I also have had another high syn day

 

[janetelizabeth]

I know how you feel...sometimes I just want to break free from the regiment of SW!!
I'm a little worried about the hula hoops...seem to feel I need some 'salt', I do add salt when steaming veggies but know I'm mostly borderline in blood tests.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Border line for ???

I rarely add salt to anything have never really liked it but I do add it to cooking never on anything afterwards bar soft boiled and poached eggs !!

 

[janetelizabeth]

Deficient in sodium. I never quite make the number on the blood test. Doctor often remarks on it and tells me to use some...but like you I'm not usually keen on salty things.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I dont think I am tested for that as part of my 3 monthly blood tests !

 

[janetelizabeth]

I think it's part of the full gambit I seem to get. Supposed to be for my thyroid, but back comes the cholesterol and this time he's included Calcium & vitamin D.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I already take calcium and vit D tablets - Dr prescribed !!

 

[janetelizabeth]

I had them prescribed in Spain but have been buying them OTC here but a little concerned about the quality.

Yesterday I finished off the box of triple choc biscuits and had a Fry's choc cream. Didn't do too bad food wise last night at party. Scales up to 10.5 1/4lb so time for me to get back on plan 100%...or I'll be struggling come weigh in day!!

Snack: Options (2) chocolate (7)
Supper: salad, 1/8 piece lentil bake (HexA) fat free dressing, 1 dsp sunflower seeds (HexB)

Total syns: 15.5

I'm really enjoying the soya chicken style pieces...I was loathe to try that sort of thing because of tofu, I just don't like that at all; I think it's the texture?

Been a good day's eating, stayed on plan!

For now I'll be using the grill and combi in the microwave, I do have a cookpan too and of course I can make a stirfry etc. The hob is gas.
