Be a Stunner for Summer - Slimming World support thread 2017

Today's menu:

Breakfast: a mandarin,2 apricots,apple

Lunch: home-made butternut squash soup: butternut ,potato,onion ,and 2 slices toast (HEB+ 3syns),marg (1 syn)

Snack: nectarine

Snack: 2 apricots

Hunter's chicken (just under 2 syns for cheese),served with rice,mange tout,swede,fried onion and peppers.

Tonight,having forgotten that I had had toast at lunch,I had my 2 Hifi bars ( and considered having a third ),so 6 syns there .

Have been having milk in cups of tea.

Ooohhhh-just did the maths-only 12 syns for the day.Woohoo.Felt like alot more as I was typing it out :rotfl:.Mind you,I haven't had 2 pieces of toast/bread in a day since starting back at SW.It was just such a wet,miserable day today,and I had an unexpected afternoon off,so I just fancied spoiling myself with home-made soup and warm toast.

Another week flown past - weigh-in tonight but expecting to maintain or slightly put on.

Well done Mrs Ryan, great achievement 🙂 Know how you feel with the study/good thing. I'm in the last couple of weeks of my PGCE & Tuesday involved a teaching job interview in the morning (first one and you have to teach a lesson as well as a panel interview) and then straight to uni for an assessed end of course interview... So any food planning has gone out the window & I had Pizza Hut pizza for dinner Tuesday. And finished it off last night :eek:

I got the job though!! Woohoo. So pleased & relieved. Means that from September, in my (very) late 40's I will be a newly qualified teacher, something Ive wanted to do for years. Just need to apply the same determination to my food/diet now.

Lantanna, that's so annoying & rude of that employer My oldest has had similar experiences recently, after travelling g an hour for a Friday evening interview & it taking 3 weeks to an answer (after they kept stalling on a decision) to say they were 'reviewing the role'. Nothing like wasting people's time and money :mad:

Anyhow, waffling on now, will update with gain/loss tonight... Have a good day all!

Oh well done Squiggly! That's one good thing about teaching, at least you find out on the same day as the interview - although once they got us all together in the staff room to tell us together which was a bit like a nightmarish version of the Oscars: "And the job goes to........... the bloke who turned up in jeans!" (OH YES).


Following on from that, sorry to hear about the job Lantanna, but as others have said would you want to work for a company who can't even send a response to interviewees?! I mean how much work can it be to copy and paste a standard email just to put people out of their misery? It's just plain ignorant.

I've had an acknowledgement but no proper response from the job I applied to last week. I think I was lured into a false sense of security by getting to the interview stage of the first two I applied for. There are other interesting things advertised at the mo though, so will keep plugging, and will get myself down to the temping agencies to try to secure something for when I get back from Paris at the beginning of June.

they used to say a pint of water weigh a pound and a quarter, so dont drink before you get weighed;)

Haha love that little rhyme! Always do it first thing before imbibing anything and hopefully after a loo trip. Really do need to up my intake long-term though.

Yesterday wasn't massive on syns but my lunch was a mug shot and two alpen lights, so it wasn't great! Today's plan:

Brunch - Bacon, onion, mushroom, tomato and potato fry up
Tea - Pork steaks with mixed veg from freezer and some Aunt Bessie Carrot and Swede mash
HEA - Milk
HEB - Alpen lights
Syns - Sugar (3), mash (1), hot choc (4) = 8

Have a lovely day everyone! I'm off to get my nails and roots done and my fringe trimmed so I'll be like a new woman by sunset!

I drank far too much prosecco on Saturday night, and ate 3 slices of pizza. I'm gonna try harder this week.

Just having a quick catch up before I go and hang out some washing, and noticed the profanity filter has put !!! in Shiprob's user name - for the life of me I can't see what could possibly be profane about it, anyone else know?

Back soon with a proper post.
