Oh to be a consistent Target Member!!

[janetelizabeth]

I reckon it's as hard as losing all those pounds too!! From what I've heard at group amongst fellow target members, we all like to try and stay at the lower end of the target range...less stressful!

I preferred to be at the lower end, as it gives you more freedom, I just don't seem to be able to get back there, as now, I am more towards the top end!

I had a bagel with vegetable tofutti cheese when I was away !

 

[janetelizabeth]

Good for you Jaffa...I'm almost at the end of my tub...wish they made smaller ones because I don't eat it quick enough. I wonder if it would freeze?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I looked on line and it looks like you can't freeze it
I have yet to track any down but lactofree cheese is fine for me

 

[janetelizabeth]

Thanks Jaffa, I looked too and agree. The lacofree isn't good for my eyes...maybe the milk element?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I remember you saying that about the lactofree cheese .
A tub lasts me about 2 weeks maybe even 3 before it goes off but usually when I open a tub I plan my meals around it like
Smoked salmon and cream cheese on corn cakes
Baked sweet potato with cream cheese
As a dip with carrots cucumber etc
And even in soup
I know there are loads more uses but my brain is like mud at the moment !

 

[janetelizabeth]

Thanks for those ideas...I have to get past the 'spreading it on Ryvita' stage. That's what I wanted it for really but should do some lateral thinking!

OK...so today was an off plan day for sure.
We went out to Eastbourne and had a "meat free" carvery meal...including stuffing, roasties, large yorkshire and veggie gravy. That was very nice and then I had a dish of blackcurrant Eaton Mess! That was extremely delish.
Later I had an Options (took a flask of hot water) and 4 Bournville dark choc biscuits! (Oh boy they are good!) Needless to say....I don't want anything for supper tonight!
We probably walked for about 3+hrs...doubt it will impact that lot though!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

And that's why you have a nice comfy target range so you can have days like that !

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes but when I include...Wed & Thurs & Fri...!! lol.
I need to be careful because I know I'm not going to group next week for weigh in...(dentist) so need to stop myself going free fall!!

 

[janetelizabeth]

I did brave the scales this morning...it's called 'shock tactics' in my book! 10.6 1/4....say no more!

Breakfast: Options (2) chopped fruit & Alpro yogurt (HexA) 6 walnuts (HexB)
Lunch: jacket potato, chicken style pieces with stirfry veggies and Cantonese sauce (4 1/2)
Snack: Options (2) small 85% dark choc (7)
Supper: corn thins (HexB) Tofutti (small portion HexA) grapes. Minis (HexB)

Total syns: 15 1/2

Thankfully it's been a pretty restrained day, eating wise!!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I braved my scales and they didn't frighten me at all which is why I am still not back on plan.

I reckon most of that is bloat and it will go down by Wednesday

 

[janetelizabeth]

You're made of strong stuff Jaffa!! lol. Yes I'd say bloat too...that comes off fairly easily when we've over done it! I'm expecting some off tomorrow too.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Fingers crossed

 

[janetelizabeth]

Scales down 2 1/2lb this morning...bit more respectable at 10.3 3/4!

Breakfast: Options (2) chopped fruit & Alpro yogurt (HexA) 6 walnuts (HexB)
Lunch: 2 sausages, steamed veggies, (left over) homemade savoury rice (?) chilli sauce (1)
Snack: Options (2) small 85% dark choc (7)
Supper: corn thins (HexB) Heinz sandwich spread (1.5) grapes, minis (HexB)

What to eat with my corn thins for supper? 1 tbsp nutella = 4 syns or Heinz sandwich spread 1 tbsp = 1.5 syns. Better finish up the sandwich spread jar then! (that nutella might be a bit too moreish for me to handle!)

Total syns: 13.5 + savoury rice (?)

Good 2nd days eating...that's me, an all or nothing person! :sigh:

 

[janetelizabeth]

Scales up 1/4lb...probably the rice if I need something to blame!!

Snack: pkt hula hoops (6.5)
Lunch: jacket potato, feta (small HexA) Tuna (HexB) really light mayo (1)

Went downhill at my daughters...ate chocolate biscuits.
