Happy Easter everyone Hope everyone has had a lovely day. I've spent the day with my Mum and Sister. We watched some NCIS, the new Doctor Who, and played some board games. Have had one hell of a naughty day off today Although probably not anywhere near as bad as previous years. Just having the one day off, I learned my lesson taking too much time off from SW over Xmas and New Year! Wont be making that mistake again.

Hopefully the exercise will help me work off whatever I put on yesterday. Just need to portion up my Easter chocolate into handy syn packs I think

Went to the pictures today and ate out, but managed to squeeze in some exercise and I ate sensibly I took some mini eggs I had bagged up myself, worth 6 syns, for the pictures. And we ate at Bar Burrito, and I had a Burrito Bowl so I didn't have to syn the bread/wrap. I'm not really sure how to syn it, but I thought I would pick an EE day so I could have the chicken. All's that was in it was flame grilled chicken, flash fried veg (no oil from what I could see!), boiled rice, spicy beans, salsa, lettuce, a teeny sprinkling of grated cheese, and a little squirt of sour cream. The good thing about this place is that everything is made on site and you get to see everything that's in it-no hidden nasties. So I think I will just use the rest of today's syns towards it. Hopefully that will be more than enough!

Lunch: Tin of Sainsbury's veggie spaghetti bolognese (3.5 syns) over a jacket spud, with a handful of salad.

[cheekychinchilla]

Hello Thank you Allie I will have a look anyway, but the food was all bought today and it was everything my Sister wanted. If I had of had time to plan or if it had of been for me it would nearly all be syn free. But no, I have to 'join in' and eat what everyone else is :sigh: I'm sure I'll enjoy it, but I've been trying so hard lately and really trying to avoid going over syns or being flexi too often. Probably less syns than eating out tho I guess. As soon as my shoulder is better I'll be running and walking as much as possible xx

 

[cheekychinchilla]

She only decided for certain today and we went shopping this afternoon! I'm gonna make sure I only have one bun (although, of course they are white ) and fill up on salad, rice, pasta, and low syn Quorn stuff. I know I wont be able to avoid all the naughty stuff, but I will try
Thank you so much for reading and posting to help

 

[cheekychinchilla]

I have quite a few pets, can only walk the dogs tho
I've pretty much decided I want to train as a vet nurse now! I volunteer at my own vets twice a week now and really enjoying it. It can be really hard work, but very interesting and rewarding too! Just wish I had of decided a bit sooner that it was something I wanted to do
