Trust me to have a couple of meals out in the first week I go back to SW! I am having food with one of my best friends on Friday. I am actually going to ask her to be my bridesmaid on the evening too! Then I'm at a wedding fayre on Sunday and having lunch with my mum and godmother afterwards.
I have done it before and I can do it again...

It's sort of a chilli beef bake thing!
It is soooooo gorgeous!
1lb Extra lean minced beef, beef stock, 1 tsp cumin, 2x parsnips chopped, 1 chopped white onion, 1 tin of chopped tomatoes, HEA of grated cheddar, S&P, 1 standard mug of rice, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp Chili flakes, 2 cloves of crushed garlic.
Put the minced beef and chopped onion in a large non stick pan and fry until the beef is brown and the onion is soft. Add all other ingredients except the cheese. Mix well, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes until the rice is cooked and the liquid has absorbed (stir occasionally) taste and add more salt and pepper.
Put the mixture into a large ovenproof dish and sprinkle the cheese over. Bake at 200 until the cheese has melted and the top has browned.
Goodness it was so nice!

Right I have looked at Pizza Express online as that's where I'm going tomorrow... nothing is low syn, with the possible exception of the superfood salad which doesn't look too good! All of their salads come with those dough stick things which I wouldn't eat anyway so I wonder how many syns it would be without them? The Niçoise salad is 19.5 Syns including dressing and dough sticks.... they also do something called a Bosco Salad but that is 31.5 including dressing and dough sticks.
Booooo
I was also going to have a little drink, but it seems like a nightmare!

Managed to reduce Saturday night to pulled pork, chips and salad! Yay!
This was dinner- lovely and Syn free
Chicken, butternut squash, jalapeño, onion and garlic stew with chicken stock. Served with rice.
Then a Creme Egg (9) and a Blue Riband Coffee Cream (5)
That actually pulls me to 16.5 as I mis-synned the creme egg and thought it was 7. Proves that it's a good idea to look it up before you eat it!

I still can't work out the Syns for my food tonight, but I also don't want to feel like I've eaten air!
I still have my porridge and golden syrup so that takes 2.5 off my dailies. I am seriously considering the Tuna Niçoise salad (19.5 with dough sticks which I wouldn't eat) but even their low fat Leggera American Hot Pizza on a GF base is 20... I was sort of hoping if I found something low syn that I could have a cheeky glass or two of wine!
* week has also kindly appeared :/ at least tomorrow night is looking a little less synful, not sure about lunch with my Godmother and Mum though...
What a test!
Anyway:
Breakfast is Coffee, plus 40g HEXB of porridge with 1 tbsp Golden Syrup (2.5)
Fruit to be eaten at work...
Lunch:
This is currently jalapeños and pickled veg in a pot as I am nipping to Asda for some chicken. I did have some Heinz Mexican Creationz but it's 2 Syns a tin and I'm trying to stay as low as I can.

Eek sounds a few tricky days ahead syn-wise! Will be nice for you to catch up with everyone though. I imagine the dough sticks add a lot in terms of syns to salad- don't suppose they're listed elsewhere on the app so you could take them off?!
I think it's good that you're at least being mindful of what is what- even if they are high syn options!
See if you can claw it back in between with syn free meals and lots of speed? Sorry that's my only suggestion!
Hope you have a lovely weekend! X

So, this weekend...
On Friday, I got my 2 packs of hot and spicy chicken, 2 pots of apple and grapes, blood orange with more grapes and pomegranate seeds and some sugar free lucozade. So all good as far as lunch is concerned.
Ended up having to do the late shift due to a few issues at work... legged it to the train station, then home with 10 mins to spare before I went out.
Got to restaurant, half the things off the menu not available due to an electrical issue... ended up with mozzarella and Tomatoes for a starter, a Fiorentina (spinach, egg, Parmesan, black olives and tomatoes) pizza on a GF base and 2x Diet Coke. Not good, but lovely!
Then Saturday, chicken and pepper skewers at Wetherspoons for breakfast followed by 2 hot and spicy chicken breasts (2) with homemade chips and a packet of sable grapes. Then when we got to our friends' house, I had 2 Bfree wraps (HEB + 4.5) with homemade pulled pork (2) served with mixed salad, her version of SW strawberry Eton mess (3.5), 1 gin and sugar free fizzy peach water (3) and 2 tins of Diet Coke - quite pleased really as my friend is on SW, but doesn't stick to it very often so I'm pleased it wasn't too bad!
Yesterday I went to a wedding fayre with my godmother and mother. 1 normal black coffee for breakfast followed by a then out for lunch (at Edinburgh Woollen Mill which was surprisingly nice!!!) jacket potato with baked beans, side salad and a Tbsp coleslaw for lunch (2) and a Diet Coke. Then some sugar free lucozade in the afternoon followed by homemade steaks (1) with homemade chips, onions, garlic, tomatoes and mushrooms. I did however, commit the cardinal sin and have a bloomin medium cappuccino from costa (8) I don't know what possessed me, I'm normally so good with my Americano!!! Lesson learnt...
On the whole not too horrendous..
