HELLO! I'm Sophie, and this is Slimming World attempt number 3 :) I've successfully lost each time, but then life and choices got the better of me again - I am starting at 10st 6lbs, which is a few pounds before my max weight on my previous start weight on my last journey - everything is still here so have a read and ponder through my old food diaries - I'm big on posting pictures!

2015 attempt starts on
page 7 :)
2017 starts on page 10

FRIDAY 18th MARCH - GREEN

Breakfast
2 x WW wholemeal toast (HEB1)

Lunch
Jacket potato with cheese (HEA1&2)

Snack
Alpen Light Fudge (1/2 HEB2)

Tea
Quorn Spaghetti Bolognaise;
1/2 a courgette
mixed peppers
onions
3/4 tin of toms
1/4 jar of Sainsburys Light Herb Sauce (2)
and spaghetti :D

Snack
Alpen Light (HEB2)

Well, I went to Meadowhall today to go shopping (bought a headband :rolleyes:) so had lunch out for the first time in ages!

Went to Nosh, and I had a jacket potato with cheese. I did leave a bit of cheese on the side as I really don't like chedder cheese, i'm a red lecister or nothing kinda gal. But i'm going to count it as 2xHEA just to make sure.

I'm going out tonight so saving all my syns for vodka and diet coke, and i've tried to cut back slightly during the week to compensate also.

OK, so the damage score!

1 x Rum & d. coke (2.5)
1 x vodka d. coke (2.5)
Small & Meduim Rose (10.5)
Double Vodka & tonic (5 + 2.5)
3 x double vodka lemonades (15 + 4.5)
Apple Sourz shot (5?)

TOTAL DRINK SYNS = 47.5 :eek:


The bar I went to ran out of diet coke! So I settled on lemonade which I looked up as 284ml as 3 syns. I have these little cans of coke that are 150ml, which fill up a tall tumbler glass, so took that as the amount put in as mixer, so around two drinks had 3 syns. I think this works out right, as I thought all non diet drinks had a ridiculously high syn count, and assumed lemonade would too? but hey ho!

After the night I shared a chicken kebab, with a friend. Had salad on it, and left my friend the pitta so not too bad. Worked this as; Large chicken kebab (meat only) on Green = (15.5) had half = Roughly 8 syns.

Then I went home and had.... a fruit salad!
*pat on back* nearly ate my b.f's chocolate buttons but resisted :D

TOTAL SYNS FOR THE DAY= 57.5

SATURDAY 19th March - EE

Breakfast
Alpen Light Choc & Fudge (1/2 HEB)

Lunch
2 x bacon medallions
fried egg
1 slice of WW wholemeal toast (1/2 HEB)
beans & tinned toms

Evening

strawberries with tsp sugar (1)

I always struggle to get 1/3 superfree in sometimes. My cooked breakkie had about 1/4 superfree, and I was going to have an apple straight after nando's, but I was so stuffed I couldn't fit it in, so just waited and had strawberries later on to sort of 'make up' not having it in the meal. Not really how EE works, but oh well! tomorrow is another day!
 
BIT OF SHOPPING, AIMS FOR THE WEEK, ect!

bought a pack of sweet potato and butternut squash chunks :D will have to think of what to have with this! might make a soup, or try and separate them and have the squash as roasted as a side on a RED day. They look really similar in colour though, so might have some trouble with that!

I also bought.... DUM DAHH DUMM...... Some skinless and boneless Basa fillets! I'm trying to incorporate more fish into my diet, as it's good for losses, and a speed/ss food, and adds abit of variety so I don't get bored. I got it for £2 for 4 fillets frozen at Aldi! Bargain! Got a pack of green beans to go with these.

This week I am aiming for:
at least 5 portions of fruit and veg
3 of which are SuperSpeed
Keep up the 'Moderate' work out of 3 songs per day on Just Dance 2.

I then made some spicy sweet potato wedges, but as soon as I put them on my plate, I just didn't want them at all! I think this is a big milestone for me.
