[Dougal1983]

Looks like man is very content. Glad you had a lovely day x

Thanks
Yeh, as Paul put it, it's like adventure playground at his mums lol.
She can't resist buying him things and obv all the chairs, toys etc are for a practical reason too as it saves us having to bring half the house with us when we go to visit our mums.
My mum is off work this week and she's going to be sorting and decorating my old bedroom for Oliver so she wants me and Oliver to go with her to ToysRus to help pick out some chairs, toys etc
If I have to hey!

Today we are popping out to do a bit of shopping, for me!
Need some new trainers and winter clothes... Plus we need to look at a few things for Oliver, he could do with some warmer clothes plus he's starting to grow out of his 3-6 months sleep suits so need to get some next size up.
Walk with the dogs too... And hubby is making KFC chicken tonight
It's one of my fave SW recipes

So today's plan:

A- 350ml skimmed milk

B- 27g sachet Quaker multigrain oats

Breakfast: A&B with 1tsp Nutella (1.5 Syns), coffee made with milk (from A) x3

Lunch: chicken salad with fat free vinaigrette
Robinsons NAS squash
Walkers pops melted cheese and bacon (4 Syns)

Dinner: KFC chicken (1.5 Syns) with chips and salad
Sprite zero
Curly Wurly (6 Syns)

Daily Syns: 13/15

Today me and Oliver are going out for lunch with my mum, sister and a couple of friends I used to work with (my mum works with them now ) to a nice little pub called The Beagle in Ipswich.
Already looked ahead at the menu and decided on the best choice... Just got to avoid the pudding menu...
But as I've had a sneak peek at my scales and they are down, that's my motivation to not have a pudding!

So today's food plan:

Extra Easy

A- 350ml skimmed milk
B- 27g sachet Quaker mutligrain oats

Breakfast: A&B with 1tsp Nutella (1.5 Syns), coffee made with milk (from A)

Lunch: salmon salad (3 Syns for fat free dressing, just in case)
7up free
coffee made with milk (from A- as I asked for skimmed)

Dinner: Bolognese pasta bake with a salad
Walkers pops melted cheese & bacon (4 Syns)
Curly Wurly (6 Syns)

Daily Syns: 14.5/15
Weekly Syns: 61.5/105

Have a lovely time x

 

[Dougal1983]

Had a lovely time and currently polishing my halo as I stuck to plan and didn't have a pudding!!
Really proud of myself

 

[Dougal1983]

In other news- Oliver weighs 16lbs 8oz at 15 weeks old
Following the 75th centile line perfectly tho

After having a blood test last week, it's been discovered I have dangerously low iron levels... Completely explains why I'm so exhausted... Got to go on iron tablets for 3 months and then have my levels checked again...
I was on iron tablets for 2 weeks after the birth and apparently I should have asked for my levels to be checked after the course finished... But nobody told me too... So it's seems it could have been discovered sooner...

Well done, that's great.

Sorry to hear about your iron levels. Shame no one checked before so you didn't have to suffer this time. Hope the tablet helps x

My boy is 15 weeks old today
Growing up too fast but loving that he now puts his arms out for a cuddle, melts me
Doing the food shop today as tomorrow we are having some work done in our kitchen and me and Oliver need to be out of the house mega early so we are spending the whole day at my mums, she was chuffed when I asked as that means a whole day of Oliver cuddles for her
Need to pick up my tablets today and get started on them... I'm so incredibly exhausted and I've been very emotional last few days... Nurse said all normal with low iron levels...
It seems cos I lost a lot of blood after the birth my iron levels have never gone back up... Hoping these tablets will work!
Nurse also said I need to make sure I'm eating enough iron too, so think I'll be living on broccoli lol!!
I should be writing a shopping list right now but somehow ended up on here woops!
Although to be fair, I can't go far yet as there's been a major accident on a road near me and people use my estate as a shortcut to the A12 and it gets busy so it'll be even worse at the minute...

Anyway today's plan:

Green

A- 350ml skimmed milk

B- 27g Quaker multigrain oats
B- 60g wholemeal roll

Breakfast: A&B with 1tsp Nutella (1.5 Syns), coffee made with milk (from A) x2

Lunch: 60g wholemeal roll (B) filled with Quorn chicken, spinach and 1tbsp Hellman's lighter than light mayo (0.5 Syns)
Pear
Walkers pops melted cheese & bacon (4 Syns)

Dinner: Romano peppers stuffed with Quorn chilli, served with broccoli
32g Crunchie (7.5 Syns)

Daily Syns: 13.5/15
Weekly Syns: 75/105

 

[Dougal1983]

At my mums today as we are having some work done on our kitchen...
Been lovely, helped mum with the weekly shop and then this afternoon we popped out to ToysRus so mum could get a few bits for Oliver...
He now has a bouncy chair, cot, changing mat, bibs and cloths at my mums, meaning less stuff for me to bring round
Found Oliver a Thomas the Tank engine book with his name on so had to buy it lol
Ordered some bits from Mothercare for him- a travel cot mattress for our holidays, a green frog Slumber buddy and a play gym... Restrained myself from buying clothes, they had some seriously cute stuff but it was expensive so that'll be Xmas presents sorted

Anyway here's today's food- I'm so excited for weigh in tomorrow!!!
