    You're doing so well @MrsRyan. Sorry you had a bad day at work but screaming was so much better than comfort eating. 👏 Just keep thinking of how good you'll feel in your super outfits. 

    Good luck for WI. 🤞

    Wow! It's not often I'm the first to post.😀

    I'm shamelessly copying @bubbs today. I'm having a JP with tuna mayo for lunch and toad in the hole for dinner. I haven't made toad in the hole for years so I plan to just make up the Yorkshire pudding recipe (25g flour/4 syns shared) and hope for the best. 🤔

    Today's EE plan-
    B- HEB toast, HEA milk for drinks, scrambled eggs (P)
    L- JP (F), tuna (P), salad (S)
    D- toad in the hole, mash (F), cauli, broccoli, cabbages (S)
    Syns- LTL mayo 1, Aldi sausages 1, toad batter 2

    Morning all, went to WI this morning and it was 0.5lb on so at least I lost most of what I put on whilst on holiday but it was a bit odd on the scales because originally it showed 2.5lb lighter before jumping up making me 0.5lb on so who know what it should have been!  If it was 2.5lb light then I should have a good loss next week!

    I always use 50g flour when I make toad in the hole @maman so we have a decent about of batter and at the end of the day it's only a couple of extra syns!

    Today's plan:

    B - mushroom omelette - P; S
    L - tuna mayo and cucumber sandwich - HEB; P; S; 0.5
    D -avocado, prawns; hunters chicken, mash, green beans, peas - HEA2; P; S; F

    Will have a couple of alcohol free G&T this evening.

    HEA1 - milk
    HEA2 - mozarella
    HEB - bread
    Syns - LTL mayo 1 (half lunch; half starter tonight); 50g avocado 5; alcohol free gin 0.5

    Have a good day everyone.

    That's not too bad at all @joedenise and let's hope for a good loss next week. 🤞

    I seem to get plenty of Yorkshires (12 in a patty tin) from the 25g so I'll experiment and up it next time if necessary. It could be because my eggs are large or because I'm using up SR flour as I noticed one recipe that said add baking powder. I'm going to put some quartered red onions in the dish too. 🤔

    I've never had any success with SR flour.  I use an 8" square tin to do toad in the hole so perhaps that's why 50g of flour is better, I don't know!  Egg size varies depending on where I buy them!  Sometimes I buy medium, sometimes large or sometimes I just go for the mixed sized ones which seem to be mainly medium!

    Those waffles look yummy @bubbs. 😋

    Toad in the hole went down well. Just enough (no LOs ☹️) for the two of us as DH, unusually, had seconds. I'll definitely make it again. Good to have another dish on the menu as a change.
