So far so good, but I've already eaten my graze box :/ keep thinking ooo a couple more syns won't hurt, but wanting to save them as not sure what food will be like over the next 3 days, tomorrow we're off to a superhero thing and not sure what we'll be eating, Sunday is another race and Monday I'm going to a BBQ, going to try and make sensible choices but might go a little over, (just hope I don't end up being under syns for the week as I don't loose if I don't eat enough)
I'm craving everything though.... going to make syn free pancakes with banana and strawberries later but holding off until later otherwise I'll have nothing to snack on then....
Boyfriend has just sat eating half a pot of Ben and Jerrys and even offered me some and I said no though, well I said a bit more then no but I think he deserved it lol.
Stay strong, we can do it

Hahaha that made me laugh! Hate when people offer you stuff 
My mam and dad are having fish and chips and my cheese and broccoli pasta was nothing in comparison! But I'm happy I didn't cave maybe some MORE fruit and yoghurt later ha hey why not!
Good luck with your race! You excited? X

Oooo fruit and yogurt... I have plenty of that in. Might even make some savoury rice up if I get really hungry later.
Thank you, yeah looking forward to it, sounds like an interesting one, will be hard going but hopefully fun near the end you have to go through a stream with a rope to hold on to, there's loads of photo's from last year of people falling in it :/ haha will have to hold on tight

I'll update tomorrow dreading it to be honest as I still feel really run down stupid cold. I'll plod along through though, as long as I finish I'm not worried about my time or anything. Just hope I enjoy it.
Today didn't go as well as planned, ended up at an all you can eat buffet and had a couple of puddings thrown into the mix (whoops) hoping as I've kept syns low the rest of the week I might get away with it. Just depends on how bad the next couple of days are, but I think they should be okay.... so we'll see on Tuesday

Couple of things I'm updating about.
First off that was officially the hardest race I have ever done, even my mum said it was her hardest and she's been racing for years. I really enjoyed it though, hoping they got a photo of me in the stream.
Secondly food hasn't been great again today (although not as bad as yesterday) but I just weighed at my mums and ive lost a lb since I was last weighed... I know I still have tomorrow to go and it may not have taken into account what I ate yesterday but I'll be happy if I maintain on Tuesday a loss will be amazing its spurred me onto make sure I stick to plan tonight and not go too crazy tomorrow as well

^^I love how you do as well, I always feel a little guilty when I see some people's diaries and they eat hardly anything, but it works for us
Some small changes to todays plan, had a snickers flapjack for 8 syns after my race so then rather then having the chocolate and cereal bars when I got home I decided to have 2 ryvita fruit crunch as my HEB with chocolate philli for 6 syns.
Also boyfriend ate my beans and I couldn't be bothered to make an omelette so had chickpea dhal with salad

I did really enjoy my syns, I'll have the Easter egg chocolate another day... I have about 7 halves to get through.... one of them is a massive one so I may give that to my boyfriend as I have to split that in half again which is quite awkward... but then I keep thinking about the chocolate haha.

I could not half the chocolate though
Sammy does not share food! Haha xx

I know that's what I keep thinking, I have so much chocolate in though so I'm being silly haha.... might wait until its closer to the best before date and if I haven't eaten it he can have it.
Nando's sounds good
