Trying something new today, my mum saw this recipe on Facebook and she made it and it was delicious! Basically you make up a packet of Batchelor's low fat rice (I think she used the golden rice one) and mix in 3 whisked eggs, you can add chopped ham or chicken or extra veg if you like! Then pour the mixture into a loaf tin and put it in the oven for approx 25 mins at 200c. It was really really nice. I'll put up a pic of mine when I make it! Just thinking it'll be handy for lunches when I get back to work

The rice loaf is nice, but I think next time I will make it with a different flavour rice and add some spices or smoked bacon to it. It is so handy for snacking on when you have the munchies though!

Hey Hun - well done on the 2lb off!!!!:banana dancer: what a great start.
Your rice loaf sounds good, but have you got a Morrisons near you? They sell a tin of chick pea dahl, the brand is called Sundar, which is 0 syns per tin, if you use curry flavour packet rice, cook it up as you did before, then add the tin of chick pea dahl and a couple of eggs - bake it in a loaf tin - it is really really tasty. The tinned chick pea dahl is really nice just to have with rice anyway, I use to have it quite a lot with 2 min tandoori rice (3) for a super fast meal - try it out.

That chick pea Dahl sounds lovely! No morrisons near me unfortunately. I'm in Ireland. Wonder if anywhere here does it? Will keep an eye out! Going to try the slimmingeats carbonara recipe. Just realized I'll be using my healthy a option in it so no hot choc for me tonight!!

What a shame! You could try googling Sundar and see where they stock it maybe. They must have equivalents over there - Asda do a good chickpea dahl but I have no idea what the syn value is for that - please tell me you have Asda in Ireland! Where in Ireland are you? I have never been despite me being 1/4 Irish!
I havent tried the Slimming Eats one, but the one I do (recipe in my food diary) is to die for. If I have the syns I put 28g of chorizo in too (2.5 syns), hmmmm. Enjoy your tea tonight!

Yes we have Asda but not nearby! I'm in the northeast about 50km from Dublin.
The carbonara from slimmingeats was delicious!! Must try your recipe next time. Think I will go shopping tomorrow, need to stock up! Weather is awful here this evening, we took the dogs to the beach & only stayed for 10 mins. It's so stormy!!
I'm going out for lunch tomorrow but will try my best to be good!

Whyyyyyy oh why !!!!
Got a tuna wrap at lunchtime & followed it up with rhubarb crumble & ice cream.
Now I have a serious case of the munchies! And I can't even go out for a walk because it's pouring down. Oh well! I know when I'm back at work & in my routine I'll do much better

Saturday 18.8.12
I am determined to be good this weekend! Made a bit extra spaghetti bolognese yesterday to have for lunch today so that I wouldn't be tempted by salad rolls from the deli (which has become too regular in the past few months!) Went to the fruit shop again today and stocked up, so I have plenty to keep me going until Monday at least
We are going to one of the hotels that we viewed for our wedding today! We have an appointment at 3pm with the manager to talk about prices, etc. So excited! I really really love this place so I hope we can sort something out today. Just cannot wait to have a date set so that I have something definite to work toward.
Here's today's plan:
Breakfast: No lemon this morning just didn't feel like it! So had a banana, 2 weetabix (b) with milk from (a) and then a cup of coffee.
Snack: 2 satsumas & a purple snack!! I couldn't help myself! 5.5 syns already!
Lunch: Leftover spag bol followed by fruit salad of apple, banana, strawberries & Mullerlight.
Snack: Mullerlight milkshake with the rest of my (a) choice
Dinner: Don't know what to cook for dinner, might pop in to the butcher later and get some steaks.
I have a night out tomorrow with my bridesmaids! We are going to have some drinks in mine and then go out to the pub and maybe a nightclub. I am going to try my very best to be extra good. Plan is to stick to vodka & diet 7up at home, I'm saying approx 3 of them so 7.5 syns, and then maybe 1 or 2 more when I go out and then straight onto plain old diet 7up! Here's hoping I can stick to it! There's a bottle of prosecco in the fridge that I plan on opening tomorrow evening for the girls but I think if I do I'll want some! Aaahh!!
