[Kgem]

Plan for tomorrow
Day 24
B- overnight oats (3/4 hexb) coffee (1 syn)
L- Chinese seafood with mushrooms and bamboo shoots, rice

S- ryvita (1/4 hexb), Philly (1/3 hexa), babybel (2/3 hexa), fruit, rice pud

 

[Kgem]

Forgot to do oats last night so got a breakfast pot from pret with poached egg, beans and mushrooms. Not sure how it was all cooked so let's say 3 syns. And my Chinese at lunch will be 4.5 syns. 10.5 total which I hope to stick to!

 

[Kgem]

Unbelievable, I managed to pick up the wrong bit of Tupperware this morning so I didn't have my Chinese for lunch. Couldn't face another jacket. Had to hunt round the supermarkets and ended up with coop salad with potato and salmon. Don't know whether to count any syns, can't see that there would be any. Anyway it hardly touched the sides but at least I had the rice pudding brought in the wrong Tupperware as an afternoon snack!

 

[Kgem]

I'm celebrating because I've now been offered my first choice job! So in total: breakfast 3 syns, lunch say 2, dinner 1.5 (just had 3 sausages), coffee 2, margarine 1 (had wholemeal bread as my hexb instead of ryvita), 2 southern comfort 6. Total 15.5

 

[Kgem]

Damn, plus the mouthful of leftover Chinese starter I stole off oh's plate - 4 syns? Not looking so good now.

 

[Kgem]

Not having that second southern comfort - so 16.5 syns total.
Plan for tomorrow:
B- overnight oats 2/3 hexb (ready and waiting in the fridge!)
L- leftover Chinese (4.5 syns), rice. Won't leave it at home this time!
D- probably egg bacon and chips (1 syn) as I need to use up the bacon
S- ryvita 1/3 hexb, Philly, fruit, rice pud

 

[Kgem]

Well done you. A loss is a loss right ? You just need to drop a few of those extra syns next week and you are going to see an even better loss on those scales

 

[Kgem]

Thanks, actually weighed myself this morning and an extra pound was gone. Better than nothing! I was really good yesterday but to the point that I was hungry when I was trying to get to sleep...

 

[xEmmax@]

That happened to me last night at about 10:30 ! I was that hungry I actually felt sick. No way I was going to bed like that so I had a banana. It did the trick thankfully

 

[Kgem]

I was so tempted to get out of bed and have a banana but it was cold and late!

 

[xEmmax@]

Yeah it's been freezing hasn't it lol

 

[Kgem]

Couldn't face it!

Total 6 syns

Hi Kgem, I've just read through your diary, I can empathise with some of your challenges. Travel, meetings, colleagues and friends leaving drinks, falling off the SW wagon, dusting down and climbing back on. All very familiar.
You've done really well with your diary which gives you some accountability to yourself. Work socials are a minefield, I love a pint but often hold myself to account and have G&T for 2syns. It doesn't always work....keep the faith, you've now got a couple of us keeping an eye on you !
