How was weigh in?

 

[donna88]

I stayed the same (by some miracle, although probably due to the fact that I haven't lost for a while when I deserved too) so I'm very happy. Hopefully will see a loss this week, will be happy with any loss as well, even if its only half a lb at least it would be in the right direction. I'm going to stick with the whole thing where I'm happy as long as I stay in my target range now.

How did yours go?

donna what exactly is rice pudding? the idea of it puts me off but think if its syn free its worth a bash?

 

[donna88]

It's lovely, did you never have it as a child?

You can buy it in tins, but that's really creamy and so not free.

I buy pudding rice (but some people do it with short grain) you can get pudding rice from asda, morrisons and tesco's (probably everywhere to be fair) I boil it on the hob in boiling water with some vanilla or almond essence (again whatever essence you fancy will work) and sweetener, takes between 15 and 20 minutes depending on how much I'm making. I then mix it in with some yogurt to make it a bit creamier, it lasts ages as well in the fridge, I usually make a batch and heat it up in the microwave when I'm ready for it (I always add the yogurt just before eating) its lovely with fruit mixed in. Some people use their HEA of milk instead of water but I've never tried it like that, I like it with the water so don't see the point in using my HEA up. I sometimes add a bit of mixed spice or cinnimin when making it as well

 

[debtin]

like ambrosia rice? i like that..just the thought of it i think is putting me off lol no doubt will be asking more questions ha

 

[donna88]

yeah its like that


Just had loads of wholemeal bread with lunch... it was homemade and warm although it is my off plan-ish day so may forgive myself. At least some of it would have been a healthy extra.

breakfast - sausages (1 syn) bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans and fried eggs
Lunch - undecided on lunch at the moment, will see what I fancy
Tea - chicken and bacon carbanara
Snacks - 8 mikado sticks (4 syns) bakewell hifi bar (HEB) milk in drinks (HEA) fruit

Gained half a lb at WI... this takes me to 9 stone 3, exactly 3lbs above my target. I'm very happy I got through these two weeks without leaving my target range, but I now have two weeks with no plans which should make me gain until its my brothers Birthday (pizza planned) and a half marathon the following week (with free cookies and brownies after) so hoping for a loss both those weeks, not going to worry about how much of a loss, will be happy with anything as long as its a -


Tomorrow I have a race and need to set off around 5.40 to get to it, so we're having a big meal for lunch and I'll just have a snack before going and then tea will be something which I would have had for lunch.... not 100% decided on food plan yet though.... so will update tomorrow when I have a better idea
