Good morning everyone.
Had nice day yesterday. Me and my hubby went for walk - 3 hours , lets be honest, my heels were killing me when we got back but it was so so nice walk. Weather was perfect and we had nice laughs on our way. On our way at some point we passed big fruit and veggie shop and we did fruit tasting , lol
we had plums ( yellow and red ), peach's, apricot, guava, banana and nectarine. First thing first - red plum was the best fruit , lol and for next time Moo - guava had to be peeled before you try to eat it , lol
Dinner for day 2 was slow cooked turkey meat with veggies and my first try to do zucccini pasta ( fail ) with cherry tomatoes and soft cheese ( he)
And as I was extra good with my syns I made myself 2 , yes 2 , nutella ( 8 syn) bread( he) , lol ( needless to say - it was worth it )
Today is new day and I started my day 3 with nice breakfast
Eggs, crisp bread with soft cheese, cottage cheese and fresh salad , coffee ( 1 syn)
Now I need to get my things together- do few kettlebell swings and then start to get my things together for work .
Hope you all have good day and keep smiling =)

Morning ladies
No sad faces for me today. All smiles (see)
destamia i thought my eyes were deceiving me! Chocolate spread on bread!!! I was thinking what kind of diet allows that lol, I'm glad you enjoyed it. You thoroughly deserve it. You have to be kind to yourself, once in a while.
my daughter is doing great, don't know if she gets the whole idea mind you. (She is on about eating her way through tesco's when she is finished lol) she is really enjoying her salad, as its her only meal as such. She is also finding it hard to cook for others, and would love to take a bite out of everything she serves!! Bless her.
did you see the pizza Lucie made? The recipe was up on her diary, that looked delicious! You should start a thread with recipes and total syns, so you can share ideas? Also it would be handy for someone like me when they start eating again lol (I just screenshot them , I'm good me)
@solange work is just that, work! Drunk customers can be a pain the behind! Some are all lovey when they are drunk, others are just AWFUL. You wouldn't recognise me when i have those kinds of people, i give as good as i get. I think its a maternal thing. (Momma bear minding her cubs) you don't mess with Hez!! How are you doing with your diet? Xx
@Lucie absolutely, lets get the party started..... How you getting on chick? x
heres to another great day people! XX

loving this thread <3 lol Totally loving all the mini shoutouts to everyone, Makes me feel like we are all sitting round a table nattering to each other <3
Saying about the pizza, I saw the syn values for the wholemeal wrap in one of the threads, It was only kindly pointed out to me that its probably old and that I should base the syn value on 1 syn per 20 kcal. If thats the case the the pitta is going to be more than the 4.5 syns so a bit peaved with myself for not checking properly BUT having said that, Weighed myself this morning and I'm 23st 4 1/2lbs so thats still a 3lbs loss so far which i'd obviously be happy with.... but...
I got my eyes on the prize lol, hoping to not use any syns for the next 3 days and if I can lose another 3lbs that will be my stone, and if I can lose another 4lbs that will get me into the 22's so got a few mini targets coming up that I wanna smash. It only keeps me more motivated
Off to update my diary for this morning, TA TA for now xx

I did see pizza and to be honest its hard to not to go and make one pizza for myself. Not to mention that seeing Lucie's sw made me buy bread , lol
The syn value for pizza base is only reason why I havent make any. But Im thinking about it all the time. Maybe I ll plan pizza for my bday at the end of month =) I know some people use asdas B-Free tortillas as base but I dont really see how it would work. Some use instant potato mash ( syn free) as pizza base but when I asked about it my consultant said- it may sabotage weight loss as everything you use instead of flour should be counted as syns even if items itself are syn free. Dont know if you can understand what I mean =)
Why Im still dreaming about pizza , lol Maybe its time to make lunch ? heheehhe
And Lucie , do not stay syn free hun, why would you ? believe me, you will get your lost with or without syns. Syns are here for us, for us to use em and enjoy our journey. We do not need to be so strict with food - thats why sw work. you know that hun. My consultant said, that if you dont want to use all the syns . use at least 5. It do not have to be something naughty. Use olive for your salad, use mayo with eggs, or have a class of wine =) Or salad dressing you have hide in the back corner of fridge =) have rosins or nuts that have healthy oils in it and good for our skin =) What I want to say - is enjoy hun, you only at the start of you journey , you doing good and you dont need to limit yourself from good stuff to get good results =)
anyway Hez tomorrow is the big day then ? Your first weight in with your girl . lol - you must think Im nuts ( even more then usual ) but I just can not wait to hear how you doing, hahaha whats wrong with me, but listen to you and read your diary and things you write here , Im kind of interested of this shake things. Not that I would need it at the moment, My interest comes from working with food and not to eat . (professional cretinism )
My kettlebell work out is done , so have my wall sit and plank challenge - did 1 min 10 sec of wall sit and 45 sec of plank today . lost few days of my challenge on my way , so need to built my strength up again. And make lunch , still think about pizza , lol
have fun girls

Blimey! I have been left behind in a rush for chat!! I did a fab message yesterday but lost it somewhere. Ah well c'est la vie!
New fence went up next door yesterday and new cooker fitted yesterday afternoon and then could not drive it so had to order an Indian takeaway. Well what else does a girl do?! I was very good and had very small portion. It was a meal for one so what else could I do.
Anyway the dogs ear is getting better. OH is eating for England but still hasn't put weight on. Nice peaceful day today.
Hez, glad you can stand your ground! Phew!!
Love to all and a big hug all round. You are all lovely. :bliss:

Morning Solange. I hope you enjoyed the indian take away. First restaurant where I started was indian. God I love all the creamy spice foods. Daal's … hmm. Bread. Basmati.
Lol - what I wanted to say is dont worry hun. One or two take aways wont break you and you are one strong lady- you will get back when everything is sorted.
We all are here as we want to lose weight. Yet we have no idea how hard it is to gain weight. Seen it few times. Double cream- pastry- fat meat and no gain. But dont worry everything takes time. Even gain. Wish all the best for you.
Hugs xx

feeling down in the dumps today :-(
I feel like this everytime I see the man and then have nothing in the diary to see him again. I just don't think I'm cut out for this whole casual type "seeing someone" arrangement (even though I know neither of us are seeing other people). At some point I've got to face up to the fact it's not going anywhere and move on. This is the first relationship of any kind I've had in 7 years so I've got some of my confidence back and am sure I can meet someone who actually wants a proper relationship. It's taken a long time but I feel ready for that.
If I get in any deeper with this guy it's going to hurt like hell when it all ends (and it will do as likely he'll move abroad). I'm not sure I can cope with that so after our September holiday (away together with lots of our friends), I've got to end it - whatever "it" is. I also don't want to risk our friendship as we have so many mutual friends (and he is best buddies with my brother)
sorry for the brain dump - I just find it hard to talk to my friends about this stuff as trying to pretend I don't really care and am enjoying keeping it casual. But it's not really the case

Yes Destamia, loads of hugs for Blondcat. I have been through so much of this with my daughter and just thank God I am too old to put up with it myself. So much love to you and wish I could take the pain away. You are lovely and don't forget that. This guy is obviously not for settling. Hugs from me too. X :bighug:
