Hi Igg, how are you??

I've been trying something new every week, spent time today going through my cupboard synning stuff. Last week I tried scan bran, have you tried it??
 
Hi Issy :wavey: ,

I had an ok day. I ate lots of free food, having a green day today. I made a really nice Quorn Chicken Tikka salad and I had fruit in jelly for dessert, it was yum, here are the pics...

Hi Issy, How did you get on with the scan bran?
I bought some.. (rather a lot tbh..!?! :sigh: ) found it okayish but I think it needs some really specific items to eat with it as it's so dry.
Those pics of food fair made my mouth water... look really yummy!

Hi Emmaline,

Been away visiting the inlaws for a few days, can't wait for group, get weigh-in done & get back on track.

I've made 3 scan bran cakes, all been the same, as needed to use up stuff, did one's using coconut mullerlite yougurt & with abit of cadburys philly on top I could nearly convince myself it was a "bounty bar cake", got 5 substantial finger slices outta each one, so lasted over 3days & very light on syns. Didn't do my bowels any harm either. So I think I'll make one, once or twice a week, mite experiment abit more with flavours. Do you use scan bran? I can't imagine eating it as a cracker though, very reconsituted card board looking.
 
Hi Issy :wavey: ,

I hope you had a lovely weekend. I've never tried scan bran before. A lot of people say it tastes of cardboard :p . But I guess it helps keep the syns low. That bounty cake sounds yum! I had an ok weekend. I think I will sts this week. I am eating a lot in this weather but trying not to go over my 15 syns, although I have used all of them most days last week. I love biscuits with my coffee, its my weakness lol . I made a really nice moroccan vegetable and quorn dish yesterday, all free of course, I have some leftovers for today so looking forward to dinner tonight :D . I really wish you lots of luck for weigh in today, I am sure you will come back with a fab loss. Will pop by later to see how you got on. Best of luck !

Biccies with tea Kay, total weakness, once a packets opened I can't stop, thats why I've converted to scan bran cake. Green day today, cheesy scrambled egg on toast for brekkie, had a quorn herb fillet this evening with roast spuds & courgette/tomato/onion bake :eat:
 
Hi Issy,

I gained 2 lbs today :( not in the best of moods. But I hit back and went to the gym and burnt 500 cals :) . I'm done with not getting anywhere for the last 2 months, I've got my fighting spirit back :p. I've promised myself to go to the gym 5 days a week now until the new year ! I am determined to get into the 11's for the new year. I have 11 lbs to lose, i'm 12st 11lbs at the mo. I will try my best to get there. How have you been ?

Sounds very positive Kay, you've drawn a line under it & moved on, good plan of action, my fingers are crossed for you.

Hubby is setting up the ike in the playroom at the weekend, so I'm gonna try a half hour on the bike every day till Xmas.

Have to admit to a slip up last nite, resorted to microwave pizza, while tired & cranky, I should've ate earlier & not let the situation happen, I'm back on good behaviour;)

Also two major developments today..........

1. I am now the PROUD owner of a slowcooker :eat: It's yet to make it out of the box but dying to use it, it's an early birthday prezzie to myself :bday: which is not for another month but as I was smug from finishing my Xmas shopping, I felt entitled & indulged. It's a basic one from Argooose.

2. I do not own a food processor so I was using the hot water method to break up my scan bran, instead I got out a pestle & mortar, took me aggggeeesss but I ground them devils down (think this might count towards body magic:D), I have now got my 1st non-soggy bottom scan bran cake :massmoon:
 
Hi Issy :),

That's brill your going to pedal your way to the new year ! It's fab your starting body magic on the bike :D . I went to the gym again today so day 2 and sticking to it :) . So jealous of the slow cooker. I love kitchen gadgets I have so many :p . I'm sure you'll be cooking up some yummy recipes on there soon ! Must see some pics. Don't worry about the pizza, we all have to have some treats now and then and its especially hard when your tired and you can't be asked to cook, I have days like that too. Well done with pounding the scan bran :D that must have burnt some calories lol. You mentioned your birthday is next month, does that make you a Capricorn ? my best mates a Capricorn :p .

Kay xx
 
No Kay I'm a sagittarius "on the cusp of capricorn" or something like that :)

I finished the kiddy Xmas shopping today, other bits ordered online, so just a couple of stocking fillers to pick up, so happy, I hate rushing round at the last minute. I'll start wrapping tomorrow, we're having Xmas at my inlaws at the other end of the country so Hubby will take the prezzies down there next week as he'll be visiting there on business.

Gonna research a few slowcooker recipes, Sijack gave me a chicken stew one on another thread. I've wanted a slowcooker for ages but I've been putting it off as I'm abit pushed for space but I'm determined to make room. :D

What kinda stuff you doing in the gym Kay???
 
Hi Issy,

I just posted up my turkey biryani recipe :) . At the gym I do the treadmill, cross trainer and rowing machine which I love. I also do weights, the tricep extention for my bingo wings :D . I aim to burn 500 cals for an hours workout. I don't do classes because I'm too shy, there is no thrill in everyone seeing my flab jump around :rolleyes: . I prefer doing my own thing at my own pace. There are other machines in the gym but they scare me :eek:, I see girls going on them like crazy like that spinning machine, they're going for their life like the worlds going to end :D ! I like to stick to my 3, very boring I am lol. I used to do the bike but don't u find it gives u a sore bum after a while or is it only me ? :p

Kay xx
 
Oh I love the bike, I just put the tv on & away I go, it helps that I have padded gel leggings & a gel saddle, hubby says any more padding & I'll turn the bike into an armchair, lol:D It is comfy.

I like classes but like you I always feel abit self-concious, I also have a brutal sense of rhythm, I'm always outta synch, did a couple of zumba class, enjoyed it.

Gonna pop over & check your recipes out, I love the mouth-watering pix:)
