lost a pound and not overly delighted with myself cos i had been so very good and upped the exercise, 10 fold. but its a lb and thats a loss. write soon buddy xx

 

[pebbles67]

ok guys heres thursday
up and off to work , weigh in on the work scales this morning so weighed in and lost 1 pound.
pleased, but could try harder as they said at school every blasted report - easily distracted - huh, yes ok so thats still a problem but not with chattering its- crisps that say - 'over here come get me'
breakfast
alpen (1heb) with yogurt and fruit berries.
really busy morning and then just managed to drop in a spot of lunch 'on the hoof'
lunch kerry low low cheese spread (3syns) with black pepper in a sandwich (1heb) with sliced tomato. boots shapers cheese and onion sticks (4syns), bowl of fresh fruit salad, shape mango yogurt.
left work to do the school run. got home with a hunger pain the size of mount everest, so i had a snack of a bowl of carrot and coriander soup, 1 slice of bread with a spoon of peanut butter ( i know i know but i didnt put the jar in my cupboard the naughty fairy bought it and made me eat it). :479: a little bit later i had a babybel light and a small piece of quiche that needed to be finished.

to stop me eating anymore i made the cheesy potato croquettes ready to bake. then put on my lycra suit - picture this - actually no dont!. put on my ipod and ran out and around the block - not once, oh no, see i am superfit now - pah! so i ran twice round the block.:character00115: On my return i hooked up to the oxygen tent and drank a gallon of water. Reaching for my asthma inhaler i collapsed in a heap and said -' 3 times around tomorrow kids'! they just looked at me in a sideways glance kinda way and went back to eating sweets and watching american kids tv- gotta hate it!

so tea time finally came hoorah, although now i wasnt hungry.

we had quorn sausages 2 and a half sausages each, sweetcorn, beans, baked tomato and baked mushrooms, with the newly created cheesy potato croquettes which were very nice.
now- a mention on them there croquettes deputy.
1) the recipe says 0.5-1 syn each serving, and serves 2. my mix made 14. i couldnt have managed 7. so we had 3 each and they were very filling. the kids liked them too. some left over for the other half to take to work tomorrow.
2) the recipe states couscous, i used sainsburys harissa style couscous which gave them a chilli taste in the background.
3) i used kerry low low cheese thus getting a bigger amount of cheese. i likes me cheese!
4) i added spring onions to the mash. very nice they were.
give em a go.



i'll be back in a mo with the syns for my peanut butter downfall. :busted:

I do like your food diary Pebbles you make it sooooo interesting .

 

[pebbles67]

I do like your food diary Pebbles you make it sooooo interesting .

IM SO PLEASED YOU'VE SAID THAT COS I THINK IM JUST RAMBLING ON.
let me know if theres anything you'd like put on here in particular. i'm gonna put a couple of things i buy regularly . x

 

[pebbles67]

just a few things i buy regularly to help with my SW journey. if you like butter on your jacket or in your mash. why waste the syns when you can have something as tasty for much less. this is where butterbuds come in. if you havent already tried them , give them a whirl. you can buy on ebay, they are £3 plus £1 postage for a trial pack of 10 sachets which are 0.5 syns each . use one sachet on jacket or mash. or add another if you want it extra buttery. i dont add milk to my mash anymore just 2 sachets of butterbuds , and i get creamy mash. well tasty. and i'm not getting commission on this why?

you can then get bigger packs ie 40 sachets for a fiver and so on.







different cheeses, i love my cheese. the kerry low low spread is divine its lovely strong cheesy flavour is awesome. its like dairylea but nicer and less syns. just 3 for 28g., not a HEXA yet. the kerry grated is a HEX though and you can enjoy 52g for a hea.
the laughing cow lights i love and now ive found the laughing cow deli blue cheese squares i am in cheese heaven thank you very much. tried the black pepper low low spread today in a sandwich with sliced tomato and it was very yummy.



i buy these ww cheese crackers for £1 in poundland and they are 2.5 syns for all 3 crackers and very nice too. i usually take into work with my hexa and have after a bowl of home made soup.

i have a bag and i mean a carrier bag of mushrooms which i need to eat before they fester. so i have posted a new thread on minimins called 'mushrooms? any recipes' so if you have any feel free to add them to it and we can keep them all together.
the same goes for this thread , if you want to leave a recipe on here so you know where it is, feel free. it'll help you find it and it'll help others out with a recipe.
night for now x

 

[Kankles]

Here I am buddy! Look at u all super fit now going out jogging round the block! I'd resemble something off little Britain if I was to get the lycra and bright pink leg warmers on!!!! Jimminy cricket can u imagine!

[pebbles67]

i tell you what me little flower petal, you have just made me laugh out loud so much that the other half shut the lounge door because i was disturbing his film- oh excuuuuuuuussssssssseeeeee me!
thank god i havent married him or he'd be up for divorce. earlier i got - 'shall we watch a film' watch a film i said! huh! ive got menus to plan and weigh ins to sort.- youre always on that bloody thing he says.
well , get used to it pal cos im off to wales to get me some grass.
i said i need to plan menus- im searching for new ideas. he says - ' but youve got hundreds of recipes and cant we just recycle the recipes weve had.
shame on him - men they think its all so easy when wifey has dinner ready at home.

i laughed so much i really did. work - yep i know what thats like. ive never worked in such a *****y profession as nursing and as for the surgery receptionists- blimey they are truly unbelievable at our place.
i prefer to work with men, at least you know where you are. say what they think and move on. sadly there is only 1 male midwife where i work.
im not too saddened by my pound and i dont want to make anyone feel bad cos im slagging off that little pound, but for me i thought it would be 2. end of that rant.
im sure you will have done at least 2 cos youve been so focused this week.

im staying on track tomorrow but saturday and sunday will be hard for me this weekend. i'll try my best. every 3 month or so my bestie mate and me go to a spa weekend saturday am til sunday am. we usually have a treatment- facial this time and then a sandwich and cup of tea, then dinner in the restaurant. we are taking a friend who is celebrating her 50th birthday and they want cream teas. so im taking a couple of packets of ww biscuits to have with my pot of tea. i dont really fancy scones and cream anyway. then im having the steak and madeira sauce with veg and chips but im not having a pudding. so im sure ill go over the syns but i'll be good the rest of the day. then sunday breakfast i may just have to have scrambled egg and ask the chef to grill me some bits rather than fry them. god im really looking forward to it.

ere kanks how did that pudding recipe go that you were going to try.?

Lmao! God u make me laugh....excuuuuussssee me! Pmsl I'm gonna be laughing for days about that one!

I get the same I'll start smirking or giggling and I'll get "what's happened, what are u laughing about" and I'll be like waving one hand saying oh please, u just won't get it!

It's got to be a man thing saying ur always on that damned thing! I got "ur obsessed with that thing earlier"..... Um yeah as obsessed as u are about GP! I'm sure they think we buy the food ready made from a SW Market or something, I don't hear them complain when u put a plate of SW chips & SW KFC in front of them, ooohhh no , I get caveman grunts "hhmmm mmmm" as he eats!

Completely agree about the preference of working with men, us woman.....well we can be like lionesses! Claws out, raring for the next cat fight!

Oooh spa weekend, u lucky bugger! Not done that in ages! Last time I was in a spa was in India, I giggled half the time I was in there, OH thought it was a good idea to have a massage, I stuck with a facial & pedicure, he came out of the room looking White, I was still in the chair having my ped mind, so I asked him "what's up, everything ok", he said "they made me put on a paper thong, and then this guy jumped on all fours on my back" pmsl, god I'm crying remembering, he said "I didn't know whether to scream or punch his lights out" lmao I laughed so loud in this spa room, I think they thought I'd gone mad, tears were streaming down my face!

Let's say he never went for another one during our stay!

Anyway hope u enjoy ur soa weekend, if they ask u to wear a paper thong.....run!

Sounds yummy, how many syns?

Ps had exact same experience with hubby in India too lol! I was working in Mumbai and he came to visit, tho we went for a double massage room, I got a lovely relaxing massage but he went for a more 'energetic one' shall we say. I peeked over at him a few times and the woman was contorting him into all shapes and he was trying so hard not to cry out in pain, well sorry but I was silent laughing that much (and tryin not to in case i got shouted at by his scary masseuse!) that my massage was ruined. Sooooooo funny, we still laugh about it now.

 

[pebbles67]

Oh you two had me in fits! Last time I went to the spa, the woman says to me I ve left a pair of knickers on the bed , strip off and pop knickers on, put towel over u and lie down. The knickers were what can only be described as a tea bag! I laughed so much that she hurt me with her elbows in my back .
