Snozzberry's Fab4Forty SW Diary

Weeeell long time no see Minimins! I've spent the past year or so piddling about thinking I can go it alone, it's all common sense after all, but have now conceded that I can't. So here I am, having rejoined SW yesterday, 12lb heavier than the last time I posted

I will be turning 40 in November and want to be fab and fit, not fat and frumpy.

I'll kick off with yesterday's diary - for once I didn't have the munchies and I'll credit this to the fact that I was busy running around with the family all day. I am totally a boredom eater. I'm going to include all drinks, as I'm aware that I often don't drink enough fluids.

35g porridge - HexB
250ml semi skimmed milk - HexA
Sliced banana
Spoonful of fat free natural yogurt

Food sounds good

Well I've either not had time to come and update my food diary, or been too knackered, this week thanks to various curve balls but I've stayed on plan and lost 3.5lb at my first weigh in today

I also bought the new recipe book at my meeting today so will be seeking some inspiration later.

While I'm here I'll post today's food plan, although a few more syns will probably feature at some point.

Breakfast:
Banana
Muller light

Lunch:
Bacon
Scrambled eggs with spring onion
Creamed mushrooms using 60g Kerry Low Low - HexA
Clementine

Dinner:
SW bbq pulled pork
60g wholemeal roll - HexB
Sweet potato chips
Side salad
Pear

Syns:
Coleslaw with dinner - 1
Dashes of milk in tea/scrambled eggs - 1
Options indulgence belgian chocolate fudge (mmm) - 3

Clearly I am supremely crap at updating my own diary but for once it's not because I've given up, just a combination of busy and knackered. I've stuck to it 100% for the past two weeks and lost another 2.5lb this week despite being poorly with man flu (which usually means comfort eating).

I'm still feeling really motivated and have just celebrated with a very late (due to sleeping in and having to leap from bed to WI) breakfast of fruit salad and ff Greek style yogurt. It was bloody lush!

I maintained this week. I'm actually quite disappointed as I've followed the plan 100% and was hoping to get my half stone this week.

I'm going to make more of an effort to put my food on here this week to see if anyone can see if I'm doing anything wrong.
