Lose Lockdown Lard with Slimming World.

maman

Well done on your loss @joedenise. You'll soon be back in range. 👏👏👏

Hope you do manage to swerve the Chinese @Gettingtherequickly, although @bubbs chooses some quite low syn dishes so don't despair if it's the general consensus, just choose wisely.

We'll have KFC tomorrow as I've eaten enough for today. I had bruschetta followed by lamb shank for lunch. It was delicious but hard to tell the syns.

Is it still your shoulder you're taking pain killers for @joedenise. That's been lingering on for weeks. ☹️

bubbs

GTQ you can have a chinese and be in syns, chicken and cashew nuts is 14 , chicken and mushroom 91/2 , beef and mushroom 8 1/2, boiled rice free, i have swapped from picky tea to chinese and i make BNS chips so speed with it 

bubbs

Breakfast, lunch and tea, even had lunch in the tub save washing up 🤣

Yes maman, the painkillers are for my shoulder - it's nearly 7 weeks now since I slid down that flight of stairs on the ferry!  I've got an appointment for physio tomorrow.  Think they must have had a cancellation as she told me that if I hadn't accepted it then the next available appointment wouldn't be until September - and that's with going private!  Goodness only knows how long it would be with NHS.

Still waiting to hear about an appointment with consultant/soft tissue scan - Dr's secretary rang yesterday to say that she was about to fax off the referral to Beneden and also to NHS so wait and see how quickly I get that appointment.  Hopefully will hear early next week from Beneden as they say allow up to 5 days to hear from them.

I love lamb shank.  It's something I often choose when we eat out.  The Iceland frozen ones are quite good value and low syn and we have those from time to time but having said that we've not had them for quite a long time.  Really must buy some more as don't have any in the freezer.

No KFC here this week as had chicken yesterday and I had butter chicken at lunchtime; still feeling full up so decided against eating the beef in black bean sauce for dinner.  DH had a roast dinner followed by crumble and custard for lunch so he had the butter chicken which was left with a jacket for dinner tonight.  We'll eat the beef in black bean sauce for dinner tomorrow instead.

I've had lamb shank in this restaurant before and it's delicious and they serve it with mash and fresh broccoli and carrots so a balanced meal. It's hard to know about syns as gravy can be variable but 🤞it's low.

Hope you get some exercises to do at home from the physio so that you can move things forward. 

joedenise

I've already got a couple of exercises which the physio emailed to me after the telephone triage.  One of them I can do easily but the other one is really painful so I'm not sure whether I'm making it worse doing it!  I hope not.  I'm sure I'll be given some exercises to do at home between sessions.

The telephone triage guy said he'd authorise 4 sessions to start with the possibility of another 2 if necessary - that's the maximum Beneden will pay for but I'm sure it will be enough.

There's a pub we've been to a couple of times where they used to allow motorhomes to stay overnight but unfortunately they're not allowing it at the moment where I had lamb shank the last time we went there and it was so big I had a doggy bag to take away and there was enough meat on it for DH and I to have the next night reheated in some gravy with mash and veg - it must have been an extremely large lamb, LOL!  Think I might give them a ring soon to find out if they are accepting motorhomes overnight yet and go there for another meal!

Well done Bubbs, you must be flying high💃💃.

Walk cancelled, usually do it with my aunt, but uncle was rushed into hospital so that more important, thought it was pancreatitis, turns out to be gall stones. However, we are going to meet for Chinese lunch😱 hopefully will easily reverse any damage as will not need to eat anything substantial this evening, will just eat a load of salad.

joedenise

Woohoo bubbs!  2lb off is brilliant and well deserved.  Did the SAS log pick anything up other than not eating enough Free foods?

Sorry to hear about your uncle GTQ but as you say far more important than going for a walk with your aunt.  Enjoy your Chinese meal.  As bubbs said yesterday there are quite few things you can eat within syns.  Just having plain boiled rice rather than special fried rice saves loads of syns!

Bedding in the washing machine at the moment; want to try and get that out on the line before going for physio at lunchtime - why are appointments always lunchtime, lol!

Today's plan:

B - fry up - bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomato, beans - P; S; F
L - tuna and cucumber sandwich - HEB; P; S; 1
D - beef in black bean sauce; noodles (which we didn't have last night as I was full from lunch) - P; S; F; 1.5

HEA - milk
HEB - bread
Syns - LTL mayo 1; black bean sauce 1.5

Have a good day everyone.

Thanks GTQ and Denise,

GTQ, hope your Uncle is ok 

She didn't have time to look think there were 9 new starters this week, has been loads the last few weeks, but i will message her in a couple of days, i bought some more home with me.

Also i think it was taking the pressure off knowing i was calling target for now which i have done, won't have to pay either 🤣🤣does feel like have wasted about £60!!

Hope you get bedding dry before the rain, it's already started here and forecast is pants for the weekend:(
