[foodlover]

OMG have had 2 SW OMG's today!!!! First one my own fault for checking after I ate it that my "thought was a good EE option" EAT pulled pork pot was a whopping 18 syns....

Second - just saw on the forums that the onken fat free nat yogurt is actually syned at around 5 a go...every time I've had porridge for breakfast since starting I've used onken!

Well at least I know now and have just bought Muller light for tomorrow think I better have a good read through some of the threads :-( could have lost a bit more in the last two weeks maybe :cry:cry

 

[foodlover]

Ok over my OMG's today's food:

Wednesday - EE day

B: Special K milk choc chewy bar HXB - yummy with coffee with skimmed milk then an apple and bottle of water

L: the EAT pot - it was nice but not worth 18 syns! Had wild rice, the pork and little coleslaw
Coke Zero

Did an hour in the gym burnt off 2000 calories so hopefully has helped.

D: chicken breasts cooked with lean bacon, carrots, celery, onion, tinned cherry tomatoes, garlic, stock and fresh basil with split runner beans. Lots and lots of water

Hopefully the gym, all those Superfree and lots of water will flush out lunch

HXB: Special K bar

Looks like you're doing really well, well done! Shame about the EAT pork lunch, it's annoying having to use syns on things that just aren't worth it isn't it.

Oh btw, in regards to your previous post, kidney beans in chilli sauce are still indeed free x

 

[MariaS]

Ok...so well off plan all weekend, started Friday night - party with wine led to chip shop, sat all day drinking and eating..Sunday hungover eating...anyway.

Plan for tomorrow, with no syns to try and combat the weekend

Monday 19th - green day

L: made a pasta salad of pasta, green beans, fresh basil, lemon juice, white wine vinegar and black pepper with mixed leaves

Hour of body pump and lots of water

D: SW carbonara - wholemeal spaghetti, egg yolks, spring onion, garlic, 28g Parmesan cheese (HXB) and 85g bacon (HXB)

Stuck to my no syns plan for the day and had;

HXA: milk in coffees
HXB: Parmesan cheese
HXB: Bacon

Tomorrow is weigh day and even though I know I might have gained or STS I know I am back on it, I think I'm going to have to do Monday - Thursday syn free to allow for more at the weekend as have too many events at the moment. At least that way I can have saved a good 40 syns up.

 

[foodlover]

So weigh in today and after the weekend I am ashamed to say its 2lbs on taking me back to 10.9 :-( It's my own fault though, I said at the start I had a lot going on so it would be slow. Time to get it back in the right direction.

B: raspberries, strawberries and 30g all bran golden crunch (HXB) little skimmed milk

S: apple and grapes

Coffee

D: tuna steak, red onion, tomatoes, garlic, chilli, broccoli, green beans, noodles and little sweet chilli sauce
