    Yup if you have swede instead of mash it will be a red day ;)

    You can still have the cottage cheese that you were going to have AND you get to choose another HEA & HEB aswell :p (2 A's & 2 B's on Reds or Greens :T)

    Ideally on red day you want a little from the 'red' plan meat/fish with every meal( I think?).....Ive just been grabbing a slice of ham after my fruit at brekkie to make sure.

    Curry was lovely BTW, I'm definitely going to make that Classic Chicken curry for the freezer (Jan/Feb issue).

    Lisa, I don't know about the SW quiche but I've frozen one with a mashed potato base before and it's been just fine. As it's only two slices, why not try it?
    Don't forget that if you turn the day red you need to syn the peas of use a heB ;)

    DIZZY?? Or anyone else who occasionally needs dyno rod help :o

    Stupid leg been all painful, and taken stupid painkillers yesterday and they also stop other things, so my question to you is... 4 bowls of weetabix, HM parsnip soup and a bowl of mushy peas later, what next?

    Can't afford to shop for dyno rod ingredients until next week. WI is tonight... :o

    erm ... baked beans on ryvita/scan bran/Krisprolls?
    and lots and lots and lots of water to swish everything through ... oh it may be too late I bet you are being weighed now. Good luck x
    :jThat's 2 stone 9 lbs gone forever:j

    thank you Slimming World!

    Today hasn't been too bad so far....

    Breakfast - Hifi bar (B choice)
    Mid morning - banana
    Lunch - wholewheat spaghetti and passata (leftovers), strawberries and grapes
    Dinner - chick pea and mushroom curry with wild rice (1 syn for tikka masala paste)

    So I make that...
    No A choices
    1 B choice
    1 syn
    ...... so far

    Will probably have a couple of Babybels later as an A choice and maybe a Fudge (6 syns) as a treat?

    Ohhhhhhhhh p00 ! I put on 0.5lb :( Can only think it's due to such a big loss last week and upping my weights/cardio at the gym. I had a feeling I had STS (0.5lb is neither here nor there really) so I'm not surprised.

    Menu's have been good this week, not over-synned so no other explanation really. Oh well, onwards and upwards !

    Work tomorrow and for the next 3 full days after that so I'm being super-planned to ensure I stay on track and don't fall off the dizzy-wagon :D.

    So tomorrow's looking a bit like this (EE):

    B - 2 Slices Hovis w/meal (HEB), baked beans, egg and a grapefruit
    L - Pot noodle in a mug (free I think?), carrot and cucumber batons, banana, some melon and a mullerlight
    D - Spinach, potato and chicken curry and rice (DH has to bring this to Guides for me as I have to go straight after work, I shall have to sneak into the kitchen and eat it while the girls are busy ;)).

    Snacks - herein lies the problem :( I only get 1/2 hour for lunch so I've got to sneak out at some point tomorrow during the morning and afternoon to eat something. I'm thinking an Alpen light bar in the morning but not sure what I can wolf down in a minute in the afternoon - if anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful. It's only for the next couple of days like this, then I'll be on part-time hours and will have plenty of time for cooking/eating. I just don't want it to go to pot this week, especially after my gain.

    Sorry to waffle, I have gone on a bit haven't I? :p:o

    Majjak - like you say, 0.5lb is neither here nor there. Snack-wise - how about a boiled egg or too with some baby plum tomato's? Personally I could eat pickled eggs till they come out of my ears...any they're my emergency standby!
