonight? But that would be so boring!!!! Oh well, will see how I feel....

UPDATE: Food for the day

Snack: 1 peach
Drinks: 2 gin with diet tonic (5 syns) - interspersed with diet tonic when I was buying so as not to face the peer pressure
Dinner: Aubergine & tomato bake (refuse to count syns, lol, as deliberately had the lowest calories thing on the menu - 450kcal - even tho the salad had dressing which I'm sure "technically" had at least a couple), large glass of red (8 syns)

So not exactly a fast day, but assuming I keep tomorrow & sat as moderate then can defo live with that

Total syns for the day: 13 (as, ahem, my meal out was totally syn-free, lol)
