Today's menu

B - Bacon, egg, tomatoes, mushrooms

D - SW burgers, SW chips, salad of lettuce, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes, celery and pickles.

T - Mushy pea curry

HEXA - Milk in tea
HEXB - Not sure yet, possibly Alpen lights

Syns - Hot chocolate, maybe some cheese triangles or an extra bar

Bit of a change, usually love the curry but the spices made my cold worse :eek:

So Tea was tuna mayo, a jacket potato and another huge salad, plus speed soup, a deli box, kiwi and pineapple :eek:

Over a good couple of hours so some was probably snacking.

Syns:

2 EL mayonnaise
1.5 Deli box
1 EL triangle
2 options before bed

Still on for the 7/7/7

Possibly haven't been quite 1/3 SF today but have eaten a fair amount and mixed it up more too, being ill either sends me starving hungry or into starvation mode.

Saw a good recipe in Sainsbury's Magazine (freebie) for roasted chickpeas. Basically, it's a tin of drained chickpeas dusted with various spices then crisped up in the oven. Would make a good alternative to peanuts if you're prone to snacking or taking to cinema etc. I remember having something similar on holiday in Egypt. Can post exact recipe if anyone's interested.

hi maman - I was told that if you did this to your chickpeas it was classed as abuse :eek: and had to be synned. In all honesty I wouldn't worry too much. I think there are quite a few grey areas at times.

Beanie!!! I'm failing miserably at sw but I'm in a nice place really so can't grumble too much really
How are you?

Evening all *munch, crunch* sorry,eating a rather yummy apple. They're called kanzi apples and are small and sweet, a bit like pink lady but marginally cheaper. These ones have been in the fridge for about two weeks so are lovely and crisp and crunchy. I'm finding this target mullarkey hard going! I'm so worried about losing too much but on the other hand don't want to gain massive amounts either- I've got my big trip coming up in 11 days and I want to look my best but I don't want to slip out of target range either..! I'm reluctant to up my HEX's as that will result in a gain (that's why I stopped green days) I was nearly naughty tonight but surprisingly my tea filled me up so much I've only just eaten again and it was quite saintly I'm doing the Slimming World Race for Life tomorrow. I'm a bit worried as I've hurt my right hand (yoga ) and it's just where I hold my crutch I went out for a walk today to practice and my hand was killing me when I got back I haven't got anything to strap it with either. I've got a thick sock to put over my hand to cushion it from the hard plastic of my crutch handle but could have done with some strapping. Hey ho.. Never mind. Quite looking forward to it actually!
Today's menu:
B: HEXB Weetabix with Mullerlight and banana. NAS cordial.
L: Big mixed salad topped with chicken chunks and gherkins, cheese twist (2 syns) Frappucino with HEXA semi skimmed, mini milk lolly (1.5 syns)
T: lean mince (the free one) with passata and Uncle Ben's Mexican Rice with lime, (2.5 syns) fresh blackberries, 2 Muller Greek style coconut yoghurts (1 syn) litre of Buxton water
S: Salt and vinegar Ryvita Minis (multipack size so smaller bag- 4.5 syns) 2 apples, NAS cordial

Argh hubby wants me to help him diet and lose weight but he won't follow slimming world as he says he will have to starve himself. He says it's stupid to have to weigh cereal and he won't eat some stuff that I eat like quiche salad and veg so I've no idea how he expects to lose weight

Any room for a fat little green one? ...

Nice to see you all :beer: You are right, it's Summer Holidays and I was thinking about hopping on here as I have more free time, so you second guessed me. Hello Maman TIE Beanie And Mildredd xxxxxxxxxx :A

I have been dreadful. I do actually feel VERY low at the moment but I don't want to turn this into a huge moan

I had some crappy news at work, was technically 'demoted' although didn't lose any money, and the powers that be said it wasn't a demotion, but it feels like it, and I've taken it as a really personal kick in the teeth.

Was my 24th WA yesterday and Mr Frog forgot, then he thought that was quite funny, then he fell asleep all afternoon so I walked the dog in the sunshine all by myself which made me feel totally crap and unloved. Then we had a row because he basically thinks I'm very needy and looking to be reassured all the time. Which is very true. So now I feel even more crap about myself.

I cleaned out he loft in the week, a job I've been wanting to do for years. It really upset me and knocked my mood. Anything does. I was looking at lots of old photos and letters. There are lots of memories up there. It was hard. I'm just a bit of an emotional wreck. Tadpole 2 and I burnt a load of stuff that I've been keeping for years. I honestly kept EVERYTHING that the tadpoles ever 'touched'. I kept EVERY drawing they ever did, everything they ever came home from school with. EVERY newsletter with their name on, every card they were given at Christmas and Birthdays. I kept the wrappers from their Easter Eggs and Advent Calendars. They are 17 and 18 so there were boxes and boxes of the stuff. I know it was total madness, but I couldn't bare to throw away their childhood. They've kept photos and school reports, and first shoes etc, but the rest has be burnt.

I think it all goes back years of unhappiness after things that happened as a tadpole myself, and I know I'm a nutcase. I wish I could change but I can't. I need therapy, and not of the food kind

I lost one of my dogs on the 7th July so I'm still really cheesed off about that, and so I've been consoling myself with food. As you do. Which obviously didn't work because now I'm a crap employee, a needy wife, in morning for my little dog and I'm fat, well, fatter than fat, really fat. So all is really great as you can see

I was going to get back on the wagon today but I've already had an unpleasant conversation on the phone with Mr Frog who is at work all day, so I've already started eating. I shall try and eat all the naughties in the house today, get some good stuff in for tomorrow and then I'll start a 4 week blitz tomorrow. there are still 4 weeks before I have to go back to work so I could really feel better by September but it is down to me I know.

I shall weigh myself in the morning, but it won't be good.

HO hum, such is life. Will be nice to hop on here every day. I'll come back on later because once TIE and Maman have read this, they'll do some straight talking, which will really help. They'll say 'pull youself together you silly old frog' and Beanie will say 'keep plodding, is all' in her Scottish accent, and Mildredd will just be friendly and supportive with kind words so all will be good in the pond again. I shall look forward to my sensible friends with their 'pep' talk and give myself a slap and knock the self pity away.

Croak to you all later....
