Fit at Forty 1

[Fitatforty1]

Busy day sorting out the bedroom for painting so not many steps, went for a walk to local country park (10 min drive away) which was not as long as I’d liked but hoping to still make 10k steps by the end of the day.

b - raspberries and 0% yoghurt
l - leedemeer light cheese, salad and relish w/meal roll + mullerlight (HEA, HEB, 1 syn)
d - lentil spag Bol
snacks - freddo (5 syns) 2 plums

late snack of some quavers - 4.5 syns

Another busy day, this time actually painting. Did all the woodwork and the ceiling, will do the walls next week. Started this morning with clubbercise and I'm going for a walk in a wee while to clear my head of paint fumes!

B - berries and yoghurt (local berries starting to appear in the shops)
L - cheese salad & relish salad w/meal roll and 1/12th choc cake
D - lentil spag bol again as the rest were having pastries and I just didn't think they would be worth the syns (I will have them at some point but probably further into my journey)

How did you find the raspberries
They look really good

I like local fruits. They taste so much nicer and cheaper than the imports. Last week, I bought british strawberries - a big punet for £1 they were so sweet and smelt sooo good. went back and bought more and froze them.

Like your lunch
Hope you had a good walk.

Gahhh!
Another day and another dinner that's not sw friendly only this time I didn't have a back-up so reduced what I had, I'm going to be starving later! And I wanted to be relatively low on syns this week as local cafe has just opened up again for takeaway and I want to support them (limited menu not massively sw friendly but with Syns I can make it work!) I hate it when syns get used for stuff that doesn't fill you up!

B - berries & yoghurt
L - w/meal roll with salad and homemade mushroom pate (HEB and 0.5 HEA for boursin cheese in the pate) 0.5 syns mullerlight.
D - pitta with halloumi and chorizo (only had 2 slices of chorizo and will count 1.5 HEA for halloumi, with 7 syns for pitta and 7.5 syns for chorizo) also had salad and mushrooms View attachment 196609

So the week didn't get much better in terms of food choice!
My husband is doing all the cooking at the moment as I'm working f/t and he's not at all! Up until the last couple of weeks, I've been doing all the menu planning too. Honestly, I've been starving all week. Every meal has been packed with syns so I've either had to count them or live off pasta. I managed out to the shops before work this morning so managed to get a few essentials and low syn snacks etc.
Still managed 0.5kg loss taking me into another BMI bracket and 1st loss and I'm on my period so happy days! I don't mind using syns, just hate it when you're still hungry after using them, there has also been a distinct lack of speed!

I've still pretty much managed to stay on plan so really pleased with myself. Looking to have a good week of SW friendly meals as I'm meeting a friend for food and drink next week and the alcohol makes the weight stick!

Breakfast and lunches have been pretty much the same this week but I did have a mozzarella, sundried tomato and rocket bagel with a handful of crisps for lunch on Wednesday out the local cafe which has re-opened, worth everyone of the 15+ syns!

Dinners have been mainly pasta (at least I had leftover lentil bolognaise which has some speed) although last night my daughter made curry which was delicious.

Well done on the loss despite lack of nutritious meals. Why don't do a batch over the weekend if you can and put them in the freezer so you have low syn dinners when you get home from work.

Love the food.
what is Cranachan please.

It's a traditional Scottish dessert - a mix of oats, cream, raspberries, honey and whisky. Bit like a pimped up version of my breakfast
