T_T's (hopefully!) dimishing returns!

Thanks both! It was really nice to be chosen by the group. And I actually feel pretty motivated now. I'm enjoying being on plan, generally!

Woken up this morning and my body feels like it's going into shutdown! I guess I've had a pretty intense couple of days and had an awful lot of coffee. OH has popped out to get me some cold and flu tablets. I'm told I MUST drink lots and rest. Sad, because we were thinking of going to Bath for the day. I shall just have a little stroll around town instead.

B - cinnamon apple porridge (HEXB)
 
I added some PB2 to my porridge, as a treat! (1 syn).

L - giant couscous and roasted veg with prawns (0.5syns)
 
I've always been pretty good at making sure I stay hydrated, probably more so since my kidney! I've been on the sofa all day - had a nap and just chilled out. I feel pretty horrific and my voice seems to have gone, as well as just being achy and stiff. Will have an early night tonight and hopefully feel a lot better tomorrow.

I think dinner is going to be some sort of stew tonight, with quorn steak strips
 
You inspired me, Poppet. I've decided that a few cheeky glasses of medicinal red are in order. Also slightly cheating an using a jar of sauce for dinner.
 
Had a bit of a restless nights sleep, but managed a few hours altogether this morning. Feeling a lot better - if still a little bit snuffly. I can't cope with another day of doing nothing, so will be off to town in a bit for a mooch around. Not going to do too much; I have a busy week coming up, I want to put in as much time at uni as I can in between shifts at both jobs!
 
Well, apparently lots of steps can counteract a few(!!) bad meals and some(!!) alcohol.... because I lost 2.5lbs tonight! And not only that, my lovely, lovely group voted me as their Miss Slinky!

Bit overwhelmed, to be honest. We had a lovely group tonight - realised that these aren't just some people, they're actually really good friends too. Heh - getting soppy in my old age

Well done - on so many levels! Fabulous!

Your group sounds amazing - how wonderful!
 
Oops! Yesterday became a mad one. Lots of booze involved. And food was off plan today. Me and my OH had a massive row yesterday- which kind of prompted an evening of insanity.

All ok today. Currently binge watching The Crown- it's really rather good
 
Yea - we're all ok. Lazy day on the sofa, having a Netflix binge! Tomorrow is the day
 
I'm ok, thank you. Lots going on at the moment, and it's taking its toll on me.

We've nearly finished watching The Crown - it's amazing! I recommend it wholeheartedly. We're now enjoying some Ben and Jerry's - limited edition mint one yum! Then back on it tomorrow
 
Morning all - off to finish this report this morning (hopefully!) It's nearly done, we just need to get all of the content in together.

B - spiced squash porridge with apple and PB2 (1 syn and HEXB)

Not sure what's on for the rest of the day just yet, food-wise. I have a few meals in mind, just need to decide when we're having them!
 
Well, lunch didn't exactly go to plan! My boss wanted to take me out for lunch. Went to Yurt Lush , which is just one of my fav places. I had a chickpea burger and chips with salad. I left most of the chips, and will count the cheese as a sneaky A choice and not have anything else cheese today. Probably over syns, but that's ok, I won't have any more today!

D is going to be tuna and sweetcorn chowder.
 
Morning all - short shift at work today, then off to uni to do a bit of work before heading to the stables. Busy, busy.

B - porridge with spiced pumpkin, PB2 (1) and apple (HEXB)

L - tuna and sweetcorn chowder (the whole massive pan worked out at 1 syn, but it's loads of portions, so I feel it's negligible)

D - I think we're having veggie burgers. But OH is in charge, so he may decide on something else.

Sounds like a fab day!!! I hope you enjoy it- love the bottom bit!!

Busy day ahead! Hope you've got lots of layers on for the stables- something about them makes it about 5 degrees colder than everywhere else!
Inspired to make some soup by you and Ruth.. Cold lunches just aren't cutting it.
Hope you have a productive day at Uni- I did yesterday but feeling unmotivated today. Bit of fresh air and I'm going to get cracking!
 
Just popped home to have some lunch and layer up before I head off! It's annoying, because the buses are SO hot - just have to carry lots of layers around. I don't know what yards do, Poppet; but you're right, always colder!

Shift was an odd one - urban planning and strategy meeting. Running a microphone for Q&A in a 250 seat cinema, on your own, is very hard! Lots of steps in with making coffee and then running the mic.
 
Having a packet of popcorn (2.5) because I needed something sweet to keep me going this afternoon!

OH has confirmed that it will be burgers for dinner (1.5 for burger and olive oil)

Hurrah - finally a day on plan. Must stop making a habit of this...although with the rugby on and the Christmas market opening this weekend, I'm not sure it's going to be much better!
