Daily chat and general fun food time

I used a sharwoods jar only 4 syns per 100g so really good value syn wise. It was mega lush, threw in lots veggies with chicken, sauce and served with rice. Would have added some wedges if I had potatoes in

Hubby came home with these for me last night, think he's treating me since I'm in my second trimester now and he knows I'm feeling a lil down about my changing figure. It can be really difficult to put on weight when you've been working so hard to get it off, can make you feel a little lost! Couple that with pregnancy hormones and my head explodes... Anyways, nice to know I'm loved

Food for today!

Breakfast : hex b crunchy bran, hex a milk and strawberries ( I love crunchy bran! Hahaha)

Lunch : no sure yet, gonna have a rout around the cupboards. I have baked beans

Edit : I decided to have a fry up with 2 proper sausages 8 syns, baked beans, scrambled eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms - so yummy and I'm filled up

Dinner : Heading out to dinner with some friends so probably Salmon with potato and veggies? Will pick low syn option, probably poached salmon/grilled meat..

Bubbles did you manage to stick to SW the whole time? That's impressive!! I couldn't in the first trimester - I just didn't want healthy foods. Last 2 weeks have been better but it's a struggle. I haven't gained that much yet (maybe 3/4 pounds at most) but my OB is very particular about weight gain and doesn't like large gains - at least I have that threat hanging over me of a telling off when I go to the doctors if I'm not good

 

[bubble77]

Yes bubbly I put on 18lb with my son and 20 with my daughter. I was allowed 2 extra hexs whilst preggie. It worked. You'll do just fine. X

 

[tatabubbly]

Thanks bubbles! Your allowed 2 extra hexs? I've only been having an extra hex a?

So went to dinner last night and took one mouthful of the salmon - it was nasty. I had my baked potato and veggies and ended up having 2 slices of garlic bread to fill the void. So disappointed!

Food for today, pretty boring!

Banana

Lunch : heading out but will make it SW friendly - had baked potato with chicken salad wrap (8 syns), 5 syns biscuits at home

Snack : cheese on toast (couldn't help it! 2nd hexs)

Dinner : hubby wants to do date night so maybe Nandos actually!

 

[marybobs]

Hope you enjoyed date night xx

Hiya Tash... Look at you still trying to be good! I'm pretty sure I have heard you get extras whilst following SW as Bubble said. I bet there is a thread on here where you could ask as there are bound to be others in the same situ that are attending classes so they will have the very latest info to share with you. Would be worth the ask or I could ask my consultant for you on Monday if you liked?

 

[tatabubbly]

Hi Gemsta! I'm okay, some days I'm on plan, some days I'm not.

I'll go forward using one extra of each hex as I know that's what people do when they are maintaining and that's my goal!

Today, I've been pretty off plan.

Had pancakes for breakfast at IHOP and then a wee MC D ice cream! I'll be back on track tomorrow so I'm okay with that! Taking every day as it comes

 

[marybobs]

So jealous about IHOP!!!

 

[tatabubbly]

So jealous about IHOP!!!

Don't be - I'll not be back. Got 3 pancakes and they were so tasteless..

 

[marybobs]

Awh bummer. You'll have to try the ones we make when your home. I think himself has perfected the recipe now.

Something same size perhaps! They are jacking up our rent and I don't fancy paying it! Esp with a baby on the way - that's expensive enough!

 

[marybobs]

make sure theres a bed for me lol.

 

[tatabubbly]

Hehe Marybobs - I'll try. We've found one we like but it's not free until March and I'm unsure when we can view it! Hopefully we could view it in a week or two and it seems to be in our price range so we will definitely be taking a look.

In a good mood this morning and the sun is shining outside. Hopefully it starts to get warmer here - I really wanna use the pool as it'll be so beneficial for me.
