Well today considering it is a Monday has been v good (for me!)
Breakfast
4 strawberries
kiwi fruit
blueberries
activia yoghurt fat free
Lunch (have two long breaks during the day)
veg coucous (allow couple of syns only 1/2 pack) chicken slices, tomatoes and beetroot.
Portion of watermelon
small portion of grapes
washed down with Pepsi max (it's a serious addiction, no joke)
Dinner
Jacket potato
tin of tuna (in springwater)
plus 1/2 tin baked beans
Should have had more veg didn't plan it very well.
This evening have had 2 alpen light bars for my HE plus one babybel light cheese thing (only one left-sob!) plus one curly wurly.
Walked to and from work so that's 4 miles in total- keep looking at the wii fit and then just not using it at the mo (this will change)
Had 2 bits of Reeses pieces (or something which someone at work gave me to try (will allow 2 syns for them, they were tiny pieces and googled one bag is 9 1/2 syns)
Need to get the focus back off on holiday in 11 weeks and want to be much lighter!

Had a couple of really nice compliments at work as well today and instead of saying my usual (and thinking) I still have a lot to loose I just accepted it- which is easier said than done for me. The thing is I don't feel like i've lost anything else at the mo- because i had my week off it has made it trickier to judge how it had gone for me- if that makes sense to anyone.

Well yet again didn't get up in time so
breakfast
3 babybel lites and 1/2 banana before legging it out the door
lunch
Leftover couscous from yesterday, chicken, cucumber, tomatoes and grapes for my second break I had some more chicken and cherries.
I'd only packed the couscous so i nipped to sains and picked up the fruit and chicken because I know my food choices can sometimes go out the window if i don't have enough!
Dinner
Chicken (i'll start cluking soon) and mixed vegetable rice
I seriously need to go shopping might treat myself and make a roulade or something and purchase something other than chicken but pleased that I managed to make good choices (polishes halo!!)

Weigh in tonight and have lost 4lbs so I've lost 2 stone and I'm down in the next stone bracket, so i'll be making my way through the 14's hopefully very quickly as I really want to lose more before my holiday because I don't know what size i'm going to be.
So very pleased after my dilly-dallying of recent I can't quite believe I've lost it.
