I maintained at weigh in tonight, which is great but I'd hoped for at least a 1/2lb loss since I've put in alot of effort in terms of upping my activity and sticking well within syns. BUT lets not forget I also had a fab holiday so I'm happy to take the maintain on the chin
I've pledged 3lb loss for next week. Ambitious but I feel there's a hidden loss somewhere this week....... I hope I'm right - he he !!!
Off to update todays foodies now.

OMG, this would be awfully dangerous territory for me. Thank goodness there is nothing similar near me that I know of!
Menu's are looking good I'd say, lots of super-free in there
Ha ha ! Thanks Teresa Thanks Beegee, I've been trying to squash in the superfree BUT...... tonight we went out for happy hour cocktails
I tried to seek out the healthy option (( ha ha ha ))..... I had 3 black russians which were made with diet coke each one was 25ml kahula and 25ml vodka. I;ve come home and had some chickpea curry and bombay potatoes. Also had 1 chocolate elclaire (2syns).
I've had a good night and the alcohol doesnt happen very often. I have a busy body magic weekend which can also be low syn, so fingers crossed I can be on track...... will work out the syns of the beverages tomorrow am
Night all :8855:

Ooh cocktail night. How fantastic! Seems as though you made a very sensible choice and they sound delicious. I remember getting very hammered on cocktails in a bar in Kos once, they all had names like Mississippi Mud Pie and had a ton of Baileys in them. Gawd knows the syns in something like that, you did really well!
Oh Beegee the Baileys ones would be my favourite too. We didnt plan on a cocktail night but wanted to catch the last of the summer evenings for sitting outside and the place we went had a 2 for 1 offer
Anyway here's how yesterday panned out....

Well woopeee I'm back to green...... I'm definitely more comfortable with green. On red or ee it always seems a hassle to remember things differently and work out what I've had A and B wise.
I've noticed again that I didnt have my full healthy A choice again yesterday..... this is very strange for me, I guess I'm not drinking as much tea. This means I could have more cheese
Here's today:
Sunday
Breakfast: melon (SS) followed by a veggie cooked breakfast (crushed potato with onion and roasted red pepper, baked beans and two fry-lighted eggs) (FREE)
Dinner: Cheese salad (HA 42g super light cheese) with lettuce, tom,cu, onion and carrot (FREE). Strawberries (SS) and Melon (SS)
Tea: 70g salmon (HB = 57g, so a bit more than a HB), sw wedges, peas (SS), broad beans (SS) and green beans (FREE).
Snack: coffee with Baileys - 1 x 25ml shot shared between 2 (2syns). Ryvita minis from multipack (HB =normal pack of ryvita minis, so a bit less than a HB). 1/2 a small banana, nectarine, apple.
Snack: vlf fromage frais (whole big pot!) with 22g options hot choc (4syns), 1 cup of tea (part HA)
Cinema: fruit pot strawbs, melon, pineapple, grapes
Snack when home: plain wholewheat pasta
Exercise - 60mins walk
