I'm always late at posting (or ridiculously early when I'm an Early shift), hope you're having a good day x
 
Had a bit of an awkward day as electrics off most of the day as having work done, back on now but no tv, engineer should be coming tomorrow, wouldn't usually worry me but off work because of my back and was quite looking forward to lying on the floor relaxing my back catching up on everything I've missed. Also had to wait ages for my lunch as I defrosted risotto from freezer and then couldn't heat it up in microwave due electrics! I didn't plan that very well, in fact once I had the risotto I remember how nice it was and considering making one tomorrow to take to taster evening.

Wednesday 5th October

Breakfast: beans on toast (HEB)

Lunch: BNS risotto (2.0)

Dinner: hunters chicken (HEA) & potato wedges

Snacks: apple, banana, ham, cherry tomatoes

Total syns: 2.0

What recipe do you use for your bns risotto? We did it the other night but syn free :)

I used the one on Slimming Eats but looking again at recipe today it shouldn't be 2.0 it should be 0.5 plus HEA, I got it out of the freezer and can only assume it's because Mark only eats "proper" butter (I only have it rarely in recipes) so the syns would have been higher but it was scrummy and well worth 2.0 syns.

When I make it again tomorrow I'll check the syns again, which recipe do you use?

Hubby made it up as he went along! He used chicken oxo ti cook the rice with and stirred in quark as the end. The bns was cooked in the actifryer in small cubes and mixed in after. We try to cook without using syns if poss x

Complete opposite to me! I end up putting syns in my food a lot of the time as I used to find I was so full up with free meals I didn't use any syns and when I had syns my weight loss was better.. However this might bite me on the bum now I can't exercise at the moment.. We'll see tomorrow!

Wow Didn't realise American Pancakes were a HEB? Is there a certain brand type or are any ok??

Welldone on Avoiding the High Syn Desert - Not sure i'd have the WillPower I would have had it then punished myself the next day with no syns (would have just made it two days worth!)

P.s I think I'm coming to WI with Ann next week.(13/10/11). Will have to be either the 3:15 or 5:15 as due at my friends for dinner at quarter past 7. Will you be there?

Hi Hannah, they were from Brittmums Slimming Eats website, used a readybrek sachet with egg, sweetener and yoghurt, they turned out really well (although hubby prefers normal shop bought ones.. These were a compromise!)

I usually go to the later group however I might be able to get to an earlier session next week as I'm on Nights, might see you there.. If I can remember what you look like lol! You should come tomorrow as we've got taster night.
 
Made a pea & ham soup today for lunch tomorrow, not quite sure about it but will give my verdict tomorrow!

Roll on weigh in, really want to have lost as been good all week but just don't know!

Had quite stodgy things today so hope that doesn't catch up with me tonight, I didn't even think about that until just now.. Does anyone else "lighter" food on wi day?

Thursday 6th October (Sick)

Breakfast: American style pancakes (1/2 + 1/2 HEB)

Lunch: pea & ham soup

Dinner:

Snacks: naproxen, tramadol & lansoprazole!!

The recipe this morning seemed to make loads (or maybe I should have made the pancakes bigger!) so am taking half to taster night tonight, also have made a BNS risotto to take and some syn free BBQ sauce.

Went to Dr's this morning who prescribed me stronger anti inflammatories, painkillers and antacids.. I swear I'll rattle if I got shook!
