Gail's diary and thoughts on her SW journey

Ooh, I wanna see too, I'm all intrigued!! Like Jules, my box is a bit empty at the moment, I think it has 4 Aldi cereal bars and two bags of mini animals. There are no other treats in my house... :( I am actually scared that if there comes a day when I do have money to burn, it will all go on treats and I won't resist having a massive binge!! No danger of that anytime soon tho ;) xx
 
Promise!

That snacky day wasn't that many snacks considering the time you finally had dinner! I'd have eaten my own ARM by then!
 
Confessions of a cereal bar addict.................

Ok. So first you have to read about my day. Good day. A bit less munchy today (but far less opportunity too which is better) - the cause has revealed itself to be *week so that's good. The first time that I've really been able to identify what hormones do to me, because before I just used to eat anyway !

Food today:
Breakfast: Muller light yoghurt, passion fruit, melon
Lunch: small baked potato, home made bolognaise sauce, large salad
Evening meal: Home made lasagne (was DELICIOUS - I am so proud of myself :)) with packet cheese sauce 1.5 syns per portion plus 75ml semi skimmed milk (part of HexA), 22g low fat cheddar (other part of HexA), salad
Pudding - offered friend who came over Gu chocolate tiramisu or melt in middle chocolate pudding (both just over 20 syns each). She chose tiramisu with ice cream. I knew I wasn't going to be able to resist the ice cream when it came out so I haved saved the tiramisu for another day and had 100g Haagen Dazs Dulce de Leche icecream with raspberries. OMG. It was amazing. Syns calculator says it's 12 syns - I can't believe its not a bit more but I'll take that !! I will dream about the rest of the tub until it's time for the next 'episode'. Yum. (the reason I bought the Dulce de Leche one is because I remember Jules and Lil Sausage discussing it on a thread a while ago - I told you I thought about food all the time !!!).

No snacks and no HexB today. Have thought about a cereal bar (!) but think I've had enough sugar for one day and it's not as though my diet is limited in fibre.........

So, I have just been downstairs to photograph the cereal bar collection and counted them. I am so embarrassed and can't believe I'm going to give you the actual total (rather than the actual total minus a few to make it even a little less embarrassing). There were 157 bars in total but then I remembered I hadn't counted the butterscotch HiFi bars which are in a different place. I think I have 2 boxes of them so grand total approximately 169 (and there's only me lives here !). Number of types of bar: 14 !!!! Ooooops. I hadn't realised I was quite that bad. Must have a syns and cereal bar party :). Pictures coming up in a minute............

(please don't laugh at me too much :wave_cry:):ashamed0005:

I used the Schwartz bechamel sauce mix - 110 calories (so assumed 5.5 syns in total) plus 300 mls semi skimmed milk for 4 generous portions. It was only because my friend is a bit fussy so I didn't want to subject her to a yoghurt/quarky type sauce but next time I will definitely try that (although no regrets because the packets sauce was yummy :))

So this cereal bar party - when can we come over? ;o)

Have to say Gail that you have a very impressive selection of cereal bars, please could you put my name on the list for your cereal bar fest;) x
 
Mmmm cereal bars! I'm utterly impressed with your collection and organisational skills!
 
Wow, impressive!! I take it u bulk buy when they are on offer? Dont u worry they will go out of date before u eat them all??!!
 
Sadly I didn't bulk buy them when they are on offer, I just keep buying them. I'm a bit embarrassed by how many there actually are :eek: but if you count how many there are 'per flavour' it may not be as bad...............................................:p

Another good day for me so far although I ate 2 ferrero rocher at work which means that I will have less syns to eat here later. Ah well.

EE day
Breakfast: mullerlight cheesecake yoghurt (1 syn), raspberries, passion fruit, pear
Lunch: remains of lasagne (1.5 syns) plus most of HexA, lettuce, beetroot, tomato, cucumber, pepper.
Snack: 2 ferrero rocher (7 syns)
Tea: haven't decided yet plus HexB (cereal bar anyone......!) and 5.5 syns to use.

Still feeling very proud of myself for just about staying within syns 2 days ago when I was feeling so munchy - that's a miracle and a real achievement for me as I just wanted to put my head in a biscuit tin.

You will all be invited to the 'cereal bar and syns' party when I get round to arranging it :D :eek:

Off to orchestra soon and working this weekend - having to get up before 11am on a weekend just isn't right :( !

Catch you later.

I havent had ferrero rocher in FOREVER! Oooh! Paaaarty!

Weekends are made for snoozing though! Yuck, will you get a "weekend" another day?
 
Hi Gail!

We really were separated at birth - if I piled up all the cereal bar boxes from my cupboards I think it would look very similar!! Although I'm more of a summer fruits, or choc and orange alpen light bar girl myself!

Will think of you tomorrow morning when I'm having a lie-in! :p
 
:D That's an impressive collection! I'm a bit of a cereal bar hoarder myself, but unfortunately I have a daughter who loves them and so they go quickly. I haven't got as many as you though - something to aspire to ;)
