Quorn offer sounds good and Jayde's baked bean mash sounds good too. Might have to have a go of that one. Your menu sounds good too.

Yes, thank you! Will definitely have to look out for these.

Change of plan to food as we had no fruit in whatsoever this morning I'd wrote my food plan from bed and hadn't checked the fruit bowl :giggle:
Brekkie - muller light
Snack - (at tesco) mango slices
Lunch - spaghetti and low low cheese spread (hexa)
Snack - banana and choc philadelphia (4.5 syns) in a wrap (8 syns)
Dinner - chicken burger (2.5 syns) in roll (hexb) with tomato and cucumber
Snack - tomato and cheese (hexa) roll (hexb), grapes and blueberries topped with muller light
Syns - 15 on the dot

Just a quick update as I'm working on our wedding invitations at the moment ...
I'm feeling really miffed :sigh:
I've been really good today, but when I had a shower last night I noticed I was really bloated, it's the wrong time of the month so I was baffled about what it could be. Turns out my body is react to the warmer weather like it does every year (only for a couple of weeks) where I bloat up and get bad fluid retention in my feet. The dr said it should go as I lose weight so am keeping my fingers crossed that next year I don't have to go through this. So the only thing I can think to do is try and drink as much as I can and avoid salty food.
Keeping everything crossed for friday as I really want to see a loss xxx

Going to bed to get my feet up and see how I'm doing in the morning
Plan for tomorrow is to drink at least 3 litres of water if I can, or at least 3 litres of liquid by adding those low calorie sachets to the water
Food is looking like an extra easy day as I don't want to force down the healthy extras if I don't want them -
Brekkie - banana, blueberries and strawberries with muller light
Snack - pineapple slices, 2 babybels (hexa)
Lunch - diet coke chicken wrap (5 syns) with tomato, cucumber and cottage cheese
Snack - melon and mango slices
Dinner - burger in bun (hexb) with salad
Snack - choc mousse (4 syns), ice lolly (2 syns), maybe another muller light depending on how peckish I get

Morning everyone
Going to catch up with everyone when we get to mum's as I'm waiting on an ebay auction to finish :giggle:
My feet feel ok today, not so swollen, but going to keep at it with the fluids and see if that helps even more.
Just packed my food bag for mum's, lots of fruit, salady type stuff and of course two of the 1.5 litre bottles of water that I can keep refilling
Got to tidy up later this week as it looks like we've got Chris' mum and dad here on monday for the day with it being a bank holiday. Thinking of taking them to the local garden centre cafe for lunch as it means I can have something fairly healthy as they do salads etc and I can stick to plan as much as possible. It's got to be better than when they were last over and we went to the chippy in town :8855:

I'm skipping the choc mousse as I decided to have 2 wraps and fill them with the diet coke chicken. I'm having a really hungry day so am switching to red and going to have 2 rolls tonight for 2 x hexb
Will it matter if I don't have my hexa today? I forgot to bring babybels with us and the cheese that I did bring I was planning on making quiche with, unless I can persuade Chris to go to the shop for me :giggle:

The worst thing about having people come to stay is the incessant need to have the house looking immacualte. I think we're all guilty of it. I think it stems from a deep-rooted competitive streak in us all. We all go round staying at other people's houses thinking that these people are so much tidier than ourselves when in actual fact they've just spent the last couple of days doing exactly the same as we would if we were expecting guests. If you want to see how clean someone actually is, pop by unannounced at a random time. It'll keep them on their toes! Lol.
Hope your day is going well Em and you get this fluid thingy sorted out ok.

Thanks Lisa I didn't even bring my milk with me so can't even have that, I'm so dopey today, mind elsewhere and all that :giggle:
Today is going really well thanks Kev, on plan and 2 litres done
Sorting out the cd wedding favours for the ladies today, 6 out of 50 done, it's going so slow. Have found that I'm now obsessed with Jackie Wilson - Reet Petite now :8855:
Ooohhh and I forgot to say, last night when we were sorting through the kitchen we found a bag of choccy and biscuits that my cousin had bought while she was here, I put them in the fridge to bring down here for mum and that's where they stayed, I didn't even get tempted to open them

Well done on avoiding the choccy. I am impressed.
