Aubergine bake was surprisingly nice:
I sliced two aubergines lengthways and 'fried' them in batches.
I meanwhile fried some garlic and added 2 tins chopped toms, oregano and crushed chillis and simmered for about 15 mins to thicken.
Then put some sauce in a dish, covered with a lyaer of aubergine then some slices of half fat mozzarella, more sauce, more aubergine and more cheese on top, then baked for about 40 mins.
It was very garlicky (recipe said to slice not crush so there were big chunks in the sauce) but I love garlic!!
Next time I'd probably have a potato or some wedges with it as there were no carbs in the meal, but was in a rush, trying to get shredded and showered while it was in the oven.
I'm out tonight for someone's leaving do at work. Will probably stick to diet coke so no problems there. Think I'll drive too then I can't be tempted by lager!!
Tomorrow I am meeting a couple of friends up in Richmond (North Yorkshire, not London!) for a walk and a pub lunch. Hoping the two cancel each other out!! I will again be driving though so at least it won't be a boozy lunch. It's forecast to be a nice day so should be a lovely day with lots of nattering and wedding talk because one of the girls is getting married in September
Sunday I have no plans, probably will be helping OH with his CV and job applications as he's always whinging he needs a new job but is a bit lax with actually getting his bum in gear and doing anything about it.
Still pee'd off about the lb gain. I'm thinking that using more syns might actually help me lose more, because this week I've been really strict with syns compared to previous weeks where I had meals out etc. and had losses. Grr, will be cross on Monday if I have gained, but it's an excuse to eat more next week!
