That ham and pineapple pizza sounds lovely. I've been hearing about these smash pizzas and must try one to help DS2. Sure he would love that.

You really should go for that Woman of the Year award Lily. You've done so well.
Whatever happens in the end I've read in the mags that all the finalists have a lovely time there.

I really loved reading Rebecca Fyfe's story in July SW mag and had a look at her blog. It looked so much fun at the awards.

OMG hun you really do need to try the pizza...it's bloody gorgeous...I am absolutely stuffed lol...forgot to add the pineapple in the end, just had mushrooms, peppers, smoked ham with my Hexa cheese on top..also made the 1/2 syn roulade (half a syn for the whole thing) ...plenty there for about 6 slices ...yum yum yum lol..probably my best SW day food wise so far lol
I will have to go back and look at Rebecca Fyfe's story, I remember the name and I think the lady too (she's a red head with I think about 7 kids if I remember rightly), but other than that I don't recall lol...I got our simon's (alzheimers, it actually does run in the family, so wouldn't surprise me ) hun lol, I read a lot ..always have but I'll be darned if what I read stays in my head for more than 5 minutes lol
I am definitely going for the woman of the year, I feel I deserve it too, or at least deserve to give it a go ...
I am off to do a bit more exercise, I feel so bloated, I need to work it off lol, catch you later xx

Hi Lily, just finished reading your diary ( inbetween kids house and hubby lol you wouldnt believe im not atually working this week coz life is hectic as ever!) youve done so well and have really helped spur me on with the exercise
Am thinking after seeing your menus that EE may be worth a try, im just not satisfied that green days are my best option, even though they are obs fab for hubby!
Will see what the scales show tomoz morn, a sneeku peak yesterday showed 1 lb on! But totm could be to blame for that? Oh well we shall see
Have a great day

Hi Anna,
Thanks for having a look, I know how hectic life can be with little ones to look after, a house to run and you work too..:wow: am amazed you get any time to do anything on here.
Like I said I love EE, suits me perfectly, don't personally feel the need to change (not right now any way, not going to say never), as I am still losing at a good rate and I am really happy, although I do believe a change is as good as a rest, so I might at some point look at the other plans.
I love the exercise, it's a huge part of my life, which is weird for someone who just a year ago could barely drag my butt out of the chair lol and I believe the biggest contribution to my continued weight loss, with very few hiccups.
Gl for tomorrow and whatever happens, tomorrow from the time you weigh in, starts a new week and that's another spur for me..as soon as I step on those scales last weeks is forgotten and this week begins...xxx

Just checking out your smash pizza for syns, Lily.

It is absolutely delish hun, make sure you don't make the smash too soggy (I found about 12 or so dessert spoons full of hot water was about right) and I added some pepper and garlic powder to my base mix..:wow: really tasty ...I love pizza and considering Pizza hut large slices are 15+ syns each on average, I'll settle for these any time lol without the pineapple and as long as you use the cheese as Hexa, they are totally free....I found that 1 pack of Mr mash 120g, makes about a 12" pizza and the cheese if low fat (42g) was just right and you can have any syn free toppings you like, mine had smoked ham (Sopocka it's Polish yummy) as that's the ham I like xx

Loved your smash pizza. Made it slightly too thick in the middle but only just. Was lovely and I added a few dried onions to the mash which was tasty.

Okay, whats this syn-free soda? Is this another secret I'm missing out on? Come on - educate me Lily.

Ohh kept reading about your crumble yogurts. They are soooo good. Thanks for that.

When I was growing up, there were 7 kids and my parents in our house and treats were very thin on the ground so an ice cream soda was our big treat for the month. When I joined SW I had to give them up...too many syns for the ice cream, but suddenly thought yesterday..I wonder and did a search and I found it and by god is it good lol....

I bought Onken Fat Free Vanilla Yoghurt, froze it for about 3-4 hours and added it to my sugar free cream soda ...oh :wow:...so delicious lol and a treat I can have when I please as it's FREEEEEEEEE lol

Last night I had some of my rice over, that I had added the banana and custard yoghurt to earlier ....and I decided to add the crumble rhubarb one ...OMG heaven in a bowl lol x

Oh and if you like Pasties, you really need to try Bilsat's Instant Mash Pasties recipe on SW Sizzling Summer Recipes ...very yummy and very much like the real thing ....

The Pizza base I was the same but after looking at other threads found if you put cling film over the top after you have mixed it, then you can roll it out with a rolling pin ....all clever stuff lol xx

I love cream soda and also grew up having ice-cream sodas in the 60's when I was little. Loved them. Must give those a try. :drool:

Can well imagine those crumble ones are lovely in rice. Why did I know learn about those sooner? DH loved his apple crumble one, which is a tad annoying as they are MINE!

Have a lovely weekend.

edited: must find that pasty recipe and a great tip for rolling the pizza. Will definitely be having it again so will do that next time.
