Morning all, hope you had a wonderful weekend.

I was at a wedding. Stepped on the scales this morning and put on 3 which wipes out any progress I had made:eek:. Back on it today, my dress fitting is on Nov 7th so need to up my game. I joined the gym last week and went to a step class, OH and I played squash yesterday and I'm booked in to a body pump class tonight.

I will see how I get on in the week, i may change my weigh in day

What a lovely weekend we had weatherwise (apart from Sat morning when it was rather misty). Today is looking really grey and windy - don't think I'll bother doing any washing in the next couple of days!

Had far too many syns at the weekend (and not all alcohol either!) meaning I haven't got any left for today until Wednesday so I'll have to get a bit creative in the kitchen to include some flavour in my meals so I don't miss the syns.

Today will be a Green day (mainly because DH took the LO sweet chilli prawn noodles which I was going to have and so have changed today's plan!)

B - mushroom omlette; fruit
L - HM mixed bean goulash (from freezer); rice (which I need to cook)
D - 70g cooked chicken (HEB1); mash, brocolli, chard (from garden)

HEA will be milk
HEB2 will be a Warburtons WM thin

Morning all :-)

How'd the marathon go Spinkz - did you make it in one piece - hope the weather was nice to you :-)

Had a mixed weekend. Was good on Sat and thought I'd done much better on the S foods as had a fruit & yog for b'fast - until realised kiwi and grapes aren't S - will get there next time....!!!! Rest of day went well and came it at 14.5 Syns :-)

Sunday was a dif matter altogether - we went to London for a concert and a meal (as OH's b'day and he likes his classical music) - had Weetabix for b/fast and then the most delish lunch (sea bass on avocado with tortellini and samphire plus some other bits, including the odd flower or two - WOW! followed by stunning choc torte with blood orange sorbet -oh heaven) - knew it was going to be a flexible syns day, but don't even want to contemplate what it all came in at...but boy was it good.

So (hopefully) back on track again today....JP for lunch and Bacon/Mush pasta tonight!

i imagine there was lots of butter, cream and alochol added to the one in France :eek: that'll make anything taste good!

I did mine in the slow cooker, i think i did it on slow for 4-6 hours.. the gravy doesn't thicken as much though so you may have to take some out and simmer it separately to thicken.

Well as i was writing up my menu plan for today i realised it would be better as a red day than an EE .. so 2 hea's and b's..

B - Strawberries, yogurt, choc shot (0.5) granola (heb)
L - chicken, lots of pickles, cheese (hea) wholemeal roll (heb)
T - pizza frittata (peppers, onions, cheese (0.5 hea), salad, pickles
S - crisps (6) milk in tea (0.5hea) apple

have a good day.. x

Morning all :wave:

Very happy to report in with the result of my weigh in this week, and after a weekend away and not being in full control of meals, I've managed to lose 2lb.:j I am so pleased, writing everything down is beginning to work.

Food at the weekend turned out to be SW friendly, we had a meal out in a pub with DS on Saturday night and I chose a fish dish that came with mashed potatoes and speed veg, there was some sauce but it was minimal, so probably only a few syns. I did have wine syns though. We ate at a Harvester before returning last night and I went for a 6oz rump steak with a plain jacket potato and peas, and I had all the free food from the salad bar, and a fruit salad with yogurt for dessert, so lots more speed food there. No alcohol last night as we had a 4 hour drive back, we got home at 1am so DH and I are both a bit bleary eyed today. This afternoon will be a quiet one, a bit of shopping and then feet up in front of the telly, catching up with Strictly!

I didn't have time to read any posts over the weekend so I've got a bit of catching up to do.

Back later, have a good week everyone.
