Sausage on a mission - veggie green days diary

[OzzieMoz]

this is how I feel everytime I look at the cereal allowance

So do you do as I did, and just think "<insert expletive of choice> it!" and then pour a more appropriate HexB and decide that that is fair and reasonable? or do you sadly eat the paltry serving? I know that I should do the latter, but I'm not going to and I'm not going to beat myself up about and I'm going to deliberately convince myself that what I pour is a HexB...... and yes, in time I will moan that weight isn't falling off me and that of course I follow all the rules to the letter! I just follow my rules!

Sausage - I have looked up Aldi beans for you - are they called Corale Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce? If so, panic not, they're free.

Thanks Beegee. You are a lamb I will be stocking up on beans today following another disastrous week. This from my weigh in thread...

1.5 lbs on this week. Still no mojo

I had a sore mouth early this week and couldn't eat much at all (big filling went pop and left me with a metal post sticking into my cheek for 2 days) I was so hungry! Dentist sorted it (temporarily) and I have since been eating everything in sight (on one side! lol)

I am doing very well thrifty-wise, but am still struggling to be obsessive about more than one thing at a time! I urgently need more spreadsheets!!!

* Quick question for anyone in the know synswise. Farmfoods have changed my burgers. Used to get them 4 in a box and they were round and flat. Now they are only selling a poly bag of about 10 of them. They are quite chunky and oval. Any idea of the synnage in these ones?

No photo of tonight's dinner. The mushroom loaf was from the rogue batch I forgot to add eggs to. Looked more like mince! But still very tasty

Feels great to have a couple of good days behind me. First time in ages

 

[Beegee]

Well done sausage, it does feel good to be on it properly doesn't it. I hope you can hang in there.

Another mouth problem by the way? Didn't you have something not so long ago when a tooth fell out? You must be keeping your dentist in business!

I've tried to look up your burgers but it was struggle enough to find Farmfoods ('Derrycamma Farm Foods Ltd' ??), then I searched 'burger' and nothing came up, then 'vegetable' and nothing came up. Mmm. Do you have the nutritional info and I can stick it through the calculator for you? I'm starting to think I can't actually use syns online as I also couldn't find your M&S bake thing. Is that its proper name? (clutching at straws ...)

Hope you have a good day tomorrow too x

 

[silly sausage]

Sorry to be vague, Beegee, they are official mycoprotein Quorn burgers. Not Farmfoods burgers. The poly bag is for 560g, but it only gives info for 100g rather than per burger. I don't know how many were in the full bag so I don't see how we can work it out Next time I buy a bag I will count them then shout for help. I have checked all the big supermarkets online and can't see this bag anywhere.

I am happy to take the hit of 7 syns for the M&S bake as it was so tasty Won't be buying it again though...I was duped into buying the dine in for £10 deal by my daughter's cunning plan to wheedle a bottle of wine out of me

[silly sausage]

Hi Sofartogo! Thanks for popping in. I am having a good week, thanks. Finally getting my SW head on after weeks of eating rubbish. Got 2 new kettlebells this week which has got me all fired up. The Kettlenetics set from Sainsbury's sale (DVDs and a wee 4 lb bell) plus the 7.5 kg Aldi bell at last. Your stats are great - very consistent - well done
