Lol sorry for grossing you out. My bf isn't too keen on eating then whole as he can't seem to get the fish out without the bones. Prob will get them filleted next time.
Green day for me today - gonna do my risotto for dinner and I have a cheese salad sarnie for lunch.
I'm still having massive sleeping problems. My bf was snoring so badly from 4:45 and I couldn't really get back to sleep. So another day of struggling to keep my eyes open. Might try sleeping in the spare room tonight to see if a change of scene helps. And ill put fresh sheets on the bed in both rooms in the hope that the smell of fabric softener will help me drift
Off.

what a shame...there's nothing worse!
and isn't it funny how usually, the person who snores...falls asleep 1st!! grrrr.
i kept waking up last night but my head was busy with sh1t from work...i went to sleep thinking about it, woke thinking about it and was even dreaming about it! not worth the hassle but stressing me out a bit!
i'm gonna do EE today, i've taken chicken out the freezer to do something with it for dinner and plan to have sausage and bacon at some point too...c'mon the meat lol
you's got anything nice planned for the weekend?x

I think work is onmy mind too which might be another reason I'm not sleeping well. Hopefully just a short busy period for us both.
I don't have anything much on this weekend. Curry round my sisters tomorrow evening (SW friendly) and that's about it to be honest. I might do some overtime from home and tackle some spring cleaning as well
How about you?!

sorry for the delay with my reply...i couldn't get on here at all last night...thru the computer or my phone....it just kept asking for log in details....everytime i logged on???
not even sure if this'll post...i hope so..lol
no plans for the weekend really. i woke really early this morning but didn't get up and ended up snoozing on and off which was nice...except i'm not up feeling shattered?? lol.
good thing is tho that it's 11.30 and i've yet to "start eating for the day" x

There were a few people who had problems with minimins yesterday hun - I had the same!
Sent the bf out to the pub last night and he stayed at his dads so I could try to get a decent nights sleep. Well....I went to bed at 11:00 after a relaxed night on the sofa. Woke at 4 for the loo and again at 7:30 but I was determined that I was going to get more sleep lol. So I stayed in bed for another hour til I dropped off again and woke up at 11!!!!
So I feel better today and have been up and had scrambled egg on toast with a nice cuppa and a cereal bar (both hexb together oooops!! Lol) food wise for the rest of the day I am planning some SW chips at lunchtime as I can't resist them! Then I will do my veggie risotto for dinner that I didn't have the other day. My other hexa will be cups of tea and I'm not sure syn wise yet. Might have a drink while watching BGT and the voice as I have diet lemonade in - not decided on vodka, southern comfort or pimms yet lol(I sound like a raging alcoholic lol)
I'm just doing all my ironing in front of the tv and having a day at home today. Tomorrow is a shopping day with my sister

oh that'll be good...hope you's get something nice
great to hear you had a good rest...and no...you don't sound like a raging alcoholic lol.
i'm doing green today, had fruit salad and some scan bran cake for breakfast (1/2 HEB) then a cheese toasty for lunch (2nd HEb and HEa) and that's about it...
i'm hungry now but at 4.30...it's too early for dinner (just! lol) but don't know what to have.
spent most of the day sorting out stuff i want to sell on ebay and have another bag for the charity shop...never ending sometimes and listing on ebay's always a lot of work to do the initial listing but its free this weekend so is a good idea to get the stuff i want to put on at a price now and save on the listing fees!
my OH's in bed so i've got the music blaring (as you do lol) on the lap top and having a wee sing song lol x

Oh my god! I found some of those hula hoop crisps you told me about and they are YUMMY!! Really like monster munch but not as greasy. I had the beef ones and I'm converted
Lol. Did you have a nice little boogy?! I aired out the bedroom, turned the mattress and put freshly washed and ironed sheets on the bed. If that doesn't help me sleep nothing will lol.
I'm gonna get up early tomorrow (bf leaves for footy at about 9) and do some more cleaning as I ended up out this afternoon seeing a friend. It's been raining on and off today so couldn't get any washing out so fingers crossed for sunshine tomorrow!!

aren't they good??!! i need to try and get some more....the prawn ones are nice too.
eugh! i'm unconscious today...i went to bed about 11 and eventually fell asleep for a couple of hours....then woke up and wasn't sleeping til after 6am!!!
my OH was awake too by this time and we were so hungry i was trying to persuade him to go to mcdonald's lol. he didn't (which is, of course, better) but i'm famished this morning.
doing EE so need to get something and quick! had to force myself to get up but only cos i figured if i get up shattered, then hopefully it'll be easier to get to sleep tonight instead of sleeping really late then being wide awake tonight! aarrrgggh! lol
good for you on the cleaning....i need to go shopping today....the thought's an effort but once i get sorted, i'll be fine.
i've taken a big beef brisket joint we got ages ago out the freezer to cook tomorrow....it can join the queue for the oven after my usual quiche etc tomorrow x

Ahh I'm so upset! I'm making the pasta quiche thing and it was all going well but I thought I would put salt and pepper in the egg mix and the top of my salt grinder fell off!!! Aghhhhhhh!! I've taken out what extra salt I could and stuck it in anyway but I think it will be really really salty now Will see how it comes out once cooked - I'm cooking it quite slowly - but I hope it's not ruined!
I picked up some of the prawn ones today as well but waiting til tomorrow to try those. Hopefully it my salty quiche for lunch lol. I've done a side salad to go with it as well.
I'm tired again today and trying to keep myself awake and have an early night too. Woke up at 4 and then 7 so its taking its toll!! I know of a few people having trouble sleeping recently so maybe its the change in weather/temp?!

yeah maybe...and for us it's just cold! we were freezing last night...it's been the longest winter ever for us Scots! lol
aww what a shame about the salt! i hope it's not ruined too much....fingers crossed eh!
well i'm not long back from asda...they had the hoops and crosses but they were £1.90!! no way was i paying that but found a 10 pack of beef space raiders for £1 and at 64cals per pack...3 syns is a result!
i know they'll be smaller bags but still...it's gives me the taste...and i suppose i could have 2 of those if i really wanted for the same syns as walkers lights!
will see how they are and be on the look out for the hoops and crosses for £1 again!
had some left over gammon that was in the freezer there for dinner with some boiled potatoes and veg. still have my B choice so i'm thinking about having a hifi later and 1 slice of toast and gonna put some reduced sugar jam on it...not had toast and jam for aaages and the jam is 1 for a tbsp which i thought wasn't bad....plus i'll only use a teaspoon so it would prob just be half anyway...will need to check.
EE for me again tomorrow......got WI so hope it goes well
how's your sister getting on? x

I just had a Taste and it is salty but not so much so that I can't eat it. Ill try the other pack next weekend and not try to be clever with it lol! Have learned my lesson for next time!!
EE for us today as well. I've stuck some lamb chops in the oven to have with roast potatoes and veg and gravy.
Tomorrow is a green day and I'm feeling positive about it. My friend has decided to start following SW as well so that might help me stay on track as I help her learn the plan.
My sister hasn't really been sticking to it tbh. It's such a shame but I'm hoping to prompt her forward by using her holiday in July as motivation. Hard work to get her going but ill try all I can to help her
Good luck for WI hun - how has ur superfree gone this week?!

glad to hear the quiche is edible...on the plus side...you might drink some more water more easily if it makes you thirsty?
shame about your sister...but awkward too cos you don't want to come across like you're "at her" and she NEEDS to be losing weight....we all know how hard it is and i'm sure she'll get on track when it's right for her?
superfree seems to go much better when i'm at work than when i'm off...i did a green day yesterday and only had fruit salad in the morning, i've had fruit and veg today but think the soup etc helps when i do green days through the week as i tend not to have things like that when i'm off...probably cos i'm not eating at the same times.
will just need to see what the scales say and hope for the best...what'll be will be i guess and of course, i've stuck to plan and that's all we can do i guess x

You are right. I was thinking its been ages since I had a superfree soup for lunch so I might make some of that up next weekend. Ill get a bunch of veg in and just do a mixed veg one I think for a change. Ill be working both days so won't have much chance to make anything fancy

yeah it's always handy. i just make the one pot and heat a little bit up each morning to take to work. sometimes i come home with it (then it goes down the sink! lol) other days i have a wee sip here and there when i'm starting to get hungry and if it's before break time when i'm going to eat my square of quiche.
i really need to get some new dishes as the 2 i have are smaller ones and are now sporting huge cracks in them. my OH said i need to do it ASAP (forgot to look today in asda though!) as i'll end up making my stuff and it'll break as i'm putting it in the oven....he's right...that's just my luck! lol.
dinner didn't do very much for me and i had a wee drop fruit salad with a dollop of yog from this morning. had it there with a slice of scan bran cake...i'm really enjoying all of that together and i reckon if i had a big fruit salad and a few pieces (or the half heB's worth) it would fill me better than just the fruit on it's own? might try it...it looks gross when it's all mixed but tastes really nice.
if i have a mini malteser bunny and space raiders tonight, i'll be left with 8 syns....that's a lot eh...i mean, for that i could have a few other things lol. i've got 29.5 syns saved already from through the week...well, not saved, just not used so those plus 8 from tonight....i mean surely i'm missing out??? lol....
don't feel it but i had a fleeting thought earlier of "get using them up!"
i probably won't and seeing as i don't ever use the full 15, i'd probably see a difference if i started but i read on here and the SW facebook page that people use them all and still lose! guess everyone's different...
how many do you tend to average out? i'm about 10 on average and have only been over them once which was when i had some buffet at that doo a few weeks ago x

I think in general you are meant to use up your syns as part of the plan and I have heard of instances where people are only having 3 or 4 a day and aren't losing. As soon as they start using them the weight starts coming off again.
But everyone is different and I would say if you aren't feeling deprived then don't eat them for the sake of it - especially if its gonna be on chocolate and crisps. Why not try using some up in your cooking somehow if you want to use more?!
I prob average about 12 syns a day when I'm on plan 100%. I don't feel like I have been focused properly for ages though. Now that I only have a few weeks til my holiday I am scheduling in some body magic - I have just under three weeks to go. I find that once I'm doing the body magic I stay on plan better so hopefully a few pounds gone before I go.
I had some kiwi fruit that I meant to bring to work with me today but I forgot hopefully it will last til tomorrow - or I may have it as a pudding after dinner. I'm saving a hexa for cheese on top of the risotto tonight to give it extra flavour but brought a big amount of cereal for both hexb's (coco shreddies mmmmmm) lol
Had a better sleep last night thankfully although I had the heating on and bf was dripping sweat all night. Lol. At least I was alright eh?! i did wake up at 2 and then about 5 but managed to get back to sleep. I might have a play with the timer to set it for an hour at about 4am?! Maybe a blast of warm will keep me asleep?!

my OH's the same...he's always roasting and i've tucked in with my dressing gown, pj's and fluffy socks lol.
i ended up having another packet of space raiders and some scan bran before i went to bed so my total was 11.5...not too bad and i was peckish...but not wanting to make anything from scratch.
the space raiders are good...but they are small packets...might be ideal for you to have with your lunch...less syns and still giving you a wee taste?
cooking is on as i type...i bought the garlic and mushroom high veg pasta n sauce yesterday to try....eugh it was horrid and ended up in the bin...so was behind schedule slightly as i had to wait on another packet to cook lol.
have a big beef brisket joint to cook too...actually not sure what the best way to cook it is...any ideas? i know it can be quite a tough meat and i'm not sure whether to slice it all and cook it really low in some gravy? need to have a think.
i wouldn't ever not use any syns i don't think...unless i genuinely didn't have room for anything extra...but for me, i think what keeps me on track, is the fact that i can still have a wee goody cos i think the minute someone says "don't have anything", that's when you want it more...to have the choice is better for me...mentally anyway lol.
how's your day looking today....is it a busy one for you?x

I'm always tucked in with my bed socks and dressing gown too lol. I do like to be cosy although i did feel sorry for bf when he woke up all damp as he had literally been so hot all night! Poor thing!
I do like space raiders but you have to get the multipacks for it to be low syns....the individual packets are more like 5 or 6 syns I think. I have a stock of the hula hoop things now so am having some prawn cocktail ones at lunchtime if I fancy them I am going to try not to have some every day though - I think its a bad habit I have developed so might try and do every other day or something like that. I also brought some special k biscuit moments with me but bf got the blueberry ones instead of choc and im not sure i will like them....but at least I will save 5 syns if I dont!
oh god - i will steer clear of the garlicy pasta n sauce then. doesnt sound worth it at all! Have you ever tried making it using plain pasta cooked in a stock cube and water? I wonder if that would have the same effect as a pasta n sauce?!
Do you have a lot of time to cook today? I would cook the brisket whole but really really slowly so its tender....if not then your idea about slicing it might be a good one. What are you having it with?
I think this week will be busy again as my manager is still off and I amhaving to juggle all his high priority work - but with having a good sleep last night i feel ok so far
what else you cooking up today?

probably have the meat with either potatoes or sw chips and veg.
i've got a gas cooker...do you think gas mark 4 will be low enough?
i wish i'd bought more of the hoops and crosses when they were on offer....the only reason i didn't is because i have skips and the Tayto Whips and literally the shelf was full...kicking myself now! lol.
i don't think i'd use 5 or 6 syns on a standard packet of space raiders...it was nice to have some cos it's been a while and handy that they're so low in syns.
i get what you mean about things becoming a habit. i used to have crisps with my lunch everyday at work...just for....and it was silly.
when i joined WW, that's when it phased out...now i just don't take anything! the only thing i have in my drawers at work are some nuts and seeds (again from ww times lol) and some brazil nuts which have been there a while....but at least i know if i was hungry, i could have one or 2...and it beats going to the vending machine!
the days i'm really hungry at work, i just eat what i've taken...most days i bring some fruit/soup home but it's funny....if i'm hungry, i don't even really consider going to buy something...bonus i guess! but it is really easy to get in to a routine...years ago anytime i had free time at work, i associated it with going to get something to snack on just cos i had time...silly really eh!
just the usual on the cooking schedule for me...quiche's are in now, chickpea dahl next, soup is done then it'll be the meat and i'll make my lunch plus the lunches for tomorrow.
prob just as well i'm off on a monday otherwise i dunno when i'd have it all done around the after school stuff etc x

the days i'm really hungry at work, i just eat what i've taken...most days i bring some fruit/soup home but it's funny....if i'm hungry, i don't even really consider going to buy something...bonus i guess! but it is really easy to get in to a routine...years ago anytime i had free time at work, i associated it with going to get something to snack on just cos i had time...silly really eh!
just the usual on the cooking schedule for me...quiche's are in now, chickpea dahl next, soup is done then it'll be the meat and i'll make my lunch plus the lunches for tomorrow.
prob just as well i'm off on a monday otherwise i dunno when i'd have it all done around the after school stuff etc x
