T_T's (hopefully!) dimishing returns!

[Torn_Tranquility]

L - peckish, but not overly hungry. Had HEXB toast with HEXA phili and marmite. Blueberries with free fruit yogurt.

Will probably have a mugshot or something in a bit!

 

[Zafira]

I've ordered this one: Andrew James Tri Blade Spiral Vegetable Slicer / Spiralizer: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home

Very excited about trying it. A girl at work follows palio/raw food, so has been using one for a while it said this style is very good.

Saturday- body conditioning done! Class was a lot busier today. Having EE days at the moment until I have the time to do a bit more planning. I might start to incorporate SP meals into EE days and move on from there I think.

B - banana, blueberries and raspberries with fat free natural yogurt.

S - grape and apple snack pack. Alpen light bar (3 syns)

Not sure what's on the agenda for the rest of the day!

i know someone who's following paleo too

That link doesnt' work ?

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Hm no idea why that didn't work... let's try again! Andrew James Tri Blade Spiral Vegetable Slicer / Spiralizer: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home

 

[Zafira]

That link worked
Looks great !
got good reviews too
Are you going to get a recipe book for one of those too, or just play with it when it turns up?

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

I think I'll probably just play with it when it turns up. There are loads of recipes on line as well. I did pick up a low carb cook book to get some more ideas as well.

S - didn't have a mugshot in the end. Had a little pack of mango before we went to the cinema.

Saw Paddington, which I loved! And just shared a diet Pepsi whilst we were there.

I've just had some slices of quorn ham rolled up with carrot and cottage cheese. Will get around to cooking in a bit.

D - tuna steaks with potatoes and loads of veg!

Alpro (5.5)

Total syns for the day - 8.5

 

[Zafira]

It def looks like it will make some food more interesting!
Awww Paddington!
haven't been to the cinema for years

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Paddington is worth the trip! We hadn't been for a while, but seemed a good thing to do on a rainy afternoon!

I really want my spiraliser now so I can play. Although it isn't going to be SP suitable, I really want to try sweet potato mac and cheese! Although the internet suggests that it can also be done with butternut squash.

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Well, I fancied another alpen light bar (3 syns) - so total for today was actually 11.5

Got some cooking planned for tomorrow and have already done a rough meal plan for the week. Will be doing a couple of SP days to give it a go

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Must stop looking at spiralizer recipes... at least until I know when mine's going to arrive. However, I think I've decided what my first recipe will be (substituting Dijon mustard for mustard powder to keep it free, probably) Tuna, Celery and Egg Spiralized Pasta Salad (Cucumber & Zucchini Noodles) | Inspiralized

WOW!
That looks really good!
I take it the courgette(zucchini) is raw?

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

You can either have it raw, or fry it off. I think raw for this recipe would be fine.

Sunday.... lazy morning. Even more so for my OH, who has literally just woken up and declared he's getting in the shower (don't worry dear, I wasn't doing anything) gr.

Brunch - quorn bacon, mushrooms, poached eggs and potatoes, tomatoes.

S - HEXB toast with HEXA phili and marmite. Mugshot.

D - the last of the pasta bake! 3 syns for the cheese.

Looking forward to my first SP day tomorrow. Less excited about how mad busy work is going to be... and the half an hour over time i agreed to. However, I do have my first SP day to look forward to!

 

[Zafira]

Haha, we have not long got up either!
But woke up to the smell of beef in the slow cooker! ...yum!
Not looking forward to getting up so early again for work tomorrow either !

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Shopping done, just having a few minutes break, then cracking on with cooking!

Will be doing a soup of mushroom and butter bean, with butternut squash and spinach for extra S! As well as a crustless quiche, with tomato, courgette and pepper.

Also had a tin of WW tuna with my toast (2 syns)

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Soup and mini quiches all made! Fruit chopped ready for tomorrow and I've added some vanilla Skinny Syrup to quark as well. Feeling very organised for a change! Added spinach to my soup, so it's very green and looks incredibly healthy!

Had a cheeky Hotel Chocolat chocolate (yes, just the one!) - we'll call it 3 syns, erring on the side of caution.

With an alpro for pudding - that will take me to 13.5 syns for the day.

 

[Zafira]

Well done!
Feeling organised....you & me both!
I have made mini quiches too
All set for the week ahead?

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Morning! Up super early for work... I've agreed to do some over time this morning (have to start somewhere, paying back all my leave early requests from December). Having my first SP day today!

B - blackberries (s), raspberries (s) and strawberries (s) with quark (p) - sweetened with a little bit of French Vanille Skinny Syrup

S - carrots (s), sugar snaps (s) and cherry tomatoes (s). With an Alpen light bar (part HEXB1)

L - homemade soup - spinach (s) and mushroom (s) with cannellini and butter beans (p). A couple of SW mini quiches; (p) for the eggs, plus (s) of onion, courgette, mushrooms and peppers. Served with a small (s) salad. The other Alpen bar for my HEXB.

S - HEXB2 toast with cottage cheese (p) and marmite.

D - SW SP lasagne - using leeks as pasta sheets. Made with quorn mince (p) and packed full of plenty of S in the sauce!

Will work syns in through the day.

 

[Zafira]

I managed to get up early too, surprising as it took forever to get to sleep, must of been fear of oversleeping lol
Lasagne sounds interesting with leeks as pasta sheets, you'll have to take A pic
Have a good day!

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

I'll try to remember to take one before we tuck in! I think it was the Hairy Bikers who suggested it on TV? But my mother oracle (of all things kitchen) assures me that it works well! Review to follow...

Today's busy so far, but at least that means that it's going quickly. Have a good day!

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Decided I wanted a tin of WW tuna on my toast, so had that with quark. (2 syns)

I imagine I'll have an alpro later

Total syns for the day- 7.

I'm enjoying my SP day, but unsure I could do it for a whole week at a time. We shall see. I'm planning to have my SP lunch at work anyway (although I might have a free yogurt as well!)

 

[Zafira]

I don't think i could do the SP for a week either...
