Who ate all the (Cherry) Pies???

[boo68]

I know, I don't think either of us will be hitting the dance floor this weekend (although thinking about it, it was hitting the dance floor - quite literally!! - that got me into this blinking mess!!!). Foot is improving but far from right, but at least I can see it getting better every day - I hope that your neck eases up now over the weekend. Perhaps its time you were due a workstation / dse assessment at work?

Red day for me:

B - 28g porridge oats (B), frozen summer berries and natural yogurt all left in the fridge overnight swiss bircher style.

L - SW quiche made with 2 eggs, 1/2 pot quark and ham

D - swordfish cooked in a dab of garlic butter (3), new pots (B), salad
icecream cone (9)

Other A - milk in tea

Syns: 12

Hiya Cherry

My neck is definately due to a sleeping position apparently Mr Boo woke up to find me with my head tucked right into my chest some how, so when I woke up I was literally stuck like it, what am I like lol. Mind you I do have 2 screens on my desk so I'm going to ask for an assessment again.

Hope your foot eases up soon, catch up with you later Boo xx

Good morning all, I'm up early and enjoying the first cuppa of the day knowing that I don't have to rush to go anywhere today, mmmm, lovely! Mr Pie is still asleep so just me and the 3 furry fiends so far - although Alf keeps woofing at something in the garden - only little gentle woofs (which is good for a dog who weighs almost 13 stone!) and the whole scared backwards walking thing but I can't work out what it is! I've been outside a few times to look but nothing out there that I can see! We have a few of those big windmilly things, and they've all been there for months, but dopey dawg has probably only just noticed them!!!

Jackie, the foot incident was pretty funny if it hadn't been so painful - a fancy dress party where I stepped off the carpeted area and onto the dancefloor and did a spectacular slide to the floor! I managed to sprain the outside of my ankle, the inside of my foot and completely dislocate my big toe! They said it would be at least 6 weeks before it all starts to feel normal again....

Well I hope you all have a lovely relaxing weekend and I'll be back for a catch up later xxx

Yesterday's food: EE

B - Mr Pie made a gorgeous breakfast hash - in one big frying pan he dry fried onions and mushrooms, syns free sausages, bacon and cubes of left over boiled pots. When all was done he broke 4 whole eggs in and tilted the pan about to fill in all the gaps. When the eggs were nearly done he added 42g each of low low cheese and popped the whole pan under the grill to melt and brown the cheese. Served with tinned toms - oh my, it was stunning!!!

L - just an apple on the run after the mega brekkie!!

D - pasta and chicken in a sauce made of toms, peppers, chilis, onions and mushrooms with quark stirred through to take some of the heat back out. wm bread roll to make up HEB
(Mr Pie had the fakeaway donor kebab meat with wm pitta, tom & onion salad, mayo and chilli sauce - he was a very happy bunny!!)

Had to count milk as syns today - 6
2 french fancies - 9

syns: 15

[cherry-pie]

I'd highly recommend it for a weekend treat - or even as a proper dinner, it was so lovely I couldn't really believe it was on plan!!

 

[cherry-pie]

Pretty relaxed day today, mooching about the house. All the washing has line dried, the bed is changed, the dogs beds are are all washed, the dogs are groomed (which is no mean feat with two very long haired german shepards) and I had a very lazy couple of hours in the garden this afternoon with a jug of sf squash and a book - who needs the high life eh?!

Red day

L - wm roll (B) salad, hb egg, ham and cottage cheese

I've come for sneaky peak on your diary.

Ouch with the foot. What you did sounds really painful. Hope it feels better soon.

I've only read the last couple of pages and your food sounds gorgeous. I'm definitely gonna read the rest of your diary as soon as I get time.

You've lost loads. Are you finding it easier the more you do it or has it always felt easy for you? If I'd read from the beginning I'd know the answer.

Hello cherry pie!
meant to say this awile ago, but your description of hurting your foot had me laughing with tears down my face! would have loved to have seen it! cant believe its still sore tho!:/ Your breakfast sounds unbelievably gorgeous!!! will definitely be trying that one!

How'd the bbq go?! we had one on sat night too! did youu get the weather for it?!x

 

[boo68]

Hiya Cherry hun hows your day been? Hope the foot is feeling a little better and work wasn't too busy. Mine seems to have slowed down now, actually its near enough stopped. I'm having trouble finding things to do! I think I've entered the twilight zone! Hope your having a lovely evening Boo xx

Hi Tillymax, thanks for dropping by. I lurve to cook - and love to eat the results(which how I ended up here!!) so like trying new recipes. Its really odd though as I think I find winter SW much easier than summer SW - I enjoy salads but much prefer soups and casseroles, its just too hot eat them at the moment! Plus we have so many more parties etc in the summer so I find I'm tempted much more often! I need a good couple of losses again now to spur me back on again!! I hit my 6 months SW anniversary in about 2 weeks and would really like my 3 stone award by then which would put me bang on my own target of 1/2 a stone a month all year....

The sorry but hilarious tale of my foot has kept me and everyone around me laughing for weeks!!! I have packed cruella safely away as I don't think she is my luckiest outfit ever - although I should be grateful I didn't break anything so perhaps she was lucky afterall!!
We did manage a barbie, it wasn't the warmest ever but it had to be done!!! I'm waiting for the british corn on the cobs to come into the shops (where you can buy them in their green jackets) as nothing tastes better on the bbq, mmmm, drooling at the thought!

Hi Boo, you OK? I'm glad you're slowing down before your week off, I hate tghat feelinf of trying to rush just so you can take your booked time off! Its the opposite here - I'm doing three jobs at the mo - my own, my assistant's who we managed to find a new role for a few weeks ago and my future position that shouldn't really start until October when my department closes! Strangely though I'm loving it!!
Have you got any exciting plans for your week off?

Hiya Cherry

I'm fine thanks, went for a lovely walk today around 50 mins long as I've got race for life on Sunday. Can't wait for my time off, we have nothing planned just a nice rest Boo xx

 

[tillymax]

I find it easier in the winter too. I think it's because I like comfort foods and like you said it's too hot in the summer for most of them.

The good thing about summer is all the fruit

Hope the foots still improving.

I'm sure you'll get that 3 stone award

 

[boo68]

Another crazy but good day here - and I got out of the office on time too which is a bonus! I don't mind doing some more work when I get home if needs be but I really don't like still being at my desk late into the evening!

Excellent day foodwise:

[cherry-pie]

Mmmm, I was tempted by the bottle of bulmers in the fridge but settled for a syn free cuppa instead - although right now trying to persuade Mr Pie to visit the scary buried under the stairs, bang your head overspill freezer to see what lollies we have!!!

Well done on the 1 1/2, fantastic!!

Re 3 more wake ups - we're like the opposite of little kids counting how many sleeps!!
