T_T's (hopefully!) dimishing returns!

[Torn_Tranquility]

I think I might have to try eye-drops! Antihistamine was never an issue before starting these meds, which is kind of frustrating!

I rode loads as a kid, then had a break with uni and everything. Then when I went back to do my Masters, decided to join the RC at uni. Just had to have a break of a couple of months, after my kidney removal.

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Had a pack of 2.5 syn popcorn. Always hungry the day before weigh in... so annoying!

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Eye drops seem to be helping a bit! I've snacked on low syn bits and bobs today, so will call it a full 15 for the day. Been a bit lax keeping count.

Had my second HEXB and my HEXA of Ryvita and LC light.

I'm back in the office tomorrow, so makes it easier not to snack (just have to avoid cake again...)

I keep meaning to try savory baked oats, but I think that will be Friday morning.

Sorry to hear that your eyes have been causing you some discomfort!! However glad that your drops have helped a bit
Good luck for weigh in tomorrow I am sure you will have done really well

hope your eyes feel better soon x x

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Thanks both! Eye drops seem to be doing the trick - but I can see this getting expensive!

Not sure how weigh in will go tomorrow... but we'll wait and see!

 

[Jenny_b]

best of luck, fingers crossed x x

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Well, today has started better, in that I'm awake! Not sure how long I'm going to be in the office for today, but there is loads to do! I'm meeting with the person who designs our website, to try and make some changes. I'm going to miss this placement! I'm hoping that I might be able to carry on doing some work with them, even if it's just helping on the day of events.

B - carrot and gingerbread baked oats, with fresh strawberries.

L - I'll just grab a salad and some fruit

D - I think we're having veggie burgers.

Will stay low syn until after WI anyway. Hope everyone has a great day xx

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Slight change of plans! After walking to town and settling to work in the office, I got a call to say everyone was ill and wouldn't be coming in! So I've come home to work, rather than sitting on my own. I have better internet connection here (and it isn't blisteringly hot!). At least it was extra body magic, walking back up the steps! And they're pretty steep! (the picture only shows about a third of them - it's a long old climb!)

 

[Trefoil]

I hope that WI went well my dear!!!

Hey Ruth, 1lb off! Happy with that, after the weekend away. Back to a full 5 days of scan-bran again from tomorrow, so hopefully a really good loss next week.

Hope you've had a nice day xx

 

[Jenny_b]

well done on the loss. Hope your eyes are feeling better now x x

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Thanks Jenny - the eye drops are certainly helping!

Bit of a slow start this morning - I didn't sleep that well last night, so stayed in bed until 9. Next door have a new born baby, which is usually really quiet/I don't notice if it wakes, but last night I did! And for reasons I still can't fathom, it really sounded like the people upstairs were playing the piano at about 4am!? So, not the most restful night, but I managed to get a bit of sleep this morning after OH had left for work and stopped snoring in my ear.

I've just grabbed some fresh fruit whilst I write this update, then me and the hula hoop are off to the park.

B - carrot and ginger cake baked scan-bran (HEXB)

L - omelette with salad

D - TBC

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Did an hour of hooping and skipping intervals! Feel SO good for it. And got encouragement from passers by.

Carrot cake is in the oven - I'll have that with some fresh fruit for an early lunch, then head into down, and have a proper lunch later on.

I also popped to the greengrocers and picked up some celeriac, beetroot and purple cauliflower. No idea what I'll do with them yet! Having a little browse of recipes for some inspiration

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Plans made for dinner! Going to do celeriac, potato and sweet potato gratin (SW website), served with quorn fillets, roast purple cauliflower and roast beets. Rather than the parmesan, I'm going to add 40g of low far cheddar as my HEXA.

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Decided to have some popcorn (5.5 syns)

Then a couple of syns for oil with dinner.

Slight change of plans! After walking to town and settling to work in the office, I got a call to say everyone was ill and wouldn't be coming in! So I've come home to work, rather than sitting on my own. I have better internet connection here (and it isn't blisteringly hot!). At least it was extra body magic, walking back up the steps! And they're pretty steep! (the picture only shows about a third of them - it's a long old climb!)

I recognise those steps.... Christmas steps there a killer, great exercise though

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

That they are! But I still prefer walking up them than Park Street! Less Chuggers that way

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Dinner was SO good! Really filling, and I've got a leftover portion for tomorrow. We didn't do the extra roast veg in the end, so we'll have that over the weekend. But definitely recommend the gratin (https://group.slimmingworld.co.uk/recipes/sweet-potato-and-celeriac-gratin.aspx)

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Also realised that I've only had 5.5 syns today. I can't eat anything else, but I do fancy a peanut hottie! (4)

Total syns for the day: 9.5
