Extra Easy: Fresh Start!

[big_mamma]

Went for my physio last night and my arm is improving so that was great. He said i need to work on my posture as this isn't helping the nerve in my neck so now i have to roll up a yoga mat and sit with it behind me.

When I got up this morning I thot i'd check the fitness channel on sky to see if there was any yoga on and there was so i gave it a go. It was brilliant and it really made me feel lighter and not as stiff. I seem to hold alot of tension in my hips for some reason and it helped to release this.

Anyway I was working on the laptop this morning and kept taking a 5 min break every hour to help me posture. I also managed to make a pan of home made tomato soup and a pasta bolognaise bake - yum yum.

Today's food has been good and it's weigh day tomorrow so i'm hoping for a good loss...maybe 2lb!

Breakfast:
coffee
2 x nimble malted wholegrain
bacon
tsp of red sauce (1syn)
3 pieces of melon

Lunch:
salad of ham, lettuce, tomato, HEB cheese, jalepenos, pineapple and savoury rice (free) with a drizzle of thousand island dressing (1syn)

Im undecided about dinner tonight. I'm making the other half chicken and cheese wrapped in bacon but i havent enough chicken for myself. I think i'll have 2 x quorn sausages, chips, mushrooms, onions and mushy peas. Im really craving pizza but i only have white pitta breads and i dont want to waste my syns on them.

I'll update later with what I had

 

[big_mamma]

Before dinner I ate the rest of my veggie quiche with a dollop of brown sauce (1syn). I decided that I wanted the maggi sweet and sour chicken (4.5syns for the whole packet) so I cooked 4 chicken breasts (defrosted another 2 as there small) and added fried mushrooms and peppers and sw chips....yum yum yum! Worked out at just under 3 syns for the whole dinner.

Just having a cup of tea and a smart price cereal bar now (3 syns)

Total syns today = 9 syns

Total syns today: 3 syns

Ok today I wasnt really hungry when i got up and I was heading shopping so I knew id probably pop into a coffee shop with my mum and sister so I just planned to enjoy a scone with a cup of tea.

My OH also rang to say his son is playing football tomorrow night at 5pm and we have an hours drive to watch it so I'm gonna have to take a picnic for we will be starving by the time we get home. I was thinking asda chicken tikka skewers (free), boiled eggs, pizza pittas (7.5 syns with HEB) and pasta quiche (free).

Anyway today has been weird because I used my syns on one scone and it really wasnt worth it!!

Breakfast:
Weetabix cake (1/2 syn)

Snack:
Tea and raspberry and white chocolate scone (20syns)

Lunch:
Small bowl of homemade tomato soup

For dinner I am thinking of having an omelette with ham, cheese (HEB), tomato, mushroom and jalepenos. I'm unsure yet it will be low syn and handy

 

[big_mamma]

I am struggling at the minute. I have ate low fat supernoodles with ham and tomato and an apple and now im hungry again!!!!!! How can i be hungry?!?!?!

I think im gonna eat 2 x nimble malted wholegrain (HEB) and some cheese (HEA)

Hi, just been reading your blog, do you know any syn free soup,s ie veg, I ake the tom soup but getting a bit sick of it now thank you

 

[big_mamma]

Hi Tom. Soups arent my strong point lol. I used to make a lovely carrot and potato soup.

Simply fry onion, potato, carrot with frylight and some herbs. Add your stock and simmer then blend. I just google anything I think about making

I need to rearrange my syns as I am going to have to flexi syn today a bit. I just cant stop thinking about eating junk and im gonna give in and start again tomorrow with low syns.

I ate the cheese on toast so HEA and B now gone + a small kinder bar (3.5syns) + milkybar yogurt (8.5syns). Making bacon, Linda McCartney sausages, beans and eggs for dinner and then im gonna allow myself to have a curly wurly (6syns) and a bag of hoops and crosses (4syns).

So syns today = 42syns!!!!!

105-42=63 = 12 syns per day left

Nectarine

Snack:
Cup of tea and alpen light bar (3syns)

Today is a really nice autumn day here but it is getting very cold. I was working away this morning so I was up and out early and home about lunchtime. My neck and shoulders are still getting very sore from driving so I'm gonna go for a bath soon and read my book as I' working again tonight for a few hours. It's weigh day tomorrow (AGAIN) and I'm not feeling very confident this week. I think I had such a good week last week that I just lost all control at some point this week and didnt care. However I am back in the zone and I hope that I will have a good loss next week if there is nothing this week.

Today is a green day so 2 x HEA and HEB

Breakfast:
Magic pancakes (1xHEB), chopped banana and honey (3syns)

Snack:
Pineapple and melon
water

Lunch:
Roast onion smash (asda, free) with asda smart price spaghetti (free)
Small ladle of homemade tomato soup
coffee

Dinner: (THE PLAN as I'm always changing my mind recently)
Chips, pasta, mushrooms, peppers, quark, veggie sausages, peas.

I have 1 x HEB leftover:
2 x alpen bars
2 x nimble

Hopefully I will have weight off tomorrow...if I dont I will cry
