Cookie's diary to be joyously slim

[Cookie21]

Geordie, muller light yogurts are yummy, I also like the Activia 0% ones too my favourite is vanilla. Last week you could've bought a pack of four for £1 but this week back up to £1.84 so no Activia ones for me this week. I've tried the Danio ones though and they're super thick they reminded of me of cottage cheese I had the peach/apricot one it was nice though. Xxx

Hello again, last late shift for the week woo hoo! Roll on two days off oops three days off yay!
I have to say I felt fat & tired this morning what I mean is fatter than normal and I think it's because I had some extra all bran with my shredded wheat, couscous in my lunch & sweet potato in my dinner. My body doesn't do well with carbs in every meal and I could do with the poo fairy popping so if anyone has seen her, send her to Manchester please...?

Time for food
Breakfast = fruit salad & cherry muller light yogurt
Lunch = chicken & cheese salad (hex a) extra light triangles x3, vinegar, beetroot & egg, coconut muller light
Snack = banana & apple
Dinner = haddock in breadcrumbs (6.5 syns), couscous, lots of veggies & gravy (1 syn)
Afters = hi fi light rocky road bar (hex b).
Total syns = 7.5 for the day.

my beloved BF said he'd cook tea for us for tonight something healthy and low fat bless him. He bought and cooked the haddock in breadcrumbs for 6.5 syns, how rude is that? He's trying bless him, with batter I remove it and he eats it to keep it syn free for me, but I can't remove the crumbs on this one. It does look nice though and we e got some sweet corn in with our usual veggies.

Hi Sweetie

Bless the BF for cooking....even if you did have to have the breadcrumbs (bet they were worth the syns )

I don't do well with lots of carbs either hun, green days don't seem to work for me at all (well I've not tried them this time around - but last time I couldn't lose on them at all) I do have to slightly control my portion size with pasta and spuds

Off camping tomorrow I've baked 4 SB cakes cos I'm terrified of running out ha ha ha ha (and I really need the poo fairy to keep visiting like she has been ) xxxx

Hiya, food looks good. My other half never cooks! Anyway, glad you mentioned this poo fairy business. Sorry to lower the tone but I couldn't go to the loo for a few days last week and wondered what it was all about, glad it was after WI, lol. Have thought that the carbs may be an issue and I am hopeless with portion control!

Hey dizzy, have just posted to cookie about the carbs business. I have been thinking I need to have a bit control over it.

Camping sounds good, they have been saying on the radio that we are going to have a heatwave, hope it reaches the north east!

What are the scran bran cakes like? Do you count them as a hex b with some syns?

Great that the BF cooked I think we all have problems with the poo fairy at times lol - drink plenty and plenty of fruit and veg

Scan bran cakes are the Dogs Doodahs!!! there is a link at the bottom of my sig to a thread of cake recipes and general craziness.

I usually have a whole cake a day counting it as my HEXB plus whatever syns...I've found some Lush food flavourings tho which can make the cakes come out almost syn free for some flavours (ones where you don't add any cocoa powder) You really should try em hun....they are filing too, I have some at brekkie then after my meal....seems to balance out not having as many carby stuff while still feeling full.

Fingers crossed for the heatwave...were supposed to be going to north wales xx

Hey dizzy, spotted your link. Will have a look at the recipes and have a go, anything new to try is always good!

Enjoy the camping ! X

yooohoo Cookie, here for a snoop and a sub

 

[Cookie21]

Hello izzyhew, thanks for popping by, and I'm feeling good cos I've got three days off so yay for me!
How are you today? Have you had sneezed and trumped again? I couldn't stop laughing when I read it and when I was at work again last night finishing late (again) I just thought of it and of course had to go for a wee, so leaving work late didn't bother me as much after that. Xxx

 

[Cookie21]

Hello everyone, who woke up feeling like they have a little extra in their muffin top this morning? Cookie did.
Who did the poo fairy visit last night? Certainly not Cookie, that Lil lady is late on her rounds. I reckon though she sent her Aunt Flo fairy because she made a visit yesterday! I keeping a ladies emergency pack in my locker at work so I was alright.

I still took myself off to the gym for an aerobics class which was really tough but good. Just got to survive a girls tea out tonight! Also I'm off for three days so yay for me! Xxxx

Hello miss Dizzy, I have to say the tea the BF cooked was lush so well worth the syns last night, I used my hex b as my afters too so didn't feel deprived of my sugar fix after dinner.

Good luck camping this weekend doll, I reckon you might really like it, I'm still impressed with your willingness to give it a go so remind him of it if need be. Loving the scan bran cakes you've made for the trip if the poo fairy swings by your way send her to Manchester! What cakes did you bake? Have you packed your onesie and sun lotion?

Have a super fab time xxx

 

[Cookie21]

Food today. Even though the aunt flo fairy is visiting this week I feel not too bad actually, probably helped by doing a workout and Day 17 of the abs challenge this morning.
Breakfast = rhubarb muller light (don't recommend) with banana & strawbs
Lunch = chicken & emmental cheese triangle lights (1/2 hex a) salad with egg, fruit salad
Snack = hi fi light rocky road bar (1/2 hex b)
dinner = ? Will have to update later as out tonight xxx

lol I am glad my distress helped you through your day hahaha, no I haven't had a repeat performance (yet) but I perhaps have eaten a little less scan bran since lmao.

Honestly that trump was fearsome scary - I could get a job knocking buildings down with it!

 

[Cookie21]

Home now yay! Had a lovely time out catching up and talking about weddings coming up. Was naughtier than I thought I'd be actually but I think I'm ok as I've had no syns prior to going out. we ate at Est est est
Dinner = grilled chicken breast in garlic lemon and rosemary with roast new potatoes and green beans classed as the healthy option at around 465 calories very nice and I had a slice & a half of plain garlic bread. I reckon 7 for the garlic bread (ridiculous for the size) and I've counted another 3 or 4 for the oil the potatoes were roasted in just incase. I didn't have desert like everyone else did I had a pot of tea & then a hi fi light rocky road bar as part of my hex b so total for the day 10-11 syns so still good. Xx

Thanks Geordie, its quite nice at Est Est Est.

how was your night at the theatre and how are you spending the weekend in such sunshine?
The BF says he's taking me to Prestatyn for the day, so i said I'd pack a picnic for us and then he said to pack my swimsuit as we're going to Waterworld! Very excited although I didn't fancy showing my butt this weekend, better get to them squats. I'm on day 18 but only managed 60 so far, xxxx
