Visited a friend this pm and had lots of chat. That did me good.
Flynn has been back to doctor. He is shouting because he can`t hear he thinks we can`t. Doc has given another course of antibiotics. He is back at school tomorrow and is looking forward to going.

Hope you all had a good day. I really enjoyed my food especially the stuffing gravy.

Yes it feels great x cant decide on pork or meatballs for tomorrows tea lol x

 

[upndown]

well I planned an EE day today but when I was writing down my plan for the day in my notebook - realised it could be an EESP day if I swapped rice for cauli - so did that - see if u think I've got it right!

hope everyone's been happy with their day?

Brunch: 60g bread 2 heb - boiled egg p- lettuce s, cucumber s, tomato s, half tsp mayo with white vinegar 1 syn, large apple s
Tea: starter - cauli s, 20g mature cheddar - part hea*
main - turkey curry as yest - s & p inc 4 veg- cauli s
syns: lindt choc ball - 4 syns plus 1 for mayo = 5
drinks: coffee with ss milk part hea*, water, diet lemonade, fruit tea

If I eat anything else it will be a speed fruit!

 

[Nanny Doreen]

Looks good to me. I know I would miss my rice or spuds though.

I think the EESP looks good actually. I will have to have another look at it. Seeing the diabetic nurse this month. I will take the details with me and see what she thinks. If I don`t have spud I can have BNS or carrot chips, or even swede & carrot mash. Will see what she says about little carb. I know I can have spuds on other free foods but feel then I may as well do EE. Whisper. Weighed myself this morning ---- I know, smacked hand --- It says I have lost 1lb. Won`t look again till Thursday morning. I know from experience if I weigh all the time I get complacement and am feeling good re planning.

I must have something else with that stuffing gravy, it was lovely.

Good luck for another good day tomorrow Linda.

Thank you for your good wishes - I really hope I can stick to the plan the whole week - I am out Friday night but know the place we're going so can work around it!!

Well I'll forgive for weighing as you are being such a good girl in other ways! And great you know you've lost a 1lb already - I'm not surprised cos you've been eating so well.

But I know from painful experience how weighing too often affects me - if the reading is good - I think I can eat more! If I don't like the number I could turn to food to comfort me - no winning is there!

Right now I'm hiding from the scales cos I don't want to see the gain - yet I can see it when I look in the mirror and feel the extra lumps!!

Will you share your stuffing gravy recipe with us - it sounds lovely!

I think we're all fancying EESP but if you've seen my food for today - you'll see I did it by chance - but can't see me doing it for a whole week!! I know it's meant for when we need a boost - so it could come in handy for that.

I see the 'changes to plans' thread is still a good read with today's posts!! xx

 

[bubble77]

I want that gravy!!
I loooove stuffing, i know it sounds disgustong but id toast it in bread with a slice of cheese. Yumyum!
No more weighing nanny u are doing fab without the scales telling you you are. Xxx

 

[Nanny Doreen]

Stuffing Gravy. Bear in mind I do this for just myself though it could do for two at a push

10g dry stuffing mix.
10g dry bisto powder.

Put stuffing in a little container and put some boiling water on it. (this cooks it)
Leave till green veg cooked.
When veg done pour some of the hot water onto the stuffing mix, it will have kinda set thick by now.
Mix the bisto powder with a little cold water .
I then put this all in a little saucepan and bring it to the boil. It should be quite thick. Thin it if you want.
It all depends on how much veg water you put in.

I love it with pork chops and with chicken. Havn`t done it for ages

No more scales before Thursday :nono: promise.

I agree Linda if it looks good it usually makes you eat more. Thank goodness my head it right again today.

I must try that it sounds just up my street. Thanks for sharing. x

Morning Linda

Have updated my food for yesterday. I had a ham and pickle sandwich for 6 syns, still only 8.1/2 for the day but would I have had it if I had not weighed myself???? Like you said it can make you eat more


I had a phone call from Nik just after 9. He had taken Flynn to school --- Flynn who always cries on the first day back ---- and Nik told teacher that Flynn is having trouble hearing as he is all blocked up and the teacher laughed and said "I will have to shout at you then Flynny" Flynn laughed, said goodbye to Dad and ran up the stairs to the class. Nik rang to tell me because that is such a big milestone.

Just thought I would share that as they are so at the front of my thoughts right now.

 

[Nanny Doreen]

Its not surprising you're thinking about them, you're a very caring person and its worrying when little ones aren't 'right'. Well done Flynn for overcoming that first day back scariness. I hope he had an enjoyable day and it sounds like his teacher will do what he/she can to help while his ears are a bit blocked.
I'm glad you shared it

On another note, another great food day for you and yesterday too. Even with your snack added later in the day you were still well within syns. You might not have had it if you'd not weighed, but there again you might have got an attack of the middle of the night munchies and had something far more synful, so all in all, I reckon it was a good choice.
I'm going to enjoy going back to EE after Friday lol, as it will seem so much easier and more food to choose from. Also a bit less expensive!
