emma-louise's food diary... about time too!

thanks Claire :D when i weighed in this morning (officially) i showed a STS which i am very happy with considering my naughty weekend!! its been my first week without a loss so i feel a bit strange not having to update my info/sig/challenges but on the positive side at least it wasnt a gain :) xx
 
Glad to hear you had such a lovely weekend, and all those meals out!! Well done for staying so restrained.
A well deserved STS xx
 
Well done on the STS!!
it might even pay off that you had a few days off, to get another brilliant 'first' week as though you were just starting SW??!

Well done on passing your first year at uni too - that's what the first year is all about, having fun and just scraping 40 in your modules ;). I did French and Politics as my degree and know that lots of the politics modules sound interesting but turn out to be veeeery booooring - you'll know which lecturers to avoid now anyway!! :) :)
 
thank you everyone :D xxx

ahhh smoked mackerel for some strange reason (?) is synned, not sure exactly how much but i had a fair sized bit and im am assuming from that that smoked trout would be synned too - but not 100% just want to be safe!! plus i had some crab and prawn "salad" which has mayo in it and stuff so just trying to be careful really! but yes, most seafood is free, and superspeed :D xx

brekkie: marmite on wholemeal toast (HexB) plus 2 syns for low fat spread

lunch: veggie chilli and cous cous (2 syns)

I lasted 10 seconds with the golf, SNAP! with period pain - I have the implant in my arm and 99% of women don't have periods why do I have to be the 1% that do!!! lol!

Made the chicken cake it was lovely but a bit dry next time I am going to make a gravy and serve with cauliflower cheese, but highly recommend!
 
aww thanks donna! im glad the chicken cake was nice im thinking of trying it but im not sure the rest of the family would eat 1/2 syn sausages... :rolleyes: might try it with a layer of homemade stuffing through the middle instead? good luck for WI this week xx
 
Funny enough the WW sausages tastes a bit like stuffing, as I was eating I was thinking omg an aunt bessies (or 10) stuffing balls would be lovely squished up in this! I don't think family would notice we are all sausage sandwich lovers - and even my 10 year old wolfed the chicken cake down - what about if you halved recipe and had it for tea and lunch?
 
i might have to try the WW ones then, i usually get sainsburys and i know its cos theyve got less fat in them but they always seem really dry and dont taste of much :( i think ive decided im gonna do homemade stuffing and put that in and see how it goes down with the family, i cant really justify using all that chicken just for me - pennies don't allow unfortunately!! :rolleyes: xx
