Hi @bubbs I am in North Birmingham. 

Snow has pretty much gone now but it’s still very cold.

@maman - that starter looked really good.  Glad you enjoyed your meal out - nothing worse than not enjoying your syns!

Glad to say the bed is finally heating up and we've covered it with it's quilted mattress cover, sheet and a couple of spare duvets.  With a bit of luck we'll be able to sleep on it Monday night, if not Tuesday.  Can't wait - so fed up with a hard mattress!

Sorry about the gain @bubbs I'd be tempted to just have a bit of what you fancy and surprise your body and metabolism, might just give you a kick-start.

I put on my big girl pants today and braved Parkrun all by myself, it was cold and too wet underfoot for my liking but I did my best and pushed myself. I thought I was close to a personal best but 12 seconds off, I'm blaming that on the wet conditions. I did have a win in that I wasn't last for the first time ever and probably life! 

Food today 

Pre Parkrun: skinny crunch 3syns
Breakfast: Blueberry baked oats 1 syn

Lunch: out at Itsu Teriyaki Chicken rice bowl - no idea on syns but don't think it'll be too high fingers crossed. Had a good lot of edamame beans 

Dinner: Rump Steak, SW chips, peas and a giant field mushroom. Keeping it classy with ketchup 1 syn

Oh I have also heard that Subway offer 20% off for SW members on their salad bowls.

@annabanana82 - the Itsu Teriyaki Chicken rice bowl kit is 5.5 syns so doubt it would be much whilst eating out - maybe add a few syns for some oil.  I'm sure your well within syns for the day with only having 5 other syns.

Well done Jelly

Thanks everyone, was so hungey today i ended up having three chocolate galaxy cookies 16.5 syns 😂😂 then i had a nap and felt better for it, thin it's because its been a long week with DH working till 6 we were both knackered , it's a long day from being up at 5.15 and sitting down at 6.15 everyday then getting tea.

Had beef and mushroom 12.5 syns and bns chips for tea.

Maman, we don't now what upsets him, tried not having pizza, tried not having onion rings . Your food looks lovely 😋😋

That's why I don't understand why cooking fruit (even if it's just heating up pineapple or blueberries ) adds syns but cooking veg is OK. 🤔

No idea, they always say filling power but you could eat a whole bowl of them beans for a snack and not considered a tweak 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

It is odd though. I can understand why stewed apple or fruit juice would fit the 'filling power' argument as you could eat a lot more than whole and isn't using the same energy to digest. But you could cook and mash carrots and it doesn't apply. Perhaps it's to do with fruit sugar? 🤔 I wish they'd train consultants to explain properly.
