Peacedove finally goes and does it...goodbye control pant hell, hello natural curves!

[Emmey1]

Dinner turned out to be a mackrel salad with a jacket spud and a dollop of cottage cheese.........then just when I thought I'd been really good (no wine!!)......the takeaway menus came out!! Ended up having a Chicken Dhansak, boiled rice and a popodom with some raitha, according to sw book that adds up to 12 and a half syns but the Dhansak was swimming in oil (I drained some off before I put it on my plate) so I don't think it can be that low in syns!!!...oh well...we'll see on WI won't we!!
Today's menu

Breakfast:Scrambled egg, baked beans and frylighted mushrooms.

Lunchasta and sauce and a salad.

Dinner: Gammon steak, egg, jacket spud and veggies.....may have to add a dollop of cottage cheese to the spud so it's not too dry!!

So far this week 21 food syns....and 30 wine syns on WI night!!

I miss A good chunk of butter in a jacket potato!

Well as it happens Emmey I didn't miss the butter because dinner became a very liquid affair!!! Lovely unexpected sunny afternoon and evening in the garden round the chimnea with friends....dinner was 2 bottles of low alcohol wine, a large glass of pink fizzy wine and a couple of vodka soda and limes!!......feel a bit rubbish about it, really want a good loss this week after my sts this week!!!

Today's food:
Green I think..want the extra HE's
Breakfast:
Bread roll with a quorn sausage, egg and a squirt of brown sauce, made by Mr PD...no butter, frylight egg......white roll!!!! (9 syns instead of an HEb!!)

Lunchry roast spuds, loads of veg and a couple of quorn sausages, splash of gravy (2 syns)

Tea: Either a jacket spud with beans and cheese or a cheese and mushroom omlette and beans.

Going to the pictures later....will have to avoid the popcorn temptation!! xxx

Syns so far 31 food and 45 drinkies last night (plus 30 wine syns straight after WI...not good!!)

[Applekath]

It's really not easy sometimes is it. It only takes a split second to make the wring choice and then it's too late.

I'm just watching supersize for inspiration, self gratification and motivation lol.

 

[peacedove]

Kath I do often think when watching biggest loser or a year to save my life, there but for the grace of god!! at least I am doing something about it finally, before it becomes insurmountable....I am in awe of some of the lovely ladies on here that have lost so much more than I need to lose, the level of motivation they show, I am struggling at times with the thought of it taking a year or more!! How are you feeling about WI? I am going so I can see what the damage is and hopefully get a kick up the bum!! I know it will be a gain this week, I just hope it's not too horrible a gain!!

Last night I decided to go green so I had quorn sausages (1 syn) and a jacket spud with cheese (hea2) and beans, count one slice of bread as (heb2) and syn the other and the slice of ham and pastrami, all together about 7 syns.

[Applekath]

So how did the fajitas go?

I've decided it's all or nothing for me with the wine thing unless I'm at someones house and taken a bottle of 5.5

Totally lost track of what I drunk on Friday night at the restaurant and pubs.

 

[peacedove]

The fajitas were fine, I had just the one with a side salad, 6syns for a small flour tortilla..not too bad...but, sat out in the garden around a lovely fire basket and ended up drinking two bottles of the low alcohol fizz, and three quaters of a normal bottle...another 40 odd syns!!!
