Getting back in zone, to loose for good!!

Your meals for today look delicious!
I did the Hairy Bikers curry recipe yesterday (from their Mums know best tv series) and it was really nice. Just put only 1 tbsp of oil instead of 3 and really could have done it with just fry light but my husband doesn't like it!
 
I love trying out new recipes, ordered some coconut essence from Ebay and gonna try that out in my curry tonight with some yogurt too :). Kids don't like yogurt, so they'll have coconut cream instead.
 
My consultant gave us a recipe for a Free Vietnamese curry using coconut oil. Was scared I wouldn't like it but it was delicious actually.
 
Morning Tracy

Lots of hugs for later, update when you can, thinking of you xx.

I should get Rhys's test back today, so wll let you know how that went too.

Diet wise today is fine, yesterday meant to savae 5 of my syns for the weekend away, but we had a Signature Dish day at work, so although I made Free Pasta, everyone gets to taste everyone's food.. so here goes, Spicey Rice, Spicy Chicken and a small helping (2 TBSP) of BBQ Lasagne. I think that with the rice, and chicken i'll just count 2 for the oil (if any) and the lasagne, for the sauce although I didn't use my HEA, so I will count that as 2 as well. Then had a Curly Wirly in the eve 5.5, so hey ho.. 9.5 syns gone. I broke my tooth on the curly wirly, so wish I hadn't had that now, and look pretty much like gummy bear, lol. So need to book into Dentist,but can't see any appt now til next week.

Food diary today:

Bfst - Muller light cherry Yog (Free), a pear (SF)
Snack at 10am -Alpen Light Bar -half HEB
Lunch - Mush Pasta & Sauce - free
Snack - Apple and Pear (SF)
Dinner - Pork steak (Free), potatoes (Free), brocoli (SF) and Carrotts (SF) Gravy 2 syns
Desert - Mullerlight Yogurt (Free) and Strawberries (SF)
 
Great news.. Rhys's test came back normal, TG for that!!! No diabetes at all, so he can still apply for the Marines next year like he wanted to do as well.

I think it was down to a poor diet, he used to miss his breakfast (teens eh!! ) and do his sports course at college, sometimes running literally on empty, then cram in fried chicken and chips at lunch, not enough water either. So since the first test, I've prompted daily, to eat breakfast, take money for drinks, eat healthily and hey ho.. its back to normal.

Week 2 of sw, day 4.

Last night's Lasagne was so nice, really thought it was too good to be true though, with the syns being so low (3 a slice). As you only count the cheese sauce.. So jumped on the scales this morn :scale:, I know I know.. shoudln't do that.. but needs must after last night.. what a surprise :D.. Scales have dropped since yesterday. So I am definately a happy bunny today :8855:.

As we aren't going away to Tenerife this weekend with the flight prices so high (£1600 for the 4 of us - plus accomodation - £2050) so.. kind of felt a bit deflated, but one of my friends said that I'd be saving £'s but loosing lb's too.. so feeling a little better now. We will do something, but not sure what. Poss 2 nights in a travel inn and an inside water park with the 2 boys. Still away and I can also carry on being good too. So all is ok..

Food for today:

Bfast - ww vanilla yog(F) and banana(SF)
11's - alpen bar light (half HEB)
Lunch - SW breakfast, 2 rashers of bacon (F), 2 poached eggs(f) and tomatoes (SF), 2 pears (sf).

Snacks - apple(sf) and pear(sf) and toffee ww yog(f)

Dinner - either, SW chicken chow mein(F and SF) (0 syns) or syngapore chow mein from chinese take away (9) and sw sauce (3).

Have carried over 13 syns from yest and Wed night for the weekend, so can afford the extra ones tonight and might go for 2 glasses of wine if I do the take away, or a bottle if I cook it myself. If I don't use them I'll carry them over to tomorrow.

Off to Lakeside to pick up a Tankini I ordered from Next, and take some bits back too. Will stop for black coffee while I'm there or a diet coke.

Going for a 100% day again.. wanna see those scales go down some more and even though I booked next Tue's WI as a hol (as I was going to be away), I might call Consultant and go and WI instead and save that week hols allowance, for another time.

xx

So far, total syns are 2 for today, but do intend of having some wine.. not sure hw many glasses but still have 26 left for it.
 
Not sure why I'm posting, no one comes to see me :( lol.. but here goes..

Felt really emotional last night, kids always have shop pizza's or lasagne's on Sat night -their choice. OH usually joins them in pizza. So thought I'd cook myself a syn free chick biryani and he said he wanted some of that.

Took me time to prepare, marinated the chicken first too and while it was cooking, I made a fun jokey remark to him saying "aren't oyu lucky to have someone who will cook new things for you". He said "its just food and why should anyone fall on the floor and be thankfull for what I've cooked, if they say thanks at the end of the meal, then surely thats enough". I was gob smacked.. pretty choked with that reply.. am I being over emotional? The night before that I'd made chineese at home (all syn free), he had the choice of having KFC with the kids, but opted out.. so did what he liked and asked if he liked it, he said nothing.. Think I need to make a stand.. as feeling unappreciated to say the least.

Now that would have usually sent me over the edge.. and I'd have gone for chocolate or a few vino's.. but resisted, had zilch!! Just pepsi max and fruit salad from tesco's with my alpen light bar. So saved 7.5 syns last night and with the 18 carried over from rest of week, I have 25.5 extra for today, totals 35.5.

Am going to Stoke on trent with kids and OH today, leaving at lunch, bowling and cinema tonight and Aqua World tomorrow, so will use those sys for sure!

Food aims for today:
EE day

bfast - 2 rashers bacon (f), poached egg (f), mushrooms(sf), tomatoes (sf) and beans (f). Banana (sf) and pear (sf)

Lunch - aim for salad of somesort

Dinner - Jacket, Steak and peas in pub
3 glasses of wine (18 syns).

Desert - will share or have a fruit salad :)



There we are, all good so far.. just need to get my happy head on now, lol
