Lunch is leftover curry from last night and a baked potato.

Had a yogurt 0.5 syns and an apple in the afternoon.

Bought some lovely looking chunky cookies in to work for to share. But i will try and resist as they are 7 or 8 syns per cookie!

Had a mug shot and 30g of cheese as hea when i got in from work.

For dinner i had Marks and spencer mushroom and onion pie 2.5 syns. Quorn peppered steak and veg. Count on us choc sundae for dessert 8.5 syns. Yummy and very chocolatey.

Hi moira yes i know cant seem to win either way! It is like the early bit of pregnancy when you can hardly function all the time! Last year before i was diagnosed i thought that what was wrong i felt so lousy! How are you feeling yourself at the minute?
Ive stocked up on berocca so hoping it will give me a boost.

Btw i had told you there waa no such thing as vanilla quark but it seems i was wrong.. found some vanilla and lemon flavour in tesco last night. Its by the lake district company so not sure if you'd get it down south, unless you are able to.pop over the border handy? Or maybe they will get it in keep an eye out anyway. Im hoping it is free but will have to check. Would be nice for breakfast in the morning.

 

[riahummingbird]

So glad to be finished work for the week!

Kept on plan all day and managed to resist the cookies. Looking forward to a nice easy dinner tonight. Think i wiill try the sw enchiladas tomorrow night as i have most of the stuff in the house.

Not much planned for this weekend, a few walks and visiting family and friends. And maybe a lie in! We are contemplating moving our 18mo out of our bedroom tonight and i am dreading it! He is still.not sleeping through the night every night so think it might be better as we wont be disturbing him. But i am not sure if either of us will be happy with it!

Well, my DS2 has just broken out in chicken pox this morning so we will be a bit restricted this weekend as to what we do over the Bank Holiday. We were supposed to go to a family fun day today but doesn't seem fair to go and spread it about so we'll give it a miss.

Breakfast this morning was sw rice pudding made with water and then an activia ff strawberry yogurt stirred in. Had mixed berries with it.

No ideas for lunch yet, I am a bit stuck tbh!

I fancy sw enchilladas for dinner tonight so I want to keep a hea for that for the cheese. Will prob have that with wedges or sw chips.

Anyway I have been 100% on plan this week so I am pleased with that. It has been a while from I have been so good, just hope I see the results on the sccales tomorrow!

Spent a lovely morning mucking about with the boys and am having a pot of coffee now with a couple of oranges and free quorn sausages.

I think I will be having a stir fry and noodles for a late lunch (pak choi, green beans, peppers, broccoli- it's prepacked) and plenty of soy sauce.
Hubby is working ot today so when he gets home I might hit the xt.

 

[riahummingbird]

Yesterday's Food:


Breakfast- sw rice pudding made with water and then an activia ff strawberry yogurt stirred in. Had mixed berries with it.

Coffee, 2 oranges, 2 free quorn sausages

Went to a local beer garden in the afternoon to watch the boats coming in, weather was so beautiful! Stuck to diet coke as I was driving.

Lunch- stir fry and noodles for a late lunch (pak choi, green beans, peppers, broccoli- it was prepacked) and plenty of soy sauce.

Dinner was sw enchiladas (3 syns for dried packet mix) with sw chips.

Made the sauce with dried packet mix and passata rather than the enchilada sauce, and substituted the tortillas with lasagne sheets. Topped with hea of cheese. It was delicious and whilst I was't sure how the lasagne sheets would fare, once it was all baked it tasted great and hard to tell the difference. Only thing was it didn't hold shape well so might use the cannolini tubes next time.

Had chewy bar heb and peanuts heb with some raisins and choc buttons 7 syns.

Hea- 2
Heb- 2
Syns- 10


Another day at 100%!

Lunch- leftover sausage casserole from yesterday (3.5yns)

Tuesday

Need to get a plan on here today otherwise i will be floundering at work! Totally at loss as to what to have for breakfast but it will probably be ryvitta, dairylea light and tomatoes.

Lunch is the free tinned ravioli and a bit of salad (spring onion, tomato, cucumber, beetroot).

The usual yogurts and fruit (apple, orange, peach) for snacks and a chewy bar for emergencies.

I guess the food for today looks ok, but i feel a bit uninspired! That might have more to do with being back at work though!

Well another day on plan!

Off work with the pox ridden kids today so won't be up to much!

Breakfast- Two ryvitta fruit crunch (heb) and quark with fruit and Options hot choc (2 syns). Quite a sweet tooth this morning!

Lunch- I'm thinking of making a spicy bean chilli or soup for lunch and hopefully have some left for tomorrow as well.

I had one of those muller light milk choc desserts last night and was a bit disappointed with it for 5 syns. I think I prefer the shape or alpro soya ones, it just tasted a bit artificial.

Stocks are running low so will have to hit the shops tonight. Going to try and do a bit of a plan for the week as I am spending too much and still have nothing to show it!

Well 100% on plan so far rhis week but today will prob be off plan. Heading out with some girls i havent seen in a while so plenty of wine and maybe some food.

Breakfast- porridge made with water and yogurt stirred in. Strawberries.

Ryvitta and dairylea with tomato.

Lunch pasta with veg and quorn

Before i go out i might have some free ravioli as im not sure if there is anywhere where we are going to get food or at least veggie friendly food! Will pop a cereal bar in my bag as well for a quick snack if i need it!

Oh and a nsv my whole outfit for 2nite is a size 10! still find it strange that i can fit into it lol. But my skinny jeans were a bargain they are shaping and have built in control and were only 8 quid in sainsburys.
