Morning Rachel,

I totally understand where you are coming from as when I was in my old flat the scales used to be in the kitchen so I was literally one them at least once a day but now I am in my new house they are in a cupboard under the stairs so I don't even think about them because they are out of the way and I just get weighed every Monday now. It is frustrating when you keep seeing them go up and down but our weight can change so much from one day to the next soooo if they are out and easy to access them trying moving them to somewhere you can't see and would have to make an effort to get them out :)

Ooo let me know how you get on with the pea and mint soup....I really enjoyed it when I had it. I had a few people at work take the mickey because it was bright green haha. x

I think hiding them is definitely a good idea!! I shall do that when I get home.

I will do! Is it a thick soup? I hope so, I love thick soups! x
 
Hi Rachel,

Yes its a thick soup :) I am exactly the same, don't like watery soup. The pic below is the pic from the book....I think its nice to see pics of what it should look like x

Oooh that looks lovely!! Hopefully will get to make that tonight! Will see if Sainsburys have any good containers!

Thank you for posting that :) x
 
I'm going to try the pea soup too - I love all things pea!
I'm a serial weigher too, the threat of the scales keeps me on track. I only take proper notice of my Wednesday wi though.

Morning ladies, I made this last night as I found it on Pete's recipes yesterday and I had everything in for it and fancied something different for my dins and it is delicious so thought I would share :) Here is how mine turned out:

pasta quiche.jpg

Pete’s Cheese & Broccoli Quiche

Ingredients

1 Large onion, finely sliced (s) (sff)
1 Pack of Bachelors Super Pasta “n” Sauce, cheese & broccoli (ff)
3 Eggs, whipped (ff)
6 Medium mushrooms cut into small cubes (s) (sff)
60g Strong Cheddar cheese (2 Hea/4=0.5 Hea per person)
80g Pack of diced pancetta (8 syns/4=2 syns per person)
125ml water
375ml Skimmed milk (1Hea/4=0.25 Hea per person)

Method

Preheat the oven to 160C.
In a frying pan, cook the pancetta to remove as much fat as possible, drain & add the diced mushrooms & onion, cook for 10 mins.
In a large saucepan, bring the milk & water to the boil; add the pasta, mix & cook at a low boil for 10 mins.
In a glass bowl mix 3 eggs with ½ of the cheese quantity.
In a quiche or lasagne dish tip the pasta, mix the eggs to it & cook for 20 mins, remove & add the remaining cheese, return to the oven for 10 mins.
 
Well I am only 2 days in to this week but I am feeling like it's got off to a good start :) Just to add re the recipe above, I used bacon instead of pancetta as didn't really want to add syns to it. I have got it for my lunch today and I weighed my cheese after I had grated it and it was 90g so I will be classing my quarter I have for lunch as 1 ha as I didn't put as much milk in :)

Morning ladies,

How are you all doing? To say it's Friday I am feeling rather refreshed as last night I went to bed at 7pm and slept nearly all the way through so ended up with 10 hours sleep haha. This morning while getting ready though I was using my curling wand and dropped it on to my leg and now got a lovely long burn at the top of my leg which is stinging!!

My food diary for today is:

Friday 13/09 - EE Day

Breakie

30g honey nut shreddies (hb)
Half of my 250ml SS milk (1/2 ha) - rest will be used for teas
1 banana

Lunch

Left over shepherds pie (2)
Small amount of gravy (0.5)
1 flat peach
WW yog

Tea tonight is a takeaway and it's either Inidian or Chinese so will update later and try to work syns out for what I have :)

Daily syns so far: 2.5
Weekly syns so far: 31.5/105
