New to slimming world - my green and red diary. Help greatly appreciated!

[BlueCow]

ah thanks! will make sure i pick up some Ryvita this weekend so i can enjoy my muesli syn free come monday

 

[BlueCow]

ps - this probably sounds a bit stupid, but do i need to eat the Ryvitra with the muesli? Or can it be eaten any time? I'd assumed the former but just realised i don't actually have a clue!

No you can eat it anytime during the day

I wasn't too bad today, but I did slip up a bit this evening when I was eating out. I ended up doing extra easy today as I didn't know what to eat for lunch so I ended up having the left over quorn bolognese.

Breakfast: omlette with two quorn sausages.

Lunch: pasta with left over quorn bolognese and a bowl of salad

Dinner: warm chicken salad (I didn't eat the garlic bread!) And a small piece of birthday cake. Not going to even attempt to guess how many syns were in that!

Snacks: pineapple chunks, curly wurly (6 syns)

Today didn't go very well... not sure if i count it as any sort of day really...

Breakfast (this is the bed bit!): TWO pieces of WHITE toast with butter and jam in my pathetic defence i was at my Grans an she makes a big fuss if i don't eat a 'proper' breakfast

Lunch: Chicken tandoori salad with natural yoghurt and herb dressing. Not really sure how good/bad this was. I bought lunch in Asda today as I was working from 12 - 7. Work provides a free lunch but it is VERY unhealthy! (Don't want to say where i work as it's embarrassing!)

Dinner: Chicken (no fat or skin) with slimming world roast potatoes and salad

Snacks: a peach and i'm going to have a couple of Activia FF yoghurts when i get off here!

GREEN DAY (i think red has ceased to exist from my mind)

Breakfast: Two FF Activia yoghurts (one was pineapple - not good!)

Lunch: Pasta with tomato and vegetable sauce

Dinner: Mushroom curry with rice

Snacks: Two apples (!!), two clementines, hot chocolate made using HEa milk allowance

I find it harder to plan red days, but tend to cook curries and chilles which are great to portion up for lunches etc, add a jacket pot (heB) or rice and you have a great meal, bulk out the meats by adding carrots, BN squash and/or swede.

sorry to hijack thread but I saw this. I haven't been at class for a while so have no access to website, so my question is can we have rice on a red day now and if so how much.

Sorry back to normal service. Keep up the good work BC.

 

[Harrigoose]

Oops, sorry, my bad, you should syn the rice, Pasta is a heB tho!

 

[BlueCow]

I am doing a red day today how much pasta is a HEb?

 

[Harrigoose]

According to my book, 100g (wholemeal) cooked - 35g dry weight.

I've had a prawn and ham salad for lunch and some seafood sticks but now wondering whats for tea, i think Gammon or chicken curry might be on the books! Get a red day cookbook tomorrow

Good luck.

 

[BlueCow]

Thanks!
Must say I didn't really enjoy my red day, don't think i'll do another one for a while.

Breakfast: 2 Activia FF yoghurts

Lunch: Bacon salad (all fat removed)

Dinner: Pork stir fry

Snacks: An apple, an omelette (i was really hungry when i got home!) and a curly wurly (6 syns)

 

[Harrigoose]

I've had a red day too,

All bran(b), milk(a) - Breakfast
Ham, prawn salad - lunch
Apple, pear, fruit salad, crab sticks, biscuit (4.5) - snacks
Gammon, egg and salad - Dinner
Option drink (2)

It's been ok but i've wanted to snack and usually have better days when i make a cottage pie or curry as i fill these out with free veg. but don't tend to do these much.


Keep it up.

I normally feel really full on green days, so i think today was a bit of a shock - i need my carbs!!

 

[BlueCow]

Back to green today

Breakfast: 2 Activia FF yoghurts and 2 clementines

Lunch: 2 egg omelette

Dinner: Will be 2 Quorn sausages with SW chips

Snacks: An apple, will have a curly wurly (6 syns) later

 

[Harrigoose]

Another red day today, although i've had some plain pasta with my dinner, which i've syned, still feeling hungry though, but still have 2nd HeA and B to use. I need to get my head around EE, as i'm sure todays menu falls in that category with less syns. Need to master Red and Green first me thinks!

On a positive, i am 2lb lighter than last week.

 

[BlueCow]

Well done!
I've felt really dodgy this evening, not sure why though

 

[Harrigoose]

Hope you are feeling better today,

Back to green today, an array of carbs to choose from, yay

 

[Happy Holidays]

When I do a red day I replace potatoes with butternut squash. It's free & roasts just like a potatoe

 

[Harrigoose]

I'll give that one a try, i like to add it diced when cooking but rarely roast it.
