Diary of a menopausal Yorkshire lass...

[Nanny Doreen]

It's a schwartz kit I use, you put chicken, rice, tomatoes, peas and onions into an oven bake bag, sprinkle in the spice mix, swish it around (carefully) and bung it in the oven. It's really easy and very tasty. I count the whole kit as 3 syns. It's also nice cold as a snack or reheated in the microwave.

Thanks Mandy have made a note of that.xx

Dinner - oven baked haddock, actifry chips and peas

Snack - smoothie ice pop made in new gadget mmmmm

Evening Mandy ,im back lol.............what did i miss ? what gadget is this ? ""smoothie ice pop made in new gadget"" tell all please... your food diary is looking grand. im worse than a drug addict im down to 1 banana a day now, but getting there. All good with you ?

 

[Clapper&Ham]

Hi Moira
All is good ta!
I missed you - thought you'd gone into banana rehab
It's called a zoku from lakeland. You freeze the body of it, take it out of the freezer and pour whatever you fancy in - Strawberry and banana smoothie - and you have a lolly in under 10 minutes! You can make three before you have to put it back in the freezer. It's going to be my new fave thing before it's eventually put in the cupboard of unused kitchen gadgets lol.

 

[Happy Holidays]

You know you have to syn smoothies

 

[bikerbabe 44]

i have one of those cupbords too, i was just going to mention the syns in fruit mashed up

 

[Clapper&Ham]

Yup I know, but it's worth it. They're not very big and take a while to eat!
Yum!

The weather is also on the turn

 

[Claire L]

Good Luck with your weigh in mandy
By the way how are going with the 'dry' June? - you inspired me to give it a try - I'm only at day 3 - harder than I thought - I seem to be obsessing a bit - LOL !!

 

[Clapper&Ham]

Hi Claire

I'm more having a dry weekdays June now lol. In total though I only had a bottle of wine over the weekend which is a vast improvement and not enough to provoke alcohol induced binging. I hope I can keep it to that because it was nice not to wake up feeling slightly ropey in a pile of crumbs...

Keep up the good work - it is harder than you first think!

 

[Clapper&Ham]

Snacks - tomato soup, 3 x werthers sugar free sweets and a small bowl of raspberry sorbet.

Am really nervous about tomorrow, I might have a sneaky peek in the morning

 

[bikerbabe 44]

good luck for your weigh in tomorrow evening, i think you should stay away from the scales in the morning, wait till you get properly weighed cos your scales are sure to be different.

 

[Clapper&Ham]

Wednesday 12th

Today's the day!
I managed to avoid the scales this morning so I'll have to wait until tonight. I feel less bloated which is a good sign.

Breakfast - muller and oats

Lunch - chicken hotpot

Dinner - sw spaghetti bolognese

Snack - popcorn

 

[Clapper&Ham]

2 1/2 off!
Not a bad first week!

Thursday 13th June

Dunno what's wrong with me this week, I feel sort of yukky and lacking in energy. I'm also feeling a bit grumpy, I hope it's not PMT, I've gone over 11 weeks now and was sort of hoping that would be it!
However, on a brighter note, I'm still really pleased with my wi result

So onwards...

Breakfast - sultana bran and milk

Lunch - turkey and salad sandwich

Dinner - corned beef hash

Snacks - popcorn - thanks for another idea Moira!

I might chuck a bit more free food in along the way as I don't think I'm eating enough and that might be why I'm feeling out of sorts.

It is hard, it's still the first thing I want when I get in from work after a sh!tty day, and weekends just aren't right without it.
Hmm, maybe I do have a problem :argh:
