Sian's 2015 restart - time to shift the weight once and for all!

Hi Sian, hope you are having a good week - whoop! on the guy front - hope it goes well!

Re the bridesmaid situation and the need for a new challenge - why don't you find yourself a lovely outfit for the wedding and buy it in a smaller size as motivation to get there for the wedding? That way you'll have a lovely outfit, look fab and feel great - and all without having to wear a frilly dress!!! (Sorry, your sister in law has probably picked out something lovely, but both times I've been an adult bridesmaid I've looked ridiculous - with frills, flounces and bright colours!) xx
 
Re: Sian's restart diary - third time lucky! :-D

That's my philosophy!! I'm aiming to finish them tonight so I can go out to the pub to watch the match in the afternoon. Although I'll be drinking diet coke at that time of day naturally! :D xx
 
Re: Sian's restart diary - third time lucky! :-D

Morning lovelies!! I hope everyone's having a good day so far. Minky...I did hear from the guy in the pub. He text me in the middle of the night on Sunday, so I text him back on Monday, and I haven't heard anything since! Needless to say I'm not particularly amused!! Can't be bothered with that nonsense, so that's the end of that! :mad: xx

Never mind, I suppose it was always going to be difficult with the distance. And as we've got an inspection coming up in school at some point over the next few weeks it probably wasn't a very good time anyway :( I have to say though, I really don't have a huge amount of luck with men though :sigh: xx

My new things for this week are going to be orzo and Peking lemon sauce with chicken, nom nom!

EDIT: Lemon sauce recipe to remind myself!


Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
Juice of half a lemon (I used the whole one, as I like it really lemony!)
275ml veg stock
1 garlic clove peeled and crushed
1cm piece of root ginger, peeled and finely grated (I used a frozen cube, as I didn't have any fresh)
1tbsp sweetener
1level tbsp cornflour
salt and pepper (don't think I used any, only just noticed it!)

Place the lemon zest, juice, stock, garlic and ginger in a pan. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes, until the lemon zest has softened. Stir in the sweetener. Mix the cornflour to a smooth paste with 1tbsp water and stir into the mixture. Heat gently, stirring continuously until thickened (only a couple of minutes in my case). Season to taste (if you want!) before serving.
