It always amazes me how it does work, It's the only one I can happily stick to and even when I'm not "dieting" I still use a lot of the recipes etc. Because I love them :)
 
Saturday's food
Bit of an odd day as I actually went into work as we are prepping for CHA which is the largest trade show in the craft and hobby industry, so it's a big thing and everything has to be perfect for the stand and our big new product launch. All very exciting but as we ordered out for food and the place we ordered from wasn't doing jacket spuds yesterday only chippy food I ended up having fish and chips. It was the smallest fish and chips I've ever seen but still, the tray was smaller than my phone lol! The fish was probably no bigger that a couple of battered fish fingers. Plus yesterday we had visitors at work from a Japanese company and they brought all sorts of yummy goodies in and so I had to try a couple of Japanese cookies too lol!

B: None
L: Fish 8, chips 10 and mushy peas
D: Cottage cheese with chives, Ham, Cucumber, tomatoes, beetroot, 4 Ryvita multigrain(HEXB) +2
S: Cookies 10, Hifi orange bar 3, 250ml semi skimmed mild for drinks (HEXA)
Syns for day 33

I hadn't heard of it ontil I saw a recipe on Twochubbycubs fb page for a risotto type thing with it. I'm not that fussed about nando's but it's Katy's favourite, I always thing the food is rubbish, it's like frozen oven chips and packet savoury rice with a bit of grilled chicken for and extortionate amount of money, rather have a KFC lol!
