Thanks Mini! Feeling much brighter today. As much as I hate it, a few days of rest has done the trick!

Happy hump day everyone! Hoping that the weather might finally be a bit better today.... it looks slightly brighter, but that isn't saying a lot after yesterday!

B - strawberries and vanilla Activia yogurt.

L - prawn and egg salad (0.5 syns for prawns)

D - probably giant couscous with roasted veg and hot smoked salmon....

Will work on syns etc during the day

Well, typical British summer, we've had a bit of every season today. At least there was some nice sunshine.... between the downpours!

D - will be half a syn for olive oil.

Pudding - 8 syns for Eaton Mess

Total syns for the day: 11

Let's call it 12 syns for the day - used a bit extra olive oil to make a hot salsa type sauce to go with dinner

Ooo a hot sauce, how nice! This popcorn also sounds interesting too! Do you make it yourself?! Or is it a pre sweetened pack of that makes sense?
Food as always looks fab!

It was lush - just cooked off red onions and celery with chili powder. Added red wine stock cube and a small tin of tomatoes plus some tabasco, then let it bubble and reduce for about 40 minutes. Delicious!

The popcorn is pre-packaged - it's the Walkers Sun Bites one.

I've only tried the sweet and salty - these are the large bags, but the multipack (14g!?) bags are on syns online at 2 syns each.

Here are some pics from the last few evening meals. I should get into the habit of sharing more pics on here: much more exciting than words!

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Weigh in day! In theory, everything should be good this week, so fingers crossed.

B - strawberries and vanilla yogurt.

L - leftover couscous from last night, with some extra salad.

D - TBC

Will keep syns low, and try not to eat too much before WI, as per usual. Hope everyone has a lovely day

 

[Trefoil]

Good luck!!!

Thanks Ruth. 1.5lbs off- at least the scales are going down again. I can't wait to get back into the gym- spoke to the nurse today and she said I can try taking things slowly, but have to be very careful!

Yay Friday! Plan is to head up to uni and try and do a bit of work again today. No pressure of deadlines, but good to be doing bits and pieces I think.
Forgot to ask OH to buy fruit, so breakfast was a bit of a scramble this morning! Not too worried, because I know most of my snacks will be fruit/veg based.

B - HEXB sweet onion Ryvita (SO good; why hadn't I had them before?!) with HEXA LC light triangles, cherry tomatoes and sugar snaps. Banana.

L - got a bit of pasta, and a bit of couscous left, so that'll do me for lunch! We'll call it half a syn, for oil used.

D - I think veggie cottage pie, again 0.5 for oil.

Will snack on fruit during the day. And will take a bag of popcorn with me (2). I am considering flexi-syning tonight, to have a few drinks whilst we watch the opening ceremony. Not decided yet!

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

oops just seen that the popcorn is actually 2.5 syns per bag! Not sure if it's changed recently, or if I had a mad five minutes when I first checked (the latter is probably more likely....)

Up at uni, with a bag full of fruit and veg bits to snack on. Got a whole IT room to myself, which is rather nice. Now to actually get some work done!
