Whoop, whoop, that'll be fab x

I can't wait Not that I wouldn't have loved Rhodes but to be able to go to Egypt is amazing.
Having a bit of a huff now though because I have to arrange travel to England to pick up my car. I'm trying not to sound ungrateful but it's very difficult trying to organise it at the moment!

As for not wanting my butty, that didn't work out. Just munched it and it was good!

 

[Happy Holidays]

You don't sound ungrateful but I can imagine it's not that easy & if you've never done that thing before a tad hard work I'd say x

Ah, you're going to Stix & Stones! Is this their pre-theatre menu?

I'd go smoked salmon parfait and seared tuna steak x

 

[Jenna88]

Haha it is! I've never been before, is it nice? Those were the two I was thinking mainly due to the fact the have the HL symbol! Not really sure what Salmon parfait is but I'll give it a whirl

 

[OpalLilyEats]

What the heck does HL mean?! I hadn't even noticed that!

I went with my mum and sister a couple of months after it opened. It was alright, food was average but the service was terrible. I think it's a bit pricey and over hyped but def worth a visit!x

 

[Jenna88]

It's Healthy Living!
Aye, it's not somewhere I'd usually be that fussed on going but where the girlies want to go I shall follow. The pre theatre price isnt' bad anyway

 

[OpalLilyEats]

That's a crackin' pre-theatre menu! I heard they were good for that actually!

We paid silly overinflated sat night prices I think! xx

 

[Jenna88]

So, today's diary. EE.

Breakfast
Bacon butty (HExB toast), 1 syn ketchup

Lunch
4 strawberries, 1 apple and a muller light

Dinner
Baked potato, tuna mayo, HExA cheese and mixed veg 2 syns
6 syns HiFi bars
AND a further 6 syns on choc. Feeling pretty peeved with myself right now.

 

[OpalLilyEats]

How can you survive with such little lunch? I'd be starving!

 

[Miss_Corset]

How can you survive with such little lunch? I'd be starving!

Me too! But maybe that's why Jenna has lost a stone in the month she has been back and I...well I don't even know what my scales would say if I got on them right now! xxx

 

[OpalLilyEats]

That's very true. I'm a greedy piggy at the min! Grossssss!

 

[Jenna88]

Lol I'm genuinely never that hungry at lunchtime and feel guilty if I have something cooked lol! In saying that I've def just snaffled 2 hifi bars (nothing to do with hunger oops)

 

[Jenna88]

Dear Scales....MOVE (in the right direction please),

Ok, so in fairness the fact they're stuck at 10st 7 is good given all the wine and crisps on Friday but come on! I want a loss! I want to be in the lower half of the 10s.

Breakfast
1 egg, HExB toast, 1 syn ketchup.

Lunch
Pineapple and strawberries topped with a muller. It's very strange how OVER pineapple I am. I used to LOVE having it everyday before I went to Florida.

Dinner
Tuna pasta bake. HExB tuna, HExA cheese, HExA philly.

Going to allow myself 6 syns for HiFi's. Thank God my little batch is nearly done with, if I buy more I need to buy one box at a time as they tempt me!

Have also managed to get the girls to change our plans for Thursday, we're going to one of their houses for drinks just but I shall be on the diet coke and driving

 

[RiaLou80]

I love pineapple but I find I can get easily bored with it too.

Daft Q - how do you make your tuna bake? I'm thinking I could make it for tea one night then, bring leftovers for lunch
xx

 

[Jenna88]

It's dead easy! Boil my pasta (with a stock cube for flavour), while it's boiling fry off my mushroom, onion, peppers and sweetcorn. Drain pasta and add fried veg to the pot. Mix in 50g extra light philly and garlic powder. Then simply pop in to the dish and top with cheese, takes about 5 mins in the oven to go golden.

 

[RiaLou80]

Thanks Jenna, it's on my list of things to do xx

[Jenna88]

It's my fave meal (as you've probably guessed lol).

 

[Jenna88]

Crappy day so I'm doing it, hitting the wine, I'm sure I'll be raging with myself at some point but right now I feel like I need a night with my girls!

 

[Jenna88]

So I'm back, when I say I hit the wine I mean I hit it hard. 3 bottles, ruining my life with messages and the worst hangover of my entire life yesterday and I'm finally well enough to sit up and type...horrendous. Yesterday though, when I stood on the scales they said 10st 5. I then had a chippy last night (when I could eventually stomach food), tbh I didn't enjoy it and the gurgling that my stomach has done all day today and last night shows that even though I treated it like crap for a year in America my body is definitely not used to all that grease.
Scales showed 10st 7 this morning but I think I'm gonna be cheeky and take the 10st 5 as this weeks weigh in and aim to get back to it for next Sunday.

Today's food.
Passata pasta bake (2 LM red onion sausages, passata, usual veg and HExA of cheese)
12 syns on biscuits. Oops.
Grapes...a lot of them lol!
