ClaireL second chance diary

Oooo, you must let us know how they taste! Jx

Tried the Sharon fruit- I quite liked them- they were quite sweet but I personally couldn't taste caramel, wasn't sure if I should eat the skins so had it with a spoon just chopped the top off and scooped the flesh out like it was a boiled egg!!

Sounds a fab weekend x

I hope you gave hubby a long shopping list to take to England!

Dinner last night was pasta with ham, mushrooms and red pepper in a tomato based sauce, grated parmesan (part HEA as only had 1 cup of tea with milk all day)

synnage quite low so that is very good - 3 syns total for day

Extra Easy again today but am not feeling hungry whatsoever at the minute

Toast (HEB) with lurpak lighter spreadable 2 syns and ham for breakfast

Still not thinking of lunch and it's 1.20 here - that's not like me!!

Dinner: have a load of tiny potatoes so will make something with these to use them up - not sure what though!!!

Bit of a funny day so far really - not really 'here' if you know what I mean..... think an early night is on the cards!

 

[kirsty_baird_26]

Hope your ok and foods looks fab!! x

Well done on the low syn day.
Is saw some Sharon fruit in the supermarket today but they didn't look too appetising! I decided to opt for melon and kiwis instead.
Have a good day x

I am in the office today, up a tad late so missed breakfast and I have forgot my lunch

fortunately I did bring my fruit, so have had a banana and a plum but I have got to say - I AM STARVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so today is STARVE day - but should be extra easy!!

Breakfast: Nada

Snack: banana and plum

Lunch: was just nasty suprise when I opened my bag and realised that lunch was not there!! would have relished the fruit if I had known it was all that was on offer today

Have had a coffee made with milk though so that's my HEA done

Dinner: haven't got anything planned but have fresh meats and veggies in - picking youngest up from after school football at 5.30 so.......the question is can I stay in control until I am home and make something SW friendly?? Don't hold your breath!!!!


Am going to browse the recipes now just to torture myself a little bit more

 

[kirsty_baird_26]

Yeah you can do it go get a healthy lunch n tons of fruit x

 

[shrinki]

Morning!

Can you get these in Austria?




Absolutely delicious... And free!!!

Hi Jane, not seen those around but it doesn't mean they don't exist!! - will keep my eyes open to see if I can find them

Not been on minis for a few days - things a bit crazy at work and also at home - just so busy busy busy!!

As far as SW goes I have been fairly good, but not 100%, but as I am in the office for the next 2 weeks I will be able to plan and keep to plan much better (as what I bring for lunch will be my only option so I will stick to plan and also no biscuits / cheese etc readily available here - I'm hoping to report a good 2 weeks)

today is green

Brealkfast: banana, yogurt, bread (HEB) with butter 2 syns

Lunch: egg and cress sandwich (HEB) 1 syn for mayo (ELF), plums x2, sharon fruit

Dinner: veg fried rice, mushy pea curry with quorn pieces

HEA: Milk in drinks

 

[kirsty_baird_26]

Hi diary- I am back on board now- promise! Have been caught up with work issues- my job is being relocated to India so I have to find another position in the company or I am out in my ear come Feb. I have been feeling really stressed which is not like me and I just couldn't think about food planning etc at all as my brain has been spinning with thought of what I can do for work! OH is saying to take some time out and relax but I really do like to work and earn a bit if cash for myself don't know where this comes from - but it is really important to me. I have a few applications in at work and will look outside the company if nothing comes up from them- the surprise has worn off now so I think I am in a place to start again with the SW plan. So here we go

Sunday:
Breakfast- bacon, 1 grilled tomato, mushrooms and egg. 1 slice bread toasted HEB

 

[shrinki]

[kirsty_baird_26]
