Dear Diary........

[stburgan]

I guess even though its not a true reading...if you have a 'normal' week the following week, it evens itself out? It just depends how you deal with it mentally though doesn't it, sometimes it can derail you.

Yeah generally since I know the scales lie wen am on nights am not too bad tho am normally. Extra good this week have been good ish so am thinking. They may show a gain an as will be my first it's messing with my head abit but it will be. Reet logically I know I could just weigh again sat my morning. For a true reading. But I won't. Lol now. Have. Gone round the houses with my answer. Think Is bedtime. X

Your t looks very nice hun. U use coconut. Oil alot. Randomly does it taste of coconut?

 

[lentil2]

Umm, well I don't think it does really, but then I love coconut anyway!!
I think it depends how sensitive your taste is though!

I prefer using coconut oil as it supposedly has many health benefits and in regards to Calories/syns, oil is oil to my mind

Have you finished your stint of night shifts now.......nice lay in in the morning?

 

[stburgan]

I like really like coconut. So wouldn't bother me lol. Yeah have finished my nights now and. Am on holiday. Which makes it even better lol

 

[lentil2]

Oooo are you going anywhere nice, or just a break from work?

 

[stburgan]

Just a break from Work this time I need it can't wait

 

[stburgan]

Hi have decided to try make a healthy b cereal bar. How much coconut. Oil can u have as a healthy b?

 

[lentil2]

Hi there!

Hope you are enjoying your time off? !!

Strictly speaking Coconut oil isn't on the HE b list but I exchange 1 tablespoon of coconut oil for 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
Coconut oil is generally solid unless it warm but I have made sure that a solid tablespoon of oil is the equivalent of a melted tablespoon!! Yes I am very pedantic about things like that!! lol
Making your own cereal bars? Sounds interesting! let me know how they go...

I haven't been managing to post my menus the last few days as we have been busy finishing off our kitchen that we started 2 years ago!!lol I have been on plan though and am being weighed tomorrow (instead of Monday, just gone)...scales don't look good at the mo but hey, a lot can happen in a day!!

 

[stburgan]

Ah that would explain it then as trying to find coconut oil as a healthy b was sending me batty! ( I don't have that far to go!)
Have decided to adapt a flapjack recipe have most things now so just gonna plat around a bit tomorrow I think.
My hols is going well thanks v relaxing. Good luck with your kitchen and your weigh in x

 

[lentil2]

Ooops sorry about the coconut oil!! I tend to put (tweak) on my menu when I use it so I don't confuse people into thinking its a HE B!!
I must say though...I think it would taste very nice in homemade cereal bars

 

[stburgan]

Lol tis Ok might get some tomorrow make 2 lots and then compare the 2
