I have to admit, Kim that red days are the only day I can't get my head around, granted I haven't tried overly hard but anyways. I actually would prefer to have carbs to meat and maybe it's just me and my very limited understanding but is there more weighing on red days? PLUS they syn my favourite thing in the whole world...sweetcorn, how very dare they!!
 
Maybe red days wouldn't suit you if you can't do without your sweetcorn lol! Yes you have to weigh your carbs like pasta & spuds but get very little pasta but a lot of spuds! I tend to do a mix of all 3 plans in the week to get variety so if you ever fancy a red day & get stuck just holler x

Thanks Kim, I may take you up on that if target keeps running away from me!

Green day (I swear, vegetarianism is happening).

Breakfast
Shreddies, skimmed milk and a banana (HEA and B1)

Lunch
2 slices of wholemeal bread and 2 Linda McCartney vegetarian sausages and ketchup (6 syns and HEB2)
An apple

Dinner
Baked potato, HEA2 of cheese, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, sweetcorn and spaghetti hoops.

Snack
Apple

Gym
Cardio
Treadmill-3.6km in 28mins and 44seconds. Average speed 7.6km/h. Average gradient 1. Don't understand how I travelled the same distance in 3 minutes more today given that I did week3 Day 1 of the Couch to 5k Programme but everyone raves about it so I'll trust it. Going to do it the next 2 times I'm at the gym. Think it's the right level for me to start at.

Rower-1000m in 5mins and 42 seconds. Resistance-7

Stepper-5mins 4 secs got me to 21floors at Level 7. So have upped the level on this one :) Gotta keep going, need to maybe start replacing the treadmill with this as my main cardio. Not all the time but just to mix it up, want to get underway with the couch to 5k though

Weights
Low Row-22.5kg (30 reps, both arms)
15kg (30 reps for my useless left arm)

Shoulder press -20kg (24 reps-it nearly killed me today, don't know why).

Chest press-20kg (16 reps and again, I thought I was going to die...why am I getting weaker?lol)

There were far too many people in the gym, which I was surprised at as it's an off peak time. Hmm! Meant I couldn't get to the weight machines I had wanted and the free weights area was packed with the big scary men again....maybe next time lol!

Total Syns:6

Wish I hadn't had the sausages for lunch now as I'd love a freddo lol!

We made the SW doner kebab with extra lean mince last night - was totally amazing! Can highly recommend if you fancy a meat fix - stuff it into a HEXB wholemeal pitta with some syn free chilli sauce (which tastes a lot like ketchup) and a big old salad on the side. Yum! :)
 
Lol! I found all sorts when rummaging through ours. It should be ready to defrost by the weekend - never thought we'd get through it all!

Wednesday 7th November
EE Day

Breakfast
Tesco Summer fruits, 1 apple, 1 banana and 1 ring of pineapple. Topped with a muller light.

Lunch
Bacon in a 60g wholemeal bap (HEB) with a handful of carrot sticks. 2 syns of tomato sauce.

I had planned on having slightly more with lunch but I'm not hungry and I'm literally eating just because it's lunchtime and I know I should. HOWEVER, why the hell are 60g baps so tiny? Am I being a greedy gorb? They're miniscule. Give me a big white baguette any day lol!

Dinner
2 egg omelette, 2 bacon medallions, sweetcorn, courgette, onions, pepper and mushroom. Used my HEA of milk. Wasn't really feeling it so left a good bit...that never happens.

Snack
Freddo-5.5 syns

Total syns: 7.5 (well that's the plan so far)

Have to admit I'm feeling mighty sorry for myself.* week has arrived and my tummy is sooo sore. Ended up falling back asleep this morning and waking up with horrific pain. Manned up though and got myself off to the gym as I knew that if I didn't I'd feel even worse later. Didn't over exert myself, bare minimum tbh.

Cardio
Treadmill- Couch to 5k-Week 3 day 2. Complete. Exactly the same stats as yday-28.44 minutes, 7.6km/h and 3.6km travelled. Not sure how as I didn't feel I was giving it as much as yesterday but hey ho.
Reclined bike - 2km in 5 minutes. Really should have done more on this but I just wanted to get home and snuggled up again.
And that, would be the grand shameful total of today's cardio lol!

Weights
Free weights-Bicep curls, 2 sets of 8 reps at 4kg. Then used 5kg for 1 set of 6. I swear I'm beyond weak. The machines make it sooo much easier to lift bigger weights.
Low row-27.5kg-2 sets of 15 reps.
Bicep curl machine-Omg I HATE this machine, I officially can't use it, my arm won't bend that way regardless of strength! I literally pi$$ed about on it for 2 minutes. Wouldn't even count the reps but this is reminding me not to use it again because I HATE it!
Leg extension-20kg-2 sets of 10 reps.

And then I ran off home!
 
Having a funny old day today, majorly feel like I've overeaten but when I look here I don't think I've eaten differently to any other day. My head hurts thinking about it lol. I swear, I'll read back through this one day and realise I sound mental.

Tomorrow I'm off out for lunch with a friend and it's my granny's birthday so will be visiting her in the morning. Mum's off too which I like and there's a 25% off sale in my fave shop tomorrow so it SHOULD be a good day. I doubt I'll get to the gym and tbh I could probably do with a rest day as my wee legs are killing me from couch to 5k today (Idk why as I felt like I didn't work as hard as yday).
I'm hoping/thinking tomorrow will pan out like this...ok so I've only made it to lunchtime.

Breakfast
Shreddies, banana and milk (HEA and B)

Lunch
Baked potato and baked beans (the staple choice of SW's when eating out at lunch time). The beans will be interesting as the last time I had them I was disgustingly hungover and because of that haven't had them since. Wish me luck. Also, if anyone's reading this do you add syns for your baked potato? I always worry incase they sneak oil in some how? I'm not sure why they would but anyway.

Dinner
Not sure yet, will be dependent on how full I am after lunch and if I decide I want a green or EE day.

I want a loss so badly this week but really think *week is going to ruin it fs.
 
You don't normally syn a spud but some people rub oil into the skin to crisp it up, but you can normally tell by the look & texture of the skin if they have. You can always ask but if you suspect oil I would syn a tbsp just in case - 6 syns x

Ok, finally have today's information...plans kept changing and I was going to get confused when I looked back over the week so here it is, finally.

Thursday 8th November.
EE Day
Breakfast
Shreddies, banana and skimmed milk-Hea and HEB.

Lunch
Warm chicken salad-3 syns for the cheese (there wasn't v much)

Dinner
tomato mugshot

Total syns 3. Not the best foodwise due to the mugshot but not hungry enough for a full meal and I don't want fruit.

Snacks
Apple
Handful of carrot sticks
Thick ring of pineapple,

3.1 mile walk round the lighthouse ...up over 100 steps and guess what, my friend thought he was having a heart attack half way up lol and I was just a little out of breath. Also, I've just bought 2 pairs of trousers in a size 8 eeek!

I am loving it :D So much so that I bought another pair of jeans this morning haha!

Friday 9th November.
Gym
Treadmill-Couch to 5k week 3 day 3. Week 4 is going to actually kill me. 28 mins, 10 seconds- 7.7km/h, Gradient 1, 3.61km.

Reclined bike-2.5km-6 minutes-level 3. Definitely could have gone faster but I was trying to recover from the treadmill of dooooom (I always have an excuse eek)

Rower-1000m, 5mins 30seconds. Level 7.

Weights
Inner thigh-30kg, 2 sets of 15 reps.

Outer thigh-30kg, 2 sets of 15 reps.

Really worried about next week and starting work as I won't make it to the gym as often as I like. Going to aim for 3 times a week. Fingers crossed. I need to remember that weekends count too!


Food Diary-Green
Breakfast
Muller light with Summer fruits, 1 apple, 1 thick ring of pineapple and some melon.

Lunch
HEA and HEB-Wholemeal roll, cheese and 1 quorn style chicken burger (3 syns) with 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce (1syn)

Dinner
Shreddies, skimmed milk and a banana (2 syns for extra shreddies)

Snacks
Handful of carrot sticks.
Chunky ring of pineapple.

Have eaten the pineapple and dinner quite late. Praying it doesn't adversely affect weigh in.

Weighed in a day early-scales are showing 8st 11. :D That's a 2lb loss.
Really pleased but can't believe it, don't feel like I should trust them lol!
Now quite worried about today and the impact it will have on them :S

Breakfast and lunch will be fine. Dinner is at a friends, don't know what she's making for mains but dessert is a cheesecake. I hope I manage to resist but I seriously doubt I will! Ahh!

Breakfast
2 slices of wholemeal toast and a banana. HEB

Lunch
Fruit salad covered in a vanilla muller light.

Snacks
Will be filling up on fruit and carrot sticks.

Dinner
Don't have a clue. Have saved my HEA as I imagine (I don't know why) that there will be cheese in some form.
