evening buddies
well another busy day in paradise - god i love a challenge and my life is nowt but at the moment.
usual mrs doolittle stuff this morning, then kids off to school. and me off to work in the surgery. breakfast in a pot ready to eat once weighed in. thursday is my weigh in day at the surgery so i remove my jewellery and have 2 wees and my hair clip in an effort to weigh as little as poss.
clambered onto the scales to find i had not only lost the 3lbs i piled on overnight at the weekend but also another 2lb to boot.
oh yes, oh yes, shake your thang on the dance floor baby! kylie minoque is gonna be getting a call from me soon asking her to lend me my gold hotpants back.
breakfast as usual
cereal (heb) with pineapple and raspberries and fat free yogurt.
resisted the chocolate swiss rolls in the kitchen at work along with the all butter shortbread left over from the drs meeting, then battled off the bar of whole nut that a patient tried forcing down my throat. be still ye demons be still i say. those chocolate bars are demons in disguise i just know it.
lunch - well get this, i was so miffed- i defrosted a carrot and coriander soup this morning while getting ready then i heated it through and put it into my new gadget the 'fatboy'! its a wide flask for storing hot food. its called a fatboy and i bought it at the weekend in a garage for £6. i puts the hot soup in, i takes it to work, i opens it at lunchtime to eat my piping hot carrot and coriander soup and burn my lip with the heat! WRONG! i get frostbite from the fact its bloody cold. so off i goes up to 3rd floor to warm it. bloomin eck! thats so going back to jail and not passing go or collecting £200.
so
lunch was
carrot and coriander soup, a large salad of pickled onions, beetroot, spring onions, radishes, lettuce, tomatoe, cucumber, celery, and a babybel light and a deli laughing cow blue cheese square. i know they arent strictly an hea but i had little choice so im winging it a bit on that one. (hea) toffee apple ww yogurt, and 2 slices of ww danish (5 syns) took melon too but couldnt eat it. too full.
picked up daughter from school and came home to check on the baby rabbits who are 1 week old tomorrow. had a little cuddle in exchange for the mum getting some cauliflower and a plum.
did some pottering and cooked kids tea then prepared as much of mine as i could before running out the door at 555pm to the little ones spring concert.
back home at 8pm
dinner - ate some sw chips cut into discs that i had made earlier. made egg fried chicken rice, sweet and sour chicken (HEB +2 syns for sauce) and stir fried veg with noodles in oyster sauce.(1.5syns for sauce)
yum yum yummety yum.
egg fried chicken rice,
i used a packet of savoury rice because id run out of basmati rice. cooked it in the rice cooker - dead simple then allowed it to cool.
heat pan with fry light and add 2 beaten eggs, allow to set then scrape them about with a spatula to break it up then add the savoury rice to the pan. add some bits of cooked chicken which you have split into shreds. ( i buy ready cooked chicken from iceland, 4 breasts for £3. stir fry til heated through.
sweet and sour chicken and veg.
this looks watery in the picture but it really wasnt.
i sliced the carrot on a grater and blanched it in hot water for 2 mins with half a red pepper. mix with spring onion chopped, then some chopped into chunks chicken. (again i used ready cooked for quickness but if raw then stir fry for longer.) i added a sweet and sour mix in a packet from aldi with about 250ml water , i used half the pack at 80 cals then it served 2 of us so thats 41 cals (2 syns) simmer for 10 mins.
would be nice too with some pineapple added and some water chestnuts but i just didnt have them.
then the
veg and noodle in oyster sauce.
chopped up an onion, some broccoli florets into bite sized pieces, mushrooms, green pepper, add to a frylight pan. add garlic granules, some soy sauce (dash dash dash) then 4 tablespoons of oyster sauce at (1.5syns) add 2 packs of stir fry noodles and stir fry for 5 mins.
this made easily 2 large portions and some left over for OH's packed lunch tomorrow.
then as it was weigh in day and i had been very good losing all those naughty lbs i had 4 squares of cadburys caramel (8 syns) and a small mince tart. thats my treat now and so i'll be focused for the next week. not nearly enough to drink today and no exercise as ive been like a fly with a preverbial bottom.
rest well yea buddies for tomoorow we slim!. nite nite.
