Day one on my SW Journey...

[Donte]

Hope you're both feeling better today! x

Hi Joanne
I am feeling much better thank you... Still woke with a pounding headache but I am not sure if its due to my change in diet or this bug?? Could be a bit of both I suppose!

I am still not feeling motivated though which isnt good! Any ideas what I can do to remain focussed!

Hi Donte - sorry to hear your still not 100% - make sure you drink plenty fluids, if your not up to eating much try scrambled eggs, soups, etc at least your eating and not being silly. Maybe fruit if you fancy it. Nothing worse than being ill :cry:

 

[Donte]

Thanks Texty.... Just feeling sorry for myself :cry:

I'll be ok once I can get my food plan together and I know what I am doing again... :/

Right off to search the many recipes to get my self in order! Thanks for the ideas... scrambled eggs seems like a good start!

The syns are there to be used, you're still under 15 for the day! Hope you find your mojo back soon, scour the forum and write yourself a meal plan for the week- you'll sharp get back in the swing of things xx

 

[Donte]

You are right Joanne at least I am staying within my Syns... Today I am feeling pretty much the same. I cant seem to shift this banging headache :sigh2:

ANyhow diary for today....

Breakfast:
The beautiful magic porridge (HEb) made with Muller Light

Snack:
Apple

Lunch:
Mushroom and Onion fried in Frylight added 2 x ww Sausgae (1 Syn) then mixed in an egg so it was kind of a scrambled egg then served with tinned toms

Dinner:
Gammon Roast served with Swede, Carrots, potatoes (mashed with 1 tsp Flora 2.5 Syns) and brussels.
1 x small Yorkshire Pud (2.5 Syns) and Stuffing (2 Syns) with gravy (3 Syns)

I have counted 3 Syns for the gravy as I always do although I am sure I do not use all of it... I would prefer to be over cautious than eat too many Syns...

Again today I really did not have the energy to cook anything wild and exciting, having said that the Gammon I cooked in the slow cooker and it was fabulous... My main aim today was to stay on plan and I have succeeded

Thats it for today I will have another apple of maybe half of a Grapefruit whilst watching Xfactor the results!!

Thanks again for reading guys and do feel free to put me right on anything as I am still not completely confident I am doing it right!
