Extra Easy Food Diary

OK so haven't been on in a few days, been really busy and just didn't get time to get on the computer! Have had a pretty good few days apart from last night, was out for a meal and had starter, main and dessert - starter was melon wrapped in parma ham with salad and lovely sauce, main was steak with pepper sauce, veg and baby boiled potatoes (and onion rings :s ) and dessert was a chocolate brownie with chocolate sauce, cream and ice cream. Oh I am actually drooling thinking about it!!! So nice! Back on plan today and hoping that I've been following plan well enough this week to have a loss on Monday.

Breakfast: 2 slices Boxty (syn free potato bread that you can fry in frylight, delicious), fried mushrooms and an egg. Also had a pear.

Lunch: Had some melon and strawberries first, then had 4 pieces lean bacon, beans and 2 slices wholemeal toast (heb).

Dinner: Had a nectarine and an apple, and then had sw chicken curry (with extra chilli) it was delicious and really spicy! Had some sw wedges as well. Yum yum.

Snack: Curly Wurly and tea (6 syns)

Just realised that I didn't have a healthy extra 'a' today, but have had a few cups of tea with milk so had a little bit!

Also I've been trying to get enough superfree with my meals this week, just been doing a bit of research and apparently if you don't get the superfree within the meal, you can still get it from fruit but it's best to eat your fruit BEFORE your meal. So will be doing this in future, starting from today!!

Total syns today: 6
 
Wasn't online yesterday, here's what I had!

Sunday 2nd October:

Breakfast: 2 Weetabix (heb) with milk from allowance, and a banana.

Dinner: Uncle Ben's Rice Time sweet and sour (syn free) with SW wedges, and a nectarine. ~ not enough superfree here but I just wasn't hungry and couldn't eat any more fruit! Oops!

Total syns: 9

Yeah I know, the strawberries aren't the best these days, will have to get my book out and have a look at some alternative superfree superspeeds !!! And galaxy bubbles are the BEST ! :eek:

@ Kirsty, the syn free potato bread is called Boxty, my local butchers has started to stock it, it's nice but quite bland, needs plenty of seasoning! You just slice it and fry it in frylight. How are you getting on? Hope you had a nice holiday :)

Sooo haven't been on all weekend, it was a busy one and I've been VERY bad .. :nono: it all started on Saturday evening, had quite a few beers and chips and ONION RINGS from the chippy :eek: then on Sunday I had a big salad with coleslaw, potato salad, pasta salad (all full fat dressings), so not the best weekend but I'm back on track today! WI tonight and I am not looking forward to it one bit :cry:

will update later :break_diet:

Lunch: Melon, strawberries, Mullerlight, banana and a cup of tea (was surprisingly full after this)

I'd say this is at LEAST 12 syns, also having a glass of wine for 6, and will be having my curly wurly later 6 syns too :) I don't mind going over my syns on Monday after wi as I know i'll be on my best behaviour all week :)

Total syns: 24++ ??

Sooo today hasn't been good at all so far! Feeling so heavy and bloated, and sick! Here's what I've had :break_diet:

Having a bad week but I'll get back on track in a day or two! Just feeling yucky!
 
Baaaaaaaaaaad weekend !! I'd say I drank 40+ syns last night and I'm paying for it today. Hopped on the scales earlier to see if the damage is showing yet, and they're at 10.13, they show approx 1lb heavier than sw scales at group so here's hoping that I can somehow pull it together for wi tomorrow. Have been eating loads of fruit today and will be extra good tomorrow.

Lunch: sw wedges with beans, egg and lean bacon. Followed by an apple and a plum.

Snack: Alpen Light (1/2 heb)

Dinner: will be sirloin steak with plenty of veggies. No potatoes for me as I am feeling so full and craving steak so bad!! Random I know :) will have a fruit salad for dessert.

Syns: will be a purple snack later 5.5 syns
