As I went to bed Friday, I suddenly realised that I'd counted the syns for my tea twice, so instead of the 18.5syns total that I'd written down, I actually had 13.5syns! Very pleased with that.
We've been visiting and out for meals, plus family feel the need to feed us very well too. So after a carvery sat and a meal out in the evening, we then had to go back to sister in laws for cheese and biscuits all laid out. Sat pm we were told that we'd be having a cooked breakfast and linda mcartney sausages had been bought especially for me! As we went to bed in the night I told hubby I didnt even like those sausages much and after overdoing the syns on sat any syn savings would help. By the time I was up this morning hubby (bless him) had already hinted to mother in law that the sausages could wait till next time I was visiting!
So.... Sat
B wholemeal toast (HB+2syns), egg and beans
D carvery (dont eat meat, so syns for stuffing, 1/2 a yorkshire pudding, splash of veggie gravy and an ice cream (oops) 11 syns in total (I might be way out here as I'm synning the icream as 1 scoop)
T scampi (10 scampi arrived on my plate, I ate 5 and gave 5 to hubby (so 10syns), new pots, salad and veg (no dressing or sauces), my starter was melon and raspberry sorbet (1.5syns)
cheese and biscuits - 2 hovis biscuits (4syns), 1 carrs (1syn), 28g goats cheese (HA), 28g red leicester (HB).
snacks- clementines, milk in tea (HA)
The sad thing is I dont really like scampi but it was an early bird with nothing else suitable for me on the menu!
Total -29.5 syns - what a day
Sunday
Before we left to come home a lovely friend of the family brought us a big plate of welsh cakes to bring home with us. I've not had any yet and have told myself I'll have one on tuesday. Meanwhile I'm doing my best to have a good day!
