Morning everyone,
Just a quick post to update my food diary. I'm feeling really positive that I'm going to have another good week, I do have a meal out with the girls from work on Friday but I know I'll make the right choices.
Back to work tomorrow, been off for over a week and I'm absolutely dreading it, I just hope people act normal, as normal is good and doesn't get me upset!
Going to the cemetery today as my Grandads ashes are getting buried, I know it's going to be sad but it'll be my real chance to say goodbye, and at least I'll be able to visit him when I want
Today's foods....
Breakfast:
Raspberries, WW vanilla yogurt, Rocky road hifi bar (Part HExB), 1x Dairylea light cheese triangle (Part HExA) & peppermint tea

Hey hun, hope all goes well today. Like you say it'll be a really sad day, but hopefully it'll give you chance to say goodbye. I'm sure peeps at your work will be lovely, but I know what you mean, sometimes when people are too nice it can make you feel even sadder! Just remember to take tissues and its perfectly okay to get upset, everyone has been through some kind of loss and will understand. *big hugs*

Really though, how nice is it?! If you find a SW friendly one please let me know
Plans changed tonight, my friend Naomi needed me as she's going through a tough time, so we went out for tea, but I stuck to plan and ordered jacket potato cheese beans & salad, nom nom! I really enjoyed it, even whilst Nomes tucked into a gorgeous smelling/looking steak pie *drooooooools*
Friday tomorrow, woohooo! Off out for a meal with the lasses from work but I'm fully prepared for it and know I will chose wisely

Good morning everyone - THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!!!
So pleased it's the weekend tomorrow, looking forward to spending some time with my family. Hope the weather it nice(ish)
I woke up feeling really bloated today, and I've realised it's because I've barely had any water intake, if any, at all! Shame on me, so from now I need to give myself a shake and drink up!
I've got another busy day at work, then tonight I'm off out to a Tex-Mex restaurant with the lasses from work, really looking forward to it as it's just opened up and I've heard great reviews about it.
I've looked at the menu and I've decided on either the griddled chicken breat with hint of lemon and garlic or the butterfly chicken breast served in a lime & chilli sauce. I'm really not sure of the syn value, can anyone help? The chicken will be free if I asked for it grilled with no added oil eh? It'll just the sauce that I'll have to syn eh? Say 5 syns? Oh god it's so hard to judge when going out for a meal. Arrgghhh!
I'm going to stay sober as well, as I don't really fancy a drink so I'll just stick to diet coke
Todays foods...
Breakfast:
Raspberries, WW vanilla yogurt, Alpen light bar (Part HExB), 2x tangerines & green tea
Dinner:
Tomato & herb mugshot, 2x tangerines & an apple
Afternoon snack:
Sliced banana, raspberries & Toffee Muller
Another snack: (Yes, I am a hungry hippo today)
Batchelors pilau rice, lots of spring onions & grated cheese (HExA)
Tea:
Butterfly chicken (3.5syns), Jacket potato, boiled rice & a bit of salsa (2syns)
Follwed by 2 fork fulls of very bland cheese cake (5syns)
Evening snacks:
Alpen light bar (Part HExB)
WW toffee yogurt
HExA - 30g Cheese
HExB - 2x Alpen light bars

Hello lovely! I am massively bloated at the minute too, my stomach is like a football! Think its with going from eating so much rubbish last week to being 100% back on it this week, my body doesn't know what's going on lol! I'm also a bit all over with my monthlies, they are pretty erratic at the moment and just seem to come and go as they please, so I'd guess they are playing some part in it too. I'm trying to drink plenty of water like you though - I use the "Waterlogged" app to try and keep a track of how much I'm drinking.
TexMex restaurant sounds yum! I don't know if this helps at all, but Nando's do a similar butterfly chicken, it comes with your choice of sauce, and as it comes it is 3.5 Syns. So maybe you could use that as a guide? As long as you enjoy yourself, that's always the main thing
Happy Friday Emma, have a great day xx

Happy Friday hun,
Tex-mex sounds lovely, well done for making healthy choices! I know what you mean about how hard it is to judge syns when you go out for a meal, I'm the same. Off our to an Amercian diner next week for Valentines Day and I dread to think! Think I'll have to use the flexible syns, thank God its only once a year.
Have fun tonight at the meal x

It really is hard to judge eh, I think flexible syns is the way to go. An American diner sounds amazing! Well jel of you for sho lol. X
Tonights meal didn't live up to expectations at all. Everything was bland, no spice or taste at all. Could've done a better job myself. Waste of money / syns if I'm perfectly honest but I've had a great night
Off to bed now, then off to the Aquarium with my sister & Sophia tomorrow. Can't wait

Tonight I'm off out with two of my old best mates from school. I haven't seen them properly in over 5years so it's like a mini reunion, really looking forward to it, and even though I'll be sober & sticking to diet cokes, I'm hoping to have some great laughs and a great night.
Have a lovely weekend everyone. X
