Morning guys - just! Can't you tell I've changed to the evening shift, my sleeping routine has gone completely out of whack already. I'll be glad when I start uni properly next week and I'm forced to get up for 6.30 am and break the cycle. It was my first day on my new team at work yesterday, all last year I worked 9am -1pm Tue - Sat and now I'm doing Sunday 1.30pm - 10pm and Mon, Tue, Wed 6pm - 10pm. Definitely not the cushy shift I'm used to, but one the plus side it seems a lot more relaxed in the evening and after 9 there is pretty much nothing to do except natter for an hour!
As you can imagine though working at that time makes things really difficult food wise. There's a canteen but although its subsidised the food isn't so healthy, mainly panini's and baguettes though occasionally I've spotted a wholemeal roll on show. They do have 50p fruit salad though, which I haven't tried yet but looks fairly nice, albeit teeny! I've tried to be good by getting organised and taking loads of fruit to work and then having a quick snack when I get in at 10.15, it's not like I'm going to be straight away as I need an hour to wind down. Anyway, yesterdays food looked like this, amazed I managed a syn free day on a long Sunday shift, get in!
Day 5 - Sunday 14th September - EE
Lunch - SW style spag bol with cheese (hexa) - yummy!!
Snack - Grapes, banana
Supper - SW quiche with tomatoes, peppers, bacon and garlic mushrooms - also yummy!
Total - 0 syns!
To say it's not that much food I didn't feel ravenous or anything, which feels good! The first few days on plan for me I'm always absolutely starving so it's nice that is starting to trail off again, phew!
Food for today looks pretty similar to yesterday, I'm using up the rest of the spag bol and quiche (both off the SW site) but as they are so delicious I don't mind repeating meals. Can see me having a lot of quiche over the upcoming months, it's so light for after I get in from work and only takes a minute in the microwave to have a warm meal on my plate.
Day 6 - Monday 15th September - EE
Breakfast - Shape yoghurt - 1 syn
Lunch - Spag bol with cheese - hexa
Snacks for work - Chewy D (hexb), banana, sugar free jelly - 1/2 syn
Tea/Supper - Quiche with garlic mushrooms
Total - 1.5 syns
Star week is really annoying me this month, I know its about to start but it hasn't yet and I can't wait to get it out of the way with, especially with weigh in coming up on Thursday. I always bloat so much before hand so it'd be nice to lose some of that before I face the scales again. I'm really proud of how well I'm doing this week so want the results to show on the scale. Never thought I'd see the day where I'm willing a * week to arrive, but here I am!
Got to go now and get on with some more of my course pre-reading, I'm starting to think I'm going to have no time whatsoever when uni starts for real next week. I'm so excited though to get things going, it'll be amazing to be finally doing the course after years of planning and hoping!
