Morning!
Gosh you're organised. Do you go to meetings, or are you doing it from home?
Your menu sounds lovely x
 
I go to meetings morning session. Life gets complicated, could be either Thurs Fri or Sat.
Never have breakfast before I go, sometimes take something on Fri as goto Zumba Gold after.

I have to be weighed by a club or someone who doesn`t say "that ok your not fat" They mean well but don`t understand what it is like to be over 16stone.

Also if I did not go I would be back to OVER 20stone which I was some years ago.

The other thing which sometimes helps is I am retired and most of the timeapart from looking after grandkids sometimes on Wed & Thurs at Haverhill I have lots of timeto think about and eat food :)

I like this menu too Mandy thank you - looking forward to Lasagne. The meat & veg mix has been in fridge all night so should taste good.
 
THURSDAY 23RD MAY,

PLANNING. Blood test for cholesterol 9.15. Cannot eat till afterwards. :( Not weighing Thurs as builder not coming till next week now so home for breakfast.

Brekkie

hexa milk m.aybe half and half cheese. Worked ok yesterday
hexb 2 bread

Think for a change will have mushroom omelette - bacon too if I have any and grilled toms

Lunch Don`t know. Ah I could have rice with cauliflower in it and some ham. That is usually quite filling

Dinner have taken pork chop from freezer so will have that with roasted corgette carrot & onion and a little red pepper if any left. Maybe some sweet chilli sauce on the chop. Cauli & brocolli and maybe chips but probably boiled spuds

Watch this space
Bit of a change. Look further down;)

Hi NannyDoreen, here to subscribe!! I think planning is the key definitely....I sit down every Thursday and plan for meals for the week including breakfast, dinner and tea then I know where I am with healthy extras and syns etc.

Your menu looks good, keep up the good work! x
 
Thank you. May try organising a 3 or 4 ahead. Will let you know what the weight is after Zumba & cuppa in cafe tomorrow. Of course my `friends` will try to get me to eat cake. Feel very proud cause I always say no.:D.

HEXA 1/2. 150ml skim milk HEXA 1/2 35g philly lite
HEXB 2 wholemeal bread.

B. 2 eggs in frylight 2 bacon trimmed (mostly) 2 grilled toms + xtra slice bread (2 1/2 syns)

L. Mug shot tomato & herb and 2 pears.

Snack whilst dinner cooking. 1Ryvita Dk Rye little phili light & thinlysliced tom, nice but can`t wait for dinner. (1 1/2syns)

D. 150g trimmed pork chop. 250g spud. Little swede & carrot. Cauli Brocolli. Onion gravy with 10g bisto powder (1syn) couple of pieces of fruit.

Aw, thank you!
I've just rummaged through the stationary at work for a note book too.
I tend to work out what I can feed my husband, then try to make it a slimming world friendly for myself. He could do with losing a few pounds so I might put him on sw on the sly!!
 
:sigh: Stayed the same! Better than putting on but not as good as losing even 1/2lb. Because I weighed byself Thursday morning and my scales said 3 1/2 on I sat and filled my face with ryvita cheese & tomato. Don`t know how many cause did not count. How silly to do that just cause of my scales. The reason I think it showed so much is because I ate enough lasagne for 3 people.
Spoke to my manager and she suggested if I had a lot of salad or more vegetables on the plate with lasagne I may not have been able to eat it all. Anyway put a line under it, it could have been worse. You know it is making me feel less stressed about it just because I can put down here for you to read. (thank you)

Well done!
You should be happy with that result. Maybe it's a lesson to us all - no sneaky peeking at the scales...
I do exactly the same, if I think I've messed up anyway, I totally blow it.
We're all going to lose 2 pounds this week - it's decided x
 
Thank you for that. Careful with my portions too. I`m upfor 2lbs. Good luck all
