So I braved the scales…. +3lb L so gutted as it’s taken 3 weeks to lose that and 5 days to put it back on! I’m selling my jewellery and face painting at events all weekend but am going to prepare so that I don’t stray for the junk food / takeaways. So hard when there are always so many chip and burger vans!
Yesterday’s food…
Breakfast: Jaffa Cake Alpen Light (HexB) Coffee (HexA)
Lunch: Coated a Quorn Roast Beef Steak (1/2 syn) in home made BBQ sauce and put it in a Bfree wrap (hexB) with some lettuce
Dinner: Veggie chilli with brown rice and a 1/3 of a micro-waved poppadom (1 syn?) and one space raider crisp (1 syn?)

Nice actually - preferred it to the quorn peppered beef steaks, just had one of the 'pork' ones for lunch - bit bland to be honest! x

Haven't had the steak yet. I'm thinking the pork steak will be bland. May just stick gravy on it, or do reckon a marinate would work?
I haven't been to Iceland yet & no room in freezer whatsoever, can't even shut the door right now lol.

haven't had a chance to pop to Iceland yet so going to try and go down this week! X

yeah I think gravy on it would be lovely. I stuck a BBQ sauce on the pork one and got to be honest - it just tastes of sauce nothing else so not really worth it unless you're trying to use some syns up (but think I'd prefer a bag of crisps or something lol!) x

was so easy - roasted butternut squash, tomato and pepper in the oven whilst that was roasting I popped a tin of tomatoes, garlic, onion, chopped courgette and lea and perins in a pan and heated through. Once roasted, placed the roasted veg in with the tomato and other veggies in the pan and stirred. Poured the mix into a dish - topped with lasagne sheets, quark and grated cheese and popped in the oven - hope you like it!

On my feet all day yesterday doing face painting - when I got home my thighs were in so much pain that I had to take pain killers - ouch! Helping out at a birthday party today for a few hours too - saving for a wedding means I'm taking every little bit of extra cash that I can at the moment!
Breakfast; coffee (hexa)
Lunch: leftover lasagne with lettuce (hexa for cheese)
Dinner: home made egg fried rice (went a bit wrong as way too much egg for rice!) and quorn chicken in black bean sauce (Tesco healthy living sauce = 5.5 syns for half a jar) with added onions and peppers like the Chinese. Bit annoying after finding the syn value of this sauce to find out that I could have actually had it from the take away for the same syn value but but I'm sure my home made one would have had less oil etc than a takeaway.
Snacks : 2 salt and vinegar square crips (2 syns?) and a swig of coke (2 syns?)

It was really nice - I love lasagne - always feels like it's not 'diet' food though!
