Feeling so tired and weird today- had the shakes and felt really unstable. Not nice at all.
Think totm may have something to do with it since they are coinsiding- maybe my iron levels are a little low And im blaming that for my adding on a tub of ben and jerrys plus a jamaican ginger cake/ custard onto my online shopping as well!!
Im going to be on plan for meals but i will be indulging in my sweet treats over the weekend (hubby is on a stag weekend so its just me and my little munchkin- although i have work on Saturday. Major dislike.)

[Poppet12]

That's a tasty food day! As you said, no need to be too strict on yourself, you've got sw in mind which is a great start!
Love Jamaica ginger cake, haven't had it for ages!
Hope you manage to have a nice weekend despite work, and feel better! I've had that the shaky/unstable feeling before and it was my sugars crashing if it could be anything to do with that? Xx

 

[freakydarkstuff]

Thanks Rosie!!

Woke up with a terrible headache and feeling pretty blah Just a day in with my munchkin in my jogging bottoms!! Hoping i haven't got a bug thats going around- although that generally starts with cold/ flu symptoms (followed by severe vomiting and diarrhea) and i dont have that!

Could be sugar-crash related too! Hadnt even thought about that.

Thought I'd change my profile pic to a wedding one- love my dress!! Such a shame that its just sat in my spare bedroom in its bag

 

[Poppet12]

Ooh the headache says sugar to me lovely! Hope you manage to ride it out and feel more human! Def a day in type day, it's chucking down here.
Love your pic! You look really slender and the shape of the neckline really suits you! X

 

[MelonCollie]

Hi Lisa.

Sorry for not popping in, I don't really come on all to much lately.

Just wanted to say a big congratulations on your wedding! I'm sorry that it didn't all go to plan, but I'm sure your new photos will be lovely.

Hope you're feeling better now.

Btw your new pic looks absolutely beautiful! xx

[MelonCollie]

I know how hard it is to resist ben and jerrys! I only let myself have it when I'm ill and can't stomach anything else as I also can't stop lol!

I would say just write off yesterday and try to stay on plan today

That favour sounds absolutely lush!

 

[snowbryneich]

I hope I never see that flavour because I would love it (and I also love the jamaican ginger cake) I can easily eat a whole one - in fact in my bad days I used to buy one and eat it like a chocolate bar out of the packet not even slicing it - how bad is that. You made good choices in your meals though so as MC says get back on plan now and don't stress about the whups day.

 

[freakydarkstuff]

Saturday and Sunday werent much better than Friday. Again most of my meals were SW friendly but i binged a little on naughtiness- including jaffa cakes and some celebrations... And a Pizza Hut last night.

[Poppet12]

Yay for 1 lb down! All in the right direction. Yummy pizza hut! OH wanted one but he was told no. He will thank me when he goes away on stag do!
It's funny I have had a yearning for b&j, I bet it's after reading it here!! Could you leave it in the freezer if you bought it x

Well done on your pound off!

I wouldn't be able to have ice cream in my house. It would all go.
However the low syn stuff is happy to sit in the freezer.. I've had some mini twisters since last summer because when I'm in an ice cream mood i go out and buy a cornetto instead!

I also really want to try those new magnums..

 

[snowbryneich]

Well done on your loss Lisa. I couldn't have ice cream I like in. Too tempting. I buy store brand mint choc chip icecream for my OH (I actually love mint ice cream if you could get it on it's own which you can't but don't like the dark chocolate chips in choc chip)

I've got some mini twisters in too MC- I did like them but forgot about them and now they are all ice crystally and not nice so they get ignored haha.

 

[freakydarkstuff]

Thanks ladies!!

Oooh mini twisters sound good- how many syns are they? I always have a twister if im out and about and fancy ice cream. Ive heard the big ones aren't too bad for syns either.

I have mini milks in my freezer for low syn summer days! And a bag of frozen fruits. Hubby loves choc ices so we always have them too but I'm not a fan thankfully!

 

[freakydarkstuff]

A bit rusty at updating every evening!! Oops.

Had masses of superfree yesterday- i made some SW coleslaw and intended to make it last 3/4 portions... Except it was so delicious i ate over half of it! But mainly veg anyway! Whole mix was white cabbage, red onion, radishes, carrots, 3 tbsp wholegrain mustard 1.5syns, 3 tbsp EL mayo and 5 tbsp fat free fromage frais (plus generous amount of seasoning).
Also didn't realise how much more i wanted to eat all this veg when I'd popped it through the food processor and it was sliced

Drinks: Cups of tea (1 with 1tsp sugar 1syn, the rest with sweetener and skimmed milk part hexA) Flavoured fizzy water. SF orange squash.
Syn Total - 11.5syns

 

[MelonCollie]

They're 2 syns each according to app, but the calories are so close to 2.5 that I prefer to play it safe and syn them at 2.5 instead. (Unless I want that extra half a syn and cheat, lol!!)

Your Coleslaw sounds amazing! I may have to copy you
Other food also sounds good.. hmmm..
I Want rock cake now, though

Snow, mine are also crystally lol!
I took one out of the freezer and gave it to the dogs yesterday as it was so hot! I had a 1 syn push up ice lolly instead.. Which the dogs also got because I couldn't decide if I liked it or not. Haha! I love the walking bins

 

[snowbryneich]

I'm glad mc remember as I had no idea and mine aren't even in the box to check the calories as I chucked that as it was taking up room - they are just languishing squashed and crystally at the bottom of the freezer drawer. I do like the triangle shaped push up lollies that are one syn but only certain flavours cola and stawberry are nice, cherry is my fav but you hardly see it and the orange tastes of sweetner.
