Still Time to Lose in 2024 with Slimming World.

Well done @Matron_Midge. 👏👏👏

I try to enjoy the extra syns at this time of the year. I know I'll be eating crisps and chocolates and extra cheese over Christmas so I'm sure to get in the ones I like best. Good luck with the coming week and try not to graze on goodies when you're not hungry just because they're there.

Shame about the gain @bubbs but you can afford it. I'm sure I've gained too, just haven't been to WI to find out. 🤣

It was salad and cold meats at the dance last night and I had fruit salad after. At home, that would have been virtually syn free but I had coleslaw and other bits. Not bothered as I didn't have wine syns so had plenty of spare. 

I've had a SW breakfast (fry up) and a small fridge hash as an early lunch. I'm mee DH in the city centre later a we're going for a meal before football starts at 7pm!! ☹️

Evening all, time has just run away from me today but it's nice to know it's concerning @bubbs!  Everything is fine.  DH is feeling a bit better today but still a bit giddy if he bends down.  Seems like the tablets are doing the job to a certain extent so that's good.

Glad the food was better last night @maman than the previous night.  Cold meat and salad followed by fruit salad is a good meal when it's being provided by others!

Definitely get a bit of rest @bubbs, you probably need it with all the rushing around you've been doing recently.  Shame about the gain even if you did expect it.

I've actually sent quite a bit of time in my craft room!  I cut out a top yesterday and made a start of it so today I've been in there and have got it into one piece!  I've probably only got about 2 hours left to work on it to get it finished.  There's a skirt pattern that goes with it so may well get on and make that as well as I've got enough fabric left to do it.  I may even wear it for Christmas - will make a change from trousers!  It will also be OK for our holiday.

Today's plan:

B - fry up - P; S; F; 1
L - burger, onions, gherkins  in soft pitta - HEB; S; 0.5
D - roast pork dinner - P; S; F; 1

HEA - milk
HEB - soft pitta
Syns - burger 0.5; apple sauce 1; 0% G&T 0.5

Hope everyone's had a good day.

Glad you are all ok Denise, you are in a sewing mood 😁 trouble now fabric and wool s bloomin expensive!! Glad DH is a bit better.

Dh's old boss popped round today, she says how are you little irritating s**t 🤣🤣 she said i really miss you, she said if i want something/want to know something concerning work, i think oh i'll ring hubby up and ask, then she goes oh i can't, you are missed. Nice to know he is missed .

I made doughnuts for pudding 😁 hexb

Morning all, just a quick one as have a busy day today!  Not likely to get any sewing done unfortunately as I'd have liked to have got the top finished.  I agree about the price of fabrics @bubbs but think I've got enough to last me out😂😂😂!  I've got a deep drawer and the bottom of a spare wardrobe although some of it I'm very unlikely to use now.  I got some wool fabric a while back really cheap in a charity shop but it's a very heavyweight one suitable for a coat and don't think I've got the patience to make a coat and I'm not even sure my sewing machine could cope with the thickness of it!

Taking my friend to an eye appointment at a hospital near Ashford today - it would probably take about 3 hours to get there by public transport so DH volunteered to take her.  Unfortunately it's at 1.40pm which means leaving home about 12.15 to get there in time so that she can actually find where she has to go when we get there so don't think we're going to get any proper lunch.

So today is going to be very awkward foodwise!  I'd only planned Weetabix for breakfast so think I'll actually have some fruit and yoghurt and break up the weetabix into it to make it a bit more filling than just having it with milk and will also save part of an HEA so win win!

No idea what we'll do about lunch but it will be whatever it is!  Tonight we're having the leftover lamb ragout with pasta from the freezer and no doubt we'll have more fruit and yoghurt!

Have a good day everyone.

Hello all! Two days off plan for Bambi’s birthday and hosting a party. The amount of junk I ate was not really planned 🙊. But I weighed myself this morning and not too much damage done. I’ve not lost yet this week but not gained either and if I good from now til Thursday I’ll hopefully get a small loss 🤞🏼.

Have a christmas concert at school this morning meaning I need to hang about for over an hour at school. Brought my work phone & laptop to work in the car and I’ve brought fruit and yoghurt in tubs for a healthy breakfast - just 1 syn for honey in the yoghurt.

Meant to say I won't be posting tomorrow as I'm up early and leaving home about 4.30am to catch a coach to Brugges Christmas market.  Don't expect to be on plan at all as doubt I'll get anything SW friendly there!  If we can find the cafe we went to last time we were there (probably about 5 years ago we'll have a Belgian stew and chips but I won't eat the chips because they're at the bottom of the dish and very soggy!).  There will definitely be a mulled wine or 2 though!

Morning all, RL getting in the way again 😁 well done on the losses, and all the skills you all have!  I’d love to be able to sew but think I peaked with a shoe bag about forty years ago (that probably should be 50 thinking about it!) 🙈

Visitors were dropped at the airport at 6am this morning. Not long back as I got stuck in roadworks and the morning commute.  Managed to nip into class on Saturday before a day in Edinburgh and was delighted with a wee half pound off.  More alcohol and nibbles than I planned was consumed over the weekend though.

Now have a relatively quietish week as far as food is concerned. Meeting up with a couple of friends to exchange presents but that should only involve coffee or baked potato lunch at most.

Today’s food:
B - raspberries, pineapple, Kvarg 0.5
L - tomato and red pepper soup, toasted soft pitta HEXB, may fill it with cold meat and salad for something more substantial
D - chilli salmon, sw roasties, roasted carrots, tomatoes, onions and peppers

Have a great time at the Christmas market @joedenise.  And have a great day everyone else 😁

Well done for 1/2 lb @Jellybaby, it all counts.
Have a great time at markets @joedenise.
@Bluegreen143 you did well to sts.
@bubbs food looks yummy as usual.
@maman cold meat and salad always top of my choices.

I have begun to write my Syns down at last, off plan but trying to get my head back in it for post NY.
Tedious admin today needed to cancel my bank card, O.K. have other cards, but lots of shuffling of money to be done and a few payees to be notified.
Pesky skammers.

Evening all 😁

Denise, have a lovely time tomorrow i love Brugee, love the chocolate more though 🤣🤣🤣

Jelly, nice to "see" you, well done on your loss 👏👏you made me laugh about the sewing, i used to hand sew for a living 8 1/2 hrs a day . 8 stitches to the inch we had to do 😏 was piecework as well but i loved it .

Well done Bluegreen, hopefully you will see a loss or maintain 🤞
