Food Diary

[Kim26]

Hello,
Thanks for stopping by my food diary.

I am going to be a bridemaid for my best friend on 27th July 2012 and i am determined to not be the 'fat friend', next to her tiny size 10 figure! So thats my motivation.

I have been struggling with Extra Easy, so will probably try greens and throw in a few EE days here and there. Please feel free to comment good or bad as my losses are REALLY low at the moment!

So starting today:

Wed 25 Jan - Green Day

B - Oats so simple made with ss milk (HeA and HeB), sweetener and a banana

Mid morning Snack: Mullerlight strawberry

Lunch - i forgot my lunch! luckily i had a tin of heinz spaghetti bolognese (2.5 syns) in my desk drawer. With a pear, apple and mullerlight banana and custard.

Dinner - Beef Casserole - stewing steak (HeB), lots of casserole veg, tinned tomatoes, 2 oxo cubes, gravy granuals to thicken (3 syns). Served with boiled potatoes and brocolli.

Drinks: Water and Diet Coke.

Post gym snack - Mixed berries with a raspberry and cranberry mullerlight yogurt.

Syns total: 5.5 syns

Exercise: I have my gym induction tonight so will have that and then a work out at the gym. Wish me luck i haven't been to the gym in about 5 years!

 

[Kim26]

Well done on the weight loss chick. Ive not been doing it long, too. Your diary seems really good. Im sure you'll look great on your friends wedding day.

Hi Tinks
Thanks for stopping by
It's amazing how much motivation comes when a wedding is going on...i'm pleased i have the motivation as it is keeping me on-track.
I am sure you will look fab for your friends wedding too

I was really nervous about the gym too - but once i went and have attended a few classes i have realised that no-one really cares what you are doing, and the classes have such mixed ability i never feel like the only one who hasn't got a clue what is going on! haha. The first gym session i thought i wouldn't be able to last on machines - particularly the cross trainer, but i managed 20mins!

Hope you've had a fab weekend and well done with your losses so far
