Slim4ever the SW Way

Wednesday - weigh day

Ok so normally I go to the gym after work (about 5:30pm) and weigh myself there...tonight like many other weeks I'm in London and heading straight out so can't :-( rather than worry or have to go on a different day I have decided to switch to my home scales at approx 7:15 once I'm up, dressed and had a drink.

Seen a lot of people's weighing ritual and that will be mine - full glass of orange/water and dressed in work clothes.

I know that this week may be better than it truly is switching from evening to morning but from next week it will be the same.

So today's weigh in results....9.13 a 2lb loss :)

More importantly today's food;

B - fresh pineapple chunks
Big glass of squash
Fibre plus bar and coffee HXA

I MUST mix up my breakfast been too many early starts and therefore fibre plus bars for brekkie. Altho tomorrow I have to leave at 5:30am :-(

Well done!!!! :D
 
Thursday - Green

What a long...bad....day!!!!

Had to leave at 5:30am this morning to go to an all day training course miles away :-(

Forced a couple of bits on pineapple down at 5:15am

Drove about hour and a half and stopped for a coffee HXA and couldn't resist a macdonalds hash brown...could have been worse - 4.5 syns

Bottle of water, coffee and fibre plus bar HXB

Lunch was shop bought sandwiches :-( going by the eating out section of the book 'normal' fat sandwhich is about 27 syns!!!! but was wholemeal so one slice is HXB2 so actually 21 syns

Feeling very ripped off by the syns of the sandwich...and it took me 3 hours to get home as M25 was a nightmare :cry:

Going to try and bring it back to my Green day with dinner
D - Rice, kidney beans in chili sauce, little grated cheese with big salad

Day: Green
HXB: Fibre Plus bar 1 x wholemeal slice
HXA: Milk and little grated cheese
Syns: 25.5 :cry::cry::cry:
 
Sorry to hear about your rubbish day. Least is a long weekend!! And looks like you didn't have much choice regarding what you could eat so don't beat yourself up! Am sure you'll make up for it else where!
 
Following yesterday's unavoidable syns I shall be having 0 or close to it today.
