No more excuses

Okay, so I'm going to seem really stupid here but is that the awful gloopy stuff? I don't get it because I think it's disgusting. Could I use stock instead?
 
Yeah it is, some people have put on the recipe section that they used 2 oxo cubes mixed in a bit of boiling water instead to make a paste then mixed it with the egg.
The bovril jar is really salty for me but it's nice to make roast potatoes with, I've done that a few times, they taste like real roasters :) x
 
I did roasties on Sunday with fry light and they were beautiful :D Just par-boiled them first, then on a really high heat, I think it was 220, for 30 mins. They were amazing :D Will be trying the KFC chicken next week methinks :)

Erm, that was a typo I think lol. I meant 6 :p I've not seen Bovril paste either?

I've seen the micro tip used for sw chips too :) like sazbirl said you can use oxo cubes too. Got me some drumsticks today to try it out on too. Sticky chicken tomorrow though so might do it for sat night tea. X
 
Does it work if you don't parboil them? I daren't do it cos I'd be disappointed if they didn't work :(

Well, I had a sneaky WI this morning and 4 lbs on lol. Was expecting it so never mind, will update when get my real WI tomorrow though.

Here's today's (hopeful) green diary

Magic Porridge (HEXB)
banana, satsumas and pear
low fat super noodles or free pasta in 5 with side salad
Mullerlight
speed soup
2 Oreos (5 syns)
Slice of wholemeal bread (HEXB) with low fat spread (1 syn)

I'm fully aware I'll probably end up eating more but this is the plan ;) Off to Zumba for an hour at 1 so I'll be starving by the time I get home, hence the quick and easy lunch :)

Yeah mine always have. Don't pay too much attention to sneaky WI.... I have to remind myself this as I had one this morning and am showing a gain too :( I've been on plan so let's not worry until we have to eh ;)

Enjoy zumba :) must chase my sister as I asked to borrow her wii game and she hasn't brought it yet. X
 
To be honest if it is again I know where it's come from and now I'm under my 10 stone sticking point I'm not really that bothered: as long as I don't go over that I'm pretty happy :) Easy pleased girl that I am. Zumba was amazing. I really need to get it for the kinect at home but I think part of the fun today was doing it with a group.

Fingers crossed for your weigh in. I can't see you having a problem, and if you do I know you'll deal with it well :D

Glad you enjoyed it. I want a kinect. Can't bring myself to spend the money though as I dont use the wii lol. Maybe when the kids are bigger. Have got to try Zumba at some point though, everyone seems to love it.

Good attitude. WI, like you say though your under 10st and that's a huge achievement. Lot me know how you get on though won't you. Fingers crossed for me on Monday. See what it brings. Am just about to cook dinner, we're having the sticky chicken tonight x

Tbh my OH bought the kinect, along with the xbox and pretty much everything! He's a gadget geek. Well I'm having an amazing Friday night sat in studying lol. Will all be worth it in the end :)

Good luck Hun :)
 
Ok so 2 lbs on, taking me to 9 10: which is my natural weight! Lol. Once again fighting nature and I lose. Ho hum. Going to stick with the plan and see if I can get below it but if not I'm happy here anyhoo. At least with SW I'm eating a more healthy and varied diet :D

Here's today's EE day

Bacon, tomatoes, beans and egg
Banana and pear
Wetherspoon's veg burger and chips with a small dry white wine
Potato skins, Chicken Parmesan with real chips and veg or salad

Okay, so I know the tea has many syns in but it's grandparent's golden anniversary and I ordered the food weeks ago. Will try to be good with drinks but I'm not going to be overly strict: back on plan tomorrow and tbh if I can stay at 9 10 I'm quite happy with that :)

To add to the earlier comment: lunch is now looking naughty too :-S Fully aware I have no will power: I'm a five out of 7 kinda girl. Can be good for 5. I know this may affect my weight loss and if I have probs I know what to do to correct it but at the moment I'm not doing too badly so going to enjoy the time I get with OH and family. It is so rare I get it :p
