A new me in 2023 with Slimming World!

joedenise

Morning all, have woken up to a really bright sunny day.

We got here around lunchtime yesterday to an extremely muddy field where the farmer insisted on towing everyone on so ended up sitting in a queue while he had his lunch so we did the same!  Just needed to warm the pittas and stuff them with falafels and salad, very nice they were too.

Definitely well over syns yesterday but never mind I’m on holiday and not back to group until mid July!  Apparently as I’m at target I can’t book holiday so means I’m going to lose access to website and app after 8 weeks.  May have to ask for syn values of anything I don’t have regularly.

The home for your dad sounds lovely @bubbs.  I doubt he’ll say he doesn’t want to go home.

Going to try better to keep the syns low today!  I certainly need to.

Today’s plan:

B - porridge HEB
L- sweet chilli noodles with chopped salady bits or we might eat out!
D - braised beef and veg, mash - P; S; F

HEA - milk
HEB - oats
Syns - sweet chilli sauce 3? Or if out no idea!

Have a good day.

Morning all,

Glad you arrived safely @joedenise x I didn't know that about not being able to book holiday weeks once at target.

I ate really badly yesterday, I mean REALLY BADLY. I had a couple of ginger biscuits for breakfast as was feeling a bit anxious then went out at lunchtime to buy saladings and fruit and had a jar of pickled mussels and a pot of pineapple chunks for my lunch! HXB midway through the afternoon then had the pork and apple burgers for tea with sweet potato fries and salad (no bun).

I get like this when I'm anxious. Just eat any old rubbish - which is ridiculous because it makes me feel even worse. I'm anxious about meeting DIL2B Dad and his wife today (they live in the US), I'm anxious about my hike which starts tomorrow and now anxious about DS2 who's GF finished with him yesterday. He is heartbroken and I'm worried about leaving him. He's here for a few weeks uni break and DH is here but it's not the same as having your Mum around. In case anyone thinks I'm being irrational, this very much stems from losing my nephew and I'm welling up just typing this

Sorry to bring the thread down. Hope you all have a lovely BH weekend. I will try to update from Scotland/Cumbria whilst I'm away xx

Sorry to hear you're feeling anxious @Coxy11. It will pass. Awful timing for poor DS but he'll be fine with his dad. I'm sure you'll feel a lot more confident meeting the prospective in-laws now you've got to target than you might have before. I'm full of admiration for your walk,  the exercise, the reason behind it and the support you're giving your sister. You should be proud of what you've achieved.🤗 

Although not proper meals during the day, your food yesterday really wasn't that bad.  Of course, can't recommend ginger biscuits for breakfast but lunch was free food so not that many syns overall.

Glad you arrived safely @joedenise. I suppose the farmer found it easier to tow everyone across the mud than risk having to rescue vehicles. Forecast is good until Monday. 😁 I know you'll make wise choices when you can so just enjoy yourself and sort it later. 

Hope you've drawn that line @beanieloualthough nice to see your DS even if he is a bad influence. 🤣

It's good to hear positive reports about the home @bubbs and you'll get to see for yourself today. 

Today's EE plan-
B- HEB toast, HEA milk for drinks, fried eggs and bacon (P)
L- beef and vegetable soup (P,S,F)
D- baked salmon (P), SW chips (F), broccoli, roast veg (S)
Syns- weekend wine😊

Evening all

I never woke up today till 9.10!! not like me at all 😱

Denise have a fab break , my sister couldn't go away along with another 80 as where there van is stored the ground was too muddy to pull any vans out 😥😥 she was so annoyed , this is in Cambridge.
Hence i never saw Dad today as she thought i was going this morning i said no this afternoon, she said i was ringing to see how he was before she went this afternoon, so she said i won't go as don't want to take your place, i said no go as i am going tomorrow anyway. She rang after and said he is really happy, they sat out in the garden.

Coxy, hope you are feeling a bit better 🥰

Over syns again.  Ooops.

Sure all will be fine @Coxy11.away.  Hope meeting goes well & your trip .

maman

You know how to live @beanielou! Perhaps tomorrow is the day for drawing that line? 🤔🤣

It's worked out really well that the sun is shining and your dad can get out in the garden @bubbs. No wonder he's happy after being in the hospital so long.😁

You're a brilliant sleeper! 😁

beanielou

Tomorrow is fine @maman but then out for tea with a friend on Sunday!
Back on track after that 

bubbs

Well Maman perhaps because i am usually up at 5.15 mon-fri and 6.30 sat normally i was knackered!

Yes Dad likes the garden, he has asked for Mum to bring a sun hat 🥰

Just enjoy yourself when you can Beanie, on plan rest of the time 😁
