Helen's quest for good health!

[HPSaucy]

Hi Caroline I've had a look and on Red, Green & EE 57g is a HEA and on a Green day 57g is also a HEB... Enjoy x

 

[HPSaucy]

Forgot to say the chilli one is not included in the HEA and HEB and I can't find it listed in the syns online for some reason x

 

[CarolineJ]

Hiya, thank you for looking, I might have to have a green day soon - I could have loads! Added to my shopping list for next trip! x

 

[HPSaucy]

I know I was thinking the same thing! Haven't done a green day since being back on SW (did it years ago before EE), I'm lazy though and always have EE even though I could probably have more to eat if I bothered working it out!

 

[CarolineJ]

I'm exactly the same, last did SW years ago when it was just red or green! EE is just so easy though isn't it and I think it helps me limit my bread, otherwise I can be a bit of a bread monster, especially with freshly baked loaves! I have been known to eat half a big loaf in one day before.

I just don't think I can be bothered to think about red or green days anymore!

 

[HPSaucy]

Mmmm freshly baked bread, don't think anything tops it.. That's what I really miss above anything else, coming home with a still warm loaf, cutting a slice, a big slice and just tearing it apart and eating it with nothing on it, would have loved a bread machine but couldn't trust myself! X

Hubby wanted a bread maker for ages but we never got round to it so when we started SW and he nagged for an actifryer I gave in.

Way better than a bread maker

We use it almost every day!

I was looking at those actifryers but because they are so expensive I'm in two minds as not sure whether we'd make use of it, what do you cook in yours? X

 

[HPSaucy]

Quite promising as I don't feel too bad today, yesterday was in a lot of pain and nothing seemed to help.

Have been looking through recipe books this morning trying to come up with recipes that are adaptable to SW.

We got ours from Makro for £99 and it's worth every penny.

Since we picked loads if bns and are still working through it all it's mostly bns chips or chunks and it's SO yummy

They're £100 on Amazon at the moment, for the white one. Was looking at getting one, but have noooo room for one at all!

Our toaster got relegated for the actifryer as we rarely have toast now

I was thinking the same thing about space but we couldn't possibly relegate the toaster as its delonghi, red and matches the kettle.. Love it! (even though we don't use it every day lol!)

The piri piri chicken was quite nice, quite hot though

I love our toaster. It's a pink 6 slice duilitt and it's lovely but it had to go away for the actifryer

Received an email from the physio I went to see when I was in Cornwall, I'd asked him to send me an invoice and he asked how my back/hip was, I sent one back saying not great etc and he replied saying he thinks I really need to get my GP to send me for an X-ray, ultrasound, MRI! Exactly the same as the physio I'd been seeing privately here had said.. Pity the NHS don't think the same!

Also in 2 weeks I'm supposed to be going to Boston but looks like that could be off as I can't use staff travel whilst off sick so depends what happens when I see the Doctor on the 9th, don't want to let my friends down either as we've had it planned for months.

Wednesday 2nd November

Breakfast: 2x wholemeal toast (HEB), low low cheese spread (1/2 HEA), baked beans

Lunch: mustard mushroom and beef (0.5) with jacket potato

Dinner: pan fried scallops (3.0) with sticky rice (4.5)

Total syns: 8.0
