Evening sweetie. Another good day??
Well, there's the Superspeed soup that a lot of people rave about but I'm not keen tbh and it also uses up a LOT of ingredients, lol.
I think anything goes with soup - have a look at what you've got and chuck it all in! Or look down the list of superfree/superspeed veg and choose a selection. I usually start my soup off with the same basic ingredients: frylight some onions til soft, add 2/3 carrots then build up from there. Spice wise I like to add in ground cumin to give it a bit of a kick. Slow cookers are perfect for soup - chuck it all in, 1.5/2pints of stock and leave to brew
There are loads of soup recipes in the Recipe section if you need inspiration.
Quite fancy doing a pea & mint soup myself later this week ... just gotta get rid of my fresh ingredients first so it's cabbage leeks all the way!

Yeah Ali have survived another day. Work tomorrow and I know there will be loads of chocs and biscuits.being passed around.
Have my lunch all ready to go so hopefully I will be able to say no!!
Thanks for advise on soup. Not the greatest at making it, usually ends up watery, tasteless or a really put you off colour. Will throw stuff into slow cooker tomorrow morning and see how it goes. At least then I can have some when I get home and stop myself from grabbing crisps.

First day back at work and oh boy do I wish I was anywhere but here.
Had 1 sweet this morning but it made me realise that I dont really want them to be honest, its just habbit of shoving them into my big gob...
Green day today:
B: Porridge with blueberries and raspberries
S: 2 mandarins & 1 roses sweet
L: 3 seaseme ryvita & banana, Aldi cupshots (Sweet & sour - - yummy)
S: Apple x 2
D: Vegetable risotto with extra light cheese, Mullerlite
S: 3 biscuits, 1 alpen light, strawberries & grapes
Hexa: 1. skimmed milk, 2. Cheese
Hexb: 1. Porridge, 2. Ryvita
Syns: 7.5 (May add some more if I want)
Running up and down stairs in work at least 15 times!! (Has to count as a little body magic)
Think I am getting back into the swing of things. Just need to keep fruit at hand for when I feel the picking coming on, that and cups of ice cold water!!!

Thats a good way to start beautifulmess.
What do you throw into the speedsoup?
Is it just your favourite speed veg?
Finding it ok so far, craving chocolate a bit but to be honest thats no real surprise seeing as how much I was eating before I started.
Todays another green day;
So far
B: Porridge, Raspberries
Banana (Was starving)
S: Apple, Alpen Light
L: Cupshot (yummy), 3 ryevita cracker breads, kiwi, Apple & 1 roses sweet
Not sure what to have for dinner tonight.
Maybe a jacket potato - Not sure what to put on it though... Dont like baked beans so will have to think of something else.. Cheese and ???

Just watching a program here on irish tv called operation transformation.
Really heartbreaking watching and listening to some of the stories. So glad I have decided to get my ass in gear and loose the weight so that I dont become one of these stories.
Although there is a girl on same weight as myself who is trying to change to change her life for a healthier one...(she was laughing about all her gym equipment being clothes hanger -- could see my darling hubby thinking thats the same as my wife..lol).
Well thats going to change now!!
