This evening I took my scales downstairs and tried them out in a variety of places. Bearing in mind the last time I weighed myself in the bathroom I was 71.7 last Sunday, my weight fluctuated from 61.1 to 75.5 leaving me in a very unnerving position of not knowing how much I weigh! Interestingly enough I weighed more on a hard surface thn carpet...

Not sure what to do with my scales. Perhaps they need a new battery?

Yes they do seem to be. I have opened th pasta penne to make lunch for tomorrow. These are a little odd as they are bigger and thicker but again for 14 cals I could easily get used to them! I have mixed tomato purée with garlic bread seasoning and left them to soak up the flavours overnight.

Been a heavy weekend with final birthday / leaving celebrations for my dad who is moving back abroad.

It has included Sunday roasts, pizza and cream cakes. However I'm hoping the good week I had last week will offset it a bit. I don't think I will weigh myself until next week just to make sure..

So back to it today. 7 weeks to Thailand. 1/2 stone would be nice. 10 would be nicer...

 

[cheekychinchilla]

Is your Dad going to Thailand or does he live somewhere else? sounds like the naughty foods were justified tho. Hope you had a nice weekend with your Dad

Hope you get your half a stone .... or ten! x

I'm really enjoying the water noodles. Well enjoying may not be the right word as I cant taste them - very similar to glass noodles - but I am enjoying the fullness they give without the cals. I might try the penne in an omelette tomorrow for brekkie.

 

[cheekychinchilla]

The noodles do sound interesting. Hope the penne is ok

Hmmmm - the penne in the omelette was just about palatable but I can safely say I prefer the noodles! I might try the rice tomorrow. Apparently this stuff can be bought from Asian supermarkets - called shirataki noodles so ill have a shufti next time I'm near one.

[Ophelia105]

The eat water rice works well. I had stir fried veggies and some chickeny burgers on top.

Still not tried the fettuccini - still struggling with the penne. I tried it in omelette and I must admit it was better once it had been left overnight and dried out a bit - the consistency otherwise is like slimy, dead squid. Or what I would imagine slimy, dead squid would be like. I might try it in a creamy sauce - I have a pot of WW creme fraiche which was reduced to 29p at Tesco yesterday. Once my eat water stock have gone I won't be spending £2.55 a packet from the website! Although I would check out Asiana for shirataki noodles.

WI - lost 0.7kg - although my scales are a bit dodgy. I think I need to put a new battery in them.

I think this is about 1.5lb so a good start.

It s vile! Ill be happy when its gone. Strange but the fettuccine was ok - like flat noodles. I think it is the tubular nature of the penne. Like seafood.

Cheesy omelet with eat water penne, onion and ff fromage frais. HEA and 3 syns the fromage frais didn't really add nothing to the omelette so a waste of syns 320 cals

Prob cheese although I might get some more almond milk as I really like that.

Also I'm thinking about swapping my coffee for hot water and lemon. I drink too much coffee and also sugar free pop!

 

[cheekychinchilla]

I didn't think I'd like the almond milk, but I really did. Must have gone through 4ltrs in 2 weeks when it was on offer in Morrison's lol! I've got Hazelnut at the moment. Nothing's on offer anywhere though :cry:

 

[Ophelia105]

That's a shame. I might leave it then - like you I do tent to get through it once I've got it.

 

[cheekychinchilla]

I actually think I might like the almond one better now that I've got the hazelnut on the go. They're both nice, but oddly enough I really do like the almond. Off to Tesco in a bit so I'll see if any are on offer there
The only things I use it for are hot chocolate and Porridge/Weetabix.x
