MinkyDinkys SW Success Diary!!

[MinkyDinky]

Thanks for the list Sian, going to put them all in a 'hat' and pick at random later.

Badders was awesome, worked really hard and ran a lot. Unfortunately I over lunged at one point and have managed to pull a muscle in my butt

Before I played I had my SB topped with raspberry jam/quark and 1 salmon quiche and packet of velvet crunch. 5 syns for that, 1/3 HexA cheese, total syns 7.5 for the day.


Was going to have the other 2 quiches but not hungry at all. Feel pretty tired and bit of belly ache. Been to the loo twice today too although scales are still sts from tuesday (and up 2lbs once I eat) so god knows whats going on there.

Will probably have the rest of my HexA cheese with my dinner (grated over my cauliflower?) Or with some sliced apple afterwards? May have a tub of yoomoo for pudding, or half a tub and some fluff heated up and poured over. Or that may be too much faff!

Not given up but because I was playing badminton at 1 the timing was just all wrong this week. I'm going to see if there is an evening one instead because sunday badminton may become regular. There is pilates on a Thursday eve but that gets very busy apparently xx

Just a quicky before I tuck in fully (I've had about 4 mouthfuls while serving up... Wow!)

Dinner... Is served.

Will catch up after I'm stuffed full of pork xx

Minks how did you find the sauce turns out? I'm making this now but my sauce seems a bit too sweet. Added some extra smoked paprika, lots of seasoning and a glug of red wine and its better but think I must have done something wrong originally. Was yours more sweet than smokey? X

Glad its not just me then! If I do it again I won't put any sweetener in at all x

Hey hun, I tried mine as I went a long and changed quantities and stuff because I like mine a little hotter and smokier. Did find it was sweet enough without being over powering but I can't remember actual measurements for mine. I think the sweetener for this is purely to take the acidic touch out of the tomatoes. Have you managed to salvage it? Xx

 

[ScarlettStar86]

Ok thanks hun, yeah I should have done but I was trying to do too many things at once lol.

I think it will be fine, now the pork is out of the oven I've dipped a bit in the sauce and its a nice balance. As I said I added some red wine and extra seasoning which seems to have saved it luckily! Next time will use less vinegar and no sugar I think xx

Ok... scan bran has now started taking the effects most people mention.

Cue chronic tummy ache

2 toilet visits this morning too (although might I add its just normal numbers 2, not, ummmm runny - sorry for tmi!) Tummy is bloated and hurts. Boo. Xx

 

[ScarlettStar86]

oh hun that's not nice. Are you keeping you water up? Even more than normal to help it all through so to speak! Hope the pains ease soon, prob a bit of a shock to the system all that scan bran!

 

[*Emsie*]

I wasn't impressed with how my sauce turned out either

 

[emma_partington27]

Oh dear maybe dont hav anymore this week then. Uve done fab on the challenge

Yea Sunday mornings aren't an ideal time to get up and out to a yoga class. I love badminton but find it difficult to get anyone to play with or get courts as they book up early pus I don't know the rules lol

Ahh what you going to do then hun? x

 

[MinkyDinky]

Well I've had my SB for the day so will see how I feel in the morning. Maybe it'll pass.

Fluid I have an app that measure fluids and tells you how much you need for height/weight. And I've been drinking between 2.5-3.5 litres a day. Hmmm.

Its eased slightly now. But I'm still not very hungry either and I've got dinner cooking. Maybe a small portion for me then xx

Yeah ive got that app dont like it thou coz everytime i drink green tea i put it in n my water goes down

 

[Hannah2]

Which app is it minks?

Hope your tummy eases soon.

I didn't do the pork - I got a reduced fee range chicken in aldi (not had one from there before) so thought best to cook that and freeze pork - maybe next weekend!

Got the red leister cheese ready for the macaroni & cheese recipe though - gonna syn the cheese as still need my milk for hexA - unless - can you have it as a green day and have 2 hex A choices????? Never done green or red, might be interesting!
