I will be a Princess!
Evening all!

Well here I am yet again...third time of writing a food diary, but I've come to the realisation that I need the ritual of writing all my food down otherwise I have a tendency to ignore all the syns I put in my mouth! :eek:

I've been pretty rubbish over the last 18 months - I've put on about 2.5stone of the 5.5 stone I lost :( Seeing the weight creeping back on, and seeing how unhappy it's making me, I've decided enough is enough - time for a fresh start from tomorrow. I've reset my stats (which saddened me a bit as it was the only record of my achievement, but had to be done to make it feel like a new start) and now it's time for onwards and downwards! :D:D

I've always weighed on a Friday morning, so I'm going to stick to that...fingers crossed for any sort of loss tomorrow (after a bad week I think it's probably wishful thinking! ;))

Diary writing will start as of tomorrow, but I just wanted to get started tonight :)

Arrivederci! :D

Saturday 4th August (EE)

Morning all :)

Well what a rubbish morning - rain, rain and more rain here! Typical Welsh summer weather! Which means I'm not going to drag myself to the show dance at Llangadog this evening - can't be doing with traipsing round in the mud :( This means that I'll be drinking tonight instead of driving, but I'm going to try swapping my usual pints of lager for vodka and a diet mixer...maybe something like fanta zero as too much diet coke keeps me awake all night! So it's going to be a higher syn day than technically allowed, but hopefully far lower than it would be normally when drinking pints :)

Today's food diary is looking like this:

Breakfast:

1/4 galia melon
Doughnut peach

Lunch:

SW style scotch egg wrapped in bacon - 2 syns
Salad - mixed leaves, tomatoes, cucumber, beetroot, spring onions, pepper and grapes
2tbsp Asda yoghurt and mint dressing with extra mint added - 1 syn

Supper:

Pork chop
New potatoes
Green beans
1 tbsp ketchup - 1 syn

Snacks:

Satsuma



Alcohol syns: 28

Syns for today: 32

Syns remaining: 63

The weather is pants here too! Thunder and lightening and a flooded patio out the back :( vodka, lime and soda is good for a caffeine free drink, that's what I always have on the rare occasion I get to have a drink lol. I'm the same with diet coke, more than one and I'm awake all night
 
Sunday 05th August (EE)

Afternoon all! :) Well I'm very pleased with myself...managed to go out last night and stick to vodka and diet mixers, interspersed with diet coke. This is a big achievement for me as usually I drink pints of lager. Unfortunately lager racks up the syns far too quickly so it had to be done! Even though it ended up being a high syn day I'm still in control and have plenty of syns left for the remainder of the week :)

:eek: I've just realised that I didn't have my HexA and HexB yesterday - oops! :eek:

Today's food diary looks a bit like this:

Banana
Satsuma

Lunch:

2 yorkshire puddings - 6 syns

Supper:

Cheese and tomato sandwich - HexA + HexB + 2 syns

Snacks:

Morning all (just!) Well I'm pleased to announce that I lost 3lb this week! :bliss: I'm so happy! I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere :) This weekend I have a hen do to go to, so I think I'm going to have to flexi syn saturday, and then be a paragon of virtue for the rest of the week! Now I know it's unlikely that I'll lose anything, but I'd be happy with a STS or only a small gain - so I guess I'd better behave myself with my eating this week :)

I'm not sure what day it's going to be today - probably EE though I reckon.
