Lovely family day today!! We went to the mall and looked around the shops (got a few good deals from boots 70% off gifts!) Then we treated Reece to some fun at the big softplay! I must've burnt some calories as he wanted me to run around with him on the bouncy castle and through the mazes! Honestly, I was exhausted! And was worried I'd get stuck a few times...
Then food shop (Riley's first time in the trolley!) and toy shop to spend the last of Reece's birthday money.
In all the fun I kinda skipped lunch- the boys had nibbles but I didn't want to waste syns and I wasn't really hungry. Therefore my food diary will look a little scarce and I still went half a syn over
Today's food (20/01/17)
B- Boots nougat bar (4syns)
L- Nothing.
D- 2 x WM toast (hexb+2syns) topped with 2 x laughing cow triangles (2.5syns) and Sainsbury ravioli (1.5syns). BIG salad (cucumber, tomato, beetroot, radish, peppers).
Snacks- None.
Drinks- Starbucks latte (hexa+3 for syrup). Fizzy water. Options hot chocolate (2syns+0.5syn for milk).
Syn total- 15.5syns.

Are you on the Pinch of Nom facebook page Lisa? It's all about Fibre 1 bars and porky light sausages on there! people are trying desperately to find them- the brownies do look good to be fair!
I wouldn't worry too much about half a syn over- your diary is looking good and plenty of speed
When is WI? X

I recently found the Pinch of Nom site and FB page- they have some delicious looking recipes!
I'm not willing to pay the price of porky lights!! I'd rather use a few syns!! Only want the fibre one bars because they are on offer!! Again not willing to pay the full price! Slimming foods are ridiculously expensive.
Had my lovely roast dinner for lunch- it was AMAZING!! Loads of veg (broccoli, green beans, red cabbage and carrots) but of course it had butter on. I did eat the chicken skin, gravy made with juices, giant yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes though... And I caved and ordered a side of cauliflower cheese (it was soooo worth it!). A synful lunch but I drank diet coke and declined the dessert menu (mainly because I was stuffed!)
Today's food (22/01/17)
B- Nothing.
L- Sunday roast as above (millions of syns!)
D- Mango, kiwi and a special k bar (hexb)
Snacks- None.
Drinks- Diet coke. Coke zero. Tea (0.5syn for milk) Costa skinny latte (hexa for milk + 3syns for syrup).
Syn total - 3.5 + synful lunch.
Weigh in tomorrow!!

Wow your Sunday lunch sounds epic! I can never resist cauliflower cheese either!
Hope your WI goes well- I'm still psyching myself up for it..
Yes totally agree re slimming foods- since I've switched to Lidl my fruit and veg bill isn't too bad but the more specialist stuff isn't available e.g. quark and the branded bars, but I find I can get most of the staples at least (and they do 5% fat mince which is good).
Pinch of Nom is fab for inspiration though- they make some seriously yummy stuff. I've recently found two chubby cubs as well- the site is a bit blue but it's funny! X

Definitely Laura! Kiddies make me laugh
I've had a headache all day today- I think part of it is sugar withdrawl (I had it when I was last on SW too) but I'm also not sleeping well at the moment. Unfortunately lack of sleep is a major trigger for my anxiety attacks but hopefully being able to control my food will help me not feel like I'm completely lost...
Today's food (24/01/17)
B- Half a banana.
L- Mugshot. Special k bar (hexb) Kiwi. Pear. Apple. Pepper. WW fromage frais (0.5syn)
Then I scoffed a SW quiche- spray oil (0.5syn), courgette, onions, tomatoes, eggs and cottage cheese topped with low fat cheddar (hexa).
D- Youngs salmon crumble (7.5syns) Peas and carrots.
Snacks- Carrot. Cucumber.
Drinks- Infused water (mint and lime). Tea (1.5syns for milk). Coke zero.
Syn total- 10syns
