    Morning all,

     

    Last nights tea turned into chilli, added baked beans instead of kidney beans as that’s all I had. Served with rice and a sprinkle of cheese. There are three portions left. I think tonight will be with a jacket potato

     

    B fruit and fibre ss milk

    L – flat bread, spinach, RF sour cream and chive dip, chicken tikka pieces

    D – LO chilli and BP

     

    Im on a spa day tomorrow and it includes an afternoon tea, no idea what is on it but I don’t care haha. It is what it is and a can have a low cal breakfast and a low cal dinner to compensate

    Definitely agree with that @milann.😁

    I ran out of red kidney beans last time I made chilli too @klew356.  I put in butter beans and mixed beans but it's not the same. There was a time when I could pick up red beans cheaply in places like Home Bargains so I used to stock up but now Aldi's is about the best value at their everyday price. Unless @bubbs knows different! 🤣

    It's a glorious day here @joedenise has definitely brought the good weather. 😁 Going out for a walk this afternoon so will get some Body Magic in. I've been a bit lazy lately as some dance classes have stopped for the summer break. 

    Today's EE plan-
    B- NAS grapefruit, skinny syrup, banana (F), HEB porridge, HEA milk, raspberries (S)
    L- veggie omelette (P,S) with beetroot (S)
    D- sausage casserole (P, S,F) with tagliatelle (F)
    Syns- Aldi sausages 1

    Maman funny you should say that about picking beans up cheaply. I needed 4 cans of black eyed beans which are usually on offer in Morrison’s either 3 or 4 for a pound….I had to pay 45p a can at weekend……really went against the grain 😏 Still a good value recipe though - Jamie Oliver’s pork with beans and tomatoes - - works out 1-2 syns depending on portion size 👍

    It’s the KTC I usually buy if I need beans of any sort….gutted at paying full price for the as they weren’t on offer 😳
    It makes sense to try some more carbs Bubbs - it might just kickstart things again. There’s the old wives tale about the metabolism going into survival and not letting you loose weight in case weight drops too much……not sure if there’s any truth it but it makes sense. 
    I went out for a meal today. I had a feta cheese salad with balsamic vinegar. Not sure how much cheese there was but looked about right for a hea. Will see what the damage is tomorrow 🤞I’ll be chuffed if it’s a STS 😃

    Milann the reason i don't have many is diabetes, don't want my sugar going up 🙄 if i lose i will monitor my sugar again, def not much rice as rice sends my sugars crazy 😱

    @maman it was roughly 40 minute trip there and took a lot longer on way back as the heavens opened and motorway crawled along at 20 mph, you could hardly see car in front of you even with lights on, never seen rain like it.

    @bubbs don’t be sorry, I’ll go back. I’m already thinking about what I should have bought🤣

    I did a water challenge last week and thoroughly sick of the sight of it but it was great exercise running up and down stairs to the loo!
