Today so far
B:L black coffee
grapefruit
sausage sandwich 3 ww sausages 1.5, 2 slices nimble wholemeal HexB
Snacks:black coffee, costa stem ginger biscuits 14.5, coconut muller light nom coffee made with 1/2 HexA 150ml Sainsbury's 1% milk
D: Smoked Haddock Chowder (included 1/2 HexA 150ml Sainsbury's 1% milk) This was delish
Syns:16
This week:28/105
Recipe for Smoked Haddock Chowder
2 carrots diced
1 large leek thinly sliced
400g smoked undyed haddock
250 ml fish stock (I used a knorr stock pot)
300ml milk (I used Sainsbury's 1% but you could use skimmed)
cup of sweetcorn
2 medium sized potatoes
parsley
pepper
Poach the fish lightly in the milk and stock for a few mins, just so the fish is almost but not quite cooked, then remove and put to one side. Soften the carrots and leeks in frylight then add to the milk and stock with the potatoes and sweetcorn, season to taste and add the parsley.
When the potatoes are cooked, put about a ladle full of the broth and potatoes in a bowl and blend then stir back into the rest of the broth, this thickens it slightly, gently flake the fish and put into broth and heat through for 5 mins, this will finish cooking the fish.
At this point I would say serve with copious amounts of fresh crusty bread but that would be naughty lol!

Today was hard, haven't had dinner yet and I'm starving. First day back at work after 2 weeks off and they put me on a bloomin' 8 hour shift! I usually only work 5 hour shifts and that's long enough to be stood on a kiosk, especially as I don't get a proper break for lunch and my legs and back are usually killing me after 5 hours. Really struggled with food today, felt like caving in and buying myself a huge Easter egg and a multi-pack of walkers lol! Might have some mikados later, really need a choccy fix tonight

Had a bit of a NSV today, tried on my size 16 dress(the one I'm wearing in my Av) thinking there would be no way I would get it on and it fit, it was a snug fit lol! A few more lbs and I will be able to go out in public in it lol! And I went to get a new dress as I have a do to go to on Friday and bought a size 16 dress from Dorothy Perkins in the sale, cost me £17 and it fits ok, not perfect, still a bit snug but it is a more forgiving fabric so I won't feel so restricted in it and it should look fine with some decent scaffolding underneath lol!

Dunno, I keep asking Mark if I look like a tramp in it lol! Also tried on a pair of shoes that made me feel about a foot taller lol! Mark was like 'are you actually going to be able to walk in them' I said I was planning on him holding me up or sitting down for most of the evening lol! I definitely need some kind of slimming underwear under it to smooth it out, going to have a look see if I can find something at a reasonable price.
