Morning all,
We had a good time with our friends last night - just the 4 of us. I took some A!di NAS flavoured sparkling water which was a nice alternative to Pep$i max and less caffeine to keep me awake! We took a couple of bags of crisps, and I did have some, but I'm not going to stress over it.
I just had some fruit for breakfast, will have toast in a bit. We are going to BIL's this afternoon for a BBQ. I will be driving so will just need to keep a check on food. Hoping they will have the football on!
Food today:
B - cherries, kiwi, 2 WM toast with 2 tsp jam - HEB, 1
L - BBQ - who knows what?!
D - depends on lunch - maybe just some fruit
HEA - milk
Syns - ?
Have a good day all,
Coxy

Hope your BIL has some SW friendly food at the BBQ @Coxy11. Maybe some chicken and plenty of salad. My first consultant used to take her own sausages or burgers to a BBQ but I'd feel a bit awkward about that. When I eat at someone else's home, I just hope for the best. π€πΌ
Yes, definitely 2 x HEAs if you want them @Vegastare. I think it's the best thing that SW have done.π I don't have the second one every day but I have introduced more cheese into recipes as I'd virtually banned it before.Β
I just picked at some cold chicken yesterday evening as was still full.Β Probably had too many wine syns through the day though as I don't usually start at lunchtime. ππ€£
Today's EE plan-
B- HEB toast, HEA milk for drinks, fried eggs (P), tomatoes and mushrooms (S)
L- JP (F), prawns (P), salad bits (S)
D- Hairy Biker's braised steak (P,S), SW roast potatoes (F), carrots, swede, cabbages, cauli, broccoli
Syns- weekend wineπ0 -

Afternoon all, been down to friend's again this morning! Β DH has been putting up curtain poles, curtains and blinds - he's knackered! Β We've been down every day doing bits and pieces to help.
What else did you have yesterday that was syns @bubbs? Β Looking at your pictures there doesn't seem to be syns in your meals! Β 11 syns isn't over for the day - that's well within what you're allowed.
Today's plan:
B - fry up with sausages - P; S; F; 2
L - burger and onions in roll with sliced gherkins - HEB; S; 0.5
D - gammon, potatoes, onions, carrots (done in the PC), green veg - P; S; F
HEA - milk
HEB - WM roll
Syns - sausages 2; burger 0.5
Going to collect a Too Good To Go bag from Morries this afternoon - wonder what SW friendly stuff will be in it today! Β There's usually plenty of bread products for DH to keep his going for a while. Β I'm hoping there will be lots of fruit and veg as well!
Hope you're all having a good day.0 -
Oh it's behaving now.
But like dadπ just rang up and he answered the phone, something he never does! I said are you behaving? π He said yes π
When mum came on the phone I asked her and she said yes he has been alot better since I spoke to him about it on Friday π€it carries onΒ
