Slimming world advice please :)

[lindseymw]

Well after a disasterous few days....including consumption of lots of wine, party food, more McDs, hangover food....I am now back on track. Only gained 1lb but have lost it again.

 

[AngelUK]

I am sure you'll lose it really quickly again Kate

Well done Lindsey

 

[topsy]

Yep kate I am sure you will loose it again.

I am sure I have gained this week too xxx

Well my peaceful day yesterday where I was supposed to making something to take tonight was instead spent down a&e.
I got a call from nursery saying I had to go pick my little one up as she had fallen and was bleeding quite badly from her head!!
Got there and she has split her forehead open! About an inch long from her hair line downwards! So off we went to the hospital! So I'm not taking anything tonight after all.
Not expecting much from weigh in, will be pleased if I have lost as I'm only 3lb off target but its been a hectic week and I keep picking at the kids food lol.

 

[AngelUK]

Oh my goodness the poor little soul! Is she ok?? Did they have to give her stitches or just glue? Poor sweetie!

 

[nicki01]

Yeh she is ok now. Was so brave. They did think they would have to stitch it and put her to sleep to do it but as it was such a clean split they have got it back together with steri strips I think they are called. Its been 24 hours and she hasn't touched them yet so fingers crossed but they have got to stay on for a week!

She only cried when they cleaned it and was a little trooper for the steri strips.

 

[AngelUK]

Brave little thing! Hopefully she won't touch them and they won't come off during sleep!

 

[nicki01]

I hope not, I'm really not good with injuries, was dreading going there to get her lol! I get really queasy and feel like I'm going to pass out when I see gory things but I was ok lol. I imagine if they stitched it could have been a different matter, I can't even watch hospital programmes although I can watch one born every minute without batting an eyelid! Weird!!

 

[AngelUK]

Oh I find all of that stomach turning actually! Not things like ER cause I know that isn't real but the real life documentaries/series like OBEM, I cannot watch any of that at all!

 

[topsy]

I used to love OMEM but cant watch it now

Nicki I am so sorry about little one she sounds a star bless her heart. Glad she`s ok hun.

I lost 1 lbs this week pleased with that after all the cake I ate on sun!

[lindseymw]

Oh no! Poor LO. Hope she's ok.

What does everyone do if you can't get 5% mince? I got 10% as it was the lowest I could find. Can I just fry it and drain off all the fat? Would it still be syn free? Making Big Mac in a Bowl for tea.

 

[AngelUK]

I think you have to syn it. I often cannot find pork mince at 5%, I think Sainsburys are the only ones that regularly have it. But I usually can find beef at 5%
Hope your burgers turn out nice

 

[Katerz]

You can fry and drain but not sure how reliable that is and for me that's too much of a faff so I would syn it

Been welllll good the last two days! Gone back to having yogurt and fruit in the morning to free up my Hex b for later in the day. Work lunches will be the proper test for me!

I got a weighted hula hoop yesterday, it's fun BUT I have a ring of ouches around my waist today oww

 

[AngelUK]

ow! Sounds painful! But I bet it was fun exercise before though. Will you have to let the bruises heal before continuing? Makes me wonder though if you won't just get them every time or can you wear special clothing to avoid it?

 

[topsy]

Aw hun sorry about the bruises but like the sound of hula hopping xxx

 

[lindseymw]

I think you have to syn it. I often cannot find pork mince at 5%, I think Sainsburys are the only ones that regularly have it. But I usually can find beef at 5%
Hope your burgers turn out nice

It's not a burger. Looks lush.

Brown some mince, add some chopped onion and cook.

In a bowl add some shredded lettuce, sliced gerkins and any other salad things, top with mince and add another layer of salad & mince then pour fat free thousand island dressing and add some cheese (triangles or cheese slices)

 

[AngelUK]

oh yumm! Lovely! I didn't know the fat free thousand island dressing was syn free! Will have to try it!

 

[AngelUK]

Oh by the way, is it the one by Kraft?

 

[lindseymw]

I don't think it is syn free, poss 1syn per tbsp but you don't need much, maybe 2-3 for a huge bowl so not bad syn wise.

I used Aldi's low fat Thousand Island, no idea on syns, was going to aim for 3 syns per tbsp, will google it soon.

It's absolutely gorgeous. Did have a taste of a Big Mac.

 

[nicki01]

Thanks girls.

Lost 1/2 lb which isn't too bad but really really want to hit target soon, My reward is a pub meal of lasagne and then chocolate brownies and Ice cream! I've not cheated once in almost 5 months (apart from Xmas day but that doesn't count)! Every meal has been sw, I've not eaten crisps, chocolate or takeaway! I really really cannot wait!
