so got to admire your determination, only wish I can stick with it too

so got to admire your determination, only wish I can stick with it too

Thanks missus72, I would normally write this sort of stuff in my training schedule or diary , I keep it going because I'm determined and I feel so much better. I can tell you that it's not easy and I have temptation everyday, mates at rugby and work who love a social . I am vey sociable and usually go with the flow otherwise I would be fighting all the time. However, I do have my own goals to achieve and I have to work at them to make them happen. This diary helps to keep me on track with the support of others on the forum. Susyflo keeps a regular eye on me and its great when someone pops in. The consequences are, I would not feel good about myself if I went back up over 13.5 stone ( even though I carry it ok) that makes me at dis ease with myself and it has further consequences on my health and general well being that also affects others. It's the leverage I get on myself, it works for me. Take a look at suzyflo's diary too.

Weighed in this morning, 2 lb off, 13'1, chuffed.

Layered up ragu , white sauce and pasta sheets, topped with a hex a 30 gm of cheddar and some more Parmesan between 5 with leftovers . Maximum of 1 syn for EE surely. I had 2 lots hence feeling heavy, 2 syns buy worth it.

[suzyflo]

You're doing fab Quins.

I've just looked at the healthy extra's in the new 2013 book and weight watchers brown danish is still a hexb for 2 slices

 

[Quins]

Thanks suzyflo, I'm sticking with it, I have my moments going off plot but then get back on track. This diary does help. So is the brown bread same as the wholemeal? Am I being daft?


Green

B. tin of spaghetti , in a hurry

L. Portion of homemade lasagna from Saturday that was free on EE, free today as using the extra lean mince as a hex b, even though probably wasn't enough... Plus a salad. 2 syns for jalapeño sauce , just a squeeze.

2 mini toblerone , how many syns?

Banana, snacked on a couple of small baked potatoes

D. Bubble and squeak made with leftover veg and roast spuds that mrs now tells me were not cooked in fry lite! Will charge 5 syns . Another syn for a squidge of brown sauce.

Tried to use up another hex A and B, managed 3 ryvita whole grain cracker bread things with some home made Phili no fat cheese, couldn't eat any more.

Probably about 10 or 12 syns

Happy with that.

 

[suzyflo]

I imagine the w/m would be the same as the brown, just that it's listed as brown in the book, also the book says 2 slices of w/m bread from a 400g loaf is a hexb, therefore w/w whole meal would be a hexb as would any other w/m bread, this is how bread appears in new handbook - 60g of any w/m bread, 60g w/m roll, 2 slices w/m bread (small 400g loaf), 1 slice Allinson w/m batch bread (800g sliced loaf), 2slices hovis nimble malted whole grain bread, 2slices hovis w/m bread (400g loaf), 1 slice hovis w/m bread (800g thick sliced loaf), 2 slices warburtons w/m (400g medium loaf), 1 slice warburtons w/m rye bread 800g thick sliced loaf) also in there free branded foods book the w/w brown as mentioned earlier and 1x 50g w/w petit pain, I haven't looked at any other brands but there's probably loads - hope you follow all that and hope it helps.

The tiny toblerones are 1.5 syns each.

I agree that minimins is a big help and I need to make more effort to keep updating than I have been lately, I don't want to fall off track

Yesterday's breakfast sounds nice - do you have the mini toblerones left over from christmas or something?!

 

[Quins]

The mini toblerone was a gift from a visitor there's always sweets and biscuits around, I will deffo do that again, the choc was lovely. Your house purchase sounds fantastic, so exciting. Glad you opened that letter!

Might have to get some in, definitely worth using 1.5 syns on. I certainly was a good job about the letter! I expect there will be more of the same in the near future, there was a huge pile of post that I have got ready to 'return to sender' as the main letter box was sealed up they got posted into a kind of outhouse which has a bit of a leak after all the snow and rain - this resulted in them being all wet and soggy so I've dried them all on the radiator - I now have a lovely big pile of crispy letters to post! haha.

Oh and I almost forgot, well done on choosing gin and slimline at the pub, imagine what the synnage would have been if you'd opted to have pints of beer/lager!!
