Oh my... The paella was epic!!! Sorry I forgot to take a pic before I tucked it but I shall definitely be doing it again! Basically I fried up onions, garlic and diced chicken with some chorizo (need to measure out and syn) then when it is browned add sliced peppers (I have bags of them in the freezer and they are so handy to have!) and a pinch of saffron (really makes a big taste difference!!) then add the rice I did 300g as it was the last of what we had.. The recipe says 100g each but it did plenty- plus a bit to take to work tomorrow as well! make up 1 litre of chicken stock and add to pan(I used a nice big heavy bottomed frying pan) simmer for about 20 minutes and stir a couple of times throughout (but not too much!) then I added cooked prawns (previously frozen) and stirred in cooking for another 5-10 mins. Serve and sprinkle with parsley = blooming lovely!!!!

Sorry I missed that hun!

Day sounds really good. I did enjoy my green day yesterday, having one tomorrow too.

I have decided that will do green days on gym days so I can burn off the carbs, and then red days on non-gym days, with EE days when I am busy

Dear diary. .

I have HAD to eat 2 jaffa cakes this afternoon. . (4syns) and also had to stop at costa for a skinny hazelnut latte (not sure of syns but need the caffeine and sweetness to get me through the gym!!) Am soooooo drained from work today and not even sure I will burn many more calories at the gym than I did at work today! ! :/

So will see how my chocolate craving is tonight. . And shall water down my remaining milk allowance a little as well to compensate.

I was tempted but I really needed to feel like I was pushing myself to stay motivated, it did work and I felt good after doing 3/4 of the second day of the app. I was meeting my friend anyway so was aware of time, even thought was tired before it did leave me feeling more energised afterwards .

however... Unless I can count strawberry and lime cider as my superfree (which I fear I cannot ;D) I have some synnage to declare!

so... I was very naughty and actually didn't eat anything at all for dinner! (I did have some of my leftover fruit on the way home though) so this afternoon/evening I have had;

small skinny hazelnut latte (HEA) 2 syns

strawberry and lime cider 11 syns

vodka and diet coke 2.5 syns

and a hot chocolate (HEA - watered down a bit) 2 syns.

so total daily syns were 21.5.

i can live with that completely and hope that it doesn't impact too much...

[OpalLilyEats]

OMG loving your food plan for today Nic! :drool: I want it ALL!!

Not sure if you know (you probably do!) but on a red day you need to cook the potatoes with the skins on for the added fibre, I didn't realise that when I started doing red days! xx

It was fun and a much needed catch up! I am looking forward to my meals today I have no idea.. I am getting a little bit peed off with it all and feel like giving up at the moment. . He is off today and needs to go to an appointment and also had the opportunity to see his daughter which he has taken (understandably) but has yet to let me know when he plans to allocate some time for me today... bored of having the same stand off with him-he just cannot plan ahead!!! (He has got better but it's been a sssssllllooooowwww process. .) Xx
