Make 2013 a year to remember with Slimming World (Part 2!)

Skint_Catt

12 Speed food Soup:-

1 can mixed bean salad (Tesco's but I expect other stores do similar)
2 cans chopped tomatoes
1 can baked beans
1 can green lentils (couldn't find these so used a big handful of dried)
1 big handful red lentils
2 large leeks
1 large onion
4 carrots
2 parsnips
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 green pepper
2 Vegetable stock cubes
Salt & Pepper
Teaspoon mixed herbs
Water to cover ingredients

Chop all veg. Put everything into a huge pan (needs to hold aound 6 pints). Cover with water, bring to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for 30 mins or until veg are soft.
Once cooked you can blend smooth or leave chunky.
Freezes well. Tastes good and is excellent if you're a bit constipated

Evening all
Hope everyone's well. Slightly better day today, I've had a good amount of energy today (for once) I had a blood test this morning and I managed to go on a decent long walk afterwards. Was in a bit of pain when I got back but it seems to have eased thankfully - then I sat patiently from 1.30pm to 5.30pm doing my NVQ assignments - I managed to get through 5 of them which I was quite pleased at! My tutor text me at 8am saying OFSTED are in tomorrow and I hadn't even done one question so I thought I best be good and do some
Mum has just surprised me by saying she'll being some of my pressies down just before Xmas, then stay over and treat me to a day out in London :j Just booked the tickets so that's something to look forward to.
Ive been quite good again today - I've just had yesterday's leftover mushy pea curry for tea
Today's menu:
B: 2 Tesco Wheat Biscuits (HEXB) HEXA skimmed milk, chopped banana, coffee x 2 with HEXA skimmed
L: Tuna pasta (pasta, tinned tomatoes and tuna) apple, cherry Mullerlight, pint of NAS cordial
T: Mushy pea curry and Uncle Ben's micro long grain rice (1 syn) HiFi Choc Bliss Bar (6 syns) pint of NAS cordial
Total :7 syns
Hope everyone's ok xx

Hi flutterby_lil,

I used to have the graze boxes too before I started on SW - they are very nice but the syns are horrendous for a little pot :eek: so I gave them up too.

I am shocked to the core at their syn value!!

Thanks all for your help re the cookies, went for 5 syns each in the end after looking at various cookies online on the SW website.

Is here just...

I'm disappointed by the gain from this week as I have no reason for it?
Was well within syns, I've had a Chinese before and lost? Not star week no actual reason?
I thought if I'd been really bad and enjoyed loads like the week before I'd accept the gain?
I dunno I can't logically explain what I'm thinking so ill give up

I had the toad on Monday - all u can eat buffet (not even that nice)
Tuesday I was good actually 2 syns all day loads of super free And speed
Today I was good til tea time when we had planned a nandos after seeing the coke truck but wasnt waiting over an hour for a table so came home m had a Chinese
Least this week I know why ill have gained

Mildredd

Catt well done on club 10!!! Proud of you

Well done all losers
And if you gained well your in the cool kids club xxx

Skint_Catt

Thank you hun - it's been a long time coming, but made it eventually! I'm not sure I'll make the 2lbs this week for my 2 stone as I've been really bad using my cold as an excuse, naughty me

Got an interview tomorrow - a bit terrified, a bit blase but after 2.5 years out of work it'll be weird! Hope they pay more than min wage otherwise I won't be able to pay for childcare :wall:

Shala, please put me down for a STS this week.

Just a quick visit as it's late and I'm almost out of battery. Love to you all.

Good Luck with it Catt, let us know how it goes and well done with the Club 10, I am inspired!


Hugs to Mildredd and anyone else who needs them. I have also hit a flat spot in my motivation, I'm spot on all day and then about 9pm I just lose it and have too many syns for one girl on one day! Wake up feeling sooooo bad and off I go again. What really makes me annoyed with myself is that I have syns I don't even like, because I haven't bought any syns I do like!!


Finally could I just ask what is a graze box? sounds like a horsey thing, like a nose bag!

Good luck for the interview Skintcatt - I'm sure you'll do fab.

Mildredd, forget about it we all have weeks were we can't understand why we haven't lost and ones where we can't believe we have gained. You are doing so well and too well to give up now.

I'm so tired today - need to hibernate!

So got out for my walk again last night - which was good.

So bloated with PMT will be interesting to see what the scales say later. Always fighting a losing battle during PMT week I can't believe there is only 27 days until Christmas - mad
