NannyDoreen & Upndown's daily diaries

I agree about cottage cheese. The only way I really enjoy is Cottage cheese & pineapple. Used to be free but no longer. Not the same if you make it yourself.

I have blitzed cottage cheese myself but generally add a little mustard powder which seems to help. Blitz it well, preferably leaving no lumps before you put the egg in it. Good luck.

For a lasagne topping I use egg/eggs and o% nat yogurt with salt & pepper then if I can put cheese on the top of it.

Thats what I am probably gonna do today or tomorrow. It will be a roasted veg lasagne, veg ready to cook, may cook it and make lasagne tomorrow,

I ended up eating crab sticks and strawberries before bed. Not good as I was not in the least bit hungry. Just fabcied eating. Had more than enough for one day. Gonna try and cut down a bit today.
It is 12.30ish, been up 1.1/2 hrs so think I should have breakfast. Egg and beans I think.

Good suggestion for the sauce for lasagne, if the cottage cheese sauce isn't that nice, I'll try your method. Hope your lasagne is tasty, have you made it before?
Crab sticks and strawberries not too bad at least no syns. Enjoy your breakfast

Good job it was no syns or I would have had to be very cross with myself.
I used about 250g yogurt, 2 eggs, salt & pepper. A bit of mustard powder goes good too, but forgot.
Lasagne was lovely, but tastes different each time I have made it.

Tuesday of next week my babysitting duties start. Will see the new puppy too. Just out with my brother tomorrow.

 

[mo53]

Aw new puppy will be good fun too Mo x

 

[upndown]

Lol, our posting at same times must be because we have the same name

Thanks.... I lost 3.5lbs on last weeks challenge, not sure if you'll have seen. So pleased as that got me into the twelves but only by half a pound, so need to do well this week too (despite totm playing games with me!) to get firmly into that stone bracket. Got my three stone award too, yippee. Anyway, sorry, enough blowing my own trumpet.
Glad to hear the journey wasn't too scary, not sure I cold have slept through rough seas! Will keep an eye out for you

Hi All - I'm back and just reading thro your posts - still 2 weeks to catch up on but they're inspiring and I can see that Doreen's back on plan with a vengeance and Cloudy's well into the 12s now - Mo seems to be doing well on her new diet - I loved Chocko's post saying how much time we waste obsessing about food!! Bubble's back from hols and sounds very determined!! Hope I can get back on plan really quickly too.

We've had a lovely holiday and on the plus side in the main we ate healthily and I didn't go overboard on choc and those lovely French cakes but I did have lots of treats and altho my clothes still fit they're groaning at the seams. I reckon I've put about a stone over the 4 weeks, but my hubby suggested that I stay off the scales for 2 weeks - I'm taking his advice & going to put the scales in his car to take to work or else I'll be tempted.

Good tips there Doreen - I'll try them - I love a lasagne but it has to be firm, almost dry - can't bear a slushy one!

 

[upndown]

Wow this is impressive Doreen - you're really going for it - well done.

I've just found a SW Bolognese sauce in the freezer but afraid to say I can't be bothered to make a lasagne so will have it with spaghetti - I'll post my food later - it's good to be back and lovely to have your thread to catch up on. xx

Know what you mean Doreen but it could have been choc and crisps and ................................. so be proud that you stuck to free food!

Wow thats wonderful Doreen! Congratulations slimmer of the week!! Brilliant!! Yes I was shocked when I found out. I am taking the slw release metformin twice a day. The low carb high fat is certainly different but Im quite enjoying it and Ive started to lose weight again. Yes lots of body magic looking after OH. Thank you Cloudy for the kind message. It s good to be back posting on your thread. Thank you Doreen.

I hope you're managing your diabetes and your doctor's pleased with your progress - hopefully the weight you're losing will be a healthy bonus too.

 

[upndown]

That upndown is very quiet! I do hope she's not eaten too many yummy French gateau and then been stopped by the Gendarmes for running around naked!!

I'm rather stuffed but not with cake. My neighbour kindly gave us a big box of apples and pears from their trees and the pears are delicious. A few are a bit bruised and won't keep long, so I've eaten three (minus the battered bits). My tum is going to be gurgly all afternoon now! X

Ha Ha - The reason I was quiet was that the wifi on hols was unreliable - a bit frustrating at times but couldn't complain as we were in a very rural area and the owners of the gite were so hospitable and very kind.

I'm back home now and not quite reduced to going nude but some of my clothes are tight!! It's great to be catching up on your posts - and it feels like coming back home!

Lovely to have fresh fruit for free - the chateau owners gave us piles of veg and fruit to come home with plus a bottle of champagne - we'll eat the food soon but will hold back on the bottle!

I made a big boo boo yesterday. I bought six pack of hi fi bars rocky road. Plus there was a six syn bar in the slimmer of week basket. I bought the rocky road thinking I could have one as h/eb in the evening. Well I did, but I ate them all.

Ended up having 25syns. Will cover that extra 10 within 3 days. Oh dear.

Well done for the confession and stopping just with the bars - sometimes when I start eating syns I find it hard to stop!! But at least the bars have lots of fibre (not always a good idea in quantity )
