Lets Try Again.. Slimming World Food and Weight Loss Diary.

[Lillyxx]

Lilly, Body Magic is Body Magic, if it gets your heart rate up and you moving it counts!

Do you make your own falafel? I need to find a low syn version that is made from scratch as I live in Canada and I can't get all the different choices available over in the UK here.

Haha thank you.

Yes i do.. This was from a post like week.

Recipe I Made -
I made some more falafel type balls again but slightly different and they come out SO good, I will stick to this one now.
2 cans of chickpeas, big handful of spinach, handful of parsley, half an onion, half a red chilli - Speed and Protein.
Cumin, Salt Pepper, Coriander, Garlic, Paprika.
Half a table spoon of peanut butter - 3 syns. (Optional)
Blend it all together till smoothish, then i just roll it in to small balls, place on a baking sheet and fry with fry light and bake till crispy turning half way through, if you have an air fryer they come out 10 x better in that.

This all made 16 balls, so for 8 balls it will be 1.5 syns etc. I have been making them free without the peanut butter, but i thought it might give a nice peanutty kick and some how it did make them even better and well worth every syn, the closest to the deep fried shop ones I have got so far.


Hope you like if you try them

[Lillyxx]

Hope you get a super result tomorrow

Thank you!

 

[Lillyxx]

Weigh in number 7?!....

-2lbs

i'll get that half a pound next week!! lol.

 

[Franimal]

Yay! Well done! Just think though, when you get that half lb to give you your 1 stone, you'll also probably have lost more which propels you further into losing the next half stone, so you'll get there faster! This is my logic I use when I'm soooo close to a mini target

 

[Nursejojo69]

How are you getting on Lilly?

Day 47...

Breakfast -
Porridge - B.
Oat Milk - A
Strawberries and Raspberries - Speed,
Choc Shot - 0.5 Syns.

Lunch -
Went out to Lunch with my Mum, i picked the best thing that there was which was a Super food Salad.
It had quinoa, pearly barley, pea's, broccoli, salad leaves, sunflower seeds and avocado and it came in a mustard and lemon dressing, with some home made potato wedges, which did have some oil on them but not tons, they weren't deep fried. I know probably quite high in sead's but it is technically " healthy " and was the best thing on there, i could have picked soooooo much worse, so proud that i didn't.

I did how ever have half a rocky road cake, sooooooooo... haha. And you know what?! I didn't even enjoy it?! I only had half and gave half away, so that's another positive! Lol.

That will be all my syns for the day used there, but i had a lovely day with my Mum and was well worth it.


Dinner -
Wholemeal Pasta - Free.
Speedy Veg sauce - Tomatoes, onion, mushrooms, peppers and spinach - Speed.


Normally if i have been " bad " i would just throw the day away, but i come home and got right back on track and had a good dinner and Im ready to go again tomorrow, so hopefully it doesn't have too much of an affect on next week, but at least i have the full week to be extra good.

Hope your all having a good day L.x

 

[Franimal]

You did really well. I wouldn't be extra good, just follow the plan as normal. Sometimes if we're "extra good" we feel deprived and then problems occur. Well done and glad you had a good time with your mum.
