Hi Denn! Hope you're ok - will pop over to your diary in a sec. I'm on a track.... mostly retreading it, to be honest, but a track all the same!

Hah that's true! I shall keep plodding on.
Back to uni today - be nice to have something of a routine back. Cough seems to finally be moving off my chest; given the gym a miss this morning, but will see how things are tomorrow.
B - spice pear "coats" (HEXB1)
L - asparagus and red onion quiche, with salad.
D - Thai fish cakes with Asian spiced zoodles (syns TBC)
Will add in syns and other healthy extras during the day.

Aw thank you. Absolutely fell in love with the flat we saw today. Then got home, after leafleting and had a crushing migraine, complete with sickness. Years since I've had one, so no idea what triggered it. Feel better now though. Will have something to eat in a bit, but not worried about whether it's on plan TBH!

D - will be the fish cakes we were meant to have yesterday!
Syns and other HE's to follow

Picked up a lovely beetroot and cherry tomato salad from M&S for lunch. Left the dressing, so totally free. Trying to work up at uni; combination of very loud undergrads and a stupidly hot room is making that difficult at the moment. Determined to be more organised, especially now we're heading towards bigger deadlines and dissertation times!
I have Alpen lights with me as my second HEXB. Not sure what I'll do for my HEXA yet - maybe just some cheese!
And I have a cocoa orange Nakd bar with me (7) to have at some point as well.

Had 3 scan bran (3 syns) with my HEXA of LC light.
Fish cakes will work out at a syn each, for the curry paste. Going to serve on a bed of stir fried greens (because M&S had sold out of courgetti!)
Total syns for the day: 11

Morning all! Early start for lectures today. Also hoping that cough will have moved enough tomorrow to go to the gym. Another SP day today.
B - spiced pear "coats" (HEXB1)
L - TBC
D - some form of veggie, pastaless lasagna (HEXA)

L - egg and beetroot salad. Nakd rhubarb and custard bar (6)
I will have my second HEXB later on - not decided what I'm having yet!
And I'm planning to use butternut squash and roasted red peppers for the layer in my lasagna. Will need to work out some syns for that, because it will be HEXA of cheese, but I have some ricotta to use up as well

Settled on a sandwich thin with cottage cheese for my second HEXB.
Lasagna is going to work out at 3.5 syns per portion (it's probably ever so slightly less, but let's call it that to be safe!)
Then dessert is going to be quark with caramel sauce (0.5)
Total syns for the day: 10

Taken the decision to give tomorrow a miss; chest is still sore and ribs hurt from the cough! But I am booked for classes at the end of the week and will be gym-ing on Friday.
The lasagna was AMAZING, I saw loads of recipes using aubergine, but fancied something a bit "firmer" (?) - it worked beautifully.

Right, up and ready for a long day at uni. Determined to make a good dent in this workload. WI tonight and really hopeful of a good result this week.
B - big bowl of pear "coats" to keep me fueled!
L - quorn mince and BNS with salad leaves.
D - oven roasted veg and fish and potatoes! Yay potatoes!
Will try and keep syn free until WI. Although I may have a Nakd bar and will have some fruit.
Hope everyone has a fab day; not long until the weekend!

Thanks Caz - I nearly fell off the scales in surprise! Now to just keep it off next week, because that seems to have been my real issue.
Yay it's Friday! Although I am working tomorrow - that said, I'm so poor that work is good.
Thoroughly enjoyed my potatoes last night, but back to SP today. I've spoken to my consultant, because I always have cheese as my A choice and I have quark and cottage cheese most days, I'm fine to carry on, just having one or two EE days a week. I actually feel like I have so much energy doing mostly SP, and I'm hardly hungry at all.
B - spiced pear "coats"
L - butternut squash, beetroot (because they're in the fridge!) and probably some salad leaves.
D - TBC. I was thinking of doing a curry, but I picked up the new magazine last night, so I may make something from that.
Will eat lots of fruit during the day, and will post to add other HE's and syns

L - will be adding rocket, salmon and hard boiled eggs.
D - spinach and chickpea curry, with cauliflower rice.
Syns - Bounce ball (8.5) and Nakd banana bread (4.5) - total syns 13.
Also got carrots and sugar snaps to snack on.
Motivated to keep loosing next week after such a good result on the scales. I won't be weighing at my normal group next week. I've booked holiday, but may well go to another group.
