Food Diary SW - post baby slim down

[cmj10]

Hi all,

I have recently had a baby and I ate a lot during pregnancy. This has left me with 2st to lose. I have had some success with SW before and will be starting my dairy tomorrow.

At the moment I'm going to try and do it without a group so advice from anyone would be great.

Feeling determined x

Ok so here goes......
I'm waiting for my books to arrive so I've done today with what I remembered from last time and info online!

Breakfast - banana and apple

Snack - pineapple

Dinner - left over spicy bacon (fat cut off) and tomato pasta. I added carrots, peas and sweetcorn too.

Snack - 2 multigrain ryvita (HEb) with light Philly (2 syns)

Tea - homemade butternut squash jalfrezi with rice. This is a great recipe adapted from the hairy bikers book! Didn't need to add anything to thicken the sauce so I saved on syns and used frylight instead of oil.

Drinks
Tea - used semi skimmed milk as HEa
Options mint got chocolate - 2 syns (a treat for my sweet tooth this evening)

Exercise
I went to the gym this morning which was tough as it has been a while - I burned 240 cals doing 30 minutes on the treadmill and then 40 sit-ups!
