Yes, it was very good - loads of washing up though, but the hubby did that while I made the ice-cream! Lol. I think you'd need a VERY good non-stick pan (I always use my cast iron frying pans and usually they are fine) to be able to do it successfully as the recipe says, with frylight and water, or perhaps waxy potatoes would have worked. Anyway if anyone is trying it out of the mag, either have other pans or some oil ready!

Yes, I tend to use Olive oil most days - just one or 2 tspns a day, as I think it's got to be healthier than fry light. Always have some fry light in the cupboard for when I want to save the points though.

Yea on sf you're supposed to have 2tspns a day,it doesn't always happen though.Good idea with the points saving with fry light!
 
Just remembered I need to add to yesterday -

2 Pink 'n' Whites (3PP)
Pack of Cheese Curls (2PP)
More Greengages (0PP)

Had a munchie attack, so that makes my total PP 43 for yesterday. 8 weeklies remaining

Haven't had greengages in years!

No, me neither. I used to have a tree in the garden where I lived about 25 years ago. You don't see them in the shops that much now. Got them from a little greengrocers in Wells, on Sunday. They are really good - I think better than plums. (Got some plums too though!)

Yes I'm good thanks. Hope you're fully recovered now too. Greengages are an old fashioned type of plum - very yummy!

Thanks, I like putting different flavours together, and I enjoy cooking, which is half the battle. Can't take all the credit though, as the patties were from a WW recipe on the on-line tracker!
 
****, ****** and ****!

That's for yesterday's weigh in - where I'd gained a pound :confused:.

The usual suspects - water, sore muscles from extra exercise, hormones?, salt ... who knows? Anyway was obviously not a happy bunny. We went out to the Felbrigg Honey Fair which was OK, but not much happening there tbh and I didn't really fancy paying nearly £4 for 100g of olives, so we went to the coast instead, and had a walk by the sea.

I've been thinking for a while about changing my WI day to Friday - this would mean I'd have all my weeklies available for going out etc. This week is different of course because of the holiday, but normally the weekend is when I want to have extras, but I sometimes have quite a few extra PP on Wednesdays because it's after WI, which leaves me less for Sat/Sun, so I think moving my weigh in to Friday makes sense.

This week seems as good a week as any to do it, so I had a day off plan yesterday - had our planned picnic, plus ice-cream, biccies, white hot choc drink, sausage and half a portion of chips, 3 glasses of real Lemon Barley water, a few nibbles... Had already decided once I had changed WI to Friday that I was going to have a day off completely, not count or anything, and then get back on plan today, ready for WI a week on Friday. I may take a look this Friday just to see, but I have 8 days now to make up for yesterday and hopefully get this nasty pound back off! :sigh: The day off yesterday got the grumps out of my system, and because I planned to do it rather than just fell of the wagon, today I'm fine for being good again. Funny how our minds work really isn't it?

So no proper diary for yesterday's food - had about 60PP - but the week (and a day) starts today. :)
 
Mm to proper lemon barley water :0) sorry to hear about the gain,you know that will soon be off and yup makes sense to change your wi day to a Friday,that's why I changed mine from a Monday to a Friday,yup our minds play a big part when it comes to food and eating habits!
 
I could really get used to the Lemon Barley Water! Hubby bought it the other day and I was "Waaa - it's not a sugar free one, and Robinson's Barley water costs the earth - why on earth did you buy that?" Yesterday I was swigging it back!

I was p**d off about the gain, but I had upped my weights exercises and my crunches the day before, and yesterday morning my shoulder and back muscles were pretty sore, so that's probably the culprit. Anyway, sometimes it just happens doesn't it?

Yes, it's funny how OK I feel this morning about indulging yesterday - in the past I would have just said 'sod it' and the 'off plan' would have lasted all week, and as OH is on holiday, probably longer! We're going out for a meal today to use up our groupon, and I'm quite OK about that - whereas before the pound on would have spoilt that for me too.

Have measured and quite pleased with the results...

Since third week in May (so three months really), I've lost 2 inches of my boobs, 7 off my waist, 1.5 off my tum, 3 off my hips, and 3 off each thigh. I wish I'd measured last year when I started so I had an idea of how many inches I've lost altogether. I realised I had mis-read my record of my waist measurement earlier in the year though as I found another measurement I had entered on the Wii Fit,which I now remember converting into cm, and being disgusted with how big it was! So I've lost a lot more off my waist than I originally thought, which makes sense for how my clothes fit (or didn't!) I couldn't figure out how I'd only lost a small amount off my waist but my clothes were massively too big there - like inches each side of my waist - think I read an 'eight' as an 'three' in the mirror somehow!
