[Blondeshavemorefun]

Welcome one and all for our 3rd thread since jan 2013

Blondes is being very bad on holiday :) but once back in uk I shall be back on sw

'Plumps cushions' and hands out healthy sw snacks and

Been to the gym today. Haven't been for ages coz of work

B weetabix and skim and blueberries
L quiche a la blondes - ham and onions and peppers and bakes beans - grapes
T not sure. Possibly Chinese ......

S boiled eggs and yog and banana

I didn't have anything to eat yesterday, apart from 2 slices of w/m toast last night about 10pm. I had a dodgy tum all day

Today i've just made myself some soup, using peas and carrots left from one nights tea. I heated them up in some veg stock then blitzed them. Sprinkle of white pepper - lovely!

May have an omelette and beans for tea.

I just have to share- I've just been shopping and tried on some jeans in a size down and.... they fit! And they're not even tight. Happy happy

I've been good so far. Had muesli and almond milk as breakfast. Used my HexB choices to have big bowl (I'm BF so supposed to have a 6 Healthy extras! I never do tho!) then for lunch had two chicken thighs with skin removed with a massive plate of salad, free dressing and some mixed pickle and baby beetroots. Was yum! Dinner I have no idea. If I'm lucky will be Indian takeaway but I'll have chicken tikka with no sauce and boiled rice.

Just been for a Toby Carvery. It's almost like they knew I was coming and had new potatoes out instead of mash! No fat at all on my gammon or turkey and I also had lots of carrots & peas. I need to count syns for some butter on the potatoes and some stuffing but otherwise all good!

Mini - Be warned Toby puts butter in all veg - even carrots and peas / sounds healthy having roast dinner and veg but often is :(

Isaac - yah for smaller size jeans :)

Beth - sorry poorly :(

I was doing well yesterday until I had a Chinese blow out. I stopped counting syns once I hit about 30. Having said that I rarely have more than 5-7 syns per day as a rule so maybe it won't hurt too much. Syn free day today so far:

Alpen light bar for breakfast (HEXB)
Jacket potato, beans, bacon and a squidge of cheese (HEXA)

Indian takeaway for tea tonight but won't be going over my syns. Scales are definitely moving in the right direction. Fingers crossed for 3lb off this week.

Thanks for the pancake reciepe I'm gonna try Tomo morning I need to get some oats!

Today strawberries and fruit Fibre
Grapes
Now gonna munch on some carrots
Takeaway tonight x

Have a great day all x

Oh I tried one of those chocolate orange wotsit yogurts.lush.

Went to bed early last night to avoid eating any more syns!! Really struggled yesterday for some reason. Bit better today. Not hungry at breakfast - am feeling a bit off today. So far
Large orange, yogurt (3 syns), very small piece of birthday cake and a bite of Flump(!) (ds has been to a birthday party!!). Planning Bolognese for tea (1 syn as added ketchup).

Fortunately the plate of cake for the adults didn't get to me or I suspect I would have been tempted!!

Have a good day everyone!

Why is salted popcorn more syns than sweet or toffee? Bah.

That doesn't make sense HolidayArmadillo! But reminds me that I need to look up the syns for some flavoured popcorn I tried recently. It was yummy - salt and vinegar flavoured (I love salt and vinegar crisps!!) - I'm hoping it was relatively low in syns and a good alternative to cisps but suspect I may be disappointed...!!

Anyone know how many syns is popcorn if I make it myself? It's only dried corn isn't it? So if I used no or very little oil it should be pretty healthy??

Not sure about popcorn, sorry Once.

Today has been good-
B- weetabix (HEA and B) clementine
L- chicken and bacon salad, free vinegarette
D- Just ordered an Indian takeaway- chicken dopiaza (7 syns) boiled rice (free) and Bombay potatoes (7 syns) not going to miss chips and naan at all, oh no!

onceipop the app says 25g popped without fat is 4.5 syns

I'm sure I've seen popcorn without oil 4 syns somewhere. I've foregone the Indians tonight as I don't trust myself not to get a ridiculous amount of poppadoms and naan bread, so its chicken stir fry with sweet chilli sauce. 5 syns for the sauce.

Thanks Huff. Will have to try that. Do you think it means 25g after its been popped or 25g dried corn?

I'd LOVE to think once popped but that seems too good to be true imagines piles of popcorn for 4.5syns so would say kernels

Just looked online and it says 25g popped without fat so I think it is 4.5syns for the popped version?? That would be quite a lot of popcorn though

Surely popcorn is basically fresh air though? looks hopeful

Oh yeah and on the veg too but that's OK that's still not too bad.

I've been saving my syns for a glass of wine, & now I've got a chance to have it I don't fancy it . There's no chocolate in the house either

I'm confused about popped or unpopped...

Sure would be popped and prob get a lot for 25g as so light

Averagely sweet seems to be 5 and salt 6 - which is weird

Where did you buy the salt and vinegar popcorn? Sure I had it years ago - love s&v things

B - scrambled egg n wholemeal toast (hex)
D - chicken drumstick, ham, side salad
T - Nandos 1/4 chicken skin removed, corn on the cob, handful of DH chips (wanted some but not a full portion)
Snacks - cups of tea & 1 kk dohnut

Did a 3 mile walk AND a 3 mile run.

These were the first 'treats' this week. Normal service will be resumed tommorow

So today:
B - Fruit, fruit and more fruit, grapes and melon in the main.
L - Bread (HE 1 slice 400g wholemeal loaf) smoked salmon and scrambled egg.
T - Peppered mackeral, potato salad with extra light mayo and salad.

Snacks: chicken ham, strawberries, grapes.

Syns: 1 Alpen light, cherry bakewell, (3) 1 Muller light greek strawberry with half a meringue crushed into it (3) and a small piece of Turron = 10 all together.
