Well i bit the bullet last night and joined a class! I have been losing and gaining the same 5lbs on and i hope this will give the booat i need to really commit. The class is lovely friendly and the consultant seems very nice. She is heavily pregnant and has one of thoae perfect basketball bumps, wish i had looked like that when i was pregnant!

First official weigh in was 9st 6lb so i will update my stats later. Aiming on losing half a stone which will get me into the 8s just about. A lot of talk about having that great first week no matter how long you have been doing it and i can already see alot of ways i have been cheating so i will be going back to basics i think. I also have a night away this weekend for dh birthday so i will flexi syn for it. The way she explained flexi syns was not like i had ever imagined it bit seems a much more practical and manageable approach so i will give it a go. Not ideal for the firast week but better than last week!

Wednesday

Breakfast 3 x scan bran plus dairylea marmite and tomato.

Fruit and yogurt mid morning.

Lunch baked beans on toast and fruit.

Dinner at my mums.... i will have to see how this goes and try to be a bit more assertive and a bit less of eating everything and anything!

 

[riahummingbird]

I haven't been too bad today.
Breakfast was scan bran x3, 2x dairylea, tomato.
Lunch was baked beans, quark and heb of wm bread with some grapes. Snacked on banana, apple and ww yogurt 0.5 syns. Coffee with milk and green tea.
Dinner at mums was quorn sausages, peas, onions, carrots, mash. Guessing about 7 syns.
Apple sponge and ice cream- I gave half to my dh so maybe 15 for that.
22 for today but been good the past couple of days so it will hopefully balance out.
Just had the rest of my hea/b (scan bran and cheese) with a cuppa.

Got a nice text from my new consultant tonight as well which was lovely. Just a bit of bad timing that I have joined when I have a lot of things coming up for my birthday- away this weekend and next so it will be tricky. If I can get back on track after each trip though that will be a step in the right direction after the past few weeks.

I understand flexi synning a bit better as well so I will try that and see how I go.

Thursday- Plan

[riahummingbird]

Hi allimack, thanks for popping by- yes I'm veggie but I love green days to get the extra hex, couldn't do without my bread lol.

 

[riahummingbird]

ell I didn't stick to my plan at all yesterday, but I was still on plan.

[riahummingbird]

Yesterday was a hungry day but I still stuck to plan! Away for the night tonight as a treat for my dh birthday last week. Dinner included at the hotel- I will just have to try and make a good choice. I will flexi syn though to allow for a couple of drinks and dessert.

Breakfast- grapefruit, grilled cheese on toast (hea/b).

 

[riahummingbird]

So i am flexi-synning tonight. Aiming to use no more than 90 syns. I appreciate this sounds like an awful lot but if you are out for the night and have a bottle of wine that is 30 gone right away lol. i think if i am realistic i might be more likely to get back on track when it is all over and not say sod it and blow the same every day for a week!

We got complimentary cocktails when we got here so i would say 8 syns for that. I also had a baby sized ice cream, didnt eat the cone so 5 for that?

Aiming for a pasta based main and antipasti to start. Dessert will prob be big syns but will see if dh feels like sharing. I will also stick to the gin and slimline tonic. I have a packet of ryvitta minis to snack on later as well!

 

[riahummingbird]

Update on last nights naughtiness! I had set a limit of (eek!) 90 syns...

15 for cocktail and baby ice cream
8 for 2 gin and tonics
8 for antipasti starter- sun dried toms 1.5, grilled peppers 1.5, pickles free, olives 1/2 syn, 4.5 for tiny piece of focaccia, melon
15 for main - gnocci in sauce with veg-I didn't manage to eat all of it either so not too bad.
15 for dessert- gorgeous tiramisu with biscotti shared with my dh to half the syns! SW gives 30 as a guide for a restaurant portion.
61 in total. That's 4 days lol but I did feel in control so happy enough with that, could have been a lot worse. And the meal was delicious!

 

[riahummingbird]

Onto todays naughtiness...

Love getting breakfast in a hotel and usually eat everything in sight. Limited menu on offer today but chose as best I could, in hindsight could have done better but never mind.

Granola 10 syns, spelga lf yogurt 3.5 syns, berries.

1.5 slices white bread (ordered wm but none left) so 6 syns and baked beans.

alpen light bar (part heb), banana

Snack plate- rvitta minis, 30g cheddar, sliced apple, quorn ham, pickled peppers.

hea- 2, skim milk and 30g cheddar.
heb- 2, alpen light and ryvitta minis.
Syns- 19.5

 

[riahummingbird]

Plan for Sunday

Breakfast- 'bloody mary' baked beans 2 syns, lmc red onion sausages.
Greek style yogurt 1/2 syn and berries.

Lunch- homity pie from the magazine, maybe a bit of quorn with it (hea cheese).

Dinner- papparadelle puttanesca from mag-3 syns per serving but I won't be including the parmesan as it isn't veggie, so I think it would be 1/2 syn maybe for olives as well as the choc mousse 4.5 syns.

Hea- 2
Heb- none planned yet
Syns- 7.5 planned

 

[riahummingbird]

I have pretty much stuck to the plan above with the addition of some veg/fruit (spinach, spring greens, raspberries).

The homity pie was lovely and have some left for lunch tomorrow. The paparadelle was really good and went down well with all of us. The tofu choc mousse from the mag was surprisingly good,the texture was pretty nice; I have to say I was dubious!

Two heb left for snacking this evening- prob a special k chewy bar and maybe some toast.

Lovely to try some new recipes for a change!

Also hit the cross trainer today and am making a little headway on my 100k Sept challenge.

Morning all! Today is my first official weigh in at group and i have to say i am slightly nervous! I have not had the 'perfect first week' so i doubt i will have lost much, if anything at all!
