Laura's EE diary...

Just be careful with guesstimating Syn values. Crusty bread is notoriously high in Syns, and depending on how much you actually ate you could have used 7 Syns (or more!) on that alone! Also as well as the crusty bread and the coleslaw, you would need to Syn the hummus too. Olives also need to be Synned - I think they're 7 for 1 Syn, and you would need to account a few Syns for the parmesan in the salad if the other cheese you had was your Healthy Extra. Also - unless the Pitta bread was a WW Wholemeal pitta, it cannot be counted as a healthy extra and would need to be Synned.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

Ahh thanks for that, I literally had the smallest bit of crusty bread so I'm not worried about that, I counted the olives as 1 because I only had 3, I had no hummus and the coleslaw was reduced fat, I didn't have any pitta bread either, so I think I was ok..I'm only going to have a light tea so hopefully my syns won't be too high!

It's ok it's good to know these things! I love hummus but I know how much oil is in it as well!

I am sure you will be just fine!

Hiya I just marinated the beef in soy sauce and sweet chilli sauce mixed together, then I cooked off some onion and pepper and I used Thai sweet chilli supernoodles light and put some fresh chilli on top for a bit of spice xx

We are going to an Italian...anyone got any suggestions?

xoxo

 

[littlemisspiggy16]

If it's the kind of Italian that only does pizza & pasta, I'd prob go for some kind of vegetarian pasta dish like lasagne or canelloni. Or if there's sone kind of pasta with seafood in a tomatoe-based sauce that might be ok.

Some Italian restaurants also do meat and fish dishes - some kind of grilled fish with salad would be very low syn

Hope you have a lovely time whatever you decide on!

[yellowturtle13]

I would look out for any tomato based dishes or a risotto? Just try and have a big salad and then you may not need so much of the main dish enjoy! Xx

 

[Laura*7]

Gosh today has been manic! All I've had today is a bacon and scrambled egg pitta and a packet of walkers crisp! I'm hungry but don't want to have anything because I'm going out for a meal tonight and I get weighed tomorrow!

If you're hungry then eat, don't starve yourself. Try a piece of fruit or something, that should tide you over x

I completely agree. You may be more likely to go for the not-so-good things this evening if you have not eaten much substance all day.. I recommend lots of berries (ssf) mixed with some yogurt.

Enjoy tonight!

[Laura*7]

Just had a banana...feel a lot better, thanks guys!!

[Laura*7]

Back from my meal and I ended up having piri piri duck with vegetables and I had one glass of red wine...woops!
So today has been a right off really! But I've got quite a bit of syns left over from the week so I'm flexing today ha!
Hope it's not done too much damage for tomorrow's weigh in!

Laura!!

That sounds extremely tame for a meal out in an Italian restaurant! ! Don't right off today at all! Give yourself a high 5 for only having one glass of wine

Good luck for tomorrow xx

 

[Laura*7]

Haha I know I then had soda for the rest of the night


I lost 3lb this week...a bit disappointing considering its my first week! But I came on this morning and I feel really bloated (I hate saying that because its like an excuse!)

xx

 

[Princess_Stevie]

I think 3lb is a fantastic loss! Especially when you had a meal out last night and admitted you were off plan. Don't be disappointed, you're lighter than you were last week! Well done x

Aw thanks that's made me feel better...there's just people in our class who lost 8lb in their first week but like you said I'm lighter than last week! Xx
