time to knuckle down.....

[ffynnon]

Sunday's are my worse day, just so tired, and the extra shifts just keep on coming. 4am start tomorrow for 2 shifts on what is normally my day off, extra do do on tuesday and wednesday. But, I am hoping that I will not be as tired as I was this last week.

today.

bacon
tinned tomatoes
grapes
apples
boiled eggs
lamb
2 yorkies 5s
potatoes
cabbage
carrots
gravy 1.5s (but only had 1/3 of the made up gravy, so really the syns would be .5)
cheese hex a
prunes hex b
2 cappuccino 7s

 

[ffynnon]

went back to bed at 8am after my 4am start, slept till 11.30 then started my second shift at midday. 8am start tomorrow so not so bad but it will be a long day and then Wednesday shifts start at midnight.

today.
bacon
tinned tomatoes
grapes
bananas
cheese hex a
3 x cappuccino 10.5s
joes sausages
potato
mushy peas
onions
gravy 1.5 syns
fry light to fry off the onions

when i make cottage pie later this week, i am going to adapt the Delia Sainsburys recipe off the tv ad. I do sometimes put swede in with the mince, onions and carrots, but i have never had leeks mashed in with the potato, so that will be something new to try. I will omit the grated cheddar tho.

I will enter food as from yesterday and so far today, and make a point of trying to update more often...

Went to a halloween party at friend's house and there was some buffet food, but I didn't eat a lot of it to be honest - mainly chicken, 3 cocktail sausages, 3 mini scotch eggs 2 small slices of pizza. Probably lots of syns, but as i've kept them relatively low this week I wasn't concerned, plus it didn't affect the loss too much this morning!


Today so far

bacon (no fat)
tinned tomatoes
2 eggs fried in frylight
mushrooms fried in frylight
coffee (milk from HeA allowance)

Off to the cinema with OH tonight to see new Bond flim, Skyfall - can't wait!! Heard good reviews on it already! We will most probably make an evening of it and go for food before the showing which is at 8:30pm (we were lucky to get tickets). After my brekkie this morning, I can't see me having much for lunch as it was a late-ish brekkie, but will have something light, so I'm not starving when we go out for food (which might tempt me to eat something I shouldn't!). Good luck to mum and everyone this week xx

 

[ffynnon]

thankyou daughter x. u have also done well this week and overall for the month, Don't forget slowly, slowly catchy monkey. I think you are the slow and steady type, so don't worry about small numbers, they soon mount up to be big ones. xx

:jelous: :jelous: :jelous: @ skyfall

happy with my 3 pound loss this week. making my total for the month just over 8 pounds (ever ounce counts lol). Just 10.5 pounds to go to my original target of 70kg (11 stone) I would like to get there by Christmas. We have 2 days coming up in November that will be off plan, or at least part of the days. One is a girly shopping day with DD and DGD and the other when we are having a family meal at a restaurant for DH birthday. Luckily they are not both in the same week lol.

today

bacon
tinned tomatoes
grapes
bananana
gammon
tomatoes
potatoes
Hm pickled onions
cappuccino 3.5
curly wurly 6
cheddar hex a

will probably have another cappuccino later, the hour goes back at 2am which means my 4 hr shift becomes a 5hr one will need something to keep me going

 

[ffynnon]

1lb lost this week, which i didn't expect after having a big meal last night before going to the cinema to watch Skyfall which was excellent.

81.1

really tired. start work again in 5 mins so just opening my diary for the day.

made some savoury egg muffins last night 1.5syns plus hex b for the whole lot so i just had two for breakfast

whole recipe
3 eggs
1 small onion
3 rashers very lean bacon
1 tomato
3 level tabs weight watchers half fat creme fraiche - 1.5 syns
40 gr reduced fat cheddar (hex a)

just enough for the 5 hole muffin pan that i bought specifically to make extra large muffins. the recipe i found used quark but i didn't have any but i figured that at .5 syns per level tab the creme fraiche was acceptable. Less than .5 syns each but for the purpose of SW food diary they have to go on as .5. if not using the cheddar as hex the cheese needs to be counted - I calculate 6.4 for 40grams - my giant muffin tray makes 5 so with the creme fraiche they would be about 2 syns each.


so far today

2 muffins - 1 syn
cheddar included in muffins - hex a
1 x cappuccino - 3.5 syns

grapes
apple
pear

working 8pm - 4am tonight so need to work out what to do about food during my shift. all the muffins are gone so will probably make some more later and then have 1 or 2 after midnight. i reckon that as the SW food diary changes at midnight then that is when my daily syns allowance starts as well especially on the days i work till 4am.
