Exercise - school walk, 45 mins wii fit, 20 mins calf stretches.

Didn't mean to do solely wii fit for the cardio this week but it's so convenient hehe.

My asics trainers arrived late yesterday so will be trying those on the school run today - the narrowness of the sole around the arch is a bit alarming but I presume it helps prevent pronation/putting weight onto the insides of your feet.

Oh, got a pink cauliflower in my organics box this week. Going to try making cauliflower cheese soup for lunch and see if it produces pink soup

I got one that was Cadbury purple from my local co-op a few weeks ago - looked really shocking on the plate It's nice to get these little surprises in with veg box

It's had it's picture taken, now it's been souped - it went a kind of mauve/pink colour... bit odd! Tastes like the normal kind

I LOVE pulled pork but I am too lazy to make it.

BBQ pork egg foo yung & egg foo yung sauce sounds & looks AMAZING!

I am gonna have to find the time to pick your diary apart and find lots of yummy foods and recipes!

The pork is easy, you just need to make up the bbq sauce which takes about 20-30 mins then you stick it over pork in a slow cooker and leave it alone for a few hours. The egg foo yung was really easy too so think it'll become a staple meal for me as can just vary it by changing the pork round for chicken/prawns/tofu/more veggies

Pink cauli never seen one before


Lo - hope you are okay sweetie :bighug: chin up :bighug:xxxxxxxx

I'm so glad to have found those pancakes, think that or making the mix into waffles is my favourite breakfast ever and reckon they'd fool any SW critic

Feeling much better today thank you So glad to see the back of this week

Have a lovely meal out

Good luck for tomorrow

Mn the meal's been called off as OH has to work late - going to go next week instead now so might save it for when my child can have a night with a grandparent so we can go cinema for a proper evening out

Stuck in with the wii instead lol My xanthan gum turned up today so going to make hot and sour soup and a chicken chow mein to replace the meal out, it might end up being nicer than the meal out anywho

 

[Micci]

Hi, just wanted to say hello, and hope you have a nice evening

 

[Lily42uk]

Oh do let me know how you get on with the Xanthan Gum, I took my pot to my sisters to make soup and she knocked it over and I lost half of it on the floor mind you I still reckon there's enough there to do a good few months worth of soup yummy :8855: xxxxxxxxx

 

[blackwidow]

how was your wagamamas? havent been there since it opened in Newcastle but love love loved it last time I went

 

[broadsbean]

hey just wondering how weigh in went and seeing how you are doing, is today farmers market day.
i love going to them xx

hope your having a good day xxx

 

[Mumma K]

Afternoon Lo

How did Wi go ?

Xx

 

[LoChan1984]

Hi, just wanted to say hello, and hope you have a nice evening

Hiya Micci, nice to see you Shall pop over to you diary soon to see how you're getting on x

Oh do let me know how you get on with the Xanthan Gum, I took my pot to my sisters to make soup and she knocked it over and I lost half of it on the floor mind you I still reckon there's enough there to do a good few months worth of soup yummy :8855: xxxxxxxxx

It worked out okay though I did the adding it straight into the pan as you'd said it needs the hot liquid - it stayed in a clump so had to chase it round the pan and squish it to the side with a spoon lol Think I'll ladle out a 1/4 cup of the hot soup and mix the 1/4 spoonful of xanthan gum with that next time. It's great stuff, I can use it for the egg foo yung sauce too now and save another 2 syns off a regular meal. A 200g pot is surprisingly huge so think I'm set for a year's worth of low syn soups and sauces, thank your C for the suggestion for me

how was your wagamamas? havent been there since it opened in Newcastle but love love loved it last time I went

We didn't go Going next friday now and hopefully having a cinema and childfree night too I've looked in my wagamama cook book and reckon I can syn a chilli beef ramen at 3.5 syns for an EE day so not too bad!

hey just wondering how weigh in went and seeing how you are doing, is today farmers market day.
i love going to them xx

hope your having a good day xxx

Yep, farmer's market today. Thankfully it was dry and sunny, was a complete washout last time heh. I didn't buy too much, ended up in the polish deli buying nice breads and some cheesecake

Afternoon Lo

How did Wi go ?

Xx

Mnn, not very nicely Just 0.5lbs off this week. Was expecting it in the that's what they've been telling me all week but not expecting it in that I've been on plan all week and done the exercise challenge I set myself everyday. Ah well.

I'm having a day off plan today so won't be putting in a food diary for today (will do yesterday's in a mo). Going to spend some time recipe planning for the week and I've got new stuff to try out - toadskin melon, prickly pear and a fresh pomegranite, so I'll be back on track tom'ow.

Just feel like I need a day's breathing space so I don't do my nut in over things if that makes sense?

Challenge for this week is going to be a half hour minimum of yoga everyday - good for my back and good for my head. Also OH has hidden my scales so no hopping, not even tom'ow to see if the sourdough bread and the bit of cheesecake I'm going to enjoy today send them soaring

Well done on the loss. Every little bit helps even though it doesn't feel like it at the time.

You sound so fed up :bighug:

A day off plan may be just what you need and it will probably kick start your weight loss again.

 

[*SugarPlum*]

Hi Lo,

Well done on the 0.5... It's another loss in the right direction. I know it's not your usual huge loss but it's still good.

You are doing so well, don't feel down!

You will enjoy a day of Plan but you will love it even more when your back on plan!

I am planning a mammoth cooking session tomorrow, I am making a HUGE amount of your H&S soup!! Enough for lunches every day for me and Hubby!!

I want to try your American pancakes next... Where do I find the recipe Hunny? Xxx

Not had chance to eat much even if I'm off plan - went out on just apple juice since late waking and farmer's market to get to, had a lunch then I've been stuck on here catching up for ages - you and Jackie talk too much when left to your own devices, and your choccie ban is scary, in an impressively ambitious way lol

Bit fed up yeah but trying to just forget about last week basically. Doing like you said and got the OH to put my scales somewhere for the week so they're not messing with my head. With that and your advice re the dodginess of simply be you've been very helpful, do you find that shocking?

I want to make more hot and sour soup too but I forgot to buy more chillies today :d'oh: It's dangerous stuff though, dropped a spoonful down my cleavage on friday night, it was a cold flannel situation :8855:

The pancakes are from slimming eats American Style Breakfast | Slimming Eats - Slimming World Recipes

I tend to just stick in 1 pot of activia ff vanilla yog in the mix instead of measuring out a half cup. They're nice with fruit too instead of the bacon and you can add a bit of cinnamon into the mix aswell for variety

Nobody else was playing out so there wasn't anyone sensible to stop us :8855:

Err yes I won't do it very often so don't get used to it :8855:
