    You know yourself Maman, real life can wiggle us off course now and again. A pound is only a big poo really.


    I'm being a little bit off plan today


    B - SW quiches, toast, an apple


    D - Chicken noodle soup


    Cinema trip where I am having pick and mix. I'm not gonna go mad, but I'm not going to deny myself either.


    T - Whatever we go out for or pick up on the way home


    Quiet weekend in working and obviously no boozing, so plenty of opportunities to claw back some syns :)

    Hi everyone. I'm back from weigh in at a new class and have +1/2LB not too unhappy with that considering.
    The new class seemed nice and it's great to have another morning option for when I can't make a Friday. I really don't like late classes as I starve (stupidly) before I weigh in to try and replicate my morning weigh in.
    Plan today is
    He a Bob milk
    Heb hifi bars
    B hifi bar and a nectarine
    L egg, sw chips, beetroot
    D lasagne and salad (4 syns as used a jar) I haven't topped it with cheese yet but I might use some more syns and have some :D

    We've booked a trip to New York in December so I'm back on the wagon and might even drop my target. I'll wait until I get to the bottom of range before I decide as I found it so difficult last time I tried to lose the 1/2 stone extra. Plus, I have a feeling I'd come home waaaay out of target range as everything we are planning seems to be foodie one way or another.
    Enjoy your day, I'm off to walk my dogs!

    Thanks for the voices of reason. I'm just frustrated that getting back into range is taking so long. When I think about it rationally it's just the same as when I got to target in the first place. I just checked back in my book and from where I am now to target (8 lbs) took 13 weeks with loads of to-ing and fro-ing on the way. It's just that it was 6 years ago and I'd forgotten about it being so hard.;)

    DH's birthday is officially postponed! :D He's been to GP and has a virus that's given him a horrible chesty cough. So as we're not going out I can plan my day better. I'll make us a special dinner so there will be syns and probably DD1 will be round later ( hopefully without cake).

    I've portioned up the veggie chilli for the freezer so that's a few lunches sorted.

    Today's plan :
    B: NAS grapefruit, HEB weetabix, HEA milk
    L: LO ham has with pickled cabbage
    D: duck confit . dauphinoise potatoes, onions, peas, carrots
    Syns :tbc

    News from group today was that there's a new comfort food cookbook coming out with Christmas countdown. I didn't see much in it that I don't already adapt. Iceland have new Mullerlights with the ready meals. Didn't pay much attention as I don't eat them. I think one may have been a coffee flavour. And a new ready meal IIRC Mexican chicken.

    I know you like stir fry kathryna . My favourite is Chicken with honey, lime and soy sauce. It doesn't need any oil. Put the honey 2tbsp and 1 tbsp of soy in wok and cook chicken pieces in that then add and stir all the veg, then add noodles (I use straight to wok) then stir in juice of a lime before eating. That serves 2 greedy people and sometimes we have chips as well!

    That recipe sounds nice. Need to buy some honey, and I love lime in stuff.


    The Iceland offer yogurts were gingerbread latte and salted caramel latte flavours if I remember rightly.
    I will get the new cookbook, but just because I will be due to by a new countdown then anyway.

    We've tried the Indian ones Bubbs and we thought they were OK. I split one between 2 people and add lots of veg, and a wholemeal Pitta bread.

    I tried the jalfrezi in my search for a curry ready meal. It's the only one I've tried. It was OK but a bit thin and watery. Now I have Aldi Lamb Rogan Josh. For 1.5 syns it's more like a proper Indian takeaway.

    tweets was very good. She taste tested all the ready meals for us when they first came out.
