Morning

Well today is curry day in work and I have made a conscious decision to partake in moderation. I brought my own boiled rice and instead of my usual curry (South Indian Garlic Chilli is my favourite) I've gone for a Chicken Bhuna which I'll eat about half of the portion.

So today's grub:
B - Weetabix and milk HEA & B
L - Curry club - <10 syns
D - Thai Chicken noodle broth leftovers

Had a skip delivered this morning so I've got 4 days to fill it with bricks and rubble from the garden so that'll be my exercise regime sorted for the week! I'll start filling it tonight and I've taken the day off work tomorrow to get on with it too.

Morning. I lost 2lb last night. So happy today I have fruit. Will have a sandwich for lunch. Not sure for tea tonight as I have an appointment at the hospital later.

Sorry to hear you ended up in A&E with your daughter last night Kathryn. I really can't understand why hospital food is so unhealthy! You just can't find anything healthy, except perhaps a piece of fruit if your early enough in the day!

Stoke Good plan with the Curry Club at work to take your own with you.

As everyone else has said Beanie just take it easy and go at your own pace. Don't be rushed by anyone else.

WI this morning was as I expected, just 0.5lb off. I suspect it's because of doing the exercise this week which I don't usually do. Now only 1lb to go to get bang on target. Would still like to be at bottom end before Christmas!

We're away from this afternoon until Sunday afternoon so no idea whether I'll be able to post as don't know what the signal will be like so may not be posting again until Sunday.

Today's plan:

B - orange
L - Veg & brown lentil soup
D - Chicken & chorizo rice - 2 syns

HEA - milk
HEB - nothing planned
Syns - chorizo 2 syns; couple of shorts - 5 syns

The only positive was the drink was diet. There was fruit in the shop. Apples at over a quid each that looked like someone had played football with them, so gave them a miss

You do seem to have had so many problems lately kathrynha. Definitely more than your fair share. Good on your for plodding on. You must be sick of drawing lines.:A

It's a loss denise, slow and steady:). Does seem wrong though when you've been so good and your DH has lost so much.:(

And I do fancy those fishcakes. It’s a pity there’s not a handy Morrison’s.

Me too but our only Morrison's is miles away. I'll make a note for when I take a trip across the city.:)

Well, I’ve had a good day (just 3 ½ syns used), but I feel FAT!!!!

That's strange isn't it greentiger. I felt much the same so didn't want to risk going to WI. This morning I feel slim again but I'm out for lunch so it won't last!:rotfl:

My plan for today -

B - Overnight bran (1/2 HexB) with fruit
L - Homemade butternut squash soup with 2 ryvitas (1/2 HexB)
D - Not sure yet, probably steak with baby sweetcorn
Snacks - Fruit

Hope everyone has a great day today!

Good luck with aiming for the new number. Will you only have steak and baby sweetcorn 50/50? That could be SP but it would take a lot of sweetcorn to make a good meal. Don't starve yourself.:)

:T that's really good to see you getting a decent loss. Well done! I'm sure you give us a shorthand version of your menu but will it be a sandwich full of Speed? Or on the side?

Hope you don't suffer like kathryna at the hospital having to buy junk. Lots of us make HM Ready Meals for days when we're too busy to cook. Bolognese is an obvious one then you just need to ping the sauce and cook the pasta when you get home. There are lots of shop bought meals that are low syn too. Obviously the SW ones from Iceland (not use widely on here) or others like Aldi Lamb Rogan Josh which is just 1.5 syns. Do you plan your week's meals before you do your weekly shop?

Have a good week.:)

I've had my Weetabix breakfast but not much idea how the rest of the day will work out. I'd like to choose wisely so hope the restaurant menu will let me. I'll report back later.:)
