It all starts now...!

hi there - have been away and just checking in without time to read it all through, but hope it's all going well? What is magic porridge? I think I may have asked this before - you soak overnight in water then stir a muller in in the morning?

All good thanks, hope all is well for you too! No water involved in the porridge

The night before weigh out 35g Porridge Oats (HEX B) and stir in a Mullerlite Yogurt, I generally use the vanilla one. Pop in the fridge overnight and by the morning it's lovely, thick and creamy. I do it that way as it saves the A choice and I actually find it so much tastier x

Grrrr Laptop is playing up again...

Hi Joanne
Your dinner this evening sounds yummy! I need to plan ahead again now that I am feeling better or I know I will slip!

I agree about not having to go out or do anything at the weekends as it would make it soooo much more difficult (psychologically) to stick to plan...

Are BBQ beans free? I need to get them in to my life again mmm!

Also, is a Reece peeanutbutter cup only 4 syns???? I thought it would be about 10 atleast!

 

[xJoanneJJx]

Yep Well, it was a smaller than usual one but not the miniature ones..good size! My friend sent me some stuff i asked for from America and she included loads of American goodies! It was a 15g one and i searched the calories on the internet.

Heinz BBQ Beans are free! x

 

[Donte]

Well done Joanne what are you hoping for this week? I said to my C that I'd like 2lb and that I'd do some exercise.... I haven't managed the exercise so far with being ill but there is always tomorrow...:/

[Princess_Stevie]

A reeses peanut butter cup for 4 Syns sounds too good to be true!! Was it one of the ones you get in the 3 pack, or smaller? xx

 

[xJoanneJJx]

I'll take a picture of the size it is later, along with the links where it showed the calories
Cba to do my food diary today, not that i'll be eating much. Remember I said about my nightmare at the dentist, been having really bad pain and now 1/2 of the fillings have fell out meaning i have holes in my teeth and can't eat anything.

Dentist at 12.45....boooo!
going to the metro centre tonight so maybe that will help cheer me up, the Christmas coke truck is there too so maybe i'll get some pics Having tea out too, my choice but i've not decided yet..maybes nandos x

 

[Princess_Stevie]

Eurgh, that reminds me. I'm at the dentist tomorrow! I hate going, I'm so frightened of the place. I always leave feeling the same as you - went in with no problems, come out with major toothache. Besides the fact it costs you an absolute arm and a leg!!

But on the plus side, I think I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow night too, after I've been to the dentist. My hair is in awful condition and it's well over a year since I last had it cut - shocking I know! It will be nice to have a new style, that should cheer me up

 

[xJoanneJJx]

Less said about the dentist the better, have had to take the afternoon off. Ooo you'll have to let us see pics of the new hair
