Thanks all,

Shala, you mean you get no help and you run the forum thread on your own steam? WOW

Beanie, great mantra, at least I didn't plagiarize it fully

Well I'm back! Week planned as promised.

Here's Monday's menu:

Breakfast: scrambled eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes
Lunch: out with friend
Dinner: cottage pie, mixed vegetables

Still have hexa and hexb to use, depending on lunch choices
Snacks(choose from): 2 garibaldi biscs (4 syns)/2 ginger snaps (5 syns)/1 chocolate digestive (4 syns)/3 mini babybel light + grapes


Came across this quote today and I think it's quite apt here.

"Striving for excellence motivates you, striving for perfection is demoralising."

I think I have a very similar lifestyle to you greentiger such that 'lunch out with friend' can feature heavily. Sometimes it's possible to be 'good' and have something like a JP or salad but mostly I find it's not:(. On days like this I'd probably use my syns on lunch and have none left for any biscuits or cheese or other syns. It's tough but really worth it IMO until you get to target then you can relax a little.


Feeling stuffed as usual on a Sunday evening. That's the downside of saving syns for weekends:(. But it's subsiding already. I have plans for a 100% day tomorrow and until my next 'blip' with a potential carvery on Tuesday night. Times like this I focus on 'doing a Beanie'. KEEP PLODDING!!!:D

Well done - have a nice holiday!

Not silly. Some sticks have that effect on people

A -1lb loss this week. Considering how not following the plan I have been, I'm not complaining.

Shala - Not sure if you mean new challenge today or next week, but a 7lb loss is the aim for me.

Good luck to everyone facing the scales today!

:Ton your pound swiper.


I'm not sure what's happening today. I have a plan but not sure what time DH will be here to eat so meals may be juggled around.


EE plan:
B: NAS Ribena, HEB toast, 2 boiled eggs, HEA milk for teas
L: cold pork, LO fried veg and pickles
sausage traybake (pepper, asparagus, courgette, onion, mushrooms, new potatoes)
Syns: sausages (2)

I've been to the Dr now there talking ovarian cyst and not ruling out being the gallbladder either. I've to go for an urgent pelvic scan hopefully sometime this week.


All my test show nothing sinister though so I am focusing on that.


Just wish someone would hurry up and decide what is actually wrong with me.


On the painkillers and in work. Don't get sick pay so being signed off is not currently an option


Fed up

Hugs Lantanna .Why don't you get sick pay?I thought everyone was entitled to that.

Hi..

Lauri - probably missed you but hope you enjoy your hols

Thanks Swiper - creative writing sounds fun, will definitely have a look at that site.. i quite like criminal psychology as well as forensics - i think in a past life i must have lived a life of crime :rotfl:

Sending you positive vibes lantanna - hope you get your scan asap!!

Had a massive change of plans yesterday and had a green day instead - made sweet potato falafels which i love but they give me a poorly tummy

Anyway so that leaves me back on a red day today with the pork stew thing i made yesterday...

B - banana, yogurt, granola (3)
L - chicken salad, strawberries
T - Somerset pork casserole, roasted new potatoes (heb) cabbage, carrots
S - crisps (4.5) milk (hea)

Will have the second HEa and B if i feel like it later, if not it doesn't really matter..
