Sausage on a mission - veggie green days diary

[silly sausage]

Well, I didn't weigh in last week as I had been ill and couldn't face a big gain due to fears of demotivation. This morning I am 4 lbs up on the fortnight. Ah well, strangely it has not demotivated me this week. I am more determined than ever and have set myself a challenge to stay 100% until Halloween. It is 9 weeks away. Weekly syns don't work for me obviously so it will be daily. No more than 15, no less than 5. Will top up any daily shortfalls with walnuts. Here goes!

GWENNNYYY!

Did you see the sky at the back of 8 tonight? My son was like as he and his mates on XBox Live thought a nuke had gone off. I called my daughter who was in Byres Road and she said everyone in the street was taking photos of it.

It was big, fat, fast moving, mad coloured clouds. It was all gone after 10-15 minutes.

Here is my photo facing north.


*tuts at fried rice* lol Sounds delicious though...mmmm...paneer

Nooo! I missed it! If it appeared on my side of the city lol. Didn't see anything like that at all and it looked amazing! Good job on the photie

I see you've been good the last couple of days! I had a moment with popcorn today but other than that I've been fine. Might need you to tut more

Thanks Gail. The only good thing about falling off the wagon is I realise how crappy eating junk food makes me feel. I must have felt bad for years and just didn't realise it. I prefer yummy SW food now

Sorry for tutting, Gwenny x I am just jealous of your rice! Rice makes me gain, but I just eat it anyway. Billions of people eat rice every day so I don't know why I have to be awkward lol

My pal came for an early dinner so I saved my lunch until later. Bit of an upside down day as I had no carbs and milk for breakfast because I wanted to save my hexs for the dinner. Was lovely!

 

[silly sausage]

Hi Gwenny, I am fine thanks. How has your week been? How did WI go?

I got blindsided today by a big bill and am now realising I can't go SW food shopping this week. Pesky kids and cats get first dibs on the food budget. Nevermind. I'll just have to dive into the back of the cupboards and freezer for a while. It is amazing how much is lurking there! I have enough stockpiled half price tinned tomatoes and old quorn sausages to feed an army lol

Eeeep - I know that feeling too well!! I'm the same as you, I budget food for LittleOM and the cat/dog/pup first and then the rest goes on the general stuff for the rest of us. I've just been lucky the last couple of weeks that there was a sale on Quorn stuff. When that runs out which it will in the next few days, I'm not sure what I will do sticking to plan - just keep my fingers crossed for another special offer probably

 

[silly sausage]

My blueberry bushes are nearly bare now. Well done to them though for being so fruitful this year when almost everything else in the garden failed miserably :clap:

yayyy for the blueberries! Unfortunately bananas here are still about $12 a kilo which is about 8 pounds. Funny considering that they are grown literally just up or down the road from us! Unfortunately the crop was pretty much decimated following the cyclone earlier this year, hence the prices which are staying unbelievably high for an unbelievable time! I haven't had a banana since January I think
