Hello, one night down, one to go then two horrid late shifts to follow. Working Eid was unpleasant, and apparently there are two hence another night shift tonight. For one set of Muslims Eid was yesterday. For the remaining set Eid is today. Why? Who knows but its going to be another long, possibly longer night than last night.
Anyway additions to food eaten yesterday, I ate some Haribo sweets and 9 tortilla chips which together I counted as 10 syns, I didn't eat my SW bar or my flake. I also drank very little as I was so far away from a toilet so in the 10 hours only had 500ml water which isn't very good so to make up for it I'm drinking loads before I start work and think ill bring a flask in of tea as I was desperate for a brew and couldn't get one.

Moan over food for today. I've flicked my meals around as I'll be eating in the van in a church car park again tonight.
Breakfast = 1/2 gala melon.
Lunch = chicken bean New Yorker (chicken, bacon, 40g leerdamer light cheese (hex a), baked beans & 2 tbsp jerk/BBQ sauce) with broccoli, cauliflower, butternut squash, mushrooms. Fruit salad & yogurt.
Dinner = ham & egg salad with 2tbsp couscous, (mixed lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, radish, peppers, carrot, beetroot, vinegar), fruit, yogurt & 2x SW hi fi light bars (hex b)
Also I've just read on the SW website that if doing SE you can have double hex a & b which is good to know i can have a bit more if I need it. Fingers crossed I don't have any sweeties tonight.
Total syns planned for 2,

Hi Cookie - good luck with the SE chica. Im here to check your food as requested lol
Just make sure you have 3 meals a day and include 2/3 Superfree with each and a 1/3 Free food. I looked at your food for yesterday and you didnt have your full allowance of B choice hun. You only had a 1/3 of a scan bran cake, you could have had the whole cake if you made it with 5 scanbran? and then you could have had another B choice on top. You didnt have your sw hi fi bars or any toast - you could have synned the cake and that would still have left you 2 B choices. Make sure you have them hun, the purpose of SE is to make you feel fuller longer so you eat less of the "bad" stuff.
Some days I was only having 1 A choice which is fine as the plan says you can have 1 or 2, BUT make sure you have 2 B choices. In between snack on superfree fruit etc, you can also have eggs or fat free yogurts.
Also remember if your having stuff which is syns - use the highest syn allowance( i.e if something is 3 on red or green and 6 on EE you would have to syn as 6)
I hope this helps you hun - good luck xx

Hi Texty, thanks so much for having a good look for me, I have to say it is complicated so I really appreciate your help. I will make sure I have my b choices and re check my syns to ensure all counted. The 2/3 super free is a task and a half sometimes but only two more days to go so I'll try to get it right.
Thanks again Texty and enjoy yourself tonight. Xx
