I'm in the hate camp - they taste like coconut matting to me - DH loves them! But he likes marmite too!:)

Good evening all
Well done on the losses :j and I hope those feeling poorly are better soon


Well we went for the walk around the golf course earlier and so my meal plan ended as a green day :-

• 250ml semi (A)
• 1 apple
• 1 banana
• 2 egg omelette with
• mushrooms
• onions
• 42g low fat cheddar (B)
• fresh pineapple
• 1 apple
• home made wedges (0.5)
• mushy peas
• 2 quorn burgers
• activia intensely (2.5)
• 250ml semi (A)
• 1tsp camp (0.5)

So thats 2A+1B and only 3.5 syns used... so I need to use my other B and some syns later -although I haven't had my yog or coffee yet .....

Well, I did the freezers out yesterday (I won't go into detail... dizzy has seen the list and its rather )-still at least we won't go hungry
I didn't get around to sorting out the cupboards today -couldn't face it -so if I can convince myself I will make a start tomorrow, hubby is at a golf competition so I can get a good run at it . I have started sorting out some meal plans to use up what I have :A
Pixie -I will put the oven version of the pork on tomorrow ... its still really simple



right I will get off and catch up..have a lovely evening all...

there is a third category
like
hate
tolerate because they give GOOD bms in the couple of days before weigh in.

Though today I have finally tracked down some sugar free polo mints which a few months ago a few of you said have the same effect and are far tastier!:rotfl:

try scan bran - once you've tried them you'll think ryvita are nectar

i ate too many sugar free polos once and yes they did give me good bm's but they also gave me good tummy cramps to match so be careful
my poor little body if not used to fibre so the hi fi bars are having a bit of an affect on me

sounds yummm thanks Im a butternut squash virgin lol so all help appreciated.......You do peel it dont you???

Virgin or not, you'll enjoy this recipe, I guarantee. It's dead easy to do and so tasty you'll be making it every week I'm a wimp so I cut down on the hot stuff (ginger & curry powder).


Butternut Squash Soup

1 large butternut squash
1 large onion
Frylight
2 pints hot water
1 teaspoon curry powder (I use ½ tspn)
1 teaspoon ground ginger (I use ½ tspn)
2 vegetable stock cubes
Very low fat natural yoghurt (optional)

Cut and remove seeds from the squash and chop into 1” chunks (no need to peel but remove the lumpy bits on the end).
Dry fry the chopped onion in Fry Light for 2 mins.
Add curry powder & ginger and cook for a further minute.
Stir in the cooked squash and add the stock cubes & 2 pints of water
Bring to the boil, and then simmer for 30 mins.
Puree in blender and serve with a swirl of low fat yoghurt if liked.

You don't need to peel it... funnily enough I was having this convo last night at work as I LOVE LOVE LOVE roasted butternut squash.

Whenyou cut it open, itll have seeds inside, scoop those out, cut into nice strips and roast....mmmmmmmmm..... I'm having a roasty on sunday so I'm going to roast this with parsnips and carrots.

Any ideas how I can do roast potatos etc keeping it relatively syn free?

I do my roasties exactly like I do the SW chips - along with roasted parsnips and sweet potatoes but I cover them with foil for 30 mins till the potatoes have a bit of extra heat in the oven then zap them all together for another 20 - 30 mins on hot-ish.

have an ee day, but have accidently consumed 2 hi far bars |(woops)so i think i will have 2 b's and no a's today



bf- 2x hi fi bars
lunch- spag hoops, shape zero yogurt
dinner- cod, poatoes, peas, sweetcorn

syns- to be confirmed

Oh but that's not an EE day at all

IMO you really ought to eat your superfree with your other food as it gives you a more 'real' looking lunch/dinner. If you were eating out it would all be on the same plate, so why not eat it like that at home?

It's no good having a HEB in place of a HEA as they are for different things (Bs give you fibre, As give you calcium).

You may find that some pre-planning will help you to eat better. Sit down when you've nothing else to do for an hour and plan some meals for the following day or two (or more if you've time). It helps to do this before you shop so that you know what you need to have in. It saves a lot of hassle (and picking at the wrong things) when you're tired and hungry at the end of a working day.

Don't worry, it'll all fall into place before long

Oh woe is me, been so tired this week have fell off wagon abit. Had Chinese [again ], the cashews/peanuts I said I wouldn't eat kept attacking me & today my best work colleague retired and I had cake [not a very big bit, about the size of my middle & index fingers together wide and length] whoever cut it wimped abit on the servings :rotfl:. I have been feeling really sad knowing she was leaving [cried this morning when I said goodbye] and have been craving rubbish to comfort me.

Will hope for best at WI

Food today:
B - weetabix milk [a] coffee
L - wm roll , s/cream [.5], cc loaf, toms, activia, [cake?]
T - sw chips, oil spray [2], cc loaf [last of], egg, beans, t/sauce [1]
Snacks - handful cashews/peanuts [?], crisp [5], banana, cupasoup [5], pineapple, melon, onken, meringue [2.5], [maybe chocolate as its calling me ]
Syns - who knows am too tired to care [bad girl:(]

Have been trying to convince myself the nuts are HEb!!

Am so glad its half term, will spend most of it asleep I expect.
