Yesterday's food was a bit of a disaster- son's birthday party so just too much in way of temptation for a weakling like me!

Breakfast: bacon butty (HEB)

Lunch: hot dog in white roll with tomato ketchup, then another one!!! Need to check syn value- eek can only assume lots!!

Dinner: chicken and vegetable rice, Cadbury flake and wine x3 glasses

So over syns for the day- I will work out just how many later but today I am just picking up the pieces and onwards I go

Breakfast this morning was bread roll (HEB) with ham and cold boiled egg. Nectarine

Lunch will be vegetable rice and veg curry (left overs)

Dinner: out with sons so not sure will update later

 

[Claire L]

Indian meal last night- delicious but once again way off plan and far too synful!!

On more positive note - no more celebrations are in the offing plus hubby away on business travel for 2 weeks so I can completely control menu to my wishes. I plan to use the 2 weeks to get a good routine back re diet and running!

So today is day 1 of my 2 week personal challenge.

Breakfast: weetabix x1 (HEB) plus banana and milk from HEA

 

[Claire L]

Much better today

Lunch was chicken ham and tomato with 1 slice of bread and Lurpak lighter 1.5 syns
(other half of HEB)

Dinner: Cajun chicken pasta 5.5 syns for entire recipe and it was between 3 of us so say 2syns each, followed by Greek yogurt and raspberries

Total syns for today is 3.5/15

 

[Claire L]

Today will be extra easy

Breakfast: boiled egg x2 with 1 slice bread (half HEB) Lurpak lighter spreadable 1 syn

Lunch: planning carrot and coriander soup

Dinner: not sure yet- need to consult with boys to ensure minimal wastage!!

 

[Claire L]

Soup was great and enough left over for tomorrow. Also had 2 ryvita with mashed egg and tomato 0.5 syn for ELF mayo

Tried to make chocolate rice pudding using the soya chocolate drink but wandered off and it all got stuck to bottom of the pan!! Might try again but with more care and attention!!

Ended up with raspberries and vanilla yogurt to hit the need for something sweet on the head

 

[Claire L]

Ok so last night we had pasta and spicy sausage for dinner - 4 syns, plus garlic bread 6 syns and parmesan 3 syns so a total of 14.5 syns for the day

Today is extra easy again

Breakfast: fried potato (in fry light of course), courgette and mushrooms with an egg (summer breakfast scramble - on of the good food recipes - thought it was odd having courgette for breakfast but in actual fact it tasted OK)

Lunch: left over carrot and coriander soup, ham salad roll (HEB for bread)

Dinner: Planned - Chili and rice with lettuce, pickled jalapenos, thinly sliced spring onion, cheese (HEA) and sour cream 2syns
Chili is bubbling away as I type - looking very yum - am sooo looking forward to it!!
