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

[xmisskx]

ooooh i like cheesecake! and spent most of december making it and sending my OH off to work with it (in between inhaling some! lol)

do you not like it at all???

i had the sticky chicken which was lovely...but the wee jar i had bought of honey wasn't really enough to do 3 tbsp of that (it's 3 tbsp of honey, 3 of soy sauce and 3 of balsamic vinegar, all mixed together then poured over the chicken when it's cooked and let it reduce down) so there wasn't a lot of sauce. will def make it again though but with the proper amounts.

OH liked it too which is a bonus!

just saw on another thread, someone made sw pakora and sauce...looked lovely so hoping to get a peek at how she made them

heading to bed soon...promised myself i'd be there already...FAIL! lol

hope you've had a good day x

Well today has not started out well...I forgot to set my alarm and I'm currently waiting for a train. Usually I am at my desk by 8:40!! Eeekkk!!

Bf made his cheese cake and had some for breakfast lol. I packed him a bit for lunch as well to use it up. It's the texture of cheesecake I struggle with but I'm a bit worried that if I try a bit of his latest one I might like the flavour and I really don't want to get a taste for cheesecake lol. I'll stick to my choc cake this evening and see how it is - if not I'll raid the cheesecake lol.

Managed to grab food for the day and think it's all fine SW wise so at least I got that right today lol.

Shame about the sticky chicken but it's does sound simple enough to make. I'll have to give it a try when I next have some nice chicken breasts. I could even do it tomorrow. How many syns is it!?

 

[xmisskx]

aww god...what time did you wake up?


mmmm cheesecake for breakfast! yum-eee! lol

the syns in the chicken is just for the honey (1 per tbsp) so just depends on what you use...i'll def make it again.

hope your days hasn't been too bad...nothing worse than being late and chasing your tail the whole day to catch up!x

Woke up at 8:15 lol whoops!! Had a good day in the end food wise.

I've made my choc cake - just need to make the 'icing' and then I'll give it a try with a nice cuppa and pray it doesn't taste like mud

how has your day been!?

 

[xmisskx]

lol @ mud!

my day was alright thanks, made a random concoction for dinner - baked potato with 20g grated cheese, coronation quorn chicken, lettuce and mini corn on the cob...it was good....but a slab of butter mushed up in my potato would have been epic!

made pasta for lunch tomorrow, added quorn pieces, mushrooms, onion and peppers then mixed in the curried mayo...looks nice so hoping that it tastes decent enough!

just gonna have a quick slice of toast then head to bed i think...fingers crossed that doesn't turn into an hour of faffing about :-/

how was your day...did everything go to plan with work....or did the lateness set it all off for the day?x

It wasn't too bad in the end - a busy day but managed to get quite a bit done so no problem really. Plus I'm always in before 9am so I think they can just put up with me being an hour late for once!!

The shred is done and it was a teeny bit easier than yesterday. Only the second day on level two so I'm taking precautions and smothering myself in muscle rub lol.

The cake was rubbish. Went straight in the bin after two mouthfuls and I won't be doing it again. It just reminded me why I prefer to save my syns for a 'proper' pudding lol. I ended up having my usual blue ribband for some syns and now I'm just tidying up a bit before bed!!

 

[xmisskx]

mmm blue ribands!! but one's never enough!

i wasn't keen on the brownie either...especially with the "icing" !

i made another 1/2 syn roulade but with just under a teaspoon of baking powder this time, and i made sure it was cooked properly lol, it came out flatter and i spread some forrest fruit yog over it then crumbled frozen raspberries and rolled it....i like this one so going to have a slice of that with 1/2 a banana and a boiled egg soon, then eat once i get into work...i always try to grab a wee thing before i leave cos i don't really have time to have a full, proper breakfast before work.

was in bed a bit earlier last night but up at 12.30 for the loo, then woke about 4 and didn't settle again until my OH left for work, got up earlier and washed my hair so that'll save me time tonight....method in my madness

glad to hear your day wasn't too bad yesterday...sometimes the whole day goes to pot if you sleep in eh...

what's on the menu today?x

i didnt go to sleep til about 11:30 but then i slept the sleep of the dead lol! Bf came home late and I didn't even stir which is really unlike me. I must have an earlier night tonight though as i feel tired already lol.

Green for me today. Having some porridge for breakfast then lunch is leftover BNS and tomato risotto from dinner last night. I also have some chickpea dahl to snack on, fruit, yoghurt and some hifi bars. Dinner tonight will be Linda Mc sausages and mash with veg. Bf is having normal sausages I gave him a choice of what to have for dinner and (as always) he picked sausage and mash lol. its his absolute favourite!

Think i will go red tomorrow and make some herb crusted lamb chops and roasted veg. what is your meal plan for the day?

 

[xmisskx]

i've been super hungry today...well, this morning mostly.

the pasta i made wasa quite good, but i was busy at work and had to eat a mouthful here and there. green for me today too although i could change it to EE but i've not taken meat out the freezer. gonna make sausages too for my OH and my little one so might have quorn burger or maybe L Mc sausages too- not had them in ages but not that keen to be honest!

my OH went to try and get me that BNS and falafel salad again today but there was none, he's brought me a sweet potato and chilli salad thing too, but it's with a flatbread and of course, i told him that i have no access to sw to check the syns. i reckon most of them would be in the flatbread but wouldn't be able to say how many for sure for the rest...waste of time! hmph lol

my hopes of overtime are out the window seeing as i found out today if we work extra, it'll be to build flexi which is no use to me hoping something changes soon as i really thought i'd get at least one shift!

how's your day been? food sounds good...are you loving the dahl loaf? x

Is it a salad or a flatbread with the salad in it!? The healthy living one? I think I've found it using my sisters log in details and it looks like it is 18 syns on any plan. Sorry to be the nearer of bad news hun such a shame he couldn't get the normal one for you!

Any time you need anything looking up just let me know the details and I'll look for you hun

 

[xmisskx]

thanks chick

it's a flat bread with that stuff on it - that's probably right...i reckon the flat bread would be about 10 at least...it's 300+ cals but obviously some free food for the sweet potato etc.
i'm not ar$ed really...nice thought but won't be eating it! even taking the flat bread out, it doesn't appeal to me unless it worked out syn free lol

preparing lunch for tomorrow...gonna have an egg mayo sandwich...not taken one to work for aaaages!x

[sparty]

Ooh your egg mayo sounds delish! I've just made myself a big old salad to take for lunch tomorrow. I've used half my hexb for a few potatoes in there and I'll use the rest with dinner tomorrow night

 

[xmisskx]

sounds yummy...i always think 1/2 HEb worth of potato is more than we'd think?

made egg mayo with tomato sandwich...looking forward to it

just watched The Following from last night...considering going to be this early cos i'm knackered. but i also feel i'm borderline causing an argument with my OH which, would let me get things off my chest but don't want to fight and i wouldn't be able to say what i want without him taking things to heart.

i just don't think they realise what we do for them sometimes and i don't think there's any badness meant....but it's annoying me a bit recently x

Well done on doing the shred - it's tough isn't it - must dust mine off and do it again someday! Pity about your cake - have you tried the SW brownies - I think they're good but I don't use as much sweetener as the recipe as I'm not keen on the taste.

I also like my Freddo choc - good value I think for 5 yummy syns - funny isn't it - that over Christmas I'd have had to have at least 5 to hit the spot lol!

 

[sparty]

Yeah Xmas doesn't count though a 1kg bar of dairy milk was the only thing that would do it for me over Xmas lol

I'm still doing the shred - day 13 ticked off today. Feeling pretty pleased with myself about it

Don't worry about arguing with OH hun. These things always happen from time to time. Bf stormed out at about half 6 because he made me jump in the car by not breaking quick enough and I shouted at him ( but really it was just because he needed a cigarette) and has only just got back and still hasn't said a word to me. How it's my fault I'll never know! Idiot!!!

Can you talk to him about it without arguing!?

I want to...but I just know if I say the things that are bothering me, he'll take them so to heart etc. I think he know there's something wrong but I'll end up saying so god knows lol...I'm too honest and upfront and I won't feel better til I've said how I feel.

I went to bed early, he came to bed after midnight and I got up for the loo then slept a few hrs before I tossed and turned...can't say I'm feeling the benefits of those extra hrs yet...hopefully soon lol

Are you's talking yet? Bloody carry on at times eh lol- hope you're ok xx

I'm fine hun. He is just behaving like a child. He dropped me off to work this morning and said 'aren't you talking to me or something!?' What!? Me not talking to YOU!?? I told him he was the one that stormed off for no reason not me. Lol.

It's all so stupid. Will all be fine later when I get home.

Upandown - I can walk it's my arms that have stopped working lol.

 

[xmisskx]

they're a different species at times! lol

think the worst part is it's probably my fault that i do all the things...he doesn't ask me but lately it's bugging me cos he comes in from work and plods along with whatever he has to do but i come in and do all the mundane things....yeah, most of it is my responsibility (ie my son etc) but i think great! he asked if i want to try a new buffet place which has all different types of food at the weekend and secretly i'm thinking hell yeah! lol, but i don't want to cos 1, i'll have a blow out (it's chinese, indian, italian etc) and 2...i'm not sure it'll change how i feel.

anyway...nevermind

i've got all food sorted for today, sandwich for lunch, quorn chilli out for dinner AND the weekend is in sight...yipeeee

what you got on the menu today?x
