Well done

 

[Tracey86]

Thank you ladies! I am so over the moon, and 90% of the time I am loving following the plan and eating all the tasty meals and I feel much less bloated and less sluggish too! Apart from being blocked up and snotty for most of the week but thats passing now thank goodness!

Today has been slightly better at work and its the weekend now so I'm feeling very indeed! We decided to call in at my Mum's on the way home from work today and ended up staying for dinner so it wasn't the best SW meal (no superfree) but it's only one meal so I'm not too worried.

Here's the diary:

Lunch: Pasta, tuna, yellow peppers, tomatoes, spinach, red onion, carrot, 2 tpsn EL mayo (1syn) Grapes, 2 clementine, Yoghurt. 2 x red plums


Dinner: 150g Tesco crispy potatoes (3 syns), 2 egg omlette with 14g cheese (1/2 HEXa) and ham, spaghetti hoops. Orange

Happy Saturday Everyone! I love Saturdays- best day of the week by far!

We tried the smash pizza thing tonight, it was really nice but we need to tweak it a little bit next time we make it to make it ever nicer.

My diary for today:

BF: 2 x ww bread toasted (HEXb), 2tsp flora light (2syns) Mushrooms. 1/2 banana.

Lunch: Tesco golden vegetable rice, sardines in tomato sauce. Apple.

Dinner: SW smash pizza topped with: passata, mushrooms, yellow peppers, spinach, ham, 42g LF cheese (HEXa). SW chips, mixed salad leaves

Snacks: apple, 25g marshmallows (4.5 syns)

Drinks: 1 x NAS tropical squash, 3 diet coke

TOTAL SYNS: 6.5 syns

I wanted to ask what you all grab for a quick lunch when you haven't pre-prepared something?
Like today, we were out and about and I was getting hungry, normally we would have grabbed a pre-packed sandwich or something from the shop but instead I stayed hungry until we got home and did the rice but I didn't really enjoy it or find it satisfying because I'd waited for too long for it if that makes sense.

Sorry for rambling on.

Hia. It's really frustrating when your out and about isn't it. I tend to plan before I leave the house. Most Saturdays I'll either make a SW quiche or home made soup after breakfast which I can tuck into as soon as I walk through the door!

If we get caught on the hop down a cup of coffee usually keeps me going. Not ideal though.

It's all about the planning hun

 

[Tracey86]

Thanks Ali, I'm really good at planning during the week but at the weekends I'm not so organised as we don't always know where we are going to be and when but you are right, I guess I just got to keep the planning up at the weekends too.

Well today has been a real foody day. I made a quiche for lunch at work during the week and a cottage pie for tomorrow nights dinner. And I made my first attempt at making a SW dessert. I tried the 1/2 syn roulade and actually was pleasantly surprised with it, although again I will tweak it a little next time we make it.

Meals are a little odd today:

Brunch: Bacon, Mince Pattie things, potato rosti (sort of), mushrooms, fry light eggs, chopped tomatoes, tinned spaghetti. It was massive but delicious!

Dinner: Aldi's sweet and sour pork shank (1.5 syns), roast potatoes, brocolli, green beans, yorkshire pud x 2 (4 syns) Slice of fruit roulade.

Snacks: 2 plums, 42g LF cheese (HEXa) with grapes, 2 x harvest morn bars

Drinks: 1 x NAS tropical squash, 3 diet coke

TOTAL SYNS: 5.5 syns

Dinner was delicious and even nicer because my OH cooked it for me which is a rare occurance- although he did give me about 10 roast potatoes and I couldn't eat it all! lol

Dinner wasn't what was on our meal plan (jacket spuds) but I didn't fancy them so I threw together a random collection quickly as we had to nip to Ikea. It was weird but kinda nice!

I'm getting a bit peckish now though so I might pop and grab a harvest bar and maybe a bit of cheese (other half of HEXa) and grapes....not sure yet!

I feel a bit deflated today..or rather inflated. I just feel fat, I know I am fat but what I mean is I don't feel like I've lost any weight this week, in fact I feel like I've put some on... it's weigh in on Friday but its * week for me so its probably that making me feel all bloated. I don't know, I'm rambling now aren't I. Sorry!

Moan over!
