What I Ate Today: 01/12/12

EXTRA EASY DAY

I started my day off with a lovely cup of coffee (HEA)  (it seriously saves my life!) and a hifi bar (HEB) , yummy yummy. I was taking leftover bolognese to my sisters' house for lunch and popped to my mums' on the way to pick up my advent calendar :D Oh yes it's December! I just love Christmas :) I ate the 1st yummy chocolate :) (1 SYN)

So I had pasta bolognese (FF) for lunch at my sisters' house, but this time with a sprinkle of cheese (3 1/2 SYNS). Tasty :) (The picture is from last nights meal, I didn't get snap happy today, oops!)

I had dinner at about 7ish as I had gone to my mums for a little while after being at my sisters' house. (I had a hot chocolate (2 SYNS) there but like I said, didn't have my camera sorry!)  I made the diet coke chicken (FF) again with slimming world chips (FF), was even tastier than last time! I probably ate too much but it was sooooo good! (Again, photo is from last time, sorry!) I also had an apple (SFF) to get a little super free.

I am going to be having another coffee in a few minutes to warm me up using the rest of my (HEA). That's about it for today!

Apologies for the complete fail that is todays post, my phone is really annoying to use so I take photos on my camera!

Diet Coke Chicken Salad

Had leftover diet coke chicken on top of a salad for lunch, was tasty :)

Recipe: Diet Coke Chicken

I said that I'd put up the recipe, and since it was delicious I really want to recommend it to everyone! 

Recipe serves 4

Free on Extra Easy
Free on Red

Ingredients-

2 large chicken breasts
1 onion, diced (I didn't have any so left it out)
330ml can of diet coke (I used diet pepsi)
6 tablespoons of pasata
a dash of worcestershire sauce
fry light 
salt & pepper (optional)


Method-

1. Heat a large pan and spray with fry light
2. Add the onion and chicken and fry until chicken is white all the way through
3. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to boil
4.  Simmer until the sauce thickens and reduces to approximately half of it's original volume (sauce will become stickier)
5. Serve with your choice of side, I used home made syn free chips but it would be tasty with rice, jacket potato or over a salad if you fancy!
6. Enjoy the yummy flavours of your diet coke chicken!

So there we go guys, it is ridiculously tasty trust me! Please let me know if you make it and what you think!

Plan For The Week Ahead

I'm well aware that it's Friday, but because my weigh in is on a Thursday evening, my food week really starts on a Friday. So I am really pleased with how my first week went, and was ecstatic with my weight loss. Please see my weigh in post below if you haven't already. I do confess that I probably did try and eat less than I normally would, I worry sometimes that my appetite is too big and I really wanted that big first week weight loss. But I did stick to plan, however Slimming World really isn't about limiting your appetite, the ONLY limit IS you appetite. However big it may be. So I am going to try to eat a little more this week, and hope that my weight loss will still be good :) 

However, I still think that I need to be wary that I don't overeat on carbs as I am a huge pasta and potato lover! We shall see how we get on!

Right, moving on-
I do try and plan my meals for the week so let's see what is on the menu!

Friday- I've had jacket potato with cheese for lunch so for dinner I'm thinking of diet coke chicken (first time trying it, if it's yummy then I'll post a recipe) with vegetables.

Saturday- Not sure what will be cooking for lunch, but dinner will be steak with slimming world chips and peas.

Sunday- Pork with roast potatoes (cooked in fry light) and vegetables. Maybe a little gravy?

This is where I'm up to right now but will know more when I've got a bit more shopping :)

What's on your menu this week?
