The battle of the Bubble

[bubble77]

Hello my min friends how are you all?

Ive had a great day off, enjoyed a shopping trip where I wasn't going to spend much, and promised hubby I would buy myself something not the kids... 6 hrs later I return with clothes for the LOs and knee length boots for me! Amazingly I didnt need the wide calf and they were in a clarks outlet reduced from 89.99 to 29.99! Bargain..

Anyway Ive survived my 1st 5 shreds! continueing on level 1 next week for 5 more the plan is to do 10 days on each level. fingers crossed I can keep it up. Ive already noticed the difference in my endurance to the tasks.

Today I did 21897 steps thats 9.47 miles.

My food:

2 hardboiled eggs in 60g wholemeal roll HEXB with laughing cow extra light triangle 1 syn, pinapple and kiwi pieces

banana, apple, 0% peach activia

pasta with carrots broccolli onion mushrooms sweetcorn bacon and passatta

alpen light 3 Syns

jacket potato with 30g grated cheddar HEXA and baked beans mixed with onions, mushrooms, chilli, spinach, bacon and scwarz bbq powder

Oh yeah - ate a slice of edam cheese making hubbys sandwiches for work this worked out at 4 syns, what a waste but couldnt help myself!

Dashes of milk for teas 2 syns, water, vimto and a freddo 5 syns

Im now upstairs with the house alarm on so that I won't go down picking anymore. Hubby at work, kids in bed and all quiet... hear that?.... silence... just me and my mins...

Chocolate. Always chocolate.

Or wine.

I think the principle is to have 2/3 super free and 1/3 free instead of 1/3 SF with every meal. Also only snacking on SF between meals plus 2 hex per day.

I could be wrong though - not entirely sure!!

Yes that's it - you can have 1 or 2 HEx-A (not sure why they put it like that?) and 2 HEx-Bs as well.

You also have 5-15 syns too - but anything you syn has to be at the higher syn value as on Red and Green days - so the example they give is a thick pork sausage is 4.5 syns on Red & Extra Easy but 7 on Green so you have to count the sausage as 7.

Isn't it complicated?

Worth it if it works though

 

[bubble77]

See how you get on and if it works I may be giving it a go myself. be our ginea pig please?

 

[pippalata]

Please!!!

Yes gone for choc - but to make it go further - I've made SW Ferrero Rocher things - will let you know what they're like!! But not going to count the scraping of the bowl and desperate licking of the spoon!

ooooooh I might binge under the pressure LOL!! Yes happy to try it for a few days but not hopeful for SAt & Sun!

 

[upndown]

Please!!!

Okay - will give it a go and report back!

 

[pippalata]

We're indebted to you!

If you dont succeed the weekend dont worry 5 out of 7 days should make a difference anyway, surely?

 

[pippalata]

If you manage 5 days that will be a massive achievement!

 

[upndown]

Right - just made SW Ferrero Rocher - must have done something wrong - they're soggy! Not sure whether to be pleased or sad - eaten one and going to have one more - but don't really fancy any more!

 

[pippalata]

If say that's a bit of a result so you dont eat too many!

[bubble77]

Here's day 2 on Success Exp:

B'fast - as yesterday - 35g muesli - HE-B soaked overnight in low fat from frais + 2/3 bowl berries

No lunch - not a good idea but was busy & not hungry - v unusual for me!

Tea - left over spag bol - made with loads of veg - with small amount of pasta

Snack - banana, few grapes , few strawbs

Drinks - Tea - ss milk HE-A - water - diet drinks

Syns - shop bought pancake with choc chips 4 syns, 2 SW Ferrero Rocher 2 syns, spoonful Nutella 3 syns - TOTAL 9 syns

Will try again 2moro - but will have lunch, SW soup and other superfree food. I think I might have put too much water in the Ferrero Rocher things - so will add more Ryvita in the morning as it is now - I'd prefer the Nutella straight from the jar!
