[Emmab178]

Hiya. I am addicted to the popcorn, especially the lime and chili one.
Question on the pulled pork, what cut of meat are you using? I see people eating it alot in their diaries but when I went to look for pork (I think it is shoulder) there is way too much fat on it

 

[Sawyer]

Hey, yeah the popcorn is my new favourite 5 syns!!!

When I make pulled pork in the slow cooker, I use shoulder of pork, but cut the skin and rind off. Try and removed some of the visible fat from the outside but overall, I just eat the joint as it is after that! Pork in general is quite lean as long as you take the skin/rind off the outside! For the pulled port in my rice, I just bought tesco hot and spicy pulled pork meat that I saw in the sandwich section! Heard on a Facebook group that it's free!

Thought I'd done so well and forgot about my damn freddo craving before I left for work then a wee slice of toast after my lunch as it had mostly gone off so had to chuck some! Damn night shift messed me up!

My husband and I have an appointment at the fertility clinic Thursday at 4pm. Nervy nervous!!

 

[Sawyer]

April 21st 2016 - THURSDAY - finished nights 0800 now off on annual leave!

So my husband and I had an appointment at the fertility clinic at 1600. It went really well, and have got a plan for now - keep losing weight, get below 35 on bmi and if still not pregnant after that, refer back for medication to boost ovulation. They were so nice and I feel so so positive!

I hadn't eaten before we went, and the diet kind of went out of the window, post night shift and on a bit of a high so we went and had burgers at Frankie and Bennies, followed by an ice cream as it's the most beautiful day here in Fife! Such a treat, and indulgence but life is for living! Back on it tomorrow.

 

[Emmab178]

Thanks for that. I sometimes get a gammon joint if its looking lean and cook that up. Was wondering how you could do the same with pork shoulder as they all look so fatty! Mystery solved.
"Tesco hot & spicy shredded pork, chilled 130g pack"? 4 syns
"tesco slow cooked pulled ham, chilled per 100g" free

Let me know if you want anything checking on the app. Since I am only maintaining I might give up on group again. Its hubby who really benefits from it and he is away for a month. I can't be bothered to go to pay for a maintain! They will tell me to do a diary (can read it here!) and eat more SF lol

Great news on your fertility appointment.
