    Good work, Cheese, june and musogirl.

    “Determined to rein in syns.”
    I changed to celeriac soup rather than the planned celeriac & apple version as I realised I’d have to syn the apples! Every little helps.

    Sunday’s Plan
    Breakfast; bacon, beans, tomatoes & mushrooms
    Lunch: prawns, lettuce, mayo (1) in a mission deli wrap (5), fruit
    Dinner: roro sausages, cauliflower, hexa cheese, veg
    Snacks: wine gums for footie if it’s not snowed off (4), kiwi, hexb - probably toast

    Good luck all.

    We're having our family "Christmas" today as we were away for the real one in December!

    B - mushroom omelette; baked beans
    L - HM pulled pork; HM bbq sauce; WM roll; salad; fruit roulade
    D - not sure but probably LO pulled pork & salad

    Just looked at that and looks like it could be an SP day so extra HEB to have this evening if needed.

    HEA will be 1% milk
    2nd HEB if needed will be a couple of Hifi Rocky Road.

    Still energised by finally having lost a few more pounds rather than seesawing for the last month. Having family over for lunch so have large potatoes simmering in their skins ready to cool and skin for SW roasties . The hanger steak from butcher has been seared and is in the oven with stock , white wine vinegar, herbs and onions and mushrooms. I have matchstick carrots, mange tout, broccoli and peas to cook later.

    Breakfast Coffee and fruit

    Lunch Steak with mushrooms,onions and lots of green

    veg and carrots with SW roast potatoes.

    Dinner Stir fry with chicken.

    Snacks (if any, will be fruit or ML or mugshot)

    Wooligan 2 squares for smoky - 3 squares for HTA

    Have a bit of snow down here overnight. Maybe 1cm, so enough to settle but I doubt it'll stick. Not a massive snow fan either, although I do like how pretty it looks when it's freshly fallen.

    Today's meal plan.
    Breakfast - Porridge (always make with water) with fruit and a latte (1/2 A, B)
    Lunch - Fry up
    Dinner - Beef stew

    Will probably use the rest of my milk in another latte or hot chocolate later, am really enjoying them. Syns for snacks, as usual.

    Hi all,

    Good losses still coming through :T:T

    Lantanna, so sorry meant to ask, do the redundancies affect you or are you ok? not a nice situation to be in xx

    New me - I watched the Trust me i'm a Doctor programme, the eating window bit was really interesting, but i'm shocked at the sacharrin findings and raised blood sugar levels :eek:

    It started me on a bit of a research mission about insulin/blood sugars. Found a good book by Michael Moseley (he of the Fast Diet) that explains it all pretty well and whilst i'm not diabetic/pre-diabetic my scores show i'm heading that way :( so less of the refined carbs/sugar/sweetners for me and more of the healthy foodstuff. :( I miss chips already ;)
    Just a quick note: we still have a Facebook group so if you would like adding just sent me a PM with the email address you use for Facebook and I will send the invites out :)

    I've added this back on to the first post :D sorry I took it off but you and mim weren't around and I don't know who else is in the group!
    Mortgage amount at 31/12/2011 £166,050 now £0 as at Sept 21 - 15yrs 4 months early.
