Morning! Ive joined the Monday Morning weigh in at home group and reported a alb loss today which is OK Im going to try and just do it on a Monday, and not thru the week as Id start to get all obsessive...which is not good. The weight is coming off and thats all i should need to know.

Food plans for today then...
Breakfast: 2 weetabix (HEB), with a banana/custard Mullerlight and some raspberries
Lunch: Jacket potato w/ beans and cheese (HEA) (its easy to take to work see, and its satisfying)
Dinner: Not sure yet, but Im fancying some re-fried beans, rice, spicy wedges etc.

Ive got a day off tomorrow so will make some veggie scotch eggs, maybe a chilli too. Ill be doing a red day tho so will need to think of something tasty and meaty...maybe Ill do my turkey burgers again

Finding it hard still to get up in the mornings as feeling low I hope that with every pound lost I can also feel a tiny bit happier.

Fat fingers crossed!

Hey here to subscribe food looks amazing!!!!
Well done on your loss aswell xx

 

[lexximon]

Thank you!! It's great to have support Look out for the photos of food tomorrow: I'm feeling creative so will be making some yummy stuff!

Bit of a mini slip up! Just had 1 1/2 Graze flapjacks: worked out at about 6 syns for 3 bites!! Oh well, not gonna stress over it, just won't be doing that again!!

 

[babytreetrunk89]

Ive done that a lot... graze are very sly and have hidden calores I stopped getting them...

Ive just had a vanilla crispello 8 syns... less syns than a kinder bueno and I love them - these are pretty similar

Didnt mean to have it but went to the shop to get some ketchup and they were on offer haha xx

 

[angwass]

I also used to get Graze boxes but also cancelled them as I find they are quite high syn wise and not worth it. Your food looks brill, looking forward to the photos tomorrow x

 

[lexximon]

Cancelled them this morning as I've got a backlog of 8 little punnets anyway! But yeah it's scary how many syns they are! I do love the little fruit n nut n choc combos they do, but if u look at the nutritional info it puts u right off!! At the moment a malteasers teaser bar is giving me the eye...that's why it's called a teaser I guess! I'm going to wait till later to have it tho, as I may change my mind by then

 

[lexximon]

Ok, so I didn't have the malteaser bar....I had about 6 monster munch instead haha!! I'm guessing that's about 6 syns....?

Didn't fancy much when I got in: I had my jacket potato and beans at work (free) plus an alpen light (3 syns). I did fancy cheese on toast tho, so used my 2nd HEB on 2 slices of bread, plus for the first time I used 2 HEA's and covered it with cheese and some Worcester sauce. Totally hit the spot!!

For some reason I can't upload the photos off my phone, so I shall do some photo bucket links in a sec....

...because I'm sure no ones ever seen cheese before

So today I have used 2HEA's, 2 HEB's, 15 syns and around 1400 calories.

Tomorrow is a RED day, so I shall be having bacon n eggs n tomatoes for breakfast....and that's all I've decided on! I'm going to be a bit creative, so shall cook a few things and then freeze some for later in the week. I'm also going to challenge myself and use my HEB's on something different tomorrow: maybe some hummus on ryvita....yeah I like the sound of that

See u in the morning then!!

 

[lexximon]

I know it's naughty, and I promised I wouldn't do it, but I weighed myself again this morning and I've dropped another pound! Huzzah!! I must try and stop doing it every morning tho...does anyone else have this problem?

 

[babytreetrunk89]

Yep I do... theres actually a serial weighers thread haha
It can be good and dangerous at the same time... I had a takeaway on sat night got on the scales sunday and had sts... not good because now in the future ill think "well I wont put on any weight" but I will... hehe x

 

[lexximon]

Haha true! I think it's comforting sometimes to just know you are doing it right, as a lot of the time I feel like I'm 'cheating'! Like today for example: I've had FOUR venison sausages (2 syns), turkey bacon, fried egg and plum tomatoes. It was so tasty and filling that I feel like I've been naughty, when I haven't! It's great!



Diet food isn't meant to be this yummy!!

 

[lexximon]

Just shared (unwillingly!! ) one of these....totally lovely snack that works out at 2 1/2 syns per biscuit. Great for a bit of dunky dunky in a coffee

 

[babytreetrunk89]

Have you tried the blueberry ones of them??? They are really yummy xx

 

[lexximon]

Ooooooh not yet but I'm sure I will!

Been making scotch eggs this afternoon, but using Linda McCartney red onion and rosemary sausages as the 'meat'. These are normally free as they are, but I wonder if turning them into scotch eggs alters that? I'm going to syn them at 1 each just in case. Also, when mashed up, it is a bit like stuffing mix, so may consider using them as stuffing with a Sunday roast at some point... Mmmmmm

So I've made 2 large and one small scotch egg (just the yolk part). I boiled 4 eggs and mashed 4 sausages with some cayenne pepper. There was only enough 'meat' to do two eggs properly, so I took the remaining whole egg, plus the white from another, mixed it with a tablespoon of extra light mayo and had it on top of a slice of thick toast (HEB). Was an extremely tasty treat

 

[lexximon]

So this is the mini scotch egg. Fudging marvellous, if I may say so myself! Behind it are the two big beastly ones I will be saving till tomorrow These would be great on a picnic, so I may just eat them while sitting in the garden

 

[babytreetrunk89]

ooooh im def guna have to try them!!!! Did you just conjure them up or follow a recipe?? X

 

[lexximon]

Just made it up really!! Not much to it: just boiled the eggs, mashed up the sausages with some cayenne pepper, covered the eggs then just popped under the grill. I've since done a search on these and have found a few people do pretty much the same, but are saying its syn free! Bonus!!

 

[babytreetrunk89]

Probably a stupid question but dya cook sausages first aswell?? X
