Boobs be gone...

I'm not a big fan of quark or fromage frais to be honest, this is the only recipe I like it in. My go to sweet treat is the SW Eton mess, tastes soooo fattening and takes seconds to throw together.
I'm studying a joint degree in Theology & Ethics and History, its my first year but I'm enjoying it so far. Last year I did an access course to get me in to Uni as I don't have my A levels. I left school to go to college and study Animal Behaviour and Welfare, but decided later in life I didn't want to work with animals, but i still breed and show dogs and until a few weeks ago I kept sheep, pigs and poultry.
 
Oh wow. Lovely. My mum has show dogs. Two westies and two Scotties and a rescue lassie as well as two donkeys. And the odd sheep who sneaks in from my uncles farm next door.
 
I've always wanted a donkey, they are so sweet :) or a mule, they are also super cute.

I was a bit disappointed this morning when I got on the scales and it was showing a 3lb gain. I know I've kept within my syns, but I feel like I'm letting myself down being so sedentary at the moment. However, I know what it feels like when your back REALLY goes and I'd rather gain a few pounds than have that happen.
  • Breakfast, banana
  • Lunch, HM cous cous with creme fraiche (3syns), some grapes and a peppermint tea.

Back is feeling a bit better this afternoon, hoping to be able to cope with doing a shop tomorrow. Can't see the exercise starting up again anytime soon though, might start off with a swim next week.
  • Dinner, SW KFC Chicken with chips, mixed veg and mayo (2syns)
KFC chicken was lovely, that recipe is def going in the big black book.... Tasted just like KFC minus the grease, I did miss the grease a bit though. I wasn't sure what spices to use so ended up with x2 tbsp paprika, x2 tbsp Cajun spice and x2 tbsp classic BBQ spices, as that's what I had in the cupboard.

Had a skinny mocha from my OHs coffee machine (3syns) doesn't taste nice without sugar....
 
Does anything taste nice without sugar. I never thought so at first but I'm used to the sweeteners now that when I do have sugar it's too sweet
 
My mum gave up sugar in her tea and can't drink it with sugar now. I gave up coffee mate in my coffee, does that count?

The skinnies missed out on their pizza night last night as we went shopping after dinner, so they had their pizza tonight, leaving me to have some fish. Have to say, really fancied a pizza tonight, a dominos pizza smothered in coleslaw (you'd be surprised how weird I am).
  • Dinner, Fish Pie from the SW mag.
  • Pudding, muller light, banana and crushed meringue (2syns)
Total 10syns

Bit disappointed with my half off this morning. Was registering as 2 off last night, but I have to not cheat and take the results from Sat morning. Hopefully it will show next week.
  • breakfast, bacon, tomato and scrambled egg
Tried the frylight butter for the first time in my scrambled eggs. I was pleasantly surprised, might try my favourite boozy banana recipe with it next :)

* week has arrived which might explain my fluctuating weight for the past few days. The OH has bought a packet of fajitas and I'm sorely tempted to have a few and sod the syns. I've been 100% for well over a week so I might treat myself tonight, just the fajitas though, I'm not going to let it take over my night, or week.

  • Dinner, Chicken fajitas (12syns) with creme fraiche (3syns)

I was just talking about having fajitas with oh. They are my Fav I am so shocked knowing the syn value as they were something I would have had most weeks at least twice. I just bought a tray of eggs was gonna make some egg wraps for them this week. See how they work out.
