  • Ok so I'm writing off yesterday!! I had a career's fair which had buffet lunch included so I stupidly didn't take lunch with me. Ended up just eating the fattening stuff cos it was there in front of me! :mad: I had to drive too so didn't get my 40min walk to work in. Then when I got home I just wanted to eat everything in sight (it's my star week, and I usually feel like this on it!).

    So back to normal today, green day:

    B - shreddies with skimmed milk (HEA and HEB)
    L - jacket potato, beans
    D - pasta, HM syn free tomato sauce, cheese (HEA)
    Snacks - fruit and 2 alpen lights (HEB)

    Can I just say im going to take my advice this week lol. Theres no point in me dishing it out then not following it.

    today im going Ee

    brekkie - fruit an yoghurt (busy morning)

    lunch ham, cheese (hea), cherry tomato and coleslaw (2syns) sandwich (heb)

    Dinner - chicken stirfry with loads of lime, garlic and chilli. served with noodles (all free)
    snacks, pineapple, yoghurt,and more fruit, plan to drink loads of water too.

    will have a choccy biscuit tonight (5 1/2 ) syns and maybe some SW chips if im still hungry.

    my consultant brought in a quiche sh made last night, It was the one with the cottage cheese and loads of peppers and onions. It was georgous. I thought you would taste the cheese but you didnt. So will get cottage cheese on trip to Tesco tomorrow.

    btw, Tesco are going HUGE pineapples half price just now. Down to £1.50, they are ripe and really juicy. I could happily munch a whole one.

  • no chicken skin eaten we had a whole chicken and I always eat the legs, and what little skin made it in to my mouth, I chewed a little then put it in the bin.

    So chicken could have been my healthy extra? both legs?

    On green for 1 healthy extra it is 71g cooked weight of chicken. Im afraid unless you weigh it before hand it would be hard to tell.

    But did you have any other healthy extra b's? I didnt see any so it will still be ok for an extra easy day.

    To be honest when im doing green I go completely veggie for the day. You can of course have your meat as a healthy extra, but you dont get much. Id rather have bread or cereal on green and I fancy meat I go Extras easy.

    Claire where did you see this?would love to have a look at it myself:D

    I bought it on eBay but read a magazine article by the author a few weeks ago - a lot of it made so much sense I thought I'd read the book!

    Aaghr, thought i'd avoided the buffet lunch provided for a meeting at work by bringing my own, but just been in the kitchen to heat up my quiche and it's full of food, which actually looks really nice for a change!! Actually I think I was more bothered by people thinking I'm weird for eating my own lunch when there's a free one going, but no-one said anything (might have thought it!) and I've escaped to my office to hide on here and eat in peace! Hmm, the mini Danish patries did look nice, but I'm just not going in there agin, safest way!!

    omelettes are quick to prepare with salad or baked beans.pasta with a quick sauce of passata ,herbs & chopped veg is another quickie tea.
    Good morning everyone! I'm online all day but can't get online in the evenings much (teenagers!!) - but I'm really enjoying the thread - it's very encouraging to see weight losses (I don't call 1 lb a small loss!! it's not a gain!) :T it's also really good for me to see what people are eating - it's giving me great ideas and also making me understand the programme better.

    Yesterday went like this:
    B: 2 weetabix with some skimmed milk (HEA and HEB - the rest of the milk went on cups of tea during the day)
    S: ML and frooot
    L: plain jacket pot with a ham salad (it was yummy - I was worried I'd miss the butter I normally would slather on the spud!)
    S: ML
    D: this is where things got out of hand - I didn't have time for dinner and to tell the truth I didn't feel hungry - I did however have 2 small glasses of wine watching the match later with hubby!!)

    I'm aiming for extra easy - I'm super busy this eveing too so I need ideas of what can be made for dinner on the run (we're working till 5.30, I've got a spinning class at 6.00 for 45 mins then we have this church thing at 7.45 for a couple of hours - busy busy busy!!)
  • Just reading back through the last few pages and everyone is doing really well which is really encouraging. Keep it up!!

    I went out last night and the plan to just have a few gins went straight out the window as cocktails were on 2 for 1 so my syns took a bit of a hammering to say the least. Still back on track today. I plan on going to the gym later when my hangover has subsided, or I may just go out for a walk/jog.

    Another green day planned:
    BF - 2 poached egg on 2 wholemeal toast with 2 laughing cow light as my spread (1xHEB, 1 x HEA and 5 syns)
    Lunch - will be HM carrot and ginger soup and fruit salad
    Dinner - I hoping to make the homity pie as it looks like good comfort food. I will have salad with it and maybe some Angel Delight for pud.
    I will also have 2 ryvita museli (HEB) and the rest of the laughing cows and milk allowance as my other HEA.
