    Haha plonky!! I'm pleased I didn't end up going out last night although I might well come up to Geordieland for a few vodka and diet cokes on Wednesday for the last game (but that's after my WI so hopefully I will have enough time to work it back off again!!) Rather than looking at it as...

    xGeordieGirlxs Food Diary - angry tonight

    Although I'm new to SW, I've heard that eating plenty of speed or super speed foods will probably help. Strawberries are in season at the moment and only £1 a punnet at Asda and they are super speed foods, might be worth a try. Don't let it play on your mind though, and make sure you still...

    A Male Food Diary (with female inspiration of course!)

    Thankfully can only do a maximum of 2 early starts a week, other morning shifts start at 7am so I get a lie in lol I just feel like I'm cheating when I have syns, I know nobody likes calling this a diet but I want to lose a lot of weight, I don't feel like I can do it if I eat bad things lol

    Thanks Claire, I was hoping to be saving them for tomorrow night for the football but as it happens I'm now at work on Saturday morning rather than the afternoon (boo!) so no alcohol for me tomorrow!

    The soup was amazing!! Onion, carrot, chicken, used vermicelli pasta, lots of stock and parsley added at the end. Is it essential to have the syns? I'm feeling like I'm coping without them or will it be detrimental ok the long run if I don't have 5 a day?

    Just been reading your diary Geordie and I know what you mean about cost - how can junk food be so cheap and healthy options so expensive? No fair!!! Bad news on the job front, try to take positives though and don't let it get you down!! Chris

    Pasta sauce

    We used this basic recipe last night when the out-laws came down for dinner. Added plenty of Chilli, Basil and used a Chicken stock cube and it was DELICIOUS!! We put the Chorizo in with the sauce to cook along with plenty of onion and peppers and only syned the Chorizo. Thanks again, very...

    I know I posted in a different thread about this but we were told about the new Primula Light tube tonight at group. Half a tube (75g) is free as a Heathly Extra A.
