Success Express

Breakfast: Banana (SF) Grapes (SF) Strawberries (SF) and Museli (HEB1) with milk (1/2 HEA1) 2 cups of tea (1/2 HEA1)
Lunch: Salad (SF) with leftover chilli - no cheese (F)
Afternoon snacks: peach (SF) plum (SF) mullerlight (F)
Drinks: maybe another cuppa (1/4 HEA2) and lots of water
Dinner: Chicken (F) in a nandos rub (not sure how many syns - will check packet tonight) with baby courgettes (SF), baby corn (SF), green beans (SF), and sweet potato chips (think these might be a syn on success express? gonna say about 3 syns)

Evening: will probably have another 2 cups of tea (1/2 HEA2)

Total syns approximation: 4/5 Total weekly syns would then be: 26-27/105

Not finding it easy to use my HEB2, maybe more museli?

xxxx

Update so far ....breakfast and lunch were correct, although the boy had put a tiny bit of cheese in the salad (1 syn)
Snack wise: i have been too full to have yoghurt and fruit, but will eat the, as snacks tonight if i am hungry
had one more cuppa and now had about 1 litre of water

I've been kindly informed that sweet potato is free on SE woop so no syns there might be able to keep today's down to just 2! will let you know! (i need to save some as away at weekend)

Ideas for HEB2 will be useful

Update for today:
I had 2 little sweets (2 syns) going to say 1 syn for cheese on salad.
Dinner went as planned but we only used Half packet of nandos rub which came out a 1 syn each, and we didn't have the green beans which might make today more a red day than superfree
So total syns for today is 4 syns

Weekly total 26/105

Weight in in the morning :/ xxxx

 

[JessyG24]

In fact i am gonna be harsh and add 1 syn to wed total as I had balsamic and a dash of sugar in chili
Then 1 syn for tonight as used a bit of oil

So weekly total: 28/105

Friday 30th August EE as eating at my family's tonight and no idea what they're cooking!

Breakfast: Banana (SF) grapes (SF) strawberries (SF) museli (HEB) and some milk allowance (1/2 HEA)
Drinks: 2 cups of tea (1/2 HEA) will have to syn rest of tea that I have today! This is why i do red/green days etc - although depending on what they cook for tea it might fit into a red day
Lunch: Tuna salad - tuna (F) eggs (F) lettuce (SF) tomatoes (SF) and black olives (1 syn) This was from Morrisons but I have thrown away the dressing as that alone was about 100 calories :/

Oh no just realised that cookieI had on Wednesday was more like 9.5 syns than 5 so need to add 4.5 to total brining to 32.5

Then today i had another thinking they were just 5 syns so that brings total to 42 syns

Although on the plus side that does still leave me with 63 syns should be ok! I'm only bothered cos I think I always go way over my weekly syns at weekends, this is the first week I will properly keep track

Hey Jess! Hope you had a good weekend I am feeling mega de motivated this week... I sts which is ok but have been quite tough on myself in relation to working out.. I don't think ive given myself enough credit for the stuff I have done and more so beaten myself up for what I haven't managed to do.. :/ am going to try and find it again today and hope to be back on track for the next week (until I go away next Tuesday-then hopefully just do some damage control whilst away)

Hope you have a good day

Xx

Hey hun

I found that one weird thing aboyt exercising etc is that it can slow down weight loss .... but that can be just loosing fat but gaining muscle and that is a really good thing

Keep positive as you are doing really well
