dont think it would have weighed much, we picked it up cheap in tesco and i had the smallest of the two fillets. thanks texty 
I will have a 100% week this week... in fact tomorrow - sat 9th will be 100% I have to get my head back in the game and know every syn value of everything i eat before i eat it!
running went well, I did 6.25 miles on Sat (after 6 on Thursday) I was hoping to do more but the route I took was eoodlands so harder then just a road run woth hill training in there too... oh and we ran there and back so probably just over 7 miles in reality.

There were a few of us on Saturday, was going to go running with the lady I drive out to club with but when we were talking about it someone else at the club said about meeting somewhere else, there were 5 of us in the end, which was lovely It does feel great, I couldn't imagine not doing it now, which is weird considering only a few months ago I could't imagine running at all lol.

Sorry just realised I replied about the running and not the lasagne (I was on my phone when replying)
I don't have a recipe as such, just fry off whatever veg I'm using (I throw anything in, onions, mushrooms, aubergine, courgette... whatever I have in really) add pasatta or chopped toms, beef stock and lentils and simmer until the lentils are cooked (I use red lentils) also add some herbs and/or spices here again whatever I have to hand. then I layer that mixture with lasagne sheets and either quark mixed with an egg or natural yogurt sometimes mixed with an egg sometimes not depending how lazy I'm feeling, after the last layer of quark or nat yog I top with healthy extra of cheese, mine makes 3 portions so I use 120g low fat cheese to top it and bake in the oven for 40 minutes, checking and if it starts to brown too much I put tin foil over the top.

Breakfast - Pineapple, apple, kiwi and mango with yogurt
Lunch - ham and veg quiche with salad and tinned spaghetti
Tea - turkey curry with rice
Snacks - crabsticks, hifi bar (HEB) 2 babybel (HEA) not sure on syns, depends on what is on offer at taster session.

Yeah I'm really happy with that to be honest, as over the two weeks I really hadn't stuck to it so 1lb over 2 weeks is great.

It is good when you feel on track, I feel it motivates me to stick to it more! I'm off to the Metrocentre tomorrow and already have planned a low syn lunch at Nandos!

So far today has gone to plan, not had any of the snacks yet (have had a bite of rice pudding before work but not my whole portion) and a couple of boiled eggs. still feeling really great.
Saturday 2nd March - EE
might be a little difficult as I'm at my nephews Birthday party.... planning on not eating anything but if I do I might have one of my mums home-made buns (same recipe as mine, so around 7 syns) instead of some of my other syns, but I can't imagine there being any left as they're so yummy and look great so surely all the kids will go for them.
Breakfast - sausages (1 syn) bacon, fried or scrambled eggs, beans, tomatoes and mushrooms
Lunch - not completely sure on lunch yet... will decide and update tomorrow... maybe savoury rice with added veg and ham or salad if I'm not feeling too hungry
Tea - bacon and chicken carbanana made with quark (not tried it with quark for a long time so hoping it turns out okay)
Snacks - chocolate philli (6 syns) with banana on 2 ryvita fruit crunch (HEB) if I don't have a bun I will have a chocolate orange tiffin bar (7.5 syns) really edging towards the bun if I can get my hands on one though, crabsticks, rice pudding with apple and kiwi, milk in drinks (HEA)

Another change of plan, will stay off the bread as we're going out for tea to celebrate my boyfriend getting his new job
I'll have tuna pasta salad for lunch and mixed grill when we go out, going to give my boyfriend my sausage and order it with jacket potato instead of chips... only synned things will be fried egg .5 syns and onion rings... which I'm tempted to eat but don't really know the syns on them so might begrudgingly give them to my boyfriend as well

To be fair it wasn't too bad it was all because of my running, I had porridge which I measured out for breakfast and a banana, but then I had some of my mums home made flapjack before the race (well a couple of pieces) and then my gel which I planned on having and def needed which was 4 syns, then after the race I had more flapjack, then a ham and cheese toastie (wholemeal bread so not bad but I had already had my HEB) then more flapjack oh and a chocolate horlicks.... so terrible syns wise but tea was on plan and the syns weren't as bad as they could have been.
It was only because of my race... I'm back on it today. Tomorrow I need to start saving syns for the weekend as well as have another race on Sunday (plus its mothers day so will be having a couple of extra treats anyway) and Friday I have a sausage and bacon sarnie waiting for me at school lol
