Afternoon all...


Yemma - I always wish I could walk to work, that's sounds like some great body magic and money saving too!

Hi everyone,

Thinking of following, but can't afford to sign up. A friend from work has lost nearly 2 stone in only a few months using SW. I've done WW in the past, but it just doesn't seem to be for me.

Anyone know where I can find a free/cheap copy of all the free foods/healthy extras?

Thanks

TG, the recipe is from the SW All in One recipe book
Spiced Beef Free on EE
800g Lean Diced Stewing Steak all fat removed
3 garlic cloves crushed
2cm root ginger peeled and grated
(i use cheats garlic and ginger when I'm in a hurry)
1 teasp cumin, ground coriander,medium curry powder
4 red peppers cut into large chunks
2 lge onions
400g passata
800ml beef stock
1 cinnamon stick
2 cloves
3 cardamom pods lightly crushed
salt and pepper
coriander to garnish
Put beef, garlic,ginger,cumin, curry powder, coriander, peppers and onion into a pan, stir in passata and stock, cinnamon stick,cloves and cardamom. season and bring to the boil, cover and cook on low heat for 2 - 2 1/2 hrs.
I actually put it into my slow cooker and serve with rice
Delish, almost Rogan Josh flavours.

We had this today when we got home which was very welcome.
Lunch was late and it was sarnies and cake as I feared.
I had half a sandwich which was lovely as it was granary bakers bread:eek: tuna and cucumber. No idea what spread there was on it, think there was some mayo so have roughly calculated 7 syns. I refused the cake:A But had some fruit on the way home in the car:A:A
Back on training tomorrow morning so now I know what lunch will be will take Overnight oats with us.
A bit gutted also as I WI this afternoon as I couldn't get to class this morning and i've gained 1/2lb.
Have been over my diary and I was at the top of my syns for 3 days but nothing else that jumps out. Also did more walking than the last few weeks as I was poorly for the last few weeks, who knows!
Doesn't bode well for next weeks WI I'm away at the weekend for a family gathering. Back to where I come from for the interment of my mum and dad's ashes. Very emotional time. We all normally went home and had a base, met the family, cooked and ate. Family home is now gone so B&B and eating out. Onwards and upwards, keep on ploddin on as my Dad would say.
Definately need me choccie buttons tonight.

Menu for tomorrow
B - bacon, eggs, toms, mushrooms
L - Overnight oats
D - Spag Bol, salad
HEX A 350 S/milk for hot drinks
HEX B 35g porridge
Syns 1 tom sauce, 4 for italian cheese 4 buttons - so far
