Gobolino's Food Diary - converted to ww now!

[Derbynanny]

my scales are in a storage box under the bed. Hope that is far enough away. I have made the decision that even though it will be difficult for me to go to group next week I am going to go even if it is just for weigh in as that will help me stick to beeing OP this week. I am not even going to weigh before i go to group !!!

 

[gobolino]

Thanks Beegee -I'd love my shiny this week but in all reality, my average loss per week is 0.75 lb, so it could take a little while longer !!!

Oh Teresa, my scales are away too. I'm committed to this cause. Perhaps I wont weigh before group either!

Yesterday I had a licorice bar (5 syns) in the evening too so that took my syns to 20syns for wednesday.

Here's thursday:
B-42g all bran (HB), 350ml milk (HA), banana
D-jacket, beans, 42g cathedral city cheese (HA), beans
T-chickpea and veg curry and rice (I'm not counting a HB for this as there was no way there was 4 tbsp of oil in the 4 servings, I just used a spray oil as I'd run out of fry light, so the previous HB's worth of oil were an overestimate), fromage frais, quark and 11g hot choc (2syns)
snacks- 3 HiFis (HB + 12syns), grapefruit, apple, 3 kiwis, punnet of strawberries

I feel I've eaten like a pig today, I've had 3 HiFis which is really not good. I think the problem stems from buying 3 different flavours so in future I'll stick to 2 flavours maximum. 3 HiFis= tummy/wind problems. Not good.

In good news, I've stuck to plan essentially. I've eaten a few super speed foods and might even have another grapefruit later!

Forgot to add that yesterday and today I've managed a 30min walk each day.

I'm off to bed soon for an early night, I think TOTM is on due soon and I'm sleepy..... could also be the reason for my big appetite

D- asparagus with poached egg, mozzarella stack with tomato, basil, balsamic vinegar (HA for 60g mozzarella), 1 fruitstick, like a mini solero from aldi (they are 3.5 syns, but my dog had the last bite of it, so that makes it 3 syns), apple, strawberries and raspberries

[gobolino]

Still no sneaky peak at the scales. I'm feeling quite proud and also very trusting in the sw plan

 

[Derbynanny]

Well done ! Those aldi sticks sound nice

 

[gobolino]

They are really nice !!! They are very satisfying too, they are 5 syns each, but there are 10 in a pack so I'm only opening the box if I'm in an in control mood They are individually wrapped though. Definitely worth a try.

Here's my plan for today:
B- melon, pineapple, apple
snack- latte (HA), hifi (HB)
D- veg lasagna (1/2 HA for 20g cathedral city lighter+5syns for the cheese sauce), salad and asparagus, mini milk (2syns)

Review of this weeks syns:
weds-20
thurs-14
fri-20
sat-16
sun/mon/tues (35 to play with).... so far I've had 11 today, 24 remaining.

 

[Derbynanny]

Such a good idea to do a round up like that of the weeks syns so far

 

[gobolino]

Ha ha, especially good when you know you've had a few too many early on in the week

 

[Derbynanny]

It is because then you see you have some left instead of just thinking you have blown it and making it all worse !!

 

[Derbynanny]

Going over by a few syns is never what makes us gain it is not counting and losing control ! (very good to remind ourselves of this!)

Are you still SP free? I am although was very tempted to weigh today.

 

[gobolino]

Indeed very true! I am still SP free and it feels good. I feel more confident but I dont know why, I only hope that I get a nice surprise on the scales on Tues night (I intend not to even look before I go so it will be a total surprise!).

Monday:
B-swiss bircher, oats (28g HB & 1scan bran), 100g l/f yog (will check on syns, its one of the easiyo yogurts that you make yourself -1syn), 80ml skimmed milk (1/2 HA), grated apple, strawberries and a small banana
snacks-another small banana, apple, milk in tea (HA)
D- gorgeous h/m tom and basil soup, sushi snack pack (1/2syn), yog and strawberries
T- veg lasagne (5syns+1/2HA), mini milk (2syns)
snack- ryvita minis from multipack and 40g chilli philli (HB+1syn), melon later.

Total 9.5 so far
Exercise- 50mins walking

 

[Derbynanny]

Good luck for weigh in today Are you going to keep the scales hidden?

 

[gobolino]

Thanks! I am keeping them hidden, although now I'm doubting my success this week. I've stuck to plan, stuck within syns, not done a huge amount of exercise, but I guess its just one of those things if I dont lose. I dont feel like I'm put on though, so at least in that way I feel ok. Plus I keep reminding myself that my sanity is worth more than worrying about the actual numbers on the scales...... if I feel good, then all is good

So, scales are hidden still although tonight I know the feeling will be strong to have a sneaky peak. But, it's going to be a complete surprise!

Here's todays food:
Tuesday
B-melon, 2 scan bran(1syn+part HB), banana, 28g oats (HB), 100g yog (1syn), skimmed milk (HA)
D- tom and basil soup, gherkins, 77g bread roll (HB+2syns), 20g chilli philli (1.5syns)
T- cheese (HA) on 2 scan bran (2syns)
Totals so far HA HA HB HB + 7.5syns

 

[Derbynanny]

DO NOT STEP ON THE SCALES OR I MAY BE TEMPTED TOO lol and you can not let me down !

 

[gobolino]

Deal

 

[gobolino]

Well no loss or gain to report.... I stayed the same. I'm staying off the scales and will try again for a nice surprise next tuesday. I've had a couple of treats tonight 1 hifi, 2 magnum minis and 2 chocolate sticks A line will be drawn under tonight and start afresh tomorrow.

 

[Derbynanny]

How annoying :-( but stay off those scales and i bet you get that stone next week or the week after
