1 x HEa
2 x HEb
2.5 syns.

I'm going to try and plan all my meals as I find this really keeps me on track and stops me picking. I'm not too sure what to have for lunch, I have some cottage cheese which needs using up and some crab sticks, so I may make a salad with them, going to keep my HEb for some wholemeal pasta to go with my dinner which shall be extra lean mince bolognaise I think. Failing that I might have a yummy crab stick sarnie for lunch and get off my butt and go and buy some butternut squash to mash to go with my mince, we shall see.

[edit] so I used all my HEb allowances so no pasta/rice for me tonight, oh well, it's all about the mince. Yay.
I also did 26 minutes of Wii Fit today to aid some weight loss, go me.

Then it went a little bit downhill and I had 4 vodkas and a bottle of cherry lambrini but I figured as I hadn't used many syns during the week that this wouldn't be so bad and I didn't eat anything bad after which is what usually happens. If anyone knows the syns in a bottle of cherry lambrini please let me know

It was my first day back at work today as well after 2 glorious weeks off, even though work can be a chore sometimes I quite enjoy being busy as it stops me from picking all day if I'm bored, and I've now started walking to and from work, 30 minutes each way and I live at the top of a biiiiiiig hill so it's all good to aid the weight loss.

Since I've done a lot of red days, will be a week now I'm going to try a green day tomorrow, I've been more organised this week & I've actually planned a week of dinners so I know what I'm going to come home and cook. I have a three bean salad for lunch tomorrow and the 1/2 can of beans I've got left over will go in a quorn mince type chilli for tea. Mmmm, hurry up dinner time hehe xx
