Naughty naughty

Sorry I'm posting late, busy evening for me last night!

Breakfast yesterday was two hifi light bars (heb), an apple, plum and mullerlight yogurt.

Lunch was a boots sushi salad (1.5 syns) with a bottle of water and apple slices.

The afternoon didn't do well... Someone in the office brought birthday cake from Dobbies. Dobbies have the best cake... I couldn't resist. I had a big slice of coffee and walnut. Oops.

Dinner was a salmon and feta salad (HEA) followed by 7 syns of ice cream.

The day could have been so much better, but it's done and I can't change it. Hopefully I had enough syns floating for the week that I won't gain. Syn free day today for me!

The start of a new week

So week two begins!

Breakfast was 35g fruit and fibre topped with a cherry mullerlight and lots of grapes.

Lunch was a family trip to the carvery before doing our food shopping. Lots of speedy veggies, turkey and beef plus 2 stuffing balls and a yorkshire pudding (7.5 syns) - no roasties or gravy.

Snacked on my HEA of mozzarella whilst making A's dinner.

Due to my big lunch I didn't fancy anything big or cooked for dinner so I opted for seafood sticks, a pink lady apple and a mullerlight.

Good day all round I'd say. Lots of sw friendly food in for the week. Looking forward to working my way to another loss.

Weigh day posting

So this morning was weigh in...

I am very pleased to say that I lost 6lbs!! I'm definitely back in the swing if things.

Breakfast was a banana and a hifi bar.

Anyone who read my blog before will know that weigh day is treat day in my house. So yesterday lunchtime I spend some much needed time with hubby and we went to a Chinese buffet. I'm unsure of syns but I made sure I had plenty if fruit and vegetables.

Dinner was back to business. 2 wholemeal rolls filled with lean steak, mushrooms and cheese.

Looking forward to another good week!

Tardy posting...

Good morning peeps.

Sorry for my lack of post last night. Hubby and I spent most of the evening cleaning the downstairs of the house from top to bottom, I was too tired to post by the time I got to bed.

Breakfast yesterday was 2 slices of wholemeal toast (small loaf so HEB) topped with 35g light philidalphia (half HEA) served with scrambled eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms.

Lunch was afternoon tea with a friend. No it wasnt on plan, but yes I enjoyed it! Mini sandwiches, cake and 2 scones with cream and jam were consumed. I have no idea of syns (but I'd have saved some because A stole loads of my food haha)

Dinner was speedy a Subway salad with turkey and ham. Then I ate some grapes early evening.

So no, not the best day plan wise but it was pre-arranged and I had low syn days to allow for it.

I'm facing the scales this morning. I'm excited but nervous. Wish me luck!

Cous cous overload!

So I started my day with breakfast couscous. Plain cous cous made with a little hot water and left to cool, then add a mullerlight. Mix and top with frozen fruit, leave overnight to defrost.

Snacked on an alpen light and some grapes mid morning (HEB)

Lunch was left over giant cous cous and quinoa with added veg (3 syns) - didn't realise I was overloading on couscous today haha!

A satsuma and a skinny latte (HEA) as an afternoon snack.

Came home from work and made A dinner, I cheekily had half a hot dog (1 syn) once he was in bed I made a sw cottage pie ready meal with some steamed butternut squash and broccoli. 

Another good day, and I'm already feeling the benefits of healthy eating. I have a pre-arranged trip for afternoon tea tomorrow. It won't be on plan but all other meals this week have been and I've been keeping my syns low so hopefully it won't affect my loss too much.

Still looking forward to those scales!
