Going it alone - food diary!

It did help with my nibbling urges during the day but unfortunately not at night!! I have a jar of peanut butter in the larder and it tempts me. Sometimes before bed I just crave some toast and peanut butter. I usually use my HE in the form of weetabix in the morning, so maybe I should try and have fruit in the mornings and leave my HE for toast in the evening. That might work.

Yes, that's a good idea.
Goodluck with your WI tomorrow.
 
So delighted to have lost 1lb this week!! After the weekend I had, I honestly felt that I was going to have weight on, but this has given me such an incentive!!

Going to do Yoga tonight and gym/swim workout over the weekend and Yoga again on Sunday night. Really need to bring exercise into my diet plan more in order to shift weight. I was asked out on a date (but refused, was too busy with work this week), and may be re-asked out so this is also an incentive to keep positive and keep losing!

Did a very bad thing this morning and weighted myself. Delighted to see I had lost 1lb so what did I do? Made a lunch and then when I got to work was so freezing and shivery I just "needed" something warm. Hence a toasted soda, slice of bacon and sausage :(

Tea with milk (HE)
Weetabix (HE)

Tea with milk
Toasted soda, one sausage, one slice of bacon (I'm just going to give this my fully 14 syns. It may be more but 2 x soda should be 7, plus approx 3.5 syns for the sausage and bacon. It's probably more though. Disappointed in myself.

This day went from bad to worse. Met a friend and we got snowed on so we went to Nando's to escape :(

Chicken wrap
Beans

Don't even want to think about syns!! :( :(
