Step into a lighter summer '23 with Slimming World.

That's excellent @bubbs! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Being back in target range is exactly what you want especially with you going away next weekend. 

My DD has been to the Black Country museum and said it's excellent. We've been to Blists Hill near Telford/Ironbridge which, I think, is similar. I'm sure you'll have a good time. 

I'm off to do my shop this afternoon, unusual for me on a Saturday so hope they have everything I need in stock. I had a small JP with prawns last night when I got peckish. So a couple of syns for the mayo and a fishy day all round!  🤣

Today's EE plan- 
B- HEB toast, scrambled eggs (P), HEA milk for drinks
L- LO chicken casserole and veg (P, F,S)
D- chicken curry (P,S), HM pilau rice (F)
Syns- weekend wine and might have a tbsp of mango chutney 2?

Well done @bubbs

Today have been to my parents, done some weeding in the garden, been food shopping at Mr T's early this morning.

Am now relaxing a bit and thinking about what to have for tea. 

I want to sit and read my book, but I know I will get disturbed. 

My new air fryer from Lakeland arrived today - I have ordered some liners for the drawers from Amazon and they should be coming tomorrow.  Will let you know how I get on. 

Speak soon xx

Well done @Abbafan1972, @maddiemay and @bubbs xx

We very much enjoyed our curry out last night and I may just have consumed half a bottle of white wine and 2 rum and diet cokes. Result was a sore head this morning and still felt tipsy oops. Had such a laugh though. Walked to group and did the pay but didn't weigh. Will have to next week though.

Met a friend for lunch today and had smashed avocado on sour dough toast with poached egg, diet coke and mint tea. Then met 2 neighbours for tea and cake. TBF the lunch was tiny (and cost £20) so I felt the cake was needed. DH cooked chilli and lime salmon for tea with asparagus and tender stem broccoli. Back on plan for me from tomorrow. Need to food shop and have no clue what's in the freezer so off to do a list now!

Have a good evening all
Coxy

Thanks all

Boo hoo Jelly, yes YOU will get that stone off

Maman heard so many good reports about it that's why we want to go and going to loo up what's near there.

Just back well about 90 mins ago from seeing Dad, my sister said yesterday he was a bit confused, she was right he is, but he keeps saying about going home , yesterday it was today, today it's tomorrow, we said no 2 more sleeps then after lunch on Monday. Oh he says so 2 more sleeps? Yes, half hr later i'm going home tomorrow, rinse and repeat 😂
He should not have been told till the day before but it was the care team that told him last Monday 🙄

I said to Mum are you sure you will cope? she don't know but he is too well to be here , i think once we are back in a routine, she has been on her own which she had to get used to for 5 months, i said you must ask for hep if you feel you can't cope.

Food today
Banana at group

Hexb soft pitta, bacon, egg and overload of mushrooms a tomato

HM Chips, couldn't get a BNS  and beef and mushroom 12.5 syns from chinese 😋😋

maman

Glad to hear the Chinese was open today @bubbs! 🤣

You'll just have to take it as it comes with your dad when he gets home. Is there a care package in place or is your mum on her own? 🤔

I think you deserved a few treats after your hike @Coxy11. Being able to do that is one (of the many) bonuses of being at target. What mattters is getting back on plan afterwards. You've made a great start with tonight's dinner and when you do your shop for the healthy food you'll be back. 👍

@Jellybaby. Keep plodding!!

bubbs

Maman , no, all she was offered was someone to give Dad his tablets 4 times a day, well he only has them twice a day and she has always done them 🤔

District nurse is supposed to be coming once a week because of catheter 

maddiemay

Well done @bubbs, @Jellybaby, hang on in there, it is so frustrating though.
@Abbafan1972 enjoy the new air fryer, they can be so versatile, I have only used my oven twice in a year (only 2 of us to cater for though)
@Coxy11 your treats were well deserved.
@maman I am feeling much better today, got the Syns down to 15 today, no gain showing on my scales today, but that could well change by Tuesday evening.

Warm and sunny this afternoon, had quite a good session in my large and somewhat neglected garden, the after effects of Covid 19 and the death of my DM meant I had really lost my gardening mojo, but felt really happy out there today, please may we all have some warm sunny weather, feels so overdue.

Morning all, 

Not commented for a few days now. Well done to all the losers and maintainers!

Managed to get out for a run today, only one this week but managed to get my 2 mile run under 25 minutes finally! 

Not sure what we are eating today yet? Perhaps foolishly volunteered to do a car boot today so my DD can go out with her boyfriend, Its helping to fund her travel vaccines, but I'll only end up having to pay for them anyway so may as well try and make a little extra along the way. 

Very late Breakfast of my normal baked oats, so will be snacking on fruit whilst out.

Have some pork fillet in the fridge so might try and pull together a korean style poke bowl with jasmine rice later...
