Hi Teresa

Great start for your new diary! Good looking menu, check out the superspeeds :) Shame you're not liking the soup, could you add something to it to make it a little different ? Spice it up ?

All the best for tomorrow :)
 
The soup is ok just not great and i really love food so try not to eat things that are only ok, does that make sense? I have frozen the leftovers (4 very large portions) and i will eat them but with something i do love like my hea in cheddar with beetroot and pickled onions. I think although I like beans if something is too beany (unless baked beans) I don't live the texture. The super speed soup is super beany, i like it slightly better pureed. Also it is a bit too gas producing if you know what I mean !

YEAH still in target range! Well pleased a gain of 1 1/2 pounds but shows my hard work of the last week has undone some of the christmas damage.

Hey Teresa

Menus are looking good, it looks like you're having a good SW week :) Did the mini muffins turn out well ? I've made the squidgy choc cake before and its yummy, but I just wonder if the muffins would sink a fair bit ? When I made the cake, I made it a few more syns as I didnt want to use all the sweetener :) Ever so yummy, either way!
 
They were lovely but quite tiny just easier to eat in class than a slither of cake.

I am having a good week food wise, really determined to more than anything keep a complete diary. I am not able to exercise at the moment as i have hurt my back so i know my eating %

Wow - you're on Tuesday already! I think I need to start planning the week in advance, its nice to know what you're having isnt it. :)
 
Gobolino I love meal planning even though I often change my mind :) If i can't get to sleep I often plan the next few days meals instead of counting sheep :)

Also on tuesdays i often eat my lunch at the gym the little one goes to and my choice is always ham salad or jacket and beans so I plan my day around that.

I am experimenting with not weighing myself this week, i normally hope on the scales every day ... sometimes morning and night :-( Most of this time I just see this as info and do not let it effect me but recently I have found it effecting my day so have decided to go cold turkey but I have to say it is making me anxious for weigh in which is just silly and kind of reinforces my idea that i shold give up weighing at home and instead just focus on whether I am on plan and how i am feeling.
 
See i completely changed today and ended up having an EE day and 17 syns which is very high for me but i think often if i go over 10 i get cross and stop counting lol. So at least I am counting and still within syns for the week.
