Oh to be a consistent Target Member!!

[Jaffa Cake]

Options are starting to make me feel sick I think but maybe it's a certain flavour I'm not sure as I get a selection at a time

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes I'm sure you're right. I'm on the big tubs of plain Belgium choc...2 is my best limit. I found the 'Indulgence' ones a bit milky...aggravate my eyes.

 

[janetelizabeth]

Hum...scales are down 1/2lb - 10.4 1/2, not quite sure how I managed that but shan't complain.
Planning to be as good as possible eating wise for today and tomorrow... (note: I didn't say 100% but would like to be!)

 

[janetelizabeth]

Upgrading that now to 100%...today I've managed very well.

Food today:
Options x 3 = 6
chocolate - 7

banana, apples, grapes
chicken style pieces
stir fry potato, onion, peppers, zucchini, chilli (very hot!)
1/2 tin tomatoes, squirt tom puree
side veggies: carrots & sprouts

alpro yogurt hexa
walnuts hexb
minis hexb

Total syns: 13
Pleased with today...hoping to have a good one again tomorrow. Have some running around to do so hope that keeps me busy!

Just read on fb a post from my consultant that we're having a Christmas party at group and would be good to take a taster...I don't like that sprung on me! Not sure I have time to get anything organised either.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Ours has been announced in class for a couple of weeks and it's also Tuesday.

So I'm a cooking and baking tomorrow for Tuesday.

Can you make those egg muffins and cut them into quarters ?

I'm making SW chocolate brownies , meringues , salmon pate, hummus and cous cous balls which seem really simple

Everything is tried and tested bar the cous cous balls

 

[janetelizabeth]

Well, it's time really...tomorrow I need to go to the town, back for lunch and Joseph wants to put the downstairs blind back up. Then out to drop some groceries for 'surviving Christmas' and then on to see a very old friend in a nursing home for a while. I could do something tomorrow evening but...

 

[Jaffa Cake]

No cook put throw together ideas

Cut cucumber into thick slices scoop out the middle fill with cottage cheese

Pineapple and pickled onion hedgehog

Fruit kebabs on cocktail stick - grape piece of pineapple piece of apple etc

Any good ?

 

[janetelizabeth]

I lay in bed thinking about your suggestions, thanks. I wanted to be up early this morning but turned over and dosed again until almost 9am...

Scales down 3/4lb - 10.3 3/4lb so looking more like the place I want to be for tomorrow. Have to keep reminding myself I'm a day early.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Good news on the scales

I have the light bites cook book which is filled with loads of great ideas like that I'm not that good just thinking of them !!

Hummus is also an easy quick one to make as long as you have a processor or stick blender

When I forget about preparing a taster in advance, I cut up some babybel lights and put them on cocktail sticks with silverskin onions and pineapple, also done the same, but using rolled up ham instead of cheese, or cold sausages with cherry tomatoes went down a treat too!

 

[janetelizabeth]

I was in Morrison's this morning determined to get some pieces...what with all the crush I clean forgot! My trouble is I'm quite limited with what I have here that other people will eat. When I get back tonight...I'll have to sort something out.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

The cous cous balls were so so easy

2 packets of Ainsley Harriot cous cous made up with water wait to cool add 1 to 2 eggs

Mix together shape into balls and bake for about 1 hour on 120 to dry them out turn them after half an hour or so

Brownies in tin 2 dips spicy bean and salmon cous cous balls and coffee meringues and chocolate meringues

I have another batch of cous cous balls in the oven and I'm done

All low syn or syn free

 

[janetelizabeth]

Well done, all looks tasty.

Glad I've got through today with no extras. Joseph bought a pkt of after eight mint bites (not a box) never seen them before...60g pkt = 13.5 syns. They haven't been opened.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

How do you know you won't eat any more ? My last snack is with my coffee around 9-9.30 pm

 

[janetelizabeth]

Because I never do...just drinking my last mug Options. After that...drink more water.

Hi Janet wow aren't you detailed in your food diary here! Maybe that's why you are doing SO well! I'm going to try to follow your example. Glad to find you here. I have also found Tina by accident.
I'm not totally sure how to use this site well, gotta keep trying. thanks

 

[janetelizabeth]

Hi Donna...there's a great support network on here and you'll soon find your way around the website. Yes I list my food intake here and it has certainly helped me stay on plan.
Do I know Tina? Is she from SP?

Because I never do...just drinking my last mug Options. After that...drink more water.

You are such much more disciplined then me
