Oh to be a consistent Target Member!!

[Jaffa Cake]

My scales have gone back into the wrong kilo bracket and obviously we have a meal out planned later

 

[janetelizabeth]

Sounds like me yesterday...I really wasn't planning on eating out but Joseph seemed excited so I agreed.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

We tend to eat out on a Saturday either lunch or dinner depending on what we are doing or have takeaway or treat dinner at home ie pizza garlic bread etc

 

[janetelizabeth]

Well have done my best today. Joseph asked me to make a nut loaf for lunch...I had some but haven't done any calculations. Maybe not too high in syns?
Must be my day for cooking again as the next request was a sultana cake...I made a sultana loaf using a recipe I'd never used before. It's an old one and was in ounces which wasn't a problem but I misread the amount of boiling water for 1/2pt instead of 1/4pt. I sort of realised and so added another couple of spoons of flour and hoped for the best!! lol. He's just eaten two slices and said it was good! phew! He can be my best & worst critique!

Breakfast: Options (2) chopped fruit & Alpro yogurt (HexA) walnuts (HexB)
Lunch: 2 slices nut loaf (?) frylight roast potatoes, steamed cauliflower, broccoli & carrots, 1 tsp cranberry sauce (0) (1tbsp = 1)
Snack: Options (2) choc (7)
Supper: minis (HexB) apple

Total syns: 11 + nut loaf

I would have thought it would have been super high in syns sorry but I do love nut loaf

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes I agree, if I'd been closer to weigh in day I would have had something else.

 

[janetelizabeth]

Bloat going and the scales obviously didn't mind the nut loaf...down 1 1/4lbs - 10.6 this morning. That spurs me on now to stay on plan until Weds.

Breakfast: Options (2) chopped fruit & Alpro yogurt (HexA) walnuts (HexB)
Lunch: 1/2 bowl butternut & carrot soup (1?) (leftover) savoury rice (2?) chicken style pieces, steamed brussels sprouts, carrots, green beans & peas.
Snack: Options (2) choc (7)
Supper: minis (HexB) apple.

Total syns: 14 approx

Why would the soup be synned ?
I think I will get a shock on the scales on Tuesday and that will be my kick up the backside

 

[janetelizabeth]

When I make the soup I use a big fry pan with some EVOO and saute the onion, carrots & squash a little...probably a couple of tbsps. Then I just add stock cubes and hot water and simmer until cooked. Blitz the lot, tip into a big pan and liberally add coriander, salt & pepper. That lot made 8 portions.

Can you make some progress during tomorrow?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

1 tbs of evoo is 6 syns so 2 would be 12 syns

Could you not use fry light ?

I am just not feeling the sw love at the moment and I am not feeling 100% so I am comfort eating

 

[janetelizabeth]

I'd need a whole bottle of frylight for that size pan!! 12 divided by 8 = 1.5....and I have 1/2 a bowl so 1 syn is OK.

Now Jaffa...comfort eat on some healthy A&Bs and free stuff or you'll be panicky tomorrow and not want to weigh again...yes!! :bighug:

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I'll try thank you
So far no chocolate today but it is after dinner the munchies start
Dinner is already planned wedges or chips salad and a veggie burger of some sort or Quorn steak

 

[janetelizabeth]

Ha ha I just saw your days eating...nothing to worry about, I reckon that your syn treats = 20!!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

At least I have had some fruit and veg today which is a big improvement on previous days eating

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes looked very healthy to me! well done.
