I am veggie and use quorn all the time, I love it and even my meat eating hubby loves it, its filling and not greasy!!! I make all the meat things on the red days so they are for EE and green!!

 

[EternalRose]

I had a sneaky weigh in at boots! Ive lost 3lbs in 3 days!!

 

[africaqueen]

Morning girls

ER-Well done hun! that's a fab start. Bet ur glad you stuck with it now eh? ;-)

As regards the quorn mince i have used that often and if you add some oxo or magi cube to give it a bit more flavour it is nice

I cant rem if asda's own version of the dried quorn in the packet is syn free? you just add water i think. If that is free il stock up on monday

Has anyone got any good plans this wkend?

I am not doing much. Been coaching in work the past few days and im shattered. Plus AF has arrived before. I got weighed again an im still STS but hope to lose 4lb this wk.

Not had brekky yet but think il have golden syrup porridge (1.5 syns as il count porridge as healthy extra and the flavoured one brings it to a 1.5 more than plain one)

I was wondering the same Blah!

AF got me this morning too and i still feel mega bloated.
Been good today on the plan and going to have steak with syn free chips and salad for tea. Had a funsize milky way before and going to have a few glasses wine later to deaden my cramps, so probs use about 30 syns today but i dont care. I feel miserable and i have been paid early so time to get out the pub with dh for a change! aint been out for wks and wks with him xxx

 

[Blah11]

i went out to nandos for lunch. had half a chicken with spicy rice and corn on the cob (avoided the chips ) but had aout a pitta breads worth and houmous Nevermind!

tesco are doing 4 mullerlights for £1!

 

[EternalRose]

Right its been a good day on the food front..but my af seems to have turned up which I am not happy about at all. (TMI possibly) I had the implanon put in November, and since then all I have had is like a month of no bleeding and now its all started again!.. I hope it dont last too long this time, it doesnt seem to have affected my weight loss though because like I said Ive lost 3lbs but dear God, I was not happy to see this af at all!

Todays Menu...(Ive put this in my journal as well..)
For breakfast I had, Two slices of wholemeal bread with 2 extra light dairy lea triangles instead of butter. I had bacon in it, without the fat and 1 egg. All cooked in fry light. I had a small dollop of beans on the side.

Lunch - Muller Light Yogurt... ( Not much, but been feeling a bit under the weather..with flu)

Dinner - Matthew is currently making Slimming World Chicken Curry as we speak..with rice looks delicious!

Drank lots of water today..

Snack: 2 finger KitKat 5.5 syns, which I will have after tea (Total 5.5 syns for today)

Exercise 20-30 mins Ministry of Sound Workout DVD.


Oh and my consultant emailed me today, with some yummy lunch ideas...will copy and paste now..xx

LUNCH BOX IDEAS

If you have access to a microwave at work an easy option is to put out an extra portion when cooking dishes that can be reheated such as chilli con carne, spag bol, casseroles, hot pots etc to take with you for lunch. But failing that here are few ideas:-

Boiled eggs
Mug Shots
Chicken, bacon and potato salad
SW quiche and salad

Chickpea dahl and rice Asda tinned Chickpea dahl and Sundar chickpea dahl (available from Morrisons) are free on green and extra easy.

Tuna pasta salad Mix together tinned tuna in brine with cooked pasta shells, sliced leeks, chopped cucumber, pickled onions and capers (optional) cherry tomatos with 2 tbs of fromage frais and 1 tbs of extra light mayo (1 syn) then season with a few splashes of lemon juice, worcestershire sauce and a few pinches of all purpose seasoning, mix well and chill before eating!


Mexican Salad (Serves 2)
1 tin kidney beans
1 tin Sweetcorn
Chopped red pepper
Spring onion
Chilli powder to taste
Mix together with LF fromage frais
Serve on bed of lettuce, cucumber etc

Mixed Bean & Cheese Salad (serves 1)
1 tin mixed beans in vinegarette
Cucumber
Spring onions chopped small
Cherry tomatoes halved
Salt & pepper
Mix all together
Add 20g Mozzarella cheese (3 syns) sliced into very small pieces on top


2 x Ryvita wholegrain crackerbreads (2 syns) broken up into about eight pieces each so that they resemble a bag of crisps, to go with these lunches.
Follow the lunches with a few piece's of fruit - apple, grapes, cherries, pear, banana whatever.

4 Turkey fillets
4 tablespoons of Quark
2 Spring Onions
2 Cloves of Garlic
Handful of Spinach
Pinch of Black Pepper
Fry Light
4 Slices of Parma ham (or bacon without fat if u want it syn free)

Spoon the mixture into each turkey fillet and close the fillet over.
Place a few spinach leaves on top of the turkey breast, and wrap the parma ham or fat free bacon around the fillet.
Spray with fry light and sprinkle with black pepper.
