Vixie_Pixie

I am so glad to read that i am not the only one who has been eating more since its got cold!!

Where i was so big before i used to get hot really quickly so never really felt cold but since i have shifted some of the weight i have become one of those people that is always cold!!!! Last week i was wearing my hooded scarf and gloves in the office!!

I have also been ravenous this last week - like h007 its a combo of being cold, PMT and the fact i am now coming down with this cold/flu thing thats been doing the rounds!! Yesterday i just seemed to not be able to eat enough despite the fact i ate LOADS!!

(hugs) Vickie - DH and I had that awful cold/lurgy when we got back from honeymoon and it really does weaken the defenses as far as the Plan is concerned. Had my flu jab yesterday; so hoping that will ward off any potential colds floating around in the air!:)

Fab news about the hearing aid Dizzy A colleage of mine at work wears one (I don't remember any dalek antenna) and he certainly never misses a beat he has a cochlea implant which press fastens to the side of his head (yes, he is a bionic man!) but won't wear it to work, since we worked out the cost of a pan of soup if it fell out into it while he was making it, and it was over £300! :eek: So he'd rather not wear that one to work. Plus he wasn't impressed when I suggested that if his "ear" fell off into the soup he'd be able to earwig on the customer's conversations, but also on their bowel movements :rotfl:

Good lord I'm just as obsessed with bowels as the rest of you! :eek:

I had a strange but yummy breakfast. I divided up a tin of heinz cream of tomato soup into 4 and froze the portions a while ago, thinking they'd make nice additions to pasta sauces. Re-discovered them when hunting for the frozen minced garlic (which by the way is a life saver, very MSE and every freezer should have a bag of it) and ended up defrosting that in a pan with some garlic (so the moistness helped cook the garlic) and whizzed up with a tin of chickpeas and some seasoning. It was scrumdiddlyumptious and I reckon 3 syns for the whole lot (which, I ate in one go with cue and pepper crudites).

...I have got through 4 tins of chickpeas in 4 days... I may start to resemble one at this rate

I shall try the lentil soup, thank you I *might* cheat with a ham stock cube in the first instance, as I haven't time to boil up a hock etc, but will do it the proper way soon cos it sounds too good to miss out on. However, I will continue to be jet-propelled! :eek:

Was thinking butternut squash and roasted red peppers sounds like a good soup mix. Another one to try soon. I'm amazed I can eat soup at the moment without even thinking about needing some "crunch" from bread or ryvita. :A


Today is looking like this:

B: cue, peppers & houmus (3)
L: green goddess soup (the last of it, its lasted well but only because I prefer the dyno rod one and have made two batches of that in the same time frame )
is undecided. I might just be lazy and have something from the store cuboards - rice and veggies probably. I have a tin of refried beans calling me, but I think the consequences would just be too much for my poor new girl who is starting work tonight :rotfl:

Snacks will be in the evening with a wheat-free hifi type bar (I am going to try cheating and have this as a healthy and fruit at work.

The weekend is looming, and can be a challenge for me since I work and because of wheat free-ness I am struggling for grab and go type food. I am planning on dividing up some nuts etc into B choice portion bags to keep in the car, and need to buy some more fruit as snacks. I have a frozen tupperware of dyno rod soup which I was hoping to keep as an "oh I forgot about that" but may have to come out to play for lunch or dinner saturday or sunday.

Any suggestions that don't involve wheat of things I can buy today to help me through a hectic weekend? I can reheat things if that helps, and will probably be EE.

I couldnot find any reply about quantities for GG soup so improvised. Its just cooling down a shade but the taste I had was lovely.

Can I now ask another favor, the receipe for Dyno Rod soup with some quantities please.

TIA:j Whitehall WI to morrow 9.30am

df had burger, chips and coleslaw :eek: good job he has a good metabolism

Well done to you all on your weight losses.
Now if you can give me some green ideas to take to work for lunch i'd be very grateful. We do have a microwave at work.

mmmmm my favourite vegetarian dishes to take to work (all home made) are:
pasta with a spicy tomato sauce
dhal with potatoes
big box of mixed salad, and some cooked potatoes to warm up to toss into the salad

I get so hungry in cold weather! Am making the most of SW rice pud - trying to have a bowl of that in the fridge or some soup made for when hunger strikes!

Today has been

B - Beans, Veg bacon (2), mushrooms and toms

L - Soup, M&S Orzo pasta salad tub (1.5)

D - making SW beanie sausages for first time, SW chips and the sauce to go with the sausages, not sure if it will be salad or vege with it yet.

Snacks so far - 1 banana

Will have rice pud later with berries, maybe a hot choc (3-4)

I also went for a walk by the canal this am as there was a canal boat festival on, then went to the gym for an hour and jogged back the mile home after.

It was my first visit to the gym - I was in there an hour and saw no one - and that includes the staff!!! So could not pay my £4 - right mkoney saving gym visit:rotfl: No I'll pay when I next go but will also say I was not impressed with no staff as not exactly safe I'm sure - good job I did not fall off anything!

Can't see me joining really as only got cardio there and I like weights (and I struggle with a whole hours cardio:o)

oh btw I now have a slow cooker FULL of the ingredients for World of Favours Basque Style Chicken - I hope it's good because they say it feeds four, and it looks to me as if it would feed 8, you have to have vegetables on the side anyway as it only includes garlic, red pepper, shallots and passata.

Well i've had a mega syntastic day!!!!!!!!

I planned a green day but went a bit wrong with my syns thanks to my mate:mad:

B - bran flakes (heb and part hea)
L - noodles and mullerice - which she told me was only 5syns, she then sat and watched me eat it then decided to tell me it was only the low fat ones that are 5syns and the one i just ate was 11syns. Couldnt believe it
T - mash, chicken (heb) and loadsa veg, gravy (1syn) 2 mini yorkies (3syns)
S - mini haribo - something else my friend also told me was 1.5syns but actually turns out they are 2.5syns.

Total syns - 17.5

Anyway after realising that she'd worked out a whole load of syns wrong i found a load of low(ish) syn sweet treats (its almost my totm and i always get sweet cravings:o). Thought i'd list a few on here -
10p flumps - 1.5syns
fizzy laces - 1syn each
sugar free chuppa chups - 0.5syns
mini starmix bags 2.5syns or normal size ones are 0.5syns each
rainbow drops 28g bag - 4syns
werthers sugar free - 0.5syns each
funsize pack lovehearts - 1syn
12 tic tacs (all flavours) - 1 syn
matchmakers - 1syn each
funsize - mars 4syns
- milky way 3.5syns
- stars 3.5syns
tesco funsize bars are - 4syns each except bounty type one which is 6syns
chomp bar - 3syns
celebrations - 2syns each
99 flake (one you get in a box to go in cornet) - 2.5syns
sainsburys sugar free marshmallows 75g(whole bag aparently) 7syns
nestle skinny latte - 4syns on original and free on green and EE (not sure why tho.

anyways hope this helps someone, i'm not a 'proper' member and always find list like this help. I just hope i got it all right, found most of it on other forums.
Tis my weigh in tomoro morning and i'm dreading it now, especially after today:o
