Ciao dolls.
I’m getting weighed
again tonight. I’ve been so good this week, I managed to keep my food diary and
it really has shamed me into being good! If I don’t want to write it down why
should I eat it? I’ve had some gorgeous food though it doesn’t seem like a diet.
We had Spaghetti
Carbonara again (twice), it honestly tastes just like the real thing and is
only one syn. To make the Carbonara sauce use one egg, 4 tbsp. of quark, a
little milk and some chives, mix these all together. Then of course cook the spaghetti,
bacon and whatever veg you want. I usually have mushroom and onion which I
(well mum) fry off with fry light. Once the spaghetti and bacon are cooked
combine them together with the sauce. Leave for literally a few minutes for the
egg to cook and it’s ready to go! I decided to pretend I'm po sh and serve mine
with a bit of parsley on top.
We also had KFC style
Chicken, now this wasn’t quite the same as the real deal but was top notch
anyway. For the outside of the chicken you use smash which I mixed with a Jamaican
chicken seasoning along with some salt and pepper. I dipped the chicken into an
egg mixed with some stock and then covered with the smash. I did it twice on
each piece and then cooked in the oven until golden. The only problem was that
it made me super thirsty! WE had the ‘KFC’ with chips, green beans and mange
tout. A syn free version of a very very synful alternative.
I also found that a
mini meringue is only 2.5 syns so I have been having one each night after my
dinner with fruit and yoghurt. It just hits the spot and finished off my dinner
nicely! I have such a sweet tooth so it’s a dessert just sweet enough but not
too unhealthy.
Unfortunately I haven’t
had the best week thoughL.
The doctors are in the process of changing all my treatment so I’m just in that
rough period in between things! It’s so difficult to keep going but I have so
many amazing people in my life I kinda need to keep going for them. I’m fed up
of people telling me that things will get better, it’s been going on so long
that is doesn’t feel like it is. But I’m a fighter and I’m trying not to let it
all get too much for me. On Monday I have another doctor’s appointment so
hopefully we will move a bit further forward in the next month or so. I also
have a counselling session on Monday, I’ve had three different counselling
sessions so far and I’m struggling to see the point in just trying a fourth
time. There’s no harm in giving it a go though is there?
Sam and I didn’t manage
to get to Blackpool because she had awful migraines but luckily for us our
tickets are valid for 90 days so it’s still on the cards sometime soon!
Can’t end in a
negative so I thought I would share with you that I am getting a new car
tomorrow. My friends will all know that I wrote my old car off in June last
year thanks to a bust up with a hedge. I’m finally at a point where I can afford
to get myself another so tomorrow evening I’m hopefully going to collect my new
little Micra.
Love, hugs and kisses,
