T_T's (hopefully!) dimishing returns!

[Torn_Tranquility]

Well, this has been all a bit off track! But I've enjoyed it, so never mind. Gig last night was SO good, and enjoyed some drinks. We ordered pizza, which I didn't eat until today (and also ate ice cream!). Today has consisted of things that I totally shouldn't be having! Dinner tonight is going to be tuna pasta, then back on track from tomorrow morning.

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Line drawn and back on it! I've planned my SP evening meals for the next week, with the exception of tonight! We'll go shopping in a bit to see what we fancy.

B - spiced plum "coats". I actually added a whole egg today, rather than just the white. AMAZING and tastes custardy!

L - Probably scan-bran, not really decided yet.

D - TBC

Going to try having less of the Bounce balls this week, as that's the only real thing that changed last week

Going to head to the gym in a bit - will just be a light workout, because I seem to have picked up another bug! Fed up of it now

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

L - salad with beetroot, soft boiled eggs and hot smoked salmon. Scan bran (HEXB2) with LC light (HEXA). Shapers crisps (4.5) and Pecan Pie Nakd bar (8)

D - quorn mince pie, topped with butternut squash and swede mash.

Total syns for the day: 12.5

And here's Monday again. I just don't know where weekends go. Busy week up at uni, trying to get lots of work done.

B - spiced plum "coats"

L - leftover cottage pie and salad.

D - Moroccan fish balls in a spicy tomato sauce

Syns - Meridian peanut and cocoa bar (9 syns), Popcorn (4.5). Total syns for the day: 13.5

Snacks - fruit

Hi Kay! Thanks for popping by, more the merrier. Well, I've just weighed and I am absolutely gutted. Gained 4lbs. There is absolutely no reason for it and I am rather pissed off! And not what I wanted after a stressful day

It is possible seeing how you you are just back at the gym and that the water weight is from inflammation around muscles that you have not used in a while.

It's frustrating when the scales go up but when you know you are doing everything right it is best to ignore the scales if you can.

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Thanks Mini - I'm hoping that's what it is! It was only a week off the gym though, so seems a bit extreme if it was.

Avoiding the urge to eat sugary stuff to get me through essay writing at the moment. I'm micro-managing my time to help me stay on plan! Not helped by the fact that some of my course mates decided to go out for lunch and drinks in the sun after a fairly brutal feedback session! And I'm sat in an overly warm IT room trying to write a project plan :-( Sorry, excuse my "woe is me" moment.

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Bad food resisted! Not that I actually managed to get much work done - but tomorrow's a new day.

And my spiralizer arrived! Hurrah!

Had my second HEXB of scan bran with HEXA of LC light.

Fish balls will be served with shredded stir fried cabbage, tenderstem broccoli and asparagus.

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Fish balls were delicious last night! Will be making those again, and have a couple left over for lunch today.

B - spiced plum "coats" - added an extra egg for more filling power!

L - veggie mince, butternut squash and swede mash, fish balls.

D - Seared tuna with a nicoise style salad (minus the potatoes!)

Will fit other HE's in during the day. Syns TBC. And lots of fruit and veg to snack on

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Syns: Meridian peanut bar (9) and probably popcorn later on

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Grabbed a bag of popcorn as well, which was 5.5 syns - so total syns for the day 14.5

Haven't had my second HEXB, but did have some cheese for my HEXA whilst dinner was cooking (not that it took long!)

Nicoise was lovely, I hadn't had tuna steak for ages. I used roasted baby turnips instead of new potatoes. Lovely and sweet.

Will have some sweetened lemon quark for pudding in a bit.

Been thinking it would be nice to do some baking soon, once I have a bit more time. Want to give this a go https://pinchofnom.com/recipes/1-5-syn-a-slice-choc-beetroot-cake/

And also something with butternut squash I think

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Going to be another long day at uni, so added an extra carrot and more egg whites to my breakfast, to try and keep me going!

B - spiced pear "coats"

L - salmon and beetroot salad.

D - TBC. Ratatouille on the menu, but that will really depend on when I get home.

Going to take scan-bran to uni and will pick up some cottage cheese. Will pop to Tesco en route to pick up carrots and other snacky bits to sustain me. Syns and HEXA to follow

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

I think I'll be sweating off weight at this rate! I don't know why the university insist on everywhere being so warm.

Syns - cocoa mint bounce ball (8.5) and Hula Hoops Pufft (4.5) - total syns for the day: 13

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

D - decided that we're going to have fish, so we took a stroll in the sun to Asda and picked up a Birdseye Inspirations (0.5 syns), which will have with roast beetroot, swede, celeriac and carrots.

Had my second HEXB of scan bran with HEXA of LC light

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

WI day. Let's hope the scales are kinder, although after Friday and Saturday, who knows.

B - Spiced pear "coats" (HEXB)

L - Salad, with left-over roasted veg and hard boiled eggs.

S - pickled beetroot. Fruit.

D - Pasta bake with HEXA of cheese

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Yay 4lbs off! Apparently pizza, ice cream and gin, followed up with a week of SP is my secret weapon!

WOW! 4lb is brilliant!

Well done

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Thanks Mini

Long day at work today - had "coats" for breakfast and salad for lunch.

Dinner is going to be roast veg and whatever I can find in Tesco!

Syns are going on gin!

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

oo0ps! Was clearly super tired. Lie in this morning means I haven't got time to eat porridge before I go to the gym :-(

Grabbed a plum and some pears. so I've had something before I head off. I'm not sure what else is on the menu for today. I'll be going to the pub for the rugby, but won't be drinking today.

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

New body-blitz instructor is MENTAL - that was a hard class, but so much fun. Decided that today is going to be an EE day.

Had some melon and grapes when I got back from the gym.

L - tuna pasta with Walden Farms mayo (1 syn for four tablespoons)

D - Nacho feast with Quorn Mince (HEXA of cheese)

Will be having plenty of extra speed food packed into meals, then back to SP tomorrow
Syns and HEXB to follow later

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Nom nom - 9 syns on a Meridian peanut and cocoa bar.

Will have my HEXB of scan bran later, with cottage cheese and beetroot.
