Hiya, just had to post as your food was making me drool lol-your breakfast looks lovely!


I've always wanted to try quinoa but I'm scared of it cos I do t know what to do lol. Your bake sounds gorgeous though, do you have a recipe? I'm not even sure I know what zucchini is lol (I'm not much of a cook!)

Its actually Courgette- the lady who wrote the recipe is canadian & i just cut & paste (lazy me). It was the first time i have had quinoa & it was lovely. I would say though, mine didn't set like a bake & i think it was because there was too much liquid- i didnt squeese the liquid from grated potato & courgette. but it was still yummy!

As i am doing SW alone i get all my recipes from Slimming Eats: http://*********.com/pin/210121138837136116/ or http://www.slimmingeats.com/blog/chicken-zucchini-parmesan-quinoa-bake#.UZcprpUWH8s

I didnt use my full hexa allowance as i was out for the day. however i did use coconut milk (the dairy free alternative to milk) in my curry & i am wondering if that could be part of my hexa allowance & that would reduce my syns for the day. Not sure though so i will leave as is.

this is the curry i had last night- looks like loads of rice but i put it on top of the curry. Was lovely- first time I've had thai curry without conventional coconut milk.

Ooooo looks fab, always thought that Thai curry would be a complete no no-good to know its possible!

Hi - I am going solo also - looking forward to reading your diary and seeing your yummy food x

 

[Autumn500]

Sia, did you used to go to class, and just aren't going this time round, or have you never gone to class? I'm doing it alone as well (well, with my other half, but I'm showing him the ropes as he has no idea lol).

I have been to class before but i have decided to do it alone because i begrudge paying for class as i am a student again. I tried a class recently and i found it quite depressing.

What did you end up having?

 

[Sia]

I had another dinner i wanted to eat something & the only snacky things i have are turkish delight & dorritos- both of which i would probably eat the whole pack if i had any. I had leftover thai curry so i thought i'd eat that- it was filling & i didnt have anything else.

Today on the other hand i have had....

3 beetroots (weird choice again)
tea w skimmed milk 0.5 syns
SW beef burger w red onion, red pesto, mozarella (hexa) and Portobello mushrooms & ketchup
mini double chocolate magnum 180 cal= 9syns
2x squares of turkish delight (proper stuff from Turkey- unsure how many syns, 5 maybe?)
exercise: none
total syns: 22

I think i am either due on or i am eating as a way of procrastinating as i have an assignment due in tomorrow or maybe i have just realised i am dieting and thats making me want to eat?

 

[Autumn500]

I find on the weekends when I'm out of routine and I'm dieting, I just want to eat loads, it's all I can think about lol. But yeah, it could be procrastination too-im so guilty of that! What is your assignment on?
