Glad that your appointment went well Jaffa, and fingers crossed that the other results are good too!

That sounded very good except for running late! Hope #2 will be just as positive!

Thank you both

To be honest I didn't mind the running late as at least the clinic wasn't cancelled and I had my kindle !

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes always good to take the kindle. I picked up a mag yesterday and the year was 2011

 

[Jaffa Cake]

That's good there are no magazines at all at the hospital clinics I attend

Ha ha thank you

I think scales have gone down again slightly they have definitely dropped by nearly 2lbs from last Saturday but not sure I've dropped again from Tuesday or Wednesday

 

[janetelizabeth]

Good news for you...mine are not!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

But don't forget its no syn Saturday so it will go up again tomorrow as I've had chocolate biscuits and we have pasta bake with garlic bread planned for later

 

[janetelizabeth]

I feel I'm going off the rails...I did that when I first came back from Spain when I overdid lifting heavy boxes and hurt my back!! Gained a lot of pounds and had to join SW!

 

[dsjb99]

jaffa glad the appointment went well, even if late. I can't say SW are responsible for my weight loss - well not all of it anyway! I was about 16.5 stones when I first joined SW.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I had already lost my first stone when I joined SW Donna but this is the 4th time or so I've lost the weight since I was 13

Today has been the usual Saturday treat day and I enjoyed every mouthful

Hoping to do SP tomorrow and Monday before weigh in on Tuesday

No weigh in this morning as the pasta will be sitting heavy and I was way up last night
Aiming for an SP day today but not made any food plans yet

 

[ginlin]

Lush looking garlic bread Jaffa, is it homemade or shop bought?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

From Asda their cheese garlic pizza bread just from the fridges

Pasta bake is packet of pasta n sauce more dried pasta tub of low low cheese sweetcorn tomatoes spinach mushrooms and onion between two of us so basically syn free if using low low as your hex a

 

[ginlin]

Very inventive using the pasta and sauce as a basis, and looks delicios too!

I will have to have a look at the garlic bread next time I am in Asda.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Yes we always make pasta bake like that now.
Basically cook up pasta n sauce with extra dried pasta and more water when it's done add the low low cheese melted then all the veg and whack in the oven

You could easily make it meat friendly .
We use either the macaroni cheese or the broccoli cheese.

You can have it as a none pasta bake as well just fry light all the veg and add it to the cooked pasta n sauce and extra pasta.
It's a perfect easy cook meal that you can really bulk out

 

[ginlin]

I like the idea of it Jaffa, but I wouldn't be able to make it for me and Hubby, because of the gluten in the pasta'n'sauce.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Aah sorry Gin I forgot about that

 

[ginlin]

Aah sorry Gin I forgot about that

No worries, just a shame, as it looks fab!
