Marmaduke's food diary

[marmaduke]

Really pleased, I've lost another 2lbs this week so must be doing something right! I have stopped thinking about food so much and I think I'm starting to get used to it a bit more now. I'm going to stick with it as it really works and I'm well on my way to my first mini target of 1 stone by xmas x

 

[marmaduke]

Breakfast:

mullerlight fruit and hifi bar around 10am in work

lunch:

mugshot, sw quiche, fruit

tea:

Pasta with passata and quorn pieces topped with cheese and a bit of quiche with mushroom, ham and onion (a few syns for cheese on pasta)

I was in a cooking mood so I've made lots of yummy food to have for lunch over the next few days!

Just had a muller cherry layer for pudding which I think is 2 syns

hexA - milk in tea/coffee, laughing cow lights
hexB - hifi bar
syns - cheese - approx 6 syns muller 2 syns

I've decided I'm better off not having weetabix for breakfast and I actually feel fuller having a mullerlight with some fruit for brekkie at around 8 and then having a hifi bar between 10 and 11.

Thursday

Brekkie:

mullerlight, banana, hifi bar at around 10.30

Lunch:

pasta bake, sw quiche, quorn ham, laughing cow light, apple

Tea:

sw chips, beans and quiche with ketchup (1 syn)

Might have another mullerlight later or a curly wurly perhaps!

I have noticed that I'm eating mostly the same food lately, mainly because I haven't been shopping and not got much else in. Will try and vary it a bit more from next week. I've also noticed that I'm much less hungry, the last few days especially so, looks like my body is getting used to slimming world, yay!

Congratulations on your loss. It sounds like you've really got the hang of it and are enjoying yourself.

 

[marmaduke]

Thanks Circles, yes I'm getting the hang of it now, the first week was tricky as I seemed to be thinking about food all the time but that has calmed down now. I'm doing much more cooking and eating much less processed food and ready meals so all is good, already over half a stone down and my clothes are starting to feel loose!

Going to a friends tonight so will more than likely have a couple of wines so will be good all day and try not to use any syns so that I can have a couple of drinks guilt free! Planning on an alcohol free saturday night but might have a chinese take away - first one in weeks, was thinking of going for chicken chow mein as I believe this is fairly low in syns?

Just had weigh in and didn't lose this week, in fact I gained half a pound! Although I suspect it may be to do with what I was wearing this week so I'm not getting too upset about it. Hopefully I'll have a great loss next week as I am being good and sticking to it and saving my syns through the week for booze. Got a night out saturday again but I'll stick to spirits and wines and hopefully will be ok. I have also decided to do mainly green days unless I am eating out or having take away or something, I don't eat much meat anyway and feel I'm missing out on healthy extras doing extra easy.

 

[marmaduke]

Feeling positive as I've weighed myself on my scales and I'm showing a loss so I'm thinking the gain was to do with what I was wearing. Every other week I've made sure I wear the same sort of thing but I was in a rush last night and didn't have time to change. Hopefully I'll get a good loss at weigh in next week.
