I seem to be best friends with tuna this week! I might try and get some fresh tuna steaks for next week as they are better for you than the canned stuff...

I'm going into Glasgow later this afternoon to meet my cousin Rachel for late night shopping. She wants to get a new dress for mine & Calum's engagement BBQ on Saturday and I want to try and find a wee pair of sandals to go with my dress. Think we're going to go somewhere for a diet coke afterwards haha.

Have a wonderful Thursday everybody x

Tuna steak is so tasty especially with a nice salad

Hope you find a nice pair of sandals for your engagement party, how exciting x

Good morning everyone & happy Friday!!

L - Leftover pasta from last night
D - Baked potato with tuna & chopped peppers
Snacks - grapes, strawberries, tangerine, pear, mullerlight (all FREE, yay!)
Drinks - water, diet coke

Total syns - 0 (saving for the BBQ tomorrow!)
Calories - 1,250 approx

I'm off out to Glasgow tonight for one of Calum's friend's birthday things. Calum said he'll pay me into wherever we are going and get me a few drinks. Told him I'll only be on the diet coke so will be a cheap date haha. Saving my syns from today for tomorrow so I can have a few vodkas at the BBQ. Have decided I don't wanna go too off-track, especially since it is the first week, so will be limiting myself to 3 vodkas with diet coke which would leave me 8 syns for a bit of naughty food if I so desire.

Plans for this morning:
1. Do some laundry
2. Prepare some tasty syn-free burgers & BBQ relish for tomorrow!

Sadly the weather forecast is predicting rain, rain, rain so the BBQ may be more of an indoor buffet type thing now. But hey ho!

 

[lil miss chatterbox]

great looking menu. I hope the forecast is wrong - I don't want rain!

 

[Lady_Amalthea]

Oh, I know! Will be keeping my fingers & toes crossed that it'll be bright skies!

 

[BinkyBonk]

Congratulations on your Engagement - don't think that is all the calories I would have consumed at my party

 

[BinkyBonk]

Well done for being so good at your party =)

An array of photos from yesterday. My little sis is the one in the white strappy top and my big cousin is the girl with the reddish hair. Obviously the rest are me & Calum. Plus our awesome engagement cake!

 

[systema]

What lovely pictures :love:



The cake (as great as it looks) would not bother me, more of a savoury tooth but the vodka would have been my downfall in more way than one.

 

[BinkyBonk]

Aww lovely pictures, looks like you had a great time x

I can't eat cake but it still looks tasty he he x

 

[Lady_Amalthea]

Thank you both

My aunt sent the rest of the cake up but I've just cut a slither of a slice to have with a cup of tea later tonight and the rest has been binned. Seems like a waste really but half my family dislike butter icing and the rest are on a diet haha.

Today's menu:

B - fruit'n'fibre with ss-milk (HExA&B) and chopped strawberries
L - strawberries, pineapple, satsuma topped with mullerlight
D - Pasta with passata & various herbs/spices
Snacks - fruit, pate (4 syns) + melba toast x 5 (2.5 syns) + crackerbread x 2 (2 syns)

Total syns - 8.5
Calories - approx 1300

Limiting myself to 8.5 (out of my allowance of 10!) syns today in order to keep my overall weekly total to 70. Really hoping for a good loss tonight to help keep me motivated!

 

[BinkyBonk]

Well done with the cake, you have much better will power than me x

Fingers crossed got tonight hope you see a loss x

 

[Lady_Amalthea]

Well done, I am a bit addicted to her walks now, I feel so much better for them and hoping they will help me time as I lose, really scared I am going to lose weight everywhere but my tummy ( which is my problem area)

I love walking, especially the fresh air, think that is one of the reasons I am struggling with driving, it just doesn't feel natural to me x

What are you thinking of introducing? X

Do you have an Aqua Aerobics class near to you? that is where I started. There are about 60 people in the class I go to now (a very large same depth pool which has surround sound ) age from 16 upwards, all shapes and sizes and we have a great time. You can work at your own pace and nobody judges anyone else.

Good Luck with the weigh in tonight.

 

[Lady_Amalthea]

I was thinking something like that...can you do aqua aerobics if you can't swim? I never learned!!x
