I want to be 10 stone!!! - T's food diary

[teresa32uk]

I been off plan for about 4 days and once again i feel horrible, fat, grumpy and my skin is breaking out. Why oh Why do i do it???
This time i convinced myself it was for the best, how i dont know but i did. No i feel rubbish.
I didnt weigh in this week, so will leave this till Saturday but i sure i will have put on 2 takeaways, 1/2 large bar of Cadburys wholenut, lots of white bread and butter to name but a few of the lot i ate.

Well here is the line i have drawn. A end to eating rubbish and feeling rubbish.

Monday - Red starting again.

Well today i have been good but thats only cause i been so busy.
During the day i went food shopping and stocked up on lots of sw goodies for this week, so fingers crossed this week should at least make a little dent in whatever bad i did at the weekend.

I think the thing that still surprises me, is how terrible i feel after eating all the rubbish foods. I wish i could somehow tattoo this into my head so when i feel the urge i say no.

Well back to today, as i been busy i not had much fruit and veg, but i am aiming this week to have at least 10 a day.

Breakfast - Banana (1) - this was at 10am then i left work, went shopping to Aldi and Morrisons and didnt eat again till 4.30pm.

Lunch - 2 slices of wholemeal 400g loaf with Roast Chicken.

Tea - 50g lean corned beef, 1.5 syns, Potatoes and Silverskin Onions in Balsamic Vinegar (2).

I really need to eat some fresh fruit this evening to at least eat the recommended 5.
So to up my fruit and veg i took an apple (3) for the walk with the dog.

Came back and while cooking lunch for tomorrow, quartered an orange (4).

I then had some Oakhurst Red Thai Chicken, syn free and yummy. 7 Olives - 1 syn and Sun dried Tomatoes (5)- 1 syn.

Treat with cup of tea was chocolate cake, 7 syns.
It was yummy and sickly but definately worth the 7 syns.

Syns today 10.5 so far.

Hello food diary.
I found you.
I recently got back on plan and couldnt find my diary, so started a weight loss one, but as all i do is write my food down, seemed silly to call it a weight loss one so i back here.

 

[teresa32uk]

At last i have found my food diary.
I started this so long ago and reading it now has really helped me see that although it was last year, my eating habits are just the same.
Hopefully this will help me in changing them.
I still believe it is all about being prepared - cooking tea the night before is the best way for me to stick to plan and when i know what i am having for tea, i can work out if it is red, green or extra easy day and eat lunch, breakfast and snacks accordingly.

 

[teresa32uk]

Plan for today - Tuesday - Extra Easy

Breakfast - Mushrooms, strange breakfast but actually really nice

Slimming World Lasagne (4 syns for this portion)

It can be made using Colmans Cheddar cheese sauce which is 8 syns for the pack or Schwarts cheddar cheese sauce which is 7.5 syns for the pack. It has to be made up using 300ml of milk so you would have to use the milk as HEA or syn it.

I MADE THIS LAST NIGHT AND IT WAS GORGEOUS. MUCH NICE THAN ANY READY BOUGHT LASAGNE I'VE HAD IN THE PAST.

Ingredients:
500g Extra lean minced beef
4 rashes of smoked bacon (all visible fat removed)
a box of button mushrooms
1 red & 1 yellow pepper
1 large onion
4 garlic cloves
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
500g carton of passata
mixed herbs
lea & perrins
splash of red wine
1 beef oxo cube
Lasagne sheets
1 packet of Colman's cheese sauce (8 syns)
HEA of Cheese.

Method:
brown off all the chopped veg in a large frying pan, add minced beef and brown for 10-15 minutes, drain fat, add the tinned tomatoes & passata, a few splashes of lea and perrins and red wine and then crumble in the oxo cube. Add the mixed herbs and simmer for 30 minutes,stirring every few minutes.

Line a casserole dish with some of the bolognese, then lasagne sheets and vice versa.
Top with the cheese sauce & sprinkle on some cheese.
Cook in the oven on gas mark 6 for around 30 minutes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
The line however is drawn, next week i will prepare better and take lots of free foods to snack on.
But today i have woke up motivated and rearing to get back on plan.

Please help me to change this and give me some willpower to stop and think.

So much for planning, when i got home from work after 10 hours (it should have been 7.5) i didnt fancy lasagne. Not that it has gone to waste i have cut it into 8 portions and bunged it in the freezer.
Quick meals 2 syns a piece cant be a bad thing.

Anyway today ended up being red and i stuck to plan only 11 syns.

Tomorrow will be a challenge as we have a Fish and Chip Quiz Night at work.
The boss pays for fish and chips for all and i am the unlucky one collecting 100 portions from the chippy.
Luckily i have blagged the pool car, dont like the idea of my motor smelling like a fishmongers for days on end.

So i have a plan.
Green day

Boiled Eggs and Soliders - Heb
Mugshot
Banana
Chips from Chippy - 17syns
Fish - Heb - i plan to not eat batter.
So hopefully 17 syns tomorrow only a few over, lets see what happens.
To be continued.................
