A yummy (and happier and healthier) mummy - for good this time!

[MelonCollie]

I have blackcurrant ones in.. lol

 

[freakydarkstuff]

Ooooh i didnt realise those triangle lollies were only a syn! I have those ice-poles in the freezer as Reece likes them. I wonder what the syns are in those but they seem sugary...

I know it'd be easier to make our own but thats a lot of faff in a freezer without a lot of room!!

Although I'm chatting about ice cream/ lollies and the weather has taken a turn down here in Bristol- its tipping it down and I'm considering putting the heating back on (im cold but i do also have some washing that needs drying... Any excuse lol!!)

 

[freakydarkstuff]

And if you try the coleslaw MC, if its a little dry- just add a little more FF.

And you can use mustard powder to lower the syns (if you have it) although i love the little mustard seeds popping in my mouth!!

 

[MelonCollie]

haha I do have some mustard powder in

I also have the heating on! It's pouring down here and I need to get a ton of wash done by the weekend..!! All the heaters will be covered lol.

 

[freakydarkstuff]

I find it impossible to find mustard powder that isnt colmans (which costs a fortune!)

 

[MelonCollie]

I bought tons of colemans mustard powder when I saw them reduced.. haha.. I think it was less than a pound a tin! was a while ago though

 

[snowbryneich]

I am wondering if don't put enough mustard powder in mayo as i can never taste and I don't get through it that quickly. Mind I've been mixing it into pease pudding to make cheats mustard lately so that will use it up quicker. Lisa. wouldn't mustard seeds also be free if you wanted to save on syns but have that sensation still?

 

[freakydarkstuff]

I did wonder about the mustard seeds but wasnt sure if the flavour would be different... May be worth a try though!

Im definitely going to keep an eye out for mustard powder on special offer too

With the mustard powder you need to mix it with a tiny bit of water and leave it ten mins before mixing with the Mayo then it should be strong - you may do this but if not makes a real difference I love mustard Mayo especially when the lightest stuff doesn't taste great x

Yesterday we had an impromptu day out at the beach! Had loads of fun but was off plan! Cant go to the beach and not have fish and chips!!

And then last night me and hubby had our last bottle of wedding champagne with some chocolates...

I only had philadelphia light on WM toast for dinner though so it wasn't a complete write off...

But i weighed this morning and ive somehow lost 6lb!!!
Down to 12st1lb!!

 

[snowbryneich]

Well done on your loss - lots of your previous gain was probably water or something but still is great to get a good chunk off like that!

 

[Poppet12]

Cracking loss Lisa! Well done! That's almost all your gain gone bar 1.5lbs isn't it? X

 

[freakydarkstuff]

I believe so Rosie!! Its coming off a lot easier this time than the last but maybe because i am more relaxed about it without having a deadline

I thought a lot of the weight could be water as well, Snow! I ate a lot of breads and salty food when i was off plan (definitely more of a savoury tooth!) and we all know that salt and bad carbs make you retain water.

Strangely i still feel a lot fatter- my waist isnt as defined and my mum-tum seems wobblier and more bulging..

Made another batch of coleslaw today- am becoming addicted! Whole batch was 3syns! (EL mayo- 2syns, wholegrain mustard 1syn) and ive got some to take to work tomorrow Almost like a salad so i dont mind munching on it like it is
