Morning!  Another night of little sleep so sitting here shattered and have a full day of work ahead 

Out for lunch today and it's a new tapas restaurant we're trying.  Will try and work out syns later but really looking forward to it as I've not seen my friend 'in person' for a while.

Today's food:
B - f/f Greek yoghurt, strawberries, nectarines, raspberries
L - out
D - leftover chicken, huge salad (minimal syns if I have some dressing)

Have a good day all.

Now fully caught up as viewing thread on phone makes my eyes screwy!

Hope the motorhome can be fixed @joedenise fingers crossed

Well done on your loss @bubbs. That's terrible that a visitor should make such remarks. We have a lady who brings her two children to group. The boy is particularly hyper and she is constantly telling him to behave. They've just moved in with her parents due to a relationship breakup, so she's dealing with a lot plus working full time. We have been trying to suggest ways of keeping on plan - batch cooking, packed lunch ideas etc. which she is grateful for. That's the point of group - support and ideas to keep you going, not criticising someone if they are struggling!

And OMG to a member of ST having to cover groups! Our stand in consultant is now off for 2 weeks so lord know who we will get!

Enjoy the tapas @Jellybaby x

I have 3 weeks to my holiday @ruby_eskimo so now back on it after 2 weeks of indulgence!

Lunch was fab and I love tapas but oh dear I could have eaten three times the amount of food we ordered   On the plus side I won't fall asleep this afternoon! I did have a few (huge homemade) chips and there was oil over grilled veggies but other than that not too bad.  Would definitely go back.

Evening all

Thanks Ruby and Coxy, hope it continues.

I know we was gob smacked the said woman has since posted on fb page and said it was taken in the wrong context. Apparently she just joined our group and now feels like she cannot come back. I said we was just sticking up from said person as we know the struggles she has had and see her Saturday ,if she come back we will see!

Well done Beanie 👏👏

Morning all,

I cooked a bolognaise bake last night and used up half a red pepper, some mushrooms, carrot plus usual passata, onion and garlic. It was nice and have 2 portions frozen for taking into the office over the coming weeks yay!

I went for a walk after dinner last night. I've found I rarely leave the house when I WFH unless I need to nip to Ts or have the cinema booked (5 min/10 min walk respectively). I did a 3km route that I used to run. Didn't take headphones, just walked and breathed and said Hi to those I met along the way (which was mainly dog walkers and older folk). Made the decision that I need to get back to early morning running. Lost my mojo after our failed JoGLE attempt and have only been a couple of times since August (according to my app). Ended up going to bed at 9.30pm as was so tired but hurrah - got up at 6am and ran just shy of 3km. Will go again on Thursday and hopefully make it a more regular habit.

Have to drop DS2 at school for 1.45pm for his last Maths A level exam. One more to go...

Food today:
B - Blueberry puffed wheat, mullerlight yoghurt, blueberries - HEB, 0.5, S
L - pineapple, strawberries, poached egg, grilled bacon, LM red onion and rosemary sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms - P, S
D - SW chicken, potato and kale bake - P, S
HEA - milk
HEA - mini babybel light
Syns - 0.5 plus hi fi bar 3 = 3.5 total

Have a good day all,
Coxy

Afternoon everyone,

Bah just typed a message and it dissappeared.   Anyway was saying that if I WFH (which is most of the time) I tend not to leave the house either @Coxy11 and really need to make more of an effort to get out for walks more.  

Today's food:
B - f/f Greek yoghurt, nectarines, strawberries and mango (this was lush! got nectarines in M & S - £1 for 6 large ones)
L - tuna salad, 2 syns for salad cream
D - salt and pepper chicken with rice and extra roasted peppers, mushrooms and tomato on the side (DS cooking and using a packet mix up, 2 syns for my share)

Have a good day!

Well done Coxy.

Dinner was not a success! Not what we expected at all but that’s the packet used up and we ate most of it 🙈 so not to waste anything and thank goodness for the extra veg!  Might need tea and toast later 🤣
