No excuses! I'm guessing a little bit here... being as honest as I can - I know I can remember my syns, but I'm finding it difficult to remember how many superfrees, snacks etc I've had. I've been in the good habit of just grabbing a satsuma lately, so I may have eaten more than I think.... at least I hope I have.... todays diary coming soon

Thanks sleepymum
I think I'm doing ok at the moment, I have a couple of shaky days but as long as I pull it back the day after I'm trying really hard not to beat myself up over it like I used to. Positivity is the aim of the day!I think I'm going to start doing my diary ever so slightly differently, mostly to make it easier on myself. So every time I post to update in the day, I'm going to cut and paste my food diary into the latest post. That way it's easier for me to update!
Time to go make myself some Carrot Cake!!!

Made the carrot cake, with a few little additions of my own! Turned out really nice - I posted a photo and recipe on me blogger blog: Apple and Carrot Loaf ~ Fatty Von Chocolate's Slimming Adventure
I'm hoping to start using that blog much more often soon, to keep track of my recipes and so on. But I won't be going anywhere! I adore this site and feel so motivated being here
But that blog is a lovely place to keep photos of my food and have it all looking lush. Plus, if people can find it it'll help them in the long run. If anyone finds any errors in my recipe syns wise, PLEASE PLEASE tell me lol! I think I've been cautious enough, I even counted the apple as syns because it was going in the oven!
Good day today, am now scoffing a whole half of the cake with hubby, and we keep licking the quark off our chins lol - can't eat this thing fast enough!

It was gorgeous! I can't believe hubby and I ate the whole thing lol. Will have to get baking again today!
I really would recommend just buying the one pack of scan bran, and give it a go. It's relatively cheap anyhow, so if you end up not being fussed, at least you tried it

Sitting at my desk at work, thinking about food and munching some fruit. I bought another 'healthy recipes' magazine - I intend to start ripping some of these recipes apart and making them suitable for Slimming World. I'll share the results on my blog I should probably be focusing on work, but erm.. I don't tend to do that too much. I really need to make another dent in my intray though.. it's verging on the ridiculous now.
Went swimming first thing this morning, though didn't swim for very long, maybe quarter of an hour. It helped to loosen me up and the shower afterwards is always a highlight for me. Just wakes me up and helps me feel human!

Hey hun, just catching up - you're still doing fab!! I love all your baking and experimenting
Thanks kirsty
I've not been checking up on everyone else as much as I should have these past few days.. my bad! Will have to pop around today and see how everyone's getting on!I'm loving the experiments of late. I'm really hoping to get a good collection of recipes going - I started making a list of the recipes I liked when I first started, but never actually wrote down the changes I made to them, so I've now forgotten :sigh:
But I'll put a change to that! The carrot muffins last night were lush too - actually had mincemeat for those!

Chomping down on me lunch now. Note to self: this hotpot does NOT microwave well! Could be worse though, at least it's hot, and filling! Bought a side dish from Tescos, with lots of green veggies. It has a little knob of minted butter with it, which is gorgeous, but I'm not certain how to syn it. There's not actually that much butter, so I'll call it 2 syns to be on the safe side.
Managed to get a bit of work done this morning. Gonna have a little play on the arcade now and see if I can't get another chunk out of this way after lunch!
