Hope you're feeling better tonight and got some choc Philly ;-) A friend from Uni came to Boro so ended up at pub :-/ 2 single Malibu and diet comes later (5.75 syns?) and a half of cider (?) and I'm home wondering why I did it. Just can't seem to stay on track at the mo. I'm not going as far off plan as I'd like to (v stressed) but still finding it hard.

Anyway. My carbonara-esque pasta dish was beautiful :) Hope you've had a good day

Don't worry about the drinks you're still within syns. There's going to be tough days babe. Stick with it, it will be worth it x

I was quite surprised that I liked chocolate Philly. Thought it would be awful. Oh, and tried mint choc mullerlight too :D nicer frozen. Also had a vodka (OH made and I can't let it go to waste) so another 3.75? syns and another Oreo (2.5 syns). I just hate myself at the mo for eating and drinking all the stuff I shouldn't. Once again on EE day, don't know why. Back on it today, expecting a gain on Saturday. Hope you had something nice for tea :)
 
I love choc Philly, but think it's a bit high in syns, especially when I could sit and eat the full tub ;-) I got really excited about the mint mullers because I love mint choc but I was disappointed I thought they were rubbish :-( x
 
Mm I love it too and was also surprised. I only buy the mini tubs though to stop me eating it all lol. I love it with frozen banana. :)

Fingers crossed for sat. Hopefully you will manage a sts xxx

It's yummy. Creamy. Def one to have for when you want something to nibble in front of tv. Frozen grapes are good too x
 
Grapes are just so expensive though :( Will definitely give the bananas a try. Got some soup on the go after managing to wangle a couple hrs off so..........

Today's green day
Scrambled egg and beans
2 alpen light bars (hexb)
Low fat super noodles with side salad
Small wholemeal roll (hexb) with laughing cow light triangle (hexa)
Strawberries and choc Philly (4.5) and 1 Oreo (2.5)
Speed soup

Total = 7 syns

Fingers crossed I can stay on plan today and not get diverted ;)

I like grapes when they have been in the fridge, not tried them in the freezer. Will have to try the banana though, do you chop them or leave them whole so they are like a lolly?

I chop them up, which is a pain as they stick together actually lol. Prob great just whole as a lolly tbh, just peel them first :)
 
Just on way home from work. OH text to see if I wanted some steak pie. I said no!!!!! :D I'll have my soup. Regretting it now mind cos I'm famished. Big bowl should fill me up ;)

Think I'll chop some up tomorrow for when I get in tomorrow night :) Thanks loads for the ideas and support :D Gonna set up some of that sticky chicken tonight too for tea tomorrow. Stole it from your diary :p
 
No idea how i resisted steak pie? Think we're gonna have it Sunday but at least it will be a synned treat and not a blow out :D Well my sticky chicken is in the fridge marinating now, will let you know how it goes. Although I'm not the best cook. Overheated my soup in microwave and currently burning my mouth off! Frozen muller will come in handy ;)

Ive not got all the herbs and spices yet to do the kfc chicken im building them up slowly coz they cost a fortune! Ive not had a pie in over 6 weeks im really missing pastry but its doin my ibs wonders

See I've loads of herbs and stuff in all the time. I like to try new recipe though! You could always have a pie with a potato top? Or a smash crust? X
 
Is there a lot of herbs in the KFC chicken? I may find the recipe and have a think about it. Chicken's all gone now though, or will be by tonight ;) Our pie is a proper one (well ready made one) but I'm happy to syn it as a treat :)

Here's today's EE day

Magic porridge
2 oreo (5)
banana and 2 clementines
home made savoury rice with red and green peppers, onion and tomatoes, and ham
4 finger kitkat (11 syns) :O
Sticky chicken (1 syn) with salad and jacket spud or noodles

Total 17 syns :(

Got my butt to the gym this morning too so absolutely starving. Looking forward to 8 tonight when I have my sticky chicken :D

Let me know how the chicken is - i've some out defrosting, if it's done in time i'll be marinading some for us too... otherwise it'll be fanta chicken or diet coke chicken i think...

Most of the herbs are optional...


10 x Chicken Drummers or 4 Chicken Breasts
1 x Tub Chicken Bovril Paste
1 x Egg
1 x Clove of Garlic crushed (optional if you dont like garlic)
2 x Teaspoons of Ground Black Pepper (optional)
2 x Teaspoons of Mixed Spice (optional)
1 x Teaspoon of mild chilli powder (optional)
4 x Slices brown bread
2 x Teaspoons mixed herbes
 
That's not too bad then. I have everything but the Bovril paste: wonder if it can be substituted for anything as I don't really fancy buying it to find I don't like it and have no other use for it :confused:

I shall let you know how the sticky chicken goes. Tbh I'm very full after my naughty kitkat so might not taste as nice as if I was starving :( Oh well, I chose to buy one and I do have 6 hours till I get to eat so I guess I'll be hungry again by then ;)
