I love filling up with peppermint tea too!

I stopped drinking regular tea about a year ago when I realised I couldn't last a whole meeting without a comfort break! Now I have 3 mugs of green tea (for the caffeine) then move onto peppermint- drink loads of it

Ok so yesterday I got wind that some friends were planning a wee surprise afternoon tea & fizz for me (they don't know I'm doing sw) as a birthday treat
Glad I found out beforehand, switched to mix of fasting/cc for the day and getting right back on sw today.

I forgoed breakfast and had a small bowl of homemade lentil soup and a bowl of berries about 2.30. My lovely friend dropped off a 3 tier cake stand with sandwiches, cakes and scones and a bottle of fizz on the doorstop to have during a zoom call after work
I felt so touched and very loved. Really determined to get back on sw today and we'll see where I'm at at wi tomorrow. I did a sneaky wee wi yesterday morning once I found out and I'd actually went up to 71.9kg after sticking to religiously to sw so who knows where I'll be tomorrow.
Estimated my cc for yesterday using mfp as just under 1700. Off out to do my body magic couch to 5k now

It’s been a while since I had some peppermint tea.
When I was a teen I used to use an old coffee press to act as a filter for grated ginger and used that infusion for the peppermint tea lol.

How lovely of them!

I have the same thing with normal tea (can barely make it back from the school run without being desperate for a wee) but I need the caffeine. Do you find green tea doesn’t have the same effect?

It doesn't seem too, it's a bit of an acquired taste but you soon get used to it.

That sounds nice, might give it a try

 

[Fitatforty1]

So planned sw friendly celebration meal today.
B - nothing (still full up from last night!)
L - lentil soup and berries
D chorizo and scallops followed by Eton mess 15.5 syns
Lots of fluids
Body magic - couch to 5k and a long walk

 

[Strawberry Madness]

I’ve never scallops before, they look delicious what do they taste like and the texture?

 

[Fitatforty1]

They were really good, bit hard to explain. Soft slightly meaty texture and crisp seasoning on outside. You only cook for 1 min each side max depending on how big they are. Used 6 syns for chorizo and cooked all the veg and scallops in the same pan (separately) so no need for any other oil/fry-light. It was so tasty.

Dinner and dessert look yummy

I know it’s disappointing when the scales move up but at least you are aware of what might of caused it.

Your foods looks delicious as always.

Keep up the good work

Thank you, needed that. I've given myself a wee pep talk. I lost the first couple of weeks when I was 100% on plan with no alcohol and using my syns for meals I'd previously cooked with oil etc that were in the freezer. Think I need to go back to using syns daily for proper food rather than having some days and not others and using for treats or alcohol. We'll see what this week brings
