Thanks ladies! I'm just sitting down now and planning the weeks meals.
I've looked at the menu for Saturday too - we usually go to The Slug and Lettuce, so I'm guessing we'll be going there again for lunch. I've decided that I'll have a Red day on Saturday and will have a nice butty for breakfast - bacon, Quorn sausage, mushrooms, onion and cheese. And then when we get there at about 1pm and go for lunch, I've decided I'll have their chicken and pepper skewers. It's char-grilled chicken breast with mixed peppers and red onion marinated with lemon and olive oil. Served with their house salad which is seasonal mixed leaves, plum tomatoes, cucumber, mixed peppers, chilli-spiced coleslaw (no mayo), spring onion, edamame beans, pomegranate pearls, coriander and a low calorie French-style dressing. It's only 416 calories and I'm guessing that the only Syns will be for the olive oil used and the edamame beans (Red day). Oh and maybe the French dressing! I had the salad before but with cajun chicken, but they've taken that off the menu now. So this looks like the most SW friendly thing for me. I think the Syns will be pretty minimal, and then the rest can go to cover whatever I have to drink. I am going to try and be sensible though and make smart choices - I'm going to stick to soft drinks (diet coke) until the night time, and when I do finally start drinking I'm hoping to stick to vodka diet coke. I may allow myself the odd cocktail / bottle of Rekordelig. But not too many!
I know it's still a few days away yet but I do like to have a plan in place. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail! xx
