The battle of the Bubble

Hi
I have decided to post my food diary, just to keep an eye on what I am eating. Also to make sure if I'm doing something wrong someone will correct me.
So far so good have lost 8lb in 3 weeks. Finding it a challenge in the evenings. Especially if I am on my own as hubby works shifts.

My story so far:
I have 3 kids 10,8 and 6. Since the birth of my youngest I have had mild depression and am taking 'happy pills' which i am sure I am immune to. My family all live in cyprus and I miss them terribly, we are a very close knit greek family and hubbys family are not at all so I find that very difficult sometimes.
My aim this year is to get myself on track to the young, happy me. I know I can't reverse my age but if I lose weight start feeling good about myself again, make time to be me and not just 'Mum' then hopefully I can break this mould and be off these pills and be happy again! I can then start to be a real wife again, as my poor hubby does get the miserable side of me too often. He is my rock and I love him and this year I want to give something back for a change.

Wish me luck on my journey, please feel free to comment or just follow my steps to the new 'old' me.

Hello - here to subscribe.

Just a note, Where you have put 1 slice of wholemeal bread as a healthy B, if there isn't enough fibre in an item, then it goes into syns. You need 60g of bread for a healthy B. There were some porridge sachets that used to be a healthy B, but slimming world removed them from the healthy B list - the only reason they aren't now is because they reduced the amount in there and there now isn't enough fibre in them to count as a healthy B. Go and weigh your slice of bread, then have more to make it up to 60g :)
 
Thanks for the advice i really didn't think - I just thought 1 slice of 800g and 2 slices from the 400g loaves.
Its Kingsmill wholemeal bread medium slice I've just took out a slice from the freezer but am assuming its heavier when frozen. Its bound to be more than 1/2 a hexb so i can't even count the alpen light as the other half. Might count my losses today and syn it. :sigh: Never mind haven't eaten my treats yet so can still save today.
 
Update:
No bournville tonight:( counting bread as 4 syns (78cal) and having 2 alpen lights as my hexb, having a hot choc options indulgence 3syns Making my total syns 14 today.

Hello Today has been busy I've not had chance to think "food"!

28g Branflakes (part HEXB)
300ml 1% milk (HEXA)
Blueberries, grapes, banana and raspberries

Ryvita (other part HEXB)
laughing cow extra light (1Syn)
0% Peach activia yoghurt

Left over arabiatta pasta and side of mixed salad

Fresh pineapple chunks

Chicken kebabs with schwarz chargrilled chicken and salad with actifry wedges using frylite and 0% total greek yoghurt
2 mini wholemeal m&s pittas (39cal each) 4Syns

So I have only had 5 syns so far - means I have enough for my chocolate fix tonight. I've still got quite a bit of milk left as I only had 2 teas today so it may be a milky hot choc too. :D
 
Thanx for that. Guess thats the problem with going it alone i don't get the updates!
I never actually cook the spinach its one of those ingredients that go in just after everything is cooked because it really wilts to nothing. Eg all my pasta is cooked tossed together and spinach folded in at the end, same with rice, just fold it in at the end. I make it with scrambled eggs same way.
Sitting outside netball craving my chocolate now...;)

Glad you liked the soup - it's one of my favourites. Took me ages to get the quantity of tomato right etc when I first had a go. Sat in work eating crab stick (that's never seen a crab) salad with seafood sauce. Can't remember what I'm having for tea tonight...

You won't believe how jealous i am that your at work. I hate doing nothing. So used to being on the run all day! Soup just been warmed up for my lunch, andrea is attempting to eat too, fingers crossed it lines her tummy. x Enjoy your day x
