Claireybella's Food Diary

[Freshstartnewme!]

Hey Claire

The slimming world chicken sounds yummy- let us know how it turns out!

Is that Ainsley Harriot couscous nice? I got some at tesco yesturday after seeing it on your diary and we are going to try it with some chicken for tea or something once night. Thought it might be good for work too for lunch.

Are you feeling more back on track now- I lost 1.5lb this week so pleased with that! Even after the pizza mishap!

Hope you have a fandabidosi day

Claire xx

Well done on the weight loss, Claire! Told you that you'd be fine!

Well, I like the cous cous, hubby doesn't! He reckons it's like eating sand, but I disagree! Give it a go and tell me what you think. I don't add any oil or butter to mine though, just the water and let it puff up. I have plain cous cous too, which I add my own things to, but these Ainsley ones are so easy to do, and only 0.5 syn per pack! I did try a lemon and coriander one a few weeks back (not Ainsley's) and I think it was more syns and tasted revolting!

And yes, I'm back on track now. Think I needed that one day off, so that I didn't beat myself up about cheating!

i always seem to be the bearer of bad news, but the ainsley packs are 1.5 each, cos its 0.5 syns for 100g of the pack made up - not dried....so its technically 250g once made up - so count 1.5 syns if you are having a whole pack of it on EE/Green days hun!!!

Hmm, I'm sure you're right, but the SW website says 0.5 syns, I alwaes double check it cos I'm never sure. My C counts them as free. I'll ask her on Monday. I don't add anything to mine

Its 100g made up weight - not the dried.....so it makes about 250g to 300g when you add the water - hence 0.5 per 100g = 2.5 for the 250g!

Okay, so changed the synage for the cous cous! Damn little things (I was gonna call em grains, but they aren't. Watched a program on how it's made the other day, but can't remember what they really are!!) Had enough syns, anyway! Still not "on" yet, so feeling sluggish and bloated! Grrr!!

Anyway, there are cakes galore here at work today! Someones birthday tomorrow and someones leaving so double the amount! But no lemon cake in sight so I'm not tempted! Hoorah me!!
