The battle of the Bubble

Right I have sat in front of a screen all day! Stopped for lunch and the occasional dance around (crazy lady) on way to school now, dont think my steps are going to be very high today, haven't even shredded yet!! uh oh!! Its been quite nice sitting on my bottom for a change.:)

Hope your all having a lovely afternoon, might treat the kids to a trip in the park on way home, its so beautiful outthere today. x
 
I think u deserve a sit down - u're so busy most of the time!

Enjoy the weather whilst u can - our sunny Spring days have changed to grey, misty and cold brrrr........
 
Upndown, im looking at SE, just to get it clear in my head, I thought the superfree snacks between meals mean just fruit and veg so are you allowed ff yoghurts, quark etc for snacks? It says count the syns in your snack if not superfree, but yogs etc I eat have no syns?! :confused:
Also do the HEXS need to be within your meals or can they also be snacks? for example the alpen lights?
I know when counting the syns it will be the high syn value not like EE when its the low one.
Have I got that right?

Oooooh blimey! I'm not an expert on S Exp so hope I'm giving u the right info here, I've just double checked in the book so hope so but - perhaps someone will correct me if I'm wrong?!

On the syn free yog for snacks (and other syn free food snacks) I've eaten syn free yog, quark and fromage frais everyday I've been on S Exp cos I understand that's allowed.

The book states that we can have H Extras as snacks and I've done that thro'out.

If u decide to try S Express - gd luck - I'll be reading ur diary so it'll be interesting to see what u have to eat - ur food always looks good! Good luck!
 
Upndown could you just glance your eye over todays eats so far and let me know if it can be classed as SE today please

Cherries, banana, melon and mullerlight yoghurt

apple, pear

courgette, onion, and potato frylighted in a scrambled mess. With a side of salad and 1 slice of WM toast HEXB

Grapes

frylighted lean bacon, with onions, peppers, mushrooms, courgette, asparagus, chilli and celery tossed in philly HEXA and pasta. Served it again with a side of salad, had 2 platefuls making sure I had salad both times.

So if thats right Ive had 1 HEXA and B

Could I have my other HEXB (alpen lights) in my cheesecake made for tonight with the quark and morrisons syn free orange jelly. Ive also used the choc orange options 2 Syns. My other HEXA in the milk Ive had in my teas.

If this is all ok I may have just done my first success express with only having 2 syns!!

If not and Im back to EE the Ill syn the alpen light bars 6 syns, 2 syns for options, 3 syns for my milk that will be 11 total. I know which I'd prefer, it will leave me the possibility to have a chocolate if I wanted.

I must admit at this precise moment in time I have no room for any thing else!! :)

That looks perfect to me Bubble - as long as the Muller was a free one (even if it wasn't the cherry/choc & orange ones etc are only about half syn aren't they!) Well done!

Yaaay didnt set out for an SE day but pretty pleased with that. Mullerlight is was a strawberry one so def syn free. Yipee! :D

Wonder if I can do the weekend too the would give me 3 days on SE -ooooooooh feeling hopeful. :)
 
Im good thanx littlemiss. Ive done SE without realising. But like you no exercise today, having such a chilled day didnt want to pant doing my shred. Will do it over the weekend no doubt.

It'll do u good to have a break from Gillian - we won't tell her! Don't all the Olympian and Wimbledon players have a day off during their tournaments - come on if they can have a chill day - so can our Minis athlete!

Yes I think u could - u always seem to have a lot of fruit and veg - and ur Alpen lights are fine as HE B plus u can still have ur syns but as u've found out - with all the fruit & veg and fibre - u feel too full for too many syns - wish I'd thought of doing it b4!!
 
Afternoon peeps. Ive been mega busy this morning. Girls got a gymnastic competition, which they are now in practising for. We get to go in at 2pm so ive come to sit in the car cos there are cakes galore inside! :(
I have brought myself lots of fruit and made a ham and egg salad with a wm roll for my lunch. Im not going to be tempted by the naughties! :rolleyes:

Hope ur all enjoying your sat so far. X

Well prepared and well done - are u on EE or Success Express today? Hope the girls are enjoying themselves!
 
Hiya all! Im finally sitting indoors in my onesie chilling with a glass of wine!! Haha just vimto in a wine glass looks good!!
I am very proud of my little girls the youngest one Andrea has got a gold medal and my God the eldest Olivia does my head in!:confused: Instead of being proud of her sister she had to turn the whole thing around so it was about her and that she hurt her ankle during her routine! That side of her drives me mad, she craves attention all the time and its tiring. Andrea did tell her that the gold was for the family not just hers! aaaww, shes a sweety. :)
Im thinking of using an egg timer so that all 3 kids get 3 minutes of my time without interruptions. do you think that would work.
My boy did give Olivia a hug and said "unlucky hun but you took part, got a certificate, thats more than me so be proud" hes my wise one!
Being fair to Olivia she had some real pushy competitor mums in her group the type that would cos absolute trouble if their little darlings didn't win, thats another story. So all in all they did their best and thats what matters. Im very proud!:D

Anyway guys you can be very proud of me too today, I have been faced with the most glorious cakes and fish and chips on the way home. Not that I eat fish but chips?!!
I did it though, dished all their food up and only nicked 1 - yes 1 - chip! Im not even going to syn that!

I think I can safely say I have had another Sexpress day! The night is still young I guess but I will write my plans out.

Sweet pancakes and fruit salad with a mullerlight vanilla yoghurt (first time Ive ever tried the sweet pancakes and they were spot on)

Cherries, banana

Ham and boiled eggs with salad and a WM roll HEXB extra light laughing cow (1 syn)

Apple, Grapes

JP with beans mixed in shwarz bbq flavouring and cut up bacon, onions and mushrooms served with salad and 40g half fat cheddar HEXA

Plan to eat my quark cheesecake HEXB (for alpen lights) and have used milk as my 2nd HEXA
Have only had 1 syn so the scope to eat chocolate is there if I want it. You what I really don't think I will Im soooooooo full up.

Anyway going to catch up with all my mins threads, there is one Ive joined could take me a few hours, but kids are waiting to watch the voice, hubby at work so I have plenty of time to read.

Well done to ur little girl - I think anything is worth a try with children so I'd give the egg timer is well worth a try!

Glad ur feeling full on Sexpress - I do too - or else I cdn't stay on it lol!!

I made the SW choc brownies today - I have them with fruit and yogurt and they make a lovely dessert for less than 1 syn!

Enjoy the rest of the evening!
