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

i really enjoyed it...i do like coronation chicken but would never chose it as a filler or anything and i'd def pick out the bits and bobs that come with it when it's shop bought so this was a nice change.

i dunno how many syns are in a proper bag of maltesers but i think the funsize ones are ok for 5....if you sook them then they last longer lol

treat tonight is a fun size mars and some crisps and total syns for the day 10.5

i had a sneaky WI to see if i was down any from monday (i know, i know lol) and i'm not!!????!!

i really never ate 14000 calories over to justify 4lbs and was ok with it cos i thought it would just be bloat and expected to see something a bit more positive but i didn't :(

i know it's unofficial and there's still 4 days til i step on the class scales but it's got to me a bit :( x
 
sorry i am replying to this so late - this is the first chance i have had to reply properly.

aww hun dont let it get you down. you KNOW you havent eaten enough to make the 4lb justified and you still have the whole weekend to show a loss. It doesnt count til WI (you are right there) but it doesnt make you feel good. Have you thought about doing a few red days or trying success express to get rid of some bloat? Are you drinking enough water?

Chin up and carry on - look at the bigger picture of how much healthier you are, how much you have lost and the fact that you ONLY ever gain on star week. youhave done so well - i have so much respcet for your will power and positive attitude. Kick this 4lb in the butt - give some real welly over the weekend and wait to see what happens on Monday.

and no more sneaky WI's Mrs!!!! :)
 
lol...i know.
and you're right about everything you said...i think i just expected it to be slightly less but hey ho, we'll see what happens on monday.

made coconut quinoa pudding this morning (from slimming eats) and to be honest, it's a bit sickly for me. it tastes too much like porridge for me to waste syns on a chocolate options sachet but i wanted to try it cos it's got more protein in it than just pudding rice.

i used the koko milk stuff from my HEa too....didn't think that was anything special either lol. i'm just a plain and simple kinda gal i think.

doing green today and thinking about making the cheese and onion pasty thing with wm pitta for dinner. tesco had them on offer at 75p so i got some...and i'll freeze the rest (unlike all the other times i didn't and they went to waste! lol)

how's your day been today? you gonna have to work over the weekend?x
 
No work for me this weekend :) well maybe Sunday for a few hours at home but tomorrow I am off to Alton towers for the day.

I'm going to try really hard - which will
Indeed be hard since the people I am sharing lifts with are already talking about McDonalds breakfasts lol. I will resist!!! I am taking an apple and cereal bar with me for breakfast and will have a skinny cappuccino at Starbucks for my hexa. I'll take another apple for a snack later on.

My plan is to persuade people to go to either the grill place or pasta place. Then it will be 6 syns for oil on a tomato based pasta or a few syns for oil on some plain chicken and jacket potato. That's the plan anyway so hopefully I will be ok. I might also take my other bag of flying saucers for 5 syns if they all get deserts.

No idea about dinner but possible linda mc sausages for quickness. Or I'll buy stir fry veg just in case this evening - that's a better idea I think.

My day has been ok - glad it's the weekend though. Just fancy a simple dinner tonight so gonna do egg and SW chips. Might use some syns for a bit of bread and make a butty :) if not I'll have a cuppa and treat later on.

What's the cheese and onion pasty thing?! Sounds tempting......
 
oh aye, i forgot about alton towers.

good luck if they all get mcdonalds breakfast...and you don't...i'd need all the luck in the world lol.

the pasty is peel and cube some potato, chop onion and blast them in the microwave until they're mashable then mix in your HEa of grated cheese and stuff it into a wm pitta and bake in the oven for a bit.
it was Amy on here that gave me the recipe and ok, it's not greggs but... it's as near as one we'll get guilt free lol
yum! x
 
Sounds interesting. Might give that a go one day :)

We are on our way - alarm went off at an ungodly hour this morning. Not stopped for breakfast yet but I brought my stuff so I am prepared.

Got much planned today?!
 
well...i did have..but i spent last night bickering with my OH about feckin money and cars...the usual! *sigh* and he's gone out.

had planned to be out and about 1st thing...but it's not happened.

great news that you're all sorted for your day, i can imagine how early you's had to be ready but bet you's have a fab time and don't stress too much about your food plan ;) x
 
Well I'm pleased to report I didn't do too badly at all!! Breakfast was skinny cappuccino, grapes and a hexb cereal bar. Lunch was a jacket potato and chilli (no butter) and then all I had for the rest of the day was a teeny ice cream and some penny sweets. Thought I may as well give myself a sweet treat while I was there. :)

Everyone else had burgers, hotdogs and pancakes but I literally just jumped on the jacket potato shop when we passed it and had my lunch there and then lol.

The day was a bit of a let down otherwise - queues were stupidly long. The group got split up and we hardly managed to get on any rides. Plus it's such a long drive that we didn't get home til about 2am lol! We won't be going again that's for sure!!

Sorry to hear you had a rubbish day :( hope it didn't spoil your whole day in the end. Maybe go out today instead?! The weather is better here today but apparently we are having a massive storm tonight with 70mph winds!!!
 
aww that's a shame that the day wasn't what you'd hoped...but a big well done for managing to stay on plan!!!

i ended up just going out myself yesterday, just to the shops but it saves me going today and meant i didn't end up staying in all day!

oooh hope we don't get that stormy weather here! lol

what's you plan for today?x
 
Sleep!! I'm not going to do much today because I'm so tired after yesterday. I've done a load of washing and I'll wash up in a bit but otherwise I plan to stay on the sofa and veg in front of the tv. Lol.

I've just had bacon, egg, tinned spaghetti and a toasted WM roll for breakfast so I'm good now til dinner time lol.

What's on your plan for today!?
 
oh that sounds nice!

it'll be EE for me today depending on what i have at dinner time i think.

i've just made a pot of the quinoa pudding stuff again (really just to use it and the koko milk up lol)
when i made it on friday, i thought it was a bit sweet for me (cos of the white options sachet) so thought today, i'll double everything then it means it'll only be 1/2 per portion and not as sweet...fail!
waste of time(and syns) putting the options sachet in cos the more milk i added, the less you could taste it and in the end, i had to add some sweetener!

so annoying cos i really could've done it without!

aww well, done now and i had some there with chopped strawberries, a few blueberries and a few slices of banana.
i was reading about it (didn't know it was pronounced keewah for a start! lol) and it's good for you - lots more protein, iron and vitamins so at least that's a bonus.

i'm not sure i'd go out of my way to buy/make it again but at least i tried something different.

fancying the coronation chicken again and i had planned red cos i was gonna have it with toasted pitta bread for lunch, which i guess i still can, but just means my HEb is over and done with by then.

i picked up some lean cubed bacon in asda yesterday. it was only £1 and looking at the pack, there's prob more bacon in it than if you cut up a pack of bacon! (i only use the medallion) so it seemed really worth it and no faffing about trimming fat off!
def wish i'd got more so might have a look and see if it's still on offer next time i go (it was the butchers selection stuff too!)

no rain so far here today but really windy so that storm you mentioned might make sense here too lol x
 
Shame about the quinoa hun - I hate when you try something new and it doesn't work :(

I've had a nice snuggle and nap on the sofa for a couple of hours with bf and now he has gone to watch football at his dads. So I'm going to make a nice cuppa and chill out (because today has been soooooo stressful so far hahahahahahaha) then do some washing up.

Loving my lazy day today - I'm gonna do this every Sunday lol.

The bacon bits sound nice. I hate having to faff around cutting it all off. Got some nice lean chicken breasts out the freezer to have as a mini roast for dinner later on. Need to start prepping for next week as well.

Tomorrow is going to be a horrid day - I've got a debate in parliament at 10pm so it's going to be a loooong day. Me and my boss are going to go for dinner so I think EE is the way to go for me to be flexible. No idea where we are going but it could be the gourmet burger kitchen. There isn't going to be anything low syn I can have there :(
 
good for you on the lazy day...i think it's well deserved after the hrs you put it and as for dinner tomorrow...there might be an ok option if they burgers are grilled....then you could count for just beef mince instead of extra lean?
or maybe they'll do a grilled chicken thing?

isn't it WI day for you tomorrow? you could always just take it as it comes and use 12 syns a day the rest of the week?

i just made the bacon and mushroom carbonara from the latest mag...it was good, really quick and easy (cos i used the diced bacon lol) but i'd def have it again!

the weather here is horrid and we have to go sort something for my OH an hr's drive away, then i need to drive back...eurgh! as if driving strange roads isn't bad enough, add darkness and pi$$ing rain and wind into the equation lol.

never mind, i'll have my goodies when i come back and cosy up for Homeland ;)

loved the blacklist this week....are you up to date on it?

i've said from the 2nd episode i reckon reddington is lizzy's dad...what's your take on it?x
 
That's exactly what my bf thought but in last weeks episode he mentioned her dad (said he knew her dad?!) so I'm a bit on the fence lol. This weeks was a good one (just watched it lol). I am getting more and more into it as it goes on - really want to know what the deal is with her husband - he seems a bit too nice so obviously something dodgy. I think that other agent is totally falling for Lizzie too so wouldn't be surprised if there was a storyline like that as well.

Yeah I WI in the morning thankfully so I'll just have less throughout the week to make up if I need to. I think they do a chicken burger so it will be syns for the bun (7 I think it is!?) and the one I like has avocado and goats cheese too mmmmm. Will have to do some work on my will power lol. Also got a night out Friday after work so I'll have to have full syns there hahaha.

Ooh rather you than me going out driving in this weather! I'm all cosy inside and def don't want to be anywhere else lol! Have you got to cart the kids with you as well?!

Bf is on standby to pick me up from London tomorrow because I have a feeling the storm will play havoc with travel to and from London. Especially as I will be getting the train home at about 11pm at the earliest.
 
mmm that place looks nice!
good luck picking something lol

back home now, yep, we all had to go and god i'm glad. won't be going anywhere til WI tomorrow if i can help it.

fingers crossed you get back without any hassle tomorrow...that sounds like it could be a nightmare! to be honest, how the weather is here for us isn't really anything too unusual...just good old autumn/winter for us Scots lol x
 
Well all the trains are cancelled til 9am at the earliest so the morning won't be fun!!

Just had a lovely roast and feeling full up watching the X factor results. Been getting a lot of indigestion lately so food not going down well for some reason. :(
 
hmm..wonder what's causing that?

why have the trains been cancelled already....do you's have flooding?

just watched Homeland....oooooh! i won't say in case you're keeping it for another day but ooooh lol

i'll catch up with x factor thru the week x
 
Agh we are saving homeland as we still haven't seen series two! Cannot wait to watch it!!

It's been happening all week so no clue what has caused it. If it carries on I'll have to see the doctor.

It's pretty windy but no rain worse than usual at the moment. It's supposed to be really bad down south overnight and tomorrow though so I suppose it's a precaution or something. Train companies always panic with the weather - I'm sure they cause most of the problems!!
 
lol...
it's funny to hear so much about it when we'd class it as a good drying day lmao

hopefully it doesn't cause too much disruption though.

have you been taking anything for the indigestion? maybe the dr would be the best idea if it doesn't ease?x
