Week 11- the late shift!

This week I couldn't make it to group as I was working later shifts at work, this meant I wouldn't make it back in time for group. But it was alright I just found a group on my way to work in Leeds that I could pop into to get weighed. I was so glad I did because I had a loss and got my 1/2 stone award, yay! 

This just spurs me on all the more because it means I am getting closer to my goal.

With me working lates I have had to think about what I'm having for dinner. I wasn't getting home until 9pm some nights so I just wanted something quick. 

I made BBQ pulled pork from the sw website, prepared in the morning and had it cooking all day until mark got home. When I got home I had it with jacket potato and salad, it was really nice and it was all syn free.

I also made corned beef stew in the slow cooker, I got the lower fat version and worked out at 8 syns for the whole thing, and there was around six servings.

Other times it was something drone the freezer that I had made in weeks gone by and froze a portion.

Also I have had portage every day nearly for breakfast, lots of fruit salads for snacks with a nice squeeze of lemon. As I work in Leeds City centre I have sometimes needed to go grab something quick, that something as been a Turkey and ham subway salad which is fee and then 1.5 syns for the sweet onion dressing. 

Ok so just in case any actual people read this I'm not going to tell you about absolutely everything I eat this week. I am going to tell you how to make syn free American style pancakes....

1. Separate 2 egg whites from the yolk, leaving the yolks to one side. Whisk the whites in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.

Then add 1 teaspoon of sweetener and vanilla flavouring to the yolks, fold into the egg whites.

2. Heat up a frying pan with fry light then place a big spoonful of the mixture in the pan and leave for a couple of minutes.

3. Then turn over and leave for another couple of minutes, they don't take long to cook it the whisking that takes a while.

4. When they were done I had a fruit salad and a tablespoons of honey. I've had with strawberry and yoghurt before or you could syn some Nutella or something. They are nice though, honestly.

Fingers crossed I have a loss next weigh in. But as I'm writing this I dunno I have had a fair few drinks this week but I have been good with food, apart from one exception when I have had a Burger King whopper burger band mozzerlla sticks errm ... well ... ok.

Until next time.
