Nice food Doreen, I might do some roasted veg tomorrow evening and have it with chicken. I had to smile at you cooking four sausages but only three made it to be packed to take with you.

Hehe !! I am glad I out them in the car as I am hungry. Even the strawberrys in strawberry mullerlite are in a jar in the car too. Anyway, bed in 1/2 hr.

Will try to keep up to date whilst away.

Yes pls keep in touch if u can - I'm away in Manchester at the weekend too - off to see my youngest son and his girlfriend - so will be in touch when I can - goodness knows how my food will go - we're staying in a hotel as they only have a small flat - so will be eating out a few times xx

 

[upndown]

My food plan for Weds 4 Feb - hope we all have a good one - but I had a sneaky weigh this morning - at first they said I'd gained 3lbs eek! Second go 2lbs on! Third time a half pound loss - so looks like my scales are on the blink (and yes I know I shdn't weigh mid week but cdn't resist!)

But I'm not going to buy any more - then I won't be able to scale hop! I'll return scales & ask for a refund as I've not had them long - will go to Boots each week to weigh.

Edit: I went to Boots this afternoon and weighed at home in the same clothes and Boots scales showed 3lbs lighter - so that was a relief cos I was so fed up at thought of a gain - I was even building up to a binge!

Upped my food a little as u'll see - to try to avoid bingeing! has worked so far!

I've put the food I changed in bold:

b: toast hea, 1 rasher bacon, mushrooms tom ketchup 1 syn?
l: broccoli soup, pear
d: 3 meatballs syns? SW tomato sauce with lots of veg, cauli instead of pasta (saw this on Minis and works okish for pasta and rice (when I'm desperate to lose! )
Freddo 5.5 syns, grapes
fruit teas, water, 1 diet coke, 2 diet pepsis - too many carbonated drinks but thought that was better than more choc! xx

 

[upndown]

Morning ladies - hope ur all ok and eating is on plan - out for coffee shortly, then a busy day going here and there - here's my food plan for Thurs 5 Feb - hoping to be good today b4 WI! Thinking of Linda Cloud at the funeral and Doreen at Haverhillxx

b: 1 rasher bacon, mushrooms, 1 slice bread! teasp ketchup 1 syn? small orange and a sharon fruit
l: boiled egg, cherry toms, cuc, lettuce, apple if I need it
d: 1 leftover meatball and maybe bacon, SW tomato & veg sauce, cauli
1 diet coke (helping me at the mo cos it feels like a treat!) fruit tea, water

 

[upndown]

Think I'm going mad (well even madder!) cd have sworn I posted my broccoli recipe but can't see it now - anyone seen it hanging around on another thread? If not - I'll repost! xx

Enjoy your time in Manchester Upndown. 1 syn yesterday because I wanted a low day, especially weighing a day earlier than usual.

I am at Haverhill, got here around 12 noon. Had lunch and am now getting myself syked up to take the dog around the block.

I lost 1lb today, so that is 5.1/2 so far this year. Just 1lb to get back to my 2.1/2 stone. At last

Good luck for your weighin tomorrow and cloudy of course. Who else weighs on Friday

Thx Doreen - so pleased u had another loss - it's getting to be a routine for 2015! I really hope that pound disappears by next Friday - reckon u'll do that easily as u have 8 days to do it - it'd be great to get ur 2.5 stone sticker back!

Glad ur at Haverhill - hope weather is as bright as it is here - but it is still cool - the dog walk will add to ur body magic!xx

 

[Nanny Doreen]

I am back here next Thursday after going home this Sunday, as I am dog sitting so will probably get weighed Thursday again. I will fetch my scales with me so I can keep an eye on the weight as I will be here for at least a week. So Thursday next week, who knows the week after. I really want to carry on losing. I think they get back 10pm Thursday 19th so maybe have to go to Saffron Walden on the Friday 20th. I won`t want to go home so I can hear from the children about their holiday.
If I keep an eye on the3 weight there is a local sw class on Wed. Mmm lots of planning me thinks. Mind you I will have to do dog walking every day.
There is not a lot of space in freezer here so will only be able to fetch dinner for 2-3 days.
Seems silly to worry about it now but I will only be home 3 full days before I come back again.

There is a lasagne I want to try which uses macoroni cheese & fromage frais for the sauce. Supposed to be very nice. I am sure I can buy a small tin and make a small lasagne.

Another great day - particularly good for a WI day - which I sometimes think is a 'non-day' & what I eat that day doesn't count - but then I also still believe in fairies & Father Christmasxx

Not silly at all - think we've all said here that planning is key and I bet lots of us have gone way off plan when we don't have meals, snacks and other SW friendly food to hand! Also can see changing ur WI day is tricky as a Weds doesn't give u a full week of dieting again - but at the end of the day it will all work out in the wash - as they say xx

 

[upndown]

Right here I go again - amending my food plan! But had a good day really - went for coffee at a place where the home made cakes are divine - but resisted even tho my friend paid this time lol! Felt more hungry today so added extra food in bold.

RED DAY
b: 1 rasher bacon, mushrooms, 1 slice bread! teasp ketchup 1 syn? small orange and a sharon fruit
l: boiled egg, cherry toms, cuc, lettuce, apple if I need it - needed it!
d: 1 leftover meatball and maybe bacon yes u guessed I had a rasher of lean bacon SW tomato & veg sauce, cauli,

3 diet cokes! (helping me at the mo cos it feels like a treat!) fruit tea, water

Snacks: Freddo 5.5 syns, SW chilli sauce 1 syn, apple, pear, 5 brazil nuts part heb
Total: 7.5 syns - somehow felt it cd easily have been 107.5 syns so a good day!

 

[chocko1]

Glad you got there safely, Doreen and well done on the loss AGAIN!

Your comment re Father Christmas and fairies made me have a little giggle, Linda!

Hope you sleep well tonight, Cloudy Linda, seeing as you say you've had a tiring day. xx

 

[upndown]

Morning (just!) - well a disappointing 0.25 loss - after what I thought was a good week plus exercise! Hey ho - onwards and downwards - may go back to class on Tuesday .

Hope everyone has a good day, hubby taken day off today so off to pub for lunch and a walk afterwards - will be careful but think I'll go for a dessert and syn it! xx

 

[Nanny Doreen]

I agree, have a dessert, enjoy it then syn it.

You don`t seem to be eating a lot so it is frustrating to have a small loss. Keep going though. Do you think going to class will help you Linda.

I am finding it hard while I am here. Have stuck to it so far but thinking of treats a lot. Gonna take the dog for a walk before lunch.

Have promised to take Faye & Flynn to Frankie & Bennies today for their dinner. I will have to look and see if there is anything good for me. They do steak & Jacket but a little skint at the moment. Will see how it goes and let you know later.

Not sure if class will help me but think it may be worth giving it a try - I had planned to join sometime soon so that when (if) I ever get to goal I can be a life member and get weighed regularly for free!

Sorry to hear that ur struggling - think it is harder away from home! At least u can walk the dog for body magic for u both! Mmmm..... Frankie and Bennies is tempting - hope u find something SW friendly - perhaps u cd ask for a jacket potato with chicken or something - even just an interesting salad and have a low syn treat at home/Haverhill?

Enjoy ur walk xxx
