Heading for winter with Slimming World

Morning All,

Have been a good girl & not jumped of the tank once this week :A (so far!)

Today is a red day as i am out with a friend - should have been last week but they couldn't make it as their niece was rushed into hospital - found out later that evening it was leukemia! She is only 2 bless her - turns 3 tomorrow & was due to go on hol the day she was rushed into hos!

I know this sounds awful - i don't mean it to - but when ever i feel down about my weight now - i think of the little girl & parents and think i am lucky to be healthy (albeit on the chunky side! :rotfl:)

So meal plan today

B - Punnet of strawbs (10p - thanks Mr T!) with vanilla ff onken
L - chicken, quorn pieces (1/2), couple pickled eggs, banana, muller
D - Out so will have the big plate hunters chicken (cheese = hea) with beans (heb) and a jacket (heb) (or mixed grill???) followed by the smallest dessert on the menu (5) with a latte (hea)

Decisions, decisions - now looking at the menu the italian chicken parmigiana looks nice - What would you choose if you were on a red day???

Morning all!
Well the first food battle of the visitors yesterday went well-ish. I had free food all day and then at the pub I had a diet coke with a quorn chilli and rice (3.5 syns for the veggie chilli according to the SW web site) with about 5 plain nachos/tortilla triangke things - I left the sour cream and guacamole. Later in teh evening I had a bowl of strawberries with a small dollop of choc spread - when all added up it came to less than 15 syns so not bad for a visitors day.

BUT - they're still here! And today is another meal out - this time lunch at a pub after dog walking:(

So far I've planned...
Breakfast - banana
Lunch at pub - thinking jacket spud to try to be controlled:o
Tea - quorn slices (free), cucumber, tomatoes, reduced fat houmous, pickled beetroot, cheese if HEA left after lunch
Evening - strawberries and raspberries

That's the plan - now all I have to do is stick to it!

Well done Gien!!

Have you ever been to a pub that doesn't do jacket spuds!!! I have now!:mad::mad:
The least bad thing I could have (I'm veggie too so more awkward) was a red pepper houmous wrap that came with chips and diet coke.
I was sooo good :A - I ate about 7 chips (good job it was a small bowl, the dog got the rest before I changed my mind) and the wrap - I'm counting 8 syns for the wrap, B choice for the little bit of houmous in it, 5 syns for the few chips.

So that's 13 syns so far - it'll have to be a free tea tonight:( I suppose I have A choices and maybe 1 more B to use if desperate.
On the positive side I pushed my quite heavy sister in her wheelchair along the canal for an hour - quite hard work, hopefully negating the chips! Grrrrrr!

Is there anyway you could cook for them, and hence control what you are eating? the OH is doing SW and some of the meals we eat are really nice, we have had friends/family over and they have commented on how tasty they are.

Why is Total 0% Greek yogurt so expensive? (£2.00 in Asda and Tesco)
Why haven't the supermarkets got their own version?

I love this stuff as it is so versatile and Free.

Mmmmm nessie. looking at your Hungry Horse menu made me really starving! You don't want to hear about the things I would really choose;) but as a good SW choice I'd have the sirloin steak with mushrooms, peas, tomato and ask them to substitute the chips for a jacket. I don't do red so I'm not sure how that fits with your syns/HEs. My reasoning is that I can make very good chicken and tomatoey type things at home but IMO it needs a professional kitchen to have the grill hot enough to do steaks to my liking.

Welshwoofer, it's infuriating when pubs don't do jackets and the 'healthy options' aren't healthy at all (like salads full of oily dressings and coleslaw, or sandwiches made of the wrong bread with added mayo or soup with loads of cream). I really think eating out is the hardest thing on SW.

:T gien on your 4lbs. Very motivating!

I'm just off to batchcook some curry. I found an old WW (:shhh:) cookbook while doing some decluttering and there's a madras recipe I'm going to try that looks free from the ingredients.

Today's EE menu:

B: NAS squash, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, baked beans HEB toast, HEA milk for teas
L: sandwich with laughing cow, tomato and leaves, satsuma
pasta with mushrooms, bacon, leeks, peas and philly
Sys: weekend wine syns:j and something for the philly
