Went to make coffee and caved into the carrot cake. I genuinely had a piece 3cm by 1cm but it was so worth it. I'll call it 5 syns to be super safe cos it won't be SW friendly... and i think an average slice is about 20syns and I didn't even a 1/4 of the square. chicken salad for lunch though so its syn free

 

[MilliesMummyx]

my afternoon at work. Drank 2 bottles of smart water, 1 full refill with diluting juice and the one in above picture is nearly finished too.
About to start sparkling ice, never tried it before but seen it in shop and fancied some flavour.

Breakfast - pink lady apple, white coffe
snack - tiny piece of carrot cake, literally one bite (calling it 5 syns to be safe)
lunch - same as dinner last night, rainbow salad and mixed spice chicken

lots of fluid today. So hot still!

Dinner will be spiced steaks, home made chips and salad. Maybe all thrown onto some crustless kingsmill for my HEB as a bit massive steak sandwich haha!

YOU are doing so well with your fluid in take well done hun.... I need to follow... I drink to much coffee xxxx

 

[MilliesMummyx]

I'm usually terrible for drinking lots but think big problem I have is fluid retention and in this heat I've been so thirsty (or "droughed" as us locals would say here)

In total today I've had 1.2L water, 1.2L diluting juice, 500ml sparkling ice, 500 ml ribena, 330ml can of lilt zero and my coffee approx 400ml so that's 4l of fluid. No wonder the loo has been my most visited place today

Dinner quickly changed. Had another rainbow salad- lettuce, red onion, mixed pepper, carrot, sweetcorn, cucumber and some cheese. Put coleslaw on plate but didn't eat it. Made chicken wings and removed skin. Thought I'd bought thighs so was quite upset when I realised lol. I also forgot about them in oven so bit burnt but that was removed with skin

Sun's still shining

That looks so yummy!!!! Well done again on the fluids do you make your own coleslaw? And do you have a recipe?

[MilliesMummyx]

No I don't make my own coleslaw, wish I did. My boss makes lovely curry coleslaw. Which is relatively low syn and I suppose remove curry powder that'd be standard coleslaw.

She grates carrot, cabbage and thinly cuts red onion. Raisins, extra light mayo and curry powder to taste. Not sure on quantities though cos it's always a massive salad bowl she brings in for everyone to share lol!

I'm only my 4hr shift tomorrow so I doubt I'll be as good with fluids tomorrow. I think I went over board today still never out the loo lol! X

I will have to have a look into that coleslaw! I've looked at SW ones but never found a recipe that I liked to be honest!

Lucky you with your 4hr shift- enjoy it!
I'm sure you didn't go overboard it's just those nasty toxins escaping! You're lucky with the weather, it's not brilliant down here and hasn't been all week!

Enjoy your Friday!

Weather had been great, it's never like this here haha. It won't last much longer I expect.

Had my little shift today, came home stripped beds and put them out to dry, tidied full house, picked up little one then went to view house. Really liked it but it was just to rent again rather than buy so not sure if I wanna keep renting or get a "grown up mortgage" lol. Decisions decisions. I just want out this house. It's not big enough and no storage ( I sound so old writing this post, I'm only 27 haha!!)

You are so lucky- we managed two hours nice weather here this afternoon and that's it!

You have been a very busy bee! I know what you mean about the rent/buy debacle. We are saving for a deposit and have decided to stay where we are until we can afford our deposit. House prices where we live are extremely high (Harrogate has recently been voted the Happiest place to live in the UK apparently?!) but it's drink prices etc are on a par with London so everything is extremely expensive and there's a major lack of affordable housing so I do understand :/ we live in half a house (the whole of the ground floor including the garden) and we can hear everything upstairs which is ok sometimes as they're away a lot, but I can also hear all of their conversations the walls are that thin!
Have you got everything you would need to buy? I'd go for it if I were you, if there's something that ticks the boxes (I'm 25 btw and I think about this a lot lol!)

All I can write here today so far is is I need coffee lol. Forgot to weigh this morning!!! Was my early start and I had a grumpy toddler so scales were forgotten.

Had a bad off track weekend all around tbh.. took yet another period (my cycles away to pot since starting back slimming world!! every 2 weeks ) but heres the diary regardless....

Saturday

Breakfast - cinnamon grahams (6) white coffee
Lunch/snacks - 2x can of diet bru, apple
Dinner - (we went out) chicken tikka, spiced onions, slice of garlic naan and slice of peshwari naan (cut into small squares), chips, pilau rice, 2 spoons of chasni sauce, more chicken tikka, then halves a slice of choc cake and cream with OH, 2x diet bru

so well over 15 syns and my days drinking involved zero water (except my coffee haha)

Sunday

Breakfast - skipped had to go pick up millie (this is where is all goes wrong)
Lunch - greggs pizza slice (14.5), toffee crunch cake (cant find ?15)
Dinner- mixed meat grilled/BBQ'd - chicken, lamb and minced kebabs, small salad, chips.
Drinks - 4x can diet bru, 2x can of lilt zero

Again, well over syns and no water in sight. I had a lovely weekend with daughter in garden and enjoyed my meal out with OH. We only get a child free night once a fortnight (which I realise is more than most!) but I like to relax and not over think things when I do. Dreading the scales tonight/tomorrow but I deserve a gain if I get one.

Todays challenge is water water water!
