Was really good today as i knew i was going out for lunch with my dad (after we'd been shopping) and i didn't want to be too bad after having fish and chips yesterday so thought i'd have soup and a slice of bread before going (about 11am) then when we went to MacDonald's i would be good and just order a chicken salad ...... although that was a struggle for them !! i wish i'd just ordered a burger! the woman that served me was useless !! ..... it wasn't my local macdonalds and i won't be going there again !

i wanted a tray liner (as they have the NI on it and i wanted to see how many pp's were in which salads, as i ran out of time to look this morning) but they didn't have any (or if they did they weren't using them .... the food was just put directly onto the trays... luckily the menu on the wall has kcal posted so knew all salads were under 400kcal so would be less then 10pp!
i ordered a Crispy Chicken and Bacon Salad ..... and the woman said she'd have to go and see if they had any salad !! ..... baring in mind they sell big salads and side salads and put lettuce in nearly all their burgers i would assume that ordering a salad (that's on their menu) wouldn't have been a problem ! after a few minutes she returned and confirmed my order (crispy chicken and bacon salad) and i said yes please .... then she asked "what dressing" i said none, but could i have a sweet and sour sauce .... as i knew i'd looked before and that was only 1pp and i didn't know what the others were ... and i love sweet and sour sauce !
then i ordered my dads and daughters meals

what i actually got was a crispy chicken salad .... no bacon, even though i ordered one with bacon and she had confirmed "with bacon"
once we'd got the food and a table i realised i wasn't given and cutlery to eat it with (or told where i would find it) so back up to the counter to queue again! ... to be told they are now where straws and serviettes are ... or at least they are in this restaurant ! ...... got back to the table, no sweet and sour sauce ... back up to queue again! ... back to table, no bacon on the salad ! ... F**K IT i'll do without, i was hungry and didn't have the patience to queue up and ask this woman again !! my chicken was already going cold and my salad getting hot! .... definitely not good customer service and i felt like an awkward customer for ordering a salad off their menu instead of burger and chips !
i won't be going back there again and really feel like writing a letter of complaint to their manager ! ..... if they can't cope with doing anything that's not burger and chips then they shouldn't put it on the menu ! .... and a few manners from their front of house staff wouldn't go amiss ! .... even an apology for forgetting the sauce wouldn't have hurt ! rather then huffy behaviour for having to make her walk 2 steps from her till to get it !

thank you

its a home-made one

i use a medium flan case (its 2pp for 1/4 of the flan case) .... but you can also buy mini individual ones for 2pp each

then i drain the juice off a tin of mandarins and arrange them in the case

then i make up a sachet of hartley's sugar free orange jelly and let it cool down. then i put it in the fridge and stir it every 15 min till its starting to set then spoon some of it over the mandarin segments and put in the fridge to finish setting !

..... so its all free just have to pp the flan case (and cream you serve it with )

Ooh thanks so much for that info hun - will defo give that a go
I've never used a flan case lol!

hehe i get bored easily too. it will probably be something different for lunch everyday next week

yep its a good meat that's why i eat so much of it, and its really filling ! ... ohh chicken pasta sounds good ! ... maybe with a bit of WW sauce in it

i'm glad i'm getting over my cold too. it was driving me crazy ! i couldn't get out and do anything or anything around the house that needed doing .... hehe the no appetite is good when on a diet but i had quite low loss this week and i think its because i wasn't eating enough for a few weeks .... so making up for it this weekend

ohh your doing great, well done .... sts is still good (its not a gain so no harm done) and yep there is always next week for a loss ! .... did you have a non diet day this week? it sounds like you expected not to lose! ?

she's 4 1/2 now. she started school in september so this was her 1st school disco! she absolutely loved it !

hehe i'm usually on here late myself as i wait till my daughter is in bed ! (although sometimes i get on here during the day, but its only briefly)

thank you i hope too. i hope you keep up all your good work too!

Thanks. No I didn't have a non diet day in the week if I had one of those I wouldn't get back on track again. I did expect to stay the same because I had to do alot of guessing in the week which I hate. Also everytime I get to a certain weight I always find it hard to loose anymore thats when I think I will start the exercise.

I'm glad your daughter enjoyed her 1st school disco bless her. She'll be bringing the boys home before you know it kids now adays grow up so fast.

Good menus yet again over the weekend x x x

ohh no .... i had a gain this week (only 0.5lb but still a gain ) .... i think it was mainly cause i didn't do any fast walking as its half term and i always had my daughter with me, but i hadn't gone over my pp's (so technically i shouldn't have had a gain) ..... also it could just be my body this week ....so hopefully i'll have a good loss next week and it will have evened itself out ... i don't mind if it does it now and again but i had a small loss last week then a gain this week ...... so i'm getting a bit fed up of sticking to plan and not really seeing the results on the scales.

i was a bit annoyed at class as we had someone else covering our class this week as our leader was on holiday (and it wasn't very busy, only about 10 people stayed) and when she asked if anyone had a bad week she looked at me !! .... at the scales i'd already told her it was probably just because of my body this week so felt a bit annoyed as i felt i hadn't had a bad week !! i'd stuck to plan and tracked everything .... it just didn't show on the scales ! ..... also with just 0.5lb it could have been the difference between a STS on my normal leaders scales and a gain on hers ! ..... or even just the clothes i was wearing could have made that difference!


hehe yep it won't be long before my daughter is bringing home boys ! ... she is already growing up so quickly ! .... i've noticed the difference in her this week compared to how she acted in the week before she started school ! i've really enjoyed spending time with her again this week (although still looking forward to her going back to school on tuesday, hehe)

thank you .... i hope you find something you like

i'm looking for some pumpkin recipe ideas to try this year (as we have 2 pumpkins to carve! ) ..... i made a pumpkin cake last year but shouldn't really make that this year as i'm on the diet

thought i might try some savoury ideas .... not sure if i like pumpkin though, lol .... it was nice in the sweet recipes but not sure if i'd like it as a main ingredient, e.g if i make pumpkin soup!
..... maybe i'll run my pumpkin cake recipe through the recipe builder and see what it comes out as !

I was told that pumpkin soup is delish but the thought just makes me feel sick,I've got two pumpkins to carve too and can't decide what to do with them after,be a shame to waste them xx

 

[Hello_2_Slimmer_Me]

yep me too, i'm not really a fan of soup !

i found a recipe for pumpkin cheesecake on esource ..... and individual baked pumpkin custards ..... and pumpkin muffins ....... however all would require buying more ingredients, lol ... so in the long run it would cost more to use up the pumpkin instead of wasting it, lol

 

[Lovingbeingslimmer]

I remember seeing a homemade pumpkin humous recipe somewhere on here, sounds lovely but can't find it now!!

ummm that sounds good

 

[Hello_2_Slimmer_Me]

hehe well i think the pumpkin cheesecake does sound wrong, but the pumpkin muffins just seem to be a healthier version of the pumpkin cake i made last year .... its a bit like carrot cake (and tastes like it too) so not as bad as its sounds
