Breakfast - 42g All Bran with milk (HEA and HEB)
Lunch - Stuffed Turkey Breast (one and half syn) with rocket, spinach, spring onion, red peppers, yellow peppers and cucumber.

Rocket Soup - Serves 4 - SYN FREE

You will need ....

400g Potato - peeled and chopped into chunks
200g Shallots - peeled and roughly chopped
140g Rocket (2 bags worth)
1 Litre Vegetable Stock
Pepper

Spray a saucepan with frylight and add the shallots - cook on medium heat until they soften.

Chicken and Pea Risotto - Serves 4 - Syn Free

You will need ....

1 Large Onion, chopped
1 Celery Stick, finely chopped
1 Leek, finely chopped
Fry Light
283g or 10oz Dried Risotto Rice
1.1L or 2 Pints of Chicken Stock
220g or 8oz Frozen Peas
283g or 10oz Cooked Chicken, Shredded

Spray a deep pan with frylight and cook the onion, celery and leek for 15 minutes to soften.

Add the risotto rice and stir in.

Gradually add the chicken stock, a spoonful at a time and stir the risotto continously. (Best to add more stock when the last quantity has been absorbed by the rice).

After the stock has been added and the rice is looking plump and is on a low heat add the frozen peas.

Cook for a further 20 minutes - stirring often.

Add the cooked chicken to heat through.

Enjoy!

BFAST: Chopped apple, grapes and raspberries topped with vanilla mullerlight
LUNCH: Alpen light bar(HEB), apple, satsuma
TEA: pasta with tuna, onion, sweetcorn, beetroot and peppers. Mullerlight yog.

I'm obsessed with the scales too

I usually weigh myself every morning "just out of interest" but I only take notice of what they actually say once a week. I'm feeling really great at the moment I'm starting to really feel like I've list weight... My clothes are getting loose, and a few people have commented on my weight loss

I'm really determined to stick with this, I feel so much better about myself, like I'm actually worth eating healthily for iykwim?! I've always been overweight from a young child, so I'm determine to get down to a healthy weight

Today I've eaten

B- 2 slices cinnamon toast, grapes and muller light
L- savoury rice, chicken breast, sweetcorn and mushrooms. Then an apple
Sn- an orange
D- Spag Bol, not sure what I'm gunna have for afters yet... Maybe a mini twister for 2.5 syns
