but then we had to go pick up a clay pot my daughter had painted through the holidays at a not so healthy cafe. Ended up having a wensleydale and red onion chutney panini with a large latte and a shortbread biscuit that I ate without even thinking.

I find it so difficult to find places to eat out for a snacky lunch that are SW friendly. Everywhere you go the menus are full of bread and pastry options. I suppose it's cheap and easy to prepare. Coffees are another minefield, easy to waste a days syns on just one. Obviously, you didn't have a choice on that one but I try to go for Americano with hot milk (hate cold coffee!) and try to search out places that do jacket potatoes.


Harvester is SW friendly if you choose well abbafan. Hope you enjoy it.:)


esmy, I find I stick to water if I'm driving, fizzy if I'm pushing the boat out, as I hate sweet drinks. That's why I have grapefruit squash with breakfast it's the sharpest I've found. I always feel dehydrated in the mornings so I missed my fruit juice when I started SW so I have squash instead. Sainsbury's NAS High Juice is my favourite. Robinson's Lemon and Pink Grapefruit is a cheaper option which is quite good too.


Sorry to hear about your panic attach shala:A. Keep in touch and I'm sure you'll get sick of comfort food very soon. Once SW is ingrained, I find we fall back into it sooner or later.:)


Good to see you posting lush, especially taking some time for yourself at the weekend. If your employer withdraws the parking permits, they're effectively making a pay cut:mad:. I use public transport for local journeys and most have free wifi so that's good for catching up. Some people I know drive to the edge of the controlled zone and walk/bus from there.


My stomach ache is better today. I'm not sure what caused it, could have been drinking too much lemon water which, as I can't taste, was perhaps too sour. I've portioned up the goulash (now turned into chunky chilli) for the freezer and kept some out for me to have with a JP. Still ploughing on with the meal plan as I don't expect DH to have another microwave ready meal today. I always keep a few in the freezer for when I'm eating out but poor s*d's had three this week.:D


Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit, HEB porage, HEA milk for drinks
L: choice of soup or JP
roast chicken, SW roast potatoes and parsnips, swede & carrot mash, cauli, broccoli and any other veg I fancy cooking
Syns: squirt of syrup, HM gravy and whatever else I fancy as the bank is looking healthy!:D


ETA: Aldi has a good selection of veg on Super 6 this week: cauli, carrots, parsnips, leeks, onions and can't if anything else. The cauli looks lovely and quite large too.
