Daiquiria's Diary- Green Days

Tuesday

Breakfast- 3x ryvitta and dairylea (part hea/heb) tomato and marmite

Lunch- three bean chilli.

Frozen jelly 0.5 syns and an activia, alpen light (watching girl with a dragon tattoo and enjoying no cbeebies for a change!)

Dinner- potato bake (0.5 syn) and quorn peppered steak.


Special K biscuit moment ( 5 syns) and bowl of bran flakes (heb/rest of hea)

Have the house to myself for a change so if I can settle myself to sit still long enough I might have a movie afternoon wth a few low syn snacks. Think the graves is finally starting to level out as I have plenty of energy at the minute and have been doing lots in the house and garden. Might as well make the most of it when I can!

I should probably explain the mini challenge under my signature....

I used to do quite a bit more exercise than I do now. I haven't really had the strength or energy of late because of the graves but as I'm feeling a bit better at the minute I thought I'd give myself a bit of a challenge to get me back in the way of it again.

So I'm hoping to do 100k on the cross trainer by the end of July- not a massive amount but at least I will have something to aim for and if I manage more, even better. Only started on Saturday and managed it twoice so far- too warm the other days and I've been outside, walks etc. so at least I am doing a bit of exercise!

I'm hoping it will become more of a habit as it used to be.
 
Wednesday

Breakfast 2x wm bread for toas0t (heb), 1 dairylea triangle and some lf spread and scrape of jam (2.5 syns)

Apple, alpen light bar (part heb), strawberries.

Lunch- salad and a small bit of bruschetta (10 syns to be safe)

slice of toast

Dinner- quorn sausages (free), pasta n sauce- quick and easy. Should have had some superfree but couldn't be bothered! G&T 2.5 syns.

Thursday

I have been out most of the past couple of days with the kids. Took them to Botanic gardens and Ulster museum yesterday so lots of walking. Big mistake though they were mental and the blood pressure was sky high lol. Would have been more at home at the zoo I think!

Out walking all this morning too at a wee marina nearby. Kids had lunch there but I resisted the gorgeous looking fruit and nut brownies and stuck with a diet coke.

Breakfast- 2 slices w toast (heb), bit of spread and jam (2.5 syns)

Lunch- noodles and stir fry veg followed by strawberries and cherries covered in vanilla activia.

Coffee light frappucino at starbucks- 4 syns but going to count as part my hea as have only had 1 cuppa today! Part of choc coin 4 syns.

Dinner- quorn Bolognese and spaghetti, little bit of cheese on top (part hea).

Scan bran x4- 1 dairylea triangle on 2 (part hea), nutella (4 syns) on 2.


Going to have scan bran as my other heb; the local Holland and Barrett finally got them back in again. Not sure what to have for dinner. I have fresh quorn mince to use up so if I can drag myself off the couch might make a veg packed Bolognese.

Hit the cross trainer for 20 mins when we got home before I would get the chance to chicken out.

Day before weigh in and i have a bbq to go to this afternoon! Cant imagine it will be too sw friendly either and i have specifically been td not to bring anything which is lovely but means i cant sneak in some sw food lol.

Breakfast- activia ff yogurt, melon, cherries and strawberries.

Lunch will be bbq so i imagine a few quorn sausages and burgers.

San bran cake last night and it was actually pretty lovely! It is only the second I've made and was infinitely better than the last; made this one in the microwave which was a first for me but it was quick and came out lovely and moist.

Scan Bran Ginger and Choc Cake-2 syns (or 7 if not using scan bran as heb)

5x scan bran
2 eggs
1 activia vanilla yogurt
Vanilla Essence
Sweetener to taste
Options Ginger Jazz hot choc sachet
Small piece of root ginger finely grated

Soak the scan bran in a little hot water until soft and mash. Mix the yogurt, sweetener, options, fresh ginger, and vanilla essence in another bowl. Mix in the two eggs.
Combine mixture and scan bran in a microwaveable bowl and cook for around 7 minutes, depending on your micro- check regularly after 4m 30secs.
I served this with quark mixed with sweetener and some fresh ginger finely grated and it was lush!
