Slimming World - a Christmas countdown!

Brrrrrrr! this cold weather makes me want to eat!!!

Have managed to resist the call of hot chocolate whilst out shopping.

Todays food:

B - 2 wheatbix and a banana, rice milk

L - Vegetable soup out with 1/2 slice wholemeal bread.
(cafe owner informed me their soup is always veggie/vegan/gluten free ans low salt and they don't use oil just stock powder)

Snack - banana, apple

Dinner - not sure yet maybe jacket and ratatouille and soya cheese or ratatouille and savoury rice and veggies?

Might have a glass or red or mulled wine for syns later or a hot choc?

Even avoided the free samples of port/chocs in M&S.

Still tring to warm up now so bitter out but at least no snow yet in the Midlands.

MrsM I love sprouts and cabbage, cooked and cold, yum! I always make red cabbage at Christmas as it is my favourite but the rest of the family think I am mad. It is my favourite food at Christmas. And I always lose weight at Christmas, but put it back on again afterwards. Not this time though, I am determined.

mummyof5 I did the same as you last night But today is another day That is what I love about SW.

I am making dyno-rod soup for tonight and a chicken and spicy tomato sauce with rice. A kind of home made, made up curry. I use lots of different spices, peppers and chopped tomatoes with cooked chicken left over from Thursday. Still struggling to fatten up DH as I lose weight. He is still losing and I ned to do something more fattening with his spicy chicken. I won't let him have the soup.

So today is an EE day
breakfast-banana and satsuma

lunch-egg and veggie burger
satuma and apple
HEa. milk
HEb not sure yet

Dinner dynorod soup
spicy chicken and rice

Last night I drank wine, first time in over a week but I did feel guilty, far too many syns

Thanks to all who have advised on what I can take in a flask to work. I didn't think about normal meals (i.e. spag bol) and just make the sauce runnier. It's always the most obvious things you don't think about!

I am lucky in that my dh needs to lose a teeny bit of weight, well only 1/2-1 stone max, but at least I don't need to worry at the moment about bulking his meals out, he just has far bigger portions than me anyway!

How about doing him some wedges with cheese sprinkled over as well as the rice....I do this a fair bit when we have a chilli.....

hello all
well i am back again - that was quick wasn't it

((HUGS)) Back from where...I didn't even know you had gone anywhere:whistle:;)

Just jump back on, I don't have any words of wisdom about the 'writing things down' but sounds like it's worth a try just concentrating on HE's/Syns....see how that goes x


The kids pestered me to make some shortbread biscuits today....I ended up eating 4:o They were soo delish! I have now put them in a box and away in the cupboard and they can all share what's left after their dinner:A

I have not done great today and seem to have had a snacky head on me:cool:

scrambled egg and beans
snack a jack
clementine
soup
clementine
2 x snack a jacks
4 x shorty biccies
sausage bun (with ketchup)

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, not great at all is it?

Well done losers :T good to see some are having a good day.

I think all our wagons have hit a few potholes due to the bad weather so its not our fault we fall off :rotfl:

I have been attacked by the golden syrup cake fairies who told me the slice I had was syn free then after the brisk but cold walk home from mothers [walked there too :A] via waitrose to collect a few bits mr A didn't deliver, I was 'forced' to eat white toast, butter & lemon curd [well I had just carried the bread a mile home in the snow]. I did a bit better by having pineapple, melon, onken & meringue though. Imagine I will be up in night as was after 6pm when I ate it. Can't believe Mr A didn't have bread or melons [nor did waitrose so slightly miffed now] or aromat and waitrose dont sell it either :mad:. Gonna have to get to Mr T at some point if the roads are passable but with the forecast for more snow we may be snowed in .

Thanks that is a good idea. I hadn't thought but I could make him some proper chips And I will put a bit of cheese on his rice. He works outside so is using a massive amount of calories just to keep warm.

I have the same problem with home-made biscuits. I never touch bought but I can't resist 'testing' when I have made something.

Me too. But I can report drinking at least a bottle of red wine AND eating a festive turkey dinner that was cooked in a very non SW way.

Relatives!

(had a great night though so I don't care )

Glad it's not just me then Mrs!!!

It's the chocolate fairies lurking here and the feeling I need to eat - has to be cold weather linked? Had a huge jacket spud for tea with beans and 28g soya cheese, also fancied some fresh vege so steamed a pile as in over half a big dinner plate of carrot/brocolli/cauli/asparagus/courgette/green beans.

Syns today were the choc and a small mug of mulled wine earlier:o

Have managed to stop at 4 cubes of choc:o

Still feeling the need for a snack now or a hot choc so am going to drink some water and go to bed soon, other option is some rice pud or a yoghurt as I am a bit hungry but late to be eating.

I'm not normally this bad for wanting sweet foods!
