Well, yesterday's plans went topsy turvy. Not bad, just really wonky.
I decided not to have the egg in the bacon roll because I was having eggs for lunch. When I got back from circuits, there was a message from my daughter in her house of plague - could I get some medication-type stuff. So I popped to Morrisons to get what she needed and a few cheer up treats and took it all round, by which time I didn't really have time to make the planned leek and mushroom frittata so I had a chicken salad instead.
Thankfully, dinner went according to plan.
Yesterday's meals:
I'm sure the frittata would have been really nice and I will make it later on in the week, I hope.
The Singapore noodle recipe from this month's SW magazine was delicious and easier than the list of ingredients would indicate. I could have used some frozen stir fry vegetables instead which would save time and make it very quick and easy, and I could vary the meat - chicken would work as well as the pork or even a mixture.
I made half quantities and this is half of that so that is tomorrow's lunch all sorted out.
Dessert was a kvarg.

Challenges:
no alcohol
thirteen speed veg/fruit (minimum of ten)
three and a half syns ( seven or less)
(but no healthy extra A)
Today's plans:
B: fruit and yogurt
I'm taking this with me to the spa. It won't be too complicated to eat there.
SW: half a syn for the yogurt

L: Singapore noodles; fruit
It was going to be the other half of the frittata so it's just as well I made two portions of the above for dinner yesterday. It just needs reheating in the microwave.
SW: syn free
D: turkey and mushroom risotto, perhaps side veg; yogurt
I'll use a bit more of the Christmas turkey (and stock) from the freezer and the basic risotto recipe I used last week, in Thermione. I'll add extra veg too.
SW: one syn for a tbsp lighter crème fraiche and an A for some cheese. Half a syn for dessert

Exercise: I'm off to the spa today for a swim and exercise on the machines.
Summary:
one healthy extra A
no healthy extra B
two syns
From the freezer:
turkey in stock
peas
corn
perhaps mixed veg
Poor Beth. I hope she is over it soon. Think we're all going to get it sooner or later - hopefully mildly! Weigh-in last evening was good for me. 2.5lbs off (Club 10 award) and daughter stayed the same, which she was happy with having missed a week having been poorly, and her birthday the week before. We're visiting friends this w/e so will have little/no control over the menu. Luckily she's not a great cook so never eat huge amounts whilst there - it's the alcohol and crisps that'll do the damage! Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really good loss, Julia. Well done! Co9ngratulations on the club 10 award too. Maintaining in adverse circumstances is also great.
DeleteMaybe you could take some fresh fruit with you?
I will stick to plan up to the w/e and limit the damage whilst I'm there. A couple of HiFi bars snaffled in secret should keep me from the crisps!
DeleteGood strategy! xx
