Did you get rid of the cakes Lois?
Not yet - they're still in the same place.
I've decided - I'm not going to eat any. Once my mind is made up I can resist anything including temptation.
The lads can have them tomorrow, although one of them could do with going to SW!

I did well yesterday and I'm planning to do well today! That informal WI at the surgery on Monday made me feel better knowing that despite a very social September I'm still in target range. GP's scales would be accurate wouldn't they???
Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit, kippers, HEB bread, HEA milk for drinks
L: JP with cottage cheese, spring onions and beetrootburger, fried onions, SW chips, tomato, mushrooms, green stuff (broccoli, mange tout, asparagus, peas).
Syns: scrape of spread, squirt of HP sauce, maybe chocolate
Just lately I've had a taste for ginger chocolate rather than the plain 70%. I assumed it would be higher syns as it tastes sweeter. Pleased that a bar is 6.5 compared with 7 for the plain. I have half a bar most evenings although it's a habit I should try and break.0 -
Ended up on 14 syns yesterday as had a glass of wine instead of the Ryvita & butter! Think my head is still in France, LOL!
Today's plan:
B - porridge made with water; strawberries & grapes
L - jacket potato; tuna mayo (1 syn for 2 Tbs LTL mayo); salad
D - duck casserole cooked in slow cooker (cooked yesterday just needs to be reheated today).
HEA - milk
HEB - porridge
Syns - mayo 1

Love ginger chocolate, which one do you have? We had a free one the other day I think it was lindt, gorgeous..
Talking of ginger, I must got to lidl soon to see if their Gingerbread is out for Xmas yet - and the marzipan bars :drool::o;)
Had a rubbish morning again at work, so chocolate has been eaten, not ginger though unfortunately.. had a word with the boss and I feel a bit better but still on the edge of tears boooo
How does everyone else cope with stress? Anyone got any tactics that don't involve face planting chocolate?

No contest between wine and Ryvita denise
My DD got me onto the ginger chocolate Shala . She had a mixed pack of Green and Black's and passed it onto me. Don't know how many syns in that. (ETA :same syns as Aldi but obviously much less mse but nicer as a treat IMO as less sweet. ) I bought Aldi's and it's 6.5 for a 25g bar.
For stress I'd recommend a walk or a bath or trash TV, definitely not comfort eating unless it's something free like a pile of SW chips! ��0 -
Me again. I'm sure you didn't want to know this but Lidl have some of their Christmas stock on sale. I bought DH some stollen bites and he says plenty of marzipan in them. Don't know syns, am trying to resist. 😃0
