T_T's (hopefully!) dimishing returns!

[Torn_Tranquility]

It was deafening in the pub! Really great atmosphere.

So, after getting my glasses and popping into the Works, I was hungry!

L - toast (HEXB) with Laughing Cow light triangles (HEXA) and marmite. One slice with quorn and one with some hot smoked salmon. Carrots, sugar snaps and cherry tomatoes. Quorn ham slices rolled up with cottage cheese and an apple. Yummy!

D - is going to be river cobbler with loads of roast veg. Need to work out the syns for the sauce.

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Ok - so the fish with the sauce works out at 1.5 syns.

I think I'll probably have a yogurt for dessert. And a protein bar (7.5 syns) - which would be 11 syns for the day

Or I may have an Alpro, but no protein bar - which would be 9 syns for the day.

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Went for the 11 syn option yesterday! The white chocolate and cinnamon protein bar was lush!

B - banana and blueberries with fat free natural yogurt.

Don't know what's going to be on the agenda food wise today, as off for our bridesmaid day. I think we're making save the date cards (this wedding isn't until June next year!?) and doing some crafty bits. I'm sure it will involve snacky things, so will just do my best to avoid/limit what I eat.

D- planning to do LM sausages and crushed new potatoes.

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Today involved cupcakes... although I am told that they're lower calorie ones and I just had 2 (one of each flavour) Had a couple of small pieces of French bread and humus - for the sake of safety, I will call that my 15 syns for the day! And I had halloumi, which I will count as a my HEXA choice.

 

[Elanor]

Sounds like you made good choices today Hope you had a good day

 

[Zafira]

Sounds like a good day!
And you chose wisely
Did you get anything when you went into the works?, i love looking in there ,books mainly

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Got a new slow cooker recipe book and just picked up three novels for a fiver as well. I read loads, so the cheaper the better for me!

Meh Monday. The sun has just come out now, but it was bitter this morning in all the fog! Battling my anxiety a bit today, which is horrible, because I hate starting the week feeling like it's going to be a struggle. It doesn't help that my direct manager has today off as well, so my normal support structure isn't in place.

B - blueberries, banana and rapsberries with fat free natural yogurt.

L - jacket potato with cottage cheese. Cherries and apple. Free vanilla yogurt.

S - for throughout the day; carrot sticks, sugar snaps and cherry tomatoes with a mini tub of phili (half HEXA). An apple.

S- 2 slices of w/m toast when I get home (HEXB) with the other tub of phili to complete my HEXA.

D - quorn spag bol, but with courgette noodles to keep the carbs down and speed up! I may do half and half with pasta, not sure yet.

Will work syns in during the day; I imagine it will just be an alpro tonight!

 

[SallyVater]

I hope today goes OK for you - I don't know whether you're on any meds for it but I wonder if you should maybe poop into your GP if it's all ramping up?

ETA - POOP?! I obviously meant pop but HAHAHAHA! Thought it might give you a smile!

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Yup, absolutely made me smile. I probably do need to go in again... I just know that last time I changed my meds, it made everything positively hellish again for a few days. SO frustrating. And trying to get evening /weekend appointments with my docs is a bit of a nightmare too. I'll drop in this evening and see when I can get an appointment for I think.

 

[SallyVater]

I think the fact that you're dipping quite often means you need a tweak. I know it's crap but it'll be better in the long run.

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Agreed. I shall pop in and see the dragons on reception this evening. It really does seem to be that they seem themselves as some kind of gatekeepers!

Edited to apologise in case any of my lovely readers are actually doctors' receptionists. I'm sure you're not of the dragon variety!

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Will probably also use 3.5 syns to have some cheese on my spag bol! And an alpro for 5.5 - total syns for the day will be 9

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Well, didn't manage to get to the docs last night... cheers then, buses! To add insult to injury, the bus was 15 minutes late this morning AND the driver felt the need to act as if that was our fault as passengers.

B - banana, blueberries and rapsberries with fat free natural yogurt.

L - left over spag bol (it's mostly bol, as I didn't cook a lot of spag!) Cherries and apple. Free vanilla yogurt.

D - OH is doing tuna veg pasta again - which I'll have my HEXA of cheese with.

S - carrots, sugar snaps and cherry tomatoes. W/M bread sandwich (HEXB) with laughing cow light triagles x 3 (4.5 syns) and marmite.

Blimming public transport!
Glad I don't need buses too often, mind you, trains can be a pain too, on the odd occasion I've used them!

Haven't thought of mixing courgette spaghetti with normal.., good idea

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

It was lovely! It bulked up nicely, whilst still adding loads of super free. Hardly used 2 portions of spaghetti to make 4 meals.

I won't get in there this evening; but shall try docs again tomorrow. Could always phone them I 'spose. Although the trial bridesmaid dress has arrived.. so need to fit that in at some point this week too!

If your docs are like mine it takes forever to get an answer on the phone!

[Torn_Tranquility]

Jade green - we think these ones.

So glad to be home this evening... super tired and I was so hungry. Lovely pasta cooked by my OH (I may have to introduce other dishes to his repertoire soon!)

Will have an alpro in a bit (5.5), so total syns for the day will be 10

 

[Zafira]

link says listing has been removed.....jade green sounds lovely though!
And LOL about your OH ! ....he's just not as imaginative as you, and if he thinks you like something he will keep making you it ,just to please

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

When we do the meal plan on Sunday, we know when I'm likely to be home late, so it's easier for him to just do the same.
