T_T's (hopefully!) dimishing returns!

[Torn_Tranquility]

Seems a shame to be inside on such a gorgeous day! We had a wander around town, and it's lovely out there.

L - prawn and calamari salad (1 syn for sauce) and Shapers popcorn (4 syns)

Will have my second HEXB of scan bran and HEXA of LC light this afternoon I think.

D - cod in spicy tomato sauce, with spiralized mooli and turnip.

Will be having my meringues tonight with quark! (3.5)

Total syns for the day: 9.5

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Dinner was lush! Cake looks really good, so will also be having a piece of that this evening (1.5)

Meaning syns will be 11 for the day.

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Cake was lovely, a bit of a sweetener after-taste, so will experiment with which sweetener I use in the future.

B - spiced pear "coats" (HEXB)

I have a training day at work, so not really sure what will happen food-wise, as I imagine they'll feed us. Will just have to make the best choices I can and be a little bit flexible today if necessary.

Have a lovely Monday everyone xx

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Today was off-plan, as expected. But line drawn and straight back on it tomorrow. Couldn't really control food at work (but probably shouldn't have suggested that we got Chinese from Sainsbury's on the way home! Although I imagine it was better than a real take-away... ) I enjoyed it anyway. AND totally fell in love with the house that we viewed this evening, so will be going into the agency tomorrow. Then it's the waiting game to see if the land-lord accepts us as her new tenants. Property is just going SO fast here at the moment.

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

What a wet morning! Will be wading up to the estate agents in a bit! Working 17.00-22.30, so late finish. OH is going to cook, so decided to have an EE day.

B - Spiced pear "coats" (HEXB)

L - Veggie mince, probably with salad.

D - tuna, vegetable pasta in tomato sauce (HEXA of cheese)

Syns to follow

 

[jules1981]

Sounds like you had a busy weekend. hope you get the property you like.

xxxx

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Thanks Jules. We're playing the waiting game now... can't do anything else until we hear back from the estate agents!

Haven't specifically had any syns today, although I did pinch a biscuit at work and had a bit extra cheese. Will stop there for the day, but I know that I am well within syns.

 

[Mini]

TT fingers crossed you get the house!

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Thanks Mini! I just spoke to the estate agent. I have never known such a rigmarole for renting: but the landlords now want to meet us!? Apparently they live next door, so i guess they want to know that we aren't going to be the neighbours from hell!

What a miserable day.... still warm and muggy though. Decided to have an EE day again.
B - spiced plum "coats" (HEXB)

L - TBC

D - Quorn sausages with mash and vegetables.

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

L - because I'm working late, kind of having a two part lunch! Salad bits and a packet of Skips now (4.5)

Then will make a quick cheesy pasta dish using my HEXA for before work

 

[jules1981]

Oh hope you get on ok when you meet them hun xxxx

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

It's my OH meeting them, I have to be at the hospital tomorrow for my kidney scans.

So a long afternoon at hospital, then WI. If the weather's nice, I'm going to stroll up and pick up some fruit and a new book en route.

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

STS this week - not really surprising. My head hasn't really been in it this week, and if I'm honest, I haven't really stuck to plan properly. New week and will be on it from tomorrow. I have a BBQ to go to on Saturday, which will involve gin... but apart from that will be hitting up an SP week

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Morning all! Happy Friday. I've decided to have an EE day today, simply because there are potatoes that need to be eaten. I'm working 12.30-6.30 today, so will try and eat before-hand and take fruit with me in case I need a snack.

B - spiced pear "coats" (HEXB)

L - salad of some description! I'll probably add my A choice of cheese

D - sausage and mash (which we didn't have the other day!)

Will update syns later

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

L - adding prawns and eggs to an edamame and peashoot salad (3 syns for dressing and sweet chili sauce)

Will fit my A choice in somewhere later! Possibly in my mash tonight?!

 

[jules1981]

STS is good hun and sure you will loose next week, I haven't done SP so will be interested to see what you eat

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Thanks Jules - I do quite a lot of SP, because I like having the second B choice!

Going to have a low syn day today, which will counteract tomorrow a bit hopefully. Off out with friends, but will be sticking to diet coke. If I have one G&T, I probably wouldn't stop at that! Been a long day of moving furniture around, and I know that the gin will be flowing tomorrow.

I'll have a slice of cake (1.5) when I get home later, with some sweetened quark.

Total syns for the day: 4.5

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Well, the weekend ended up being off plan. So the line is drawn. Must stop letting one day off become two!

B - spiced pear "coats"

Not sure what else is on the menu today. Although it will be an SP day.

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Good dissertation meeting, feeling a bit more confident with the direction I want to go now. Made some notes for my literature review, but hadn't taken any food up with me, so have come home for a late lunch.

L - prawn and egg salad (2 syns for dressing) and a packet of M&S piri piri pea snaps (4.5)

Not sure what we're having for dinner yet, got a few things in, but not sure what I fancy! Will be having my HEXB(2) of scan bran with HEXA of LC light later. And dessert tonight will be lemon meringues with quark (3.5)

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

D - roasted med veg, with spicy salmon, a hot tomato salsa and cauliflower rice.

Total syns for the day: 10
