    I hadn’t either @beanielou and I was very nervous. TBH mine was very generic - what 50+ woman isn’t stressed with hormone issues!? 

    Annoying about the slippers @joedenise - don’t blame you for returning the whole lot. Thanks for checking pomegranate seeds for me, good to know 😊

    I’ve been in the garden this morning tidying some of the beds that edge the house. I cut back, weeded and mulched, and was joined by a little robin. Will take a walk to the local Co-op in a bit as our lane is shut due to a water leak, so I’ll go cross country!!

    Food today:
    B - apple, cheese and ham omelette - S, P, HEA
    L - freezer surprise - think it’s beef ragu or chilli - will grab some salad at the shop, water melon - free, S
    D - grilled salmon, rice, green veg - P, free, S
    HEA - milk
    HEB - toasted protein bagel with scraping of light soft cheese
    Syns - rice cakes x 2 - 3

    Thanks @bubbs. Good luck with getting a gain tomorrow. 🤣 and hope you have a loss @Jellybaby.

    You're chipping away at those few pounds you don't want @joedenise. As you said, do a @beanielou and keep plodding. 🤗 Glad you're pleased with your dress. You could have a split in the seam at the back or side if you need more room to walk. Where is your next holiday? 🤔

    You're getting loads of Body Magic with the gardening, walking and running this week @Coxy11. 👍 Any news on the job? 🤔

    I won't post all the food I've eaten out but it was quite SW friendly in parts. The parts that weren't were the pastry on a pie last night and a seafood volauvent I had as a starter today. 

    Back on it tomorrow.

    You'll never believe t but DH decided he want's another holiday before our next planned one in December!  He started looking and has booked one to Tunisia and we're going Monday morning (will need to leave home about 3am, eek!).

    I definitely won't be losing those couple of lbs I want to next week - more like putting on another couple!!!  On a positive note I haven't had any G&Ts tonight so have saved 6 syns.

    I've hemmed the dress now and just need to make the straps and sew them on.  Want to try and get that done tomorrow first thing so that I can get it washed, dried and packed!  I had thought I might need to leave a split in the back seam but fortunately it wasn't necessary.

    Good luck with getting a gain this week @bubbs.  I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

    Positive thoughts for a loss @Jellybaby.

    Oh wow @joedenise, a holiday starting on Monday!! I'm so envious, I'm finding it hard to get DH to commit to a few days away anywhere. Who knew your dress would be called into use so soon. 🤣

    Another one who’s envious!! Good job the dress is ready to go @joedenise!! Have a fab time. 

    Good luck to those weighing in today x

    Another walk/run this morning and I passed a group doing some kind of boot camp. I get quite anxious running past people so I sped up!! Have just had a banana and some water so far. 

    More gardening today and we are going to the pub tonight as it’s the landlords last night - a new team takes over from Monday. Will stick to soda water. 

    Food today:
    B - banana, toasted protein bagel thin, Poached egg - free, HEB, P
    L - cheese pasta, salad, apple - HEA, free, S
    D - SW Cajun pork and apple
    burgers, SW chips, salad  - 0.5, free, S
    HEA - milk
    Syns - not sure yet

    Morning all,

    I love reading about all your holidays @joedenise 😀

    Got to WI, happy with two off and won the raffle! Ingredients for soup so another win. 

    I’m dog sitting this afternoon at a friend’s house and as a thank you has said he’s treating me to a chippy tea. I’m not keen on chip shop chips so it will be fish in breadcrumbs and a pickled onion for me. It’s still deep fried but no idea on syns.

    I had a huge fruit salad with yoghurt when I came in from group and will probably have some lentil soup before I go out.

    Have a good Saturday everyone

    Morning all, the dress is finally finished!  The straps were a right PITA!!!  Quite honestly they were too narrow to turn so ended up having to cut some more but wider so the straps are still narrow but not shoestring but to be honest I actually think it looks better with the slightly wider straps.

    I've done 2 loads of washing to empty the wash bin so there will only be clothes we take off this weekend in the basket when we get back plus of course the week's washing from holiday.

    Today's plan:

    B - bacon & mushroom sandwich - HEB; P; S; 1.5
    L - 2 pea soup - S; F
    D - LO butter chicken curry, rice, mango chutney - P; S; F; 3

    HEA - milk
    HEB - bread
    Syns - LF spread 1.5; mango chutney 3; couple of G&Ts 6

    Have a good day everyone.
