Thanks Teresa

Here's my actual food for today:

snacks- milk in tea (part HA), banana
D- lentil and veg soup, salad (cucumber, toms, pepper), 1/2 a melon
snack- latte (HA), 6 low syn muffins (HB for 5 scan bran, 1oz of chocolate powder different to the bournville I used yesterday and lower syns at 2.5syns, 1 tbsp golden syrup)= HB+3.5syns
T- quorn bolognese, brown rice and a whole pack of asparagus

snack- hot choc powder (2syns), vlf fromage frais and a handful of raspberries

30mins walk AND body balance class
Total 7.5syns (feels like alot more with all those muffins )

Sneaky peak this morning doesnt even show that I've lost any of the gain from last week, but hey I'm in it for the long haul and the journey is a very bumpy road. In good news I have lost 8 inches (3 from my bust, 2.5 each from waist and hips), this makes me feel great but adds even more mystery as to why the scales arent shifting!

I'd like a loss tomorrow - PLEASE

 

[gobolino]

Weds 10syns, Thurs 9syns, Fri 8.5syns, Sat 11.5syns, Sun 12syns, Mon 7.5syns

Total=58.5syns for 6 days..... thats flipping brilliant for me! Fingers crossed for tomorrows WI

You are doing GREAT at the moment!! GO GOBOLINO!! Fantastic job on the syns and how wonderful to see it reflected in inches. What a boost that must be to you - to know that you are being rewarded for all your efforts. Weird not to see it on the scales, but I'd take the lower dress size over the numbers on a machine I think. Really well done and good luck for tomorrow x

 

[gobolino]

Thanks Beegee!

 

[Derbynanny]

I think sometimes our bodies throw us a curve ball to see if we are serious about the weight loss, frequently this is when people give up. You are doing so well to keep up the battle so eventually you will win !!

Hope the scales at group co operate.

Can you share the chocolate muffin recipe please.

Good luck tonight

Teresa

 

[gobolino]

Thanks Teresa! You're right, I remember you saying that its a test and I really love that way of looking at it, because like you say if you pass the test you WIN !

Here's todays food:
B-28g oats, yog, berries
D-quorn bolognese and brown rice
T-6 crackerbread and 28g cheese (HA HB)
snacks- banana, apple, 2 hot chocolates (4syns), 2x70g apricots (12 syns), milk in tea (HA)
treat tonight- small bowl of seedy museli and weetabix with skimmed milk (syns)

I did have 4 sugar free sweets from Aldi and I'm now considering that I might have an allergy to the sweetener. Literally I had a pregnant type of tummy like a small balloon and horrid horrid pain. Also I probably have too much sweetener in my diet anyway, so perhaps I have slight allergy to all of them

Before weigh in my week in terms of syns looked like this:
10+9+8.5+11.5+12+7.5+10 = 68.5 for the week, it paid off as I lost 3lb this week

Teresa I'll find the recipe for you now, its a sw online recipe low syn chocolate cake but I make it in a 6 muffin silicon baking thing..........will find it now......

 

[gobolino]

11.5syns for the whole thing or 6 @ 2syns each if made in a muffin tin.

5 Scan Bran
3 beaten eggs
1 level tbsp golden syrup
1oz cocoa powder
½ mug sweetener
1. Soak the Scan Bran in boiling water to soften. Then drain and mash.
2. Mix all the ingredients together and pour into a microwavable bowl.
3. Microwave on high for 5 minutes for the muffins (the website says 7mins for a whole cake).

I used cadbury bournville cocoa the first time and they were much nicer than the one I made yesterday. I'm tempted to be brave and make these without the sweetener!

Wednesday:

B-vlf fromage frais, berries, apple, possibly with oats (HB)
snack-milk in tea (HA), more berries (from the garden )
D-out for lunch, jacket potato and beans, salad

T- 42g feta (HA), large salad, couscous with onion, courgette and sweetcorn
pud- ?

 

[Derbynanny]

Well done on your weight loss and thanks for the recipe

[Derbynanny]

I think sometimes we have so much of something our body becomes temporarily intolerant to it. I have found it recently with beans, apples, pears and onions, but if you cut back drasticlally you can then reintroduce it. this may be the case with sweetner

[Beegee]

:happy096: Hooray!! Well done on your fantastic loss - that must make you feel better about things x

 

[gobolino]

Thanks Beegee, damn right I feel better about things Finally I get 'paid' for my hard work - he he.

Teresa you're welcome re: the low syn choc cake. The muffins were literally 5mins in the microwave, so very handy when you have a chocolate craving. My hubby loved them, he ate 4 in the evening, which is a great way of getting lots of healthy fibre into him too- win win situation You may be right about the sweetener, I think I've overdosed on it and it helps to cut it out for a while I think.
