Help needed for 1st day......

[xmisskx]

yeah....but i've also seen that people use those big tubes of pasta you can get (can't remember the name - maybe canelloni or however you spell it? lol) and fill it so they're like spring rolls too?

i left work early but been non stop since running about here and there and trying to get my laptop repaired....its in now but god knows what the outcome will be...money involved no doubt x

 

[sparty]

Anything needing fixing is bound to need more money than you can afford hope its not too bad.

I never thought of the pasta tubes (you're right it is cannelloni) but can't see how they would crisp up?! Ill give filo a try and see if its any good. I'm gonna do prawn ones I think

I made some in Thailand last year on a cookery course I did so I can adapt that recipe. Here is a pic - they were yum!

 

[xmisskx]

ooh they look yummy

google the pasta ones and see how others do it...maybe they boil them 1st to soften? i dunno lol

how was your dinner? x

 

[sparty]

It looked like this.......,






And it was actually really tasty! Took ages to cook so if I do it again it will do it on a day off when I have more time. Bf wasn't over keen as he likes my normal lasagne lol

 

[xmisskx]

looks good chick....and LOADS of superfree x

 

[sparty]

I know!! I really overdid the superfree but I'm trying to get loads in this week to boost my losses. Hope it doesn't backfire on me!

How was your dinner tonight? Is your laptop all fixed now?!

 

[xmisskx]

nope, it's still away...got guy number 2 looking at it

as for the backfiring...yep, i'm sure it'll do you wonders, especially after you've been away....plus you'll get def get some backfiring........in some way or another lol x

 

[sparty]

Nearly just spat out my tea at that comment lol

 

[xmisskx]

hehe...the joys of healthy eating eh lol

hows you're food going today?
so far i've only had fruit salad, a bite of quiche and a sausage for half a syn...dunno what lunch will be but i've got chicken out for dinner and thinking chicken and bacon salad with roast potatoes and some tesco's e/l choices honey and mustard dressing (0.5 syns per tbsp)
think that would be quite nice?x

 

[sparty]

Oooh that's sounds delicious! I've had cereal bars and fruit for brekkie, the last of my BNS soup, crisps, carrot sticks and philly and a yoghurt for lunch. Just about to eat my mango and then nothing more for me til dinner

Dinner is fish today - one I haven't tried before called 'Baka'. I'm going to do it with roasted carrots, BNS, courgettes and peppers. Need to make sure I eat plenty as I'm out tonight for my sisters bday and will be drinking. Only 4 syns so far today so I can have 4 vodka and cokes (I also have 7.5 syns I haven't used yet as a fall back if I want)

Do you have a busy bank holiday weekend ahead?!

 

[xmisskx]

not really....i might be going out later myself but only for a wee while if i do...and if i can find something that bloody fits me!! grrrr...bitter sweet i guess but grrr all the same!

i've suggested the pics for me and the OH tm seeing as we've not doing anything for a while...will see how that goes but no other plans really x

 

[sparty]

Hey just checking in quickly. Having a good bank holiday so far. We had a wedding yesterday and I was on driving duty - which was working out great for SW until the car broke down on the way there!!

Had to abandon it at the side of the road and arrange lifts so we ended up missing the ceremony I think it's gonna be really expensive and I let that (and the free bar) sway me off track massively.

Back on plan today though - no hangover excuses! I'm gonna cook up a nice fry up once I have got back from picking up my poor car with my dad

Hope your bank holiday is looking better than mine so far. At least the sun is shining eh??

 

[xmisskx]

ooh no! what a nightmare!
cars are great...when they're going....do you know anyone that could do the work on it...maybe for more cheaper than somewhere else?

weekend's been good actually, was out for a couple of hrs on fri (drinking diet coke) and went to the pics last night then for a quick drink afterwards - again, just a juice for me.

have woken up today feeling like i've been hit by a bus...think it's the late nights to be honest.

planning a red day for today but i got some square sausage in for my OH and i REALLY want that on a roll...a white roll, for breakfast. not sure what i'll decide but would mean a trip to get roils so not sure what i'll decide....

weather's not as nice as yesterday here but only really got shopping planned so i guess it doesnt matter hehe.

hope you managed to get your car sorted chick....wee shame x

 

[sparty]

Luckily my dad works for a car repair firm so I always get any work cheap and often only pay for parts. It's still annoying to have an unexpected expense though - I haven't got savings I can use but luckily my overtime should cover it. I need to start putting some money aside but it's been difficult up to now.

Bf is starting work for a new company this week and its more money so he can afford to give me some money each payday for a while to pay down bills and save.

Sure it will all work out but I'm more upset we ended up missing the wedding we were on our way to the reception was great and the weather was perfect. Been lovely and warm down here all weekend so far and today looks like a scorcher!!

 

[xmisskx]

lucky you's...it's windy and rainy here today

oh i know what you mean about the unexpected expense....and such a shame about the wedding. i hate when things like that happen and you can't control them

great news on your OH...has he stopped self employment altogether or is it like a contract for a firm?

not long had my fruit salad for breakfast....dunno what day i'm gonna do today...need to think what's for dinner then base it on that i think. just made my OH 2 rolls on square sausage and didn't have as much as a taste!
we forgot rolls yesterday so he got a couple from the shop and they looked delish but glad to say i didn't sway

WI for me tonight...not sure what to expect but after staying the same last week, a 2lb loss would give me my 2 stone so that would be good...will need to wait and see i guess x

 

[sparty]

Hey. How was WI?! I've had a really bad weekend with food and booze so I'm disappointed with myself a bit. i need to WI but I'm scared after my bad weekend

I'm going to finally get the magazine today when I walk into town to pick up my description. It's about a 45 min walk each way so the body magic will be good. I'm hoping to get the car back today and got the credit card at the ready cannot wait for payday as ill have to make do with what I have in until then!

It's raining and miserable here today so you obv sent your weather my way. We were really lucky with the weather over the weekend though (I caught the sun on my face and chest) so no complaints from me.

I had a bacon roll for breakfast and will have leftover BBQ for lunch. Dinner is going to be chilli.

Bf's job is still self employed but with a new contractor who has a lot of work going forward. It's further away and there will be more travel costs but its good that he will be working for the foreseeable future now

 

[xmisskx]

that's great news....and a relief that you know he'll have work for a bit eh.

WI p1ssed me right off...you know i try to be as up beat as possible even when i have gains cos i stick to plan and never stray from it so after last week's STS, i expected to see something a better result...that the 2lbs gain that i had????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm ok today and so over my whinge...but it's not fair that some people can kick the backside out of it and see constant losses, but yet i NEVER go off plan and always think ok, it is what it is!
anyway, still being 100% and gonna keep doing what i've been doing to hopefully get a good loss next week...if not, i'll have a look at things i could change.

the only thing i did different last week was have a couple of more EE days than usual but not stressing cos i don't think THAT justifies a gain...of 2lbs anyway!
so onwards and upwards eh...well, downwards is what we want on the scales and will make sure i keep at the superfree.

meant to ask, did you try the ryvita minis yet?
i'm in green today and used my HE's on oats and a pkt of those for a wee change again...they're yummy!

sorry if we passed the weather to you lol...it's been dry today but not really sunny and at least the wind has disappeared for now x

 

[sparty]

Ahh how annoying that WI got to you. It's easy to say don't let it and just carry on because you know you are doing it right. But I can understand your frustration. All I can say is good for you for not giving up and letting your control slip. See what happens next week - make sure you keep an accurate good diary as well so you can check back. Maybe up the superfree a little?!

I'm going to have to abandon being fully on plan until payday on Friday and use up what is in. Luckily I have enough meat in the freezer and lots of noodles etc in the cupboard so it won't be too bad. Got some frozen veg too so it won't be too bad a week.

Yeah it's great news about bf's work. The extra money will be great as long as we don't waste it lol.

 

[xmisskx]

easier said than done though eh...always something to creep in and spoil the plans...like the car! lol

i'm gonna do exactly that...keep up the food diary (as always lol) then i can look back over it (again) to see if there's anything that's obvious....for now though, i'll just stick to what i've been doing seeing as it's got me this far already.

sounds like you'll be ok if you've got the basics in already...just need to be clever with how you use them i guess x

 

[sparty]

Morning. God I'm tired today! Woke up at 2am for the usual toilet break and had to turn the tv off as bf had fell asleep in front of it!! Then had to get up early because of having no car (luckily got a lift to the station) so today is gonna be a long day!

I've got leftover Thai from last night with salad for lunch for a change so today will be EE. What's your plan?
