awww it's ok hun, no rush

the quiche I made last night was adapted from the cheesey tuna one in the recipes you gave me it was super yummy, I can see me making it more often as it's a perfect thing to snack on during the day

Good morning em, have a fabulous Monday, hope the scales are kind to you today xx

thanks hun, I think I'm 2lbs up at least, but with my food plan for this week, I can't see it being there long

 

[EmmyR1984]

I am absolutely shattered :sigh:

It was the last night at mum's last night as my brother's gf is back today, and of course the cats decided to play up.

I honestly think I was awake every hour at least if not more. And decided to call it a day about half an hour ago when one of the cats had brought a magpie in!!! She's only a little thing so it was quite funny to see her wrestling with it :giggle:

I did rescue it though and it flew off across the road and perched in one of the trees opposite the house, so it seems ok

Going to let myself wake up a bit more and then go and weigh in

I was right, 2lbs on this morning.

Am back on it this morning though. Brekkie has changed because there's no fruit in other than grapes and I'm starving. I'm having 2 mullerlights and a big bunch of grapes and that should keep me going until lunch time

That's what I'm telling myself too so I don't feel too bad about it, and I'm still over a stone lighter than I was at the beginning of the year

Sorry to hear about your gain hun. It'll be gone this time next week no bother and I love your attitude to it. Very positive and that's on limited sleep, well done you.

Hope you have a good day.

:wavey: afternoon everyone

I'm spending the afternoon cooking now that I'm at home. Got a bolognese sauce on at the moment and then going to attempt mushroom soup later If I don't do the soup I'll have tuna salad as I didn't have any tuna at lunch time so I'll still be within my syns

Once this is done I'm going to go and have a nice long soak in the bath as I've been dying for a bath for the past fortnight but been having to stick to showers

Loving positive Emm being back. The quiche is one of those things thats trial and error sweetie. Yours looks lush. I use a normal tub tesco value cottage cheese (0 syns) 3 or 4 eggs depending on size of dish, I always put bacon, onion in mine and then once i've put the mix in the dish I slice a tomatoe over the top and then grate some strong cheese. Its probably 6 syns of cheese in whole quiche. I find by putting it on the top you get the cheesy taste as you bite into it I still make this as all mine eat it

 

[EmmyR1984]

Thanks hun, I have to say I was really impressed with how it turned out as I was expecting it to be a bit yuck or sink :8855:

Mushroom soup is simmering away at the moment, another 10 minutes and I need to liquidize it, then I think I might make another quiche tonight for lunch tomorrow Quiche is going to be a staple in my food plans now, just think I might experiment with different fillings and flavours

 

[EmmyR1984]

This is my mushroom soup

There isn't much in the bowl as I wanted to freeze 2 portions of it and managed to knock one of the freezer bags over :8855:

I think I'm going to have a banana, peach and some cherries later one as I'll probably get hungry

But, I do have to say ... it was soooooooo good :drool:

 

[shenzi]

How did you make it em? Ive been looking Everywhere for a decent mushroom soup recipe!

 

[EmmyR1984]

I used Pete's recipe hun the mushroom one is the 3rd recipe down

http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/250434-petes-recipe-book.html

I did add way more mushrooms though (probably about 400g worth) as I wanted it to be a thicker soup than my onion soup was last time I made it. I've never really made soup before and was really impressed with how well it turned out.

 

[Chipmunk89]

Too bad about the gain, but at least there's a reason for it an you're now in the right place to move on from it and get it off!

 

[EmmyR1984]

Omg, I can't believe how good it felt to get a night sleep in my own bed last night Back at mum's tonight while Chris is on night duty, but I'm coming home tomorrow night on my own as I want to do some housework on thursday.

I'm going to have a green day today as I want to make another veggie quiche tonight and have it with some chips and want it as cheesy as possible. So far food plan is looking like this

Brekkie - banana and muller light
Snack - apple
Lunch - Ham and tomato sandwich (1 hexb and 5 syns for flora spread and ham)
Dinner - veggie quiche (2 x hexa) and chips
Snack - Fibre plus bar (hexb) and quavers (4.5 syns)
Total syns planned - 9.5

I was going to ask Chris to get me some flavoured water from Morrisons, this is one of the flavours that I used to drink. Does anyone know if it would be syn free?
