Just been editing some photos from Thursday night and there were some on the camera that someone took of me when I wasn't looking and I look hideous! Double chin galore. Gah. Was feeling quite good after losing this 12.5 pounds. Am going to be extra good this week and hope for another 3 pounds next week. Hating seeing myself!
On a side note, does anyone else find they lose more when they use their syns? The weeks I don't use them much I don't seem to lose much. Maybe it's a metabolism thing?
On that note, had this for lunch ('scuse the rubbish photo) - a massive plate of salad and spinach with chickpeas tossed in lime juice and balsamic vinegar and topped with 42g feta, 8 pitted kalamata olives (1 syn), some tomatoes and pomegranate seeds. Wholeheardedly recommended, it was delicious.
I love Saturdays. Nothing better than a Friday night in and a hangover free Saturday. I try and make sure I have some salmon at least once a week as intake of essential fats is crucial to weight loss and there's nothing more indulgent than smoked salmon folded into eggs for breakfast. It actually makes for a perfect hangover buster too, protein and good fats with the carbs of the toast - perfect.
I simply heated up beaten eggs until they started to scramble and then folded in strips of smoked salmon, piled on top of toast (I spread the toast with a little sweet chilli sauce - 1.5 syns for a level tbsp) and then topped with pan friend mushrooms (using Fry Light). NOM. You can always add some parma ham on top (just stick in the pan with the mushrooms) but I opted out because I am skint!
I accompanied with my favourite tea too - Liquorice and Peppermint from Teapigs. So good and a perfect sweet morning brew.
Happy weekend everyone!
