Ooooh the new Hifi bars sound nice.... I'll be looking out for those. I'm not on facebook so I dont think I'll be able to see your pictures. I forgot to take any pictures of fridays tea or any food on the weekend, so I'm not going to be posting up a whole week. Perhaps I'll take a whole weeks worth next week. I'd love to be able to come up with professional looking pictures but I think that'd mean eating cold food (as steam makes the picture blury) and spraying oil on everything (to make it shiny!)

Glad you had your McFlurry eventually. Your syn total for the week is looking good!

[gobolino]

Sorry to hear you're having a grumpy day. Hows it going now ? Did you manage the rest of the day and then have your treat ?

Its always in the back of my mind about cake batter, when thinking about baking too. Also I'm the same if I make crumble mix for apple crumble..... so I tend not to make them very often or wait till I'm in a controlled mood (if that makes sense).

Hope the rest of your day went well.

 

[Derbynanny]

Still in a horrible mood but know it is just because i am tired but i have succeeded in being fairly good.

I did have a couple of soldiers leftover at tea time so will count
1/2 slice of granary bread and 1 tsp of clover (2.5 syns and 1.5 so 4 syns)

total syns 56 1/2 /70

Could even have a creme egg tomorrow if i want too

[gobolino]

Wow - that all sounds brilliant Did you use fresh cherries - yum yum yum !

Are you putting a quark mix inbetween layers of the black forest gateaux ?

It all sounds very tasty indeed I hope everyone appreciates the cakes!

Hi Teresa

Good to 'see' you back, I'm sorry to hear you've been down in the dumps though. A bad back can really get you down, especially as it does take a long time to feel better. Slowly but surely you will get there though.

Your menu's are looking good

 

[Derbynanny]

I am H U N G R Y today i know some of it is due to the fact that I am going out to lunch and have no idea what will be served so I am panicking ....how silly is that? I do not like being out of control of my food .

Teresa

 

[Derbynanny]

ok totally behind on my diary and no time to catch up !

Monday was fine wasted points on a sandwich at lunch time but no choice.

Tuesday was an even hungrier day but did fine and luckily we were all out of sugar at work so couldn't make cupcakes !! But have been in intense pain with my back went to bed early instead of pigging out.

Got weighed today and lost 1 pound shocked but happy Have also been for physio which was super painful but i can actually sit down now without horrible pain.

 

[Derbynanny]

Well have a few moments to write todays diary but have managed to get all in a muddle with my syns this week haven't gone over any day but have no idea where i am exactly so today I will have up to 15 syns and then start my week off fresh with 105 tomorrow.

I have told my consultant that until I am pain free i am going to work on maintaining my weight instead of trying to lose.

So I am aiming for 105 syns and adding in a HEB each day. Will see how that works,

Wednesday (green day)

breakfast
yogurt, fiber plus bar (HEB) and a plum

lunch
wedges and chick pea dahl !! YUM

dinner
veg soup and SW ploughman's (ryvita (HEB), cheese (hea), branston( 1 syn), pickled onions and tomato)

pudding
snickers bar icecream (9 syns )
i could have another fiber plus but not sure i will have room (full so didn't have extra heb)

Syn total 1 for milk in tea + 10.5 = 11.5
HEA 42 g rf cheese
HEB fiber plus and ryvita

Maintenance HEB wasn't hungry for it !
