I had that blood test when pregnant. This was a much worse drink, although my memory could be being selective. This was a nutrient drink.

Oh mine was pure glucose:eek:

I hate my clothes at the moment. I'm at that awkward between sizes phase where the current jeans are hanging off looking like a tramp and but the smaller ones are in danger of popping the zip if I'm caught out by a surprise sneeze.
I'm thinking of changing to dresses with leggings, is that still a thing? I've never been into fashion but like the idea as it might be easier to shop for and alter as I don't really want to have to keep buying clothes that hopefully won't fit for too long.

Didn't fancy cooking tonight so thought I'd have the tin of lidl soup that's been lurking in the cupboard. Have to say it was much nicer than than the big brand but feel a bit miffed that it was 12 syns for the tin + the 16 syns for 2 slices of toast and smidge of butter which makes it work out more than a takeaway. I understand the sugars in it and not a third speed blah blah blah but I seriously doubt a tin of soup is going to do more damage than a chinese so I'm not going to count it. I've got my stroppy head on!

I live in leggings and jumpers . Haven't even got any skirts or dresses . Even work uniform is trousers and top with tabard. I am a kitchen assistant ibn school. That was reason for starting SW my work trousers size 18 wouldn't fasten I needed a 20 :eek:

Started SW week before long 6 weeks hols when went back work my 18s fitted. I am now wearing size 16

Evening all
Had a steroid jab in my shoulder today. The dam thing hurts more now than it did before yesterday wore me out I think- took it easy today. I’m going away tomorrow so trying to conserve energy (and cash ) for then. I have a carefully planned shopping trip- I need vests, leggings, more jeans and underwear. I cleared out about 90% of my t-shirts yesterday- the result was empty drawers but of the remaining 10-12 of them at least they all fit. I’ve also got rid of the majority of my remaining size 22 jeans although it was embarrassing when I went to the docs this morning- I had a pair of size 22 jeggings on (I love them so refuse to get rid of them but they’re miles too big ) with a pair of leggings underneath and the doctor said to me ‘how many layers do you need, it’s not that cold’ had to explain I’ve lost 2 stone 3.5lbs and so my clothes don’t fit me :

Today’s menu (SP day 2)
B: HEXB HiFi bars, 2 apples, decaf coffee with part HEXA s/s
L: Speedy ‘Heinz’ soup, HEXB wholemeal roll, 1 syn for spread. Arla Protein strawberry quark (1.5) with a Bournville Highlights (2) and fresh rasps, HEXA 500ml Alpro coconut Original drink
T: Oriental salmon, butternut squash chips, green beans, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli (2 syns for oil) Fab lolly (4 syns) Vimto Zero fizzy
S: Chicken (no skin) with a bit of salad. Quavers (4.5) Highlights Bournville (2)
Syns: 16
Sorry to hear your news Kathrynha. Take care of you xx
Love to you all xxx

I had a steroid injection years ago and it really did the trick.

Must have felt good telling your GP about the weight loss.

OK I have a trip to the Trafford Centre planned as MRM needs shave cream and I want face wipes from Boots. More importantly, the Xmas drinks are released at Starbucks and I need a Gingerbread latte. My consultant posted on our FB page the syn values in the Festive drinks. It's 13 Syns for a Gingerbread Latte tall. Now I actually don't like Latte as I drink my coffee normally black so usually opt for a skinny cappuccino with the gingerbread syrup added. Looking on the SW App a tall skinny cappuccino is 3.5 Syns and a shot of syrup is 1 syn. If they have the sugar free syrup it's free. Have I found a hack?

I may also have lunch there and have my options listed (in order of preference that I like) Pret A Manger, Nando's, Spud U like, Subway. I really like Barburrito when I go there but can't find any Syn values.

For tea tonight I'm making Lamb Rogan Josh from Pinch of Nom.

Spent time planning meals for the week last night so will also food shop today.

kathrynha

Sounds like you have a good plan for dealing with the Trafford Centre Valm.

My plan for today:
Breakfast in bed - porridge and fruit
Lunch - HM soup that was in the freezer
Dinner - HM chilli that was in the freezer

HA - milk and cheese
HB - oats
Syns - there will definitely be some

I am resting as I've been told. Just glad as I have meals in the freezer.

D curry made with sw chip shop curry sauce. In it is chicken, onion, mushroom, peas served with rice

Hoping for another good day!

Evening all.

Posting menus is really making me think about what I'm doing so I think I'll carry on. I've also weighed/measured again which I haven't done for a while. Beef stew done in the slow cooker tomorrow, not sure about lunch yet.

Enjoy the weekend all and have a great holiday Maman. DD2 went to Krakow early this year and loved it.
