Bellys to Bumps

[cranberry987]

Yus and it really does mean that I feel like I'm not on a diet. I get 4 extra hex. So if I'm on a green/red I could eat 4 small slices of bread and 210g if cheese!!!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

That's loads!!

I'm fonna see how I do I my own. It worked for me last year, but if it doesn't go well I'm getting my mum to come to sw with me!

 

[EmmyReece]

That sounds like a good plan Pix

I've been feeling sorry for myself today so have been wanting sweet stuff so instead of using 4.5 syns on my pasta sauce tonight, I had them as a portion of choccy philadelphia on a sandwich with banana. Was an odd combination, but tasted really good, and I had 1/4 of a melon too

Going to make my own pasta sauce tonight with passata, onion and garlic

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Well done for sticking to your syns hun it's hard went your having a crappy day.

So I had bran flakes with banana and raisins for breakfast
A tiny baked potato with cottage cheese and lots of veg for lunch
Snack fruit and natural yogurt

Not sure about dinner. Carl wants steak pudding and chips so think we'll have to have completely different meals tonight

 

[EmmyReece]

It sounds like you're having a really good day

Any ideas for food tonight then?

 

[Lil_Pixie]

On gonna have home made wedges but I dunno what with

 

[twinkle1975]

Afternoon!

You all seem to be doing pretty well today!

Sorry you're feeling sad Emmy xxx

 

[cranberry987]

I've had bananas and supernoodles. Sat here starving and rich isn't feeding me!! He's farting about in Thr kitchen bloody cleaning or something. Put food in me instead please!!

Gonna get him to make me a chick pea loaf. Mmm.

 

[cranberry987]

Having roast chicken tonight mmm. Roast pots with spray oil and veg. Mmm. Hungry!

Also I dyed my washing pink as my mum helpfully hid a red shopping bag in my machine><

 

[Traskey]

Uh oh Cran, that sucks. Have you got any of that run remover stuff?

 

[cranberry987]

I'll get some today but I know it doesn't work with some materials.

Had scrambled eggs and toast and Greek yogurt for breakfast. AND grapes those muller light greek yogurts are rly nice. Have cherry ones next.

Will have sandwich for lunch and have lamb shank for dinner. Ooh the Tesco lamb shank with mink gravy is free on sw and it's amazing. Also the gammon and honey something is free but I've not tried it yet. Not sure about gammon.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I had bran flakes with banana and raisins again, but that was at 6.30 so I just had brown toast with extra light philly.

Xanders crappy is sleep is ruining my diet as well as my sanity

Mmm think I'll have pita with veg and Philly for lunch. Dunno abou dinner yet. Maybe a baked potato with beans annnnd I dunno! Lol something else.

Oooh I had veg fingers, wedges and beans for tea last night. Veg fingers (like fish fingers but with veg in lol) are amazing! And only 110 cals for 2 fingers - yummy!

 

[twinkle1975]

Mmm I love veg fingers!!

Didn't do so well last night - had to pick M up from work at 6 & be at my work by 6.30 so ended up getting a Subway - I did have a 6 inch turkey & ham rather than a 12 inch tuna vut still not good & then about 10.30 I had a sandwich & a small bowl of chilli at the pub quiz

Today I've had weetabix & milk so far

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Could you take some snacks with you to work so your not tempted?

I just want to eat today! Grrrr

 

[twinkle1975]

I made sure I didn't snack at work at all yesterday - the subway was my tea - it just wasn't a good choice. The supper at the pub was just a total lack of willpower though. I was thinking that next week I'll make Wednesday a green day & then I can have a big bowl of boiled rice with a little tiny bit of the chilli just to stop it being dry - then I won't feel like I'm missing out but I can avoid the butties!

 

[Lisa84]

Or you could make it an extra easy day and have the best of both xxx

 

[twinkle1975]

I still really don't understand Extra Easy - I feel like I'm being totally thick!!!

 

[Lisa84]

It does take some getting used to but once it clicks then you will be sorted.

On EE days you can have as much of the the food that would be free on green and on red days as you want. So you can have as much pasta, pots, rice as you want and as much meat as you want. You do have to sacrifice 2 Healthy extras tho so on an EE you can only have 1 HeA and 1 HeB. You also need to ensure that each meal has a 3rd superfree food with it.
I'll use a boring example. You could have chicken, chips and veg because chicken is free on a red, pots are free on a green and you would need to make sure the veg was a 3rd of your plate.


Hope thats helps a bit but i am a bit crap at explaining things xxx

 

[cranberry987]

Subway salads are quite nice. I actually think snacking is a good thing as it stops you inhaling food later.

Just had chickpea loaf, salad and choc philli!

 

[twinkle1975]

I was just reading in one M's Men's Health magazines that research has shown that if you use contrasting coloured plates to your food you eat less - eg mash on a blue plate & if you match your plate to your table cloth you'll eat even less!!

I'm thinking of buying a couple of red plates (we've got red place mats) & using a ceramic pen to mark a third off so I know I'm eating enough veg - I'm a master of self deception!
