Hi again

I've been reading bits and pieces of your diary... Congratulations on how well you are doing ! You're an inspiration, and so positive
Do you have only 5 syns on week days, and 15 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday ? This sounds like a good idea to me, I'm thinking of giving it a try x x

Hi hun, thanks for stopping by!

Yeah, I have got myself into a little routine. I get weighed on a Tuesday so my fresh week of Syns begins on a Wednesday. I stick to 5 Syns Wednesday, Thursday and Monday. On a Friday, Saturday and Sunday I allow myself up to 15, as I know I'll need more on a weekend. And then as a post weigh-in "treat" on a Tuesday I usually have a curry and a bar of chocolate all within my leftover Syns for the week. The last few weeks that's taken me to around the 75-80 mark. I'm really happy with how it's going and I've never once yet felt deprived xx

Morning diary, Happy Friday woop!! arty0049:

It's a wet and miserable day today. Sounds about right really! It's been sunny all week and now it's gotten to the weekend the weather is naff again. Nevermind, don't have any plans for the weekend so can just have a nice cosy one in the house

Had a message from my Mam and Dad to say they are going on a glass bottom boat today, have booked a lagoon trip for Monday and a catamaran trip on Wednesday. It just sounds fantastic! I wish I was there instead of being stuck in this awful big towerblock they call work while the rain lashes down against the windows. Oh the joys :giggle:

Anyway, this is how today is looking so far...

I think I need to try these Danio yoghurts!? Must be worth the syns to actually have a yoghurt with syns!! xx

Honestly, they are amazing!! I don't even particularly like yogurt, but these are something else! Especially the passionfruit ones. Have tried the cherry ones too, which are also 1.5 Syns, and they were quite nice! The others are quite a bit higher though - 2.5 and 3 Syns, which for me is too many to use on a yogurt!! Don't mind 1.5 though xx

My mind is made up ladies! Never seen people rave about a yoghurt before so they must be special! Gonna pop into the shops on the way home from work! x

 

[Princess_Stevie]

Had a bit of a naughty night last night! Well I say naughty, I am still well within my Syns for the week it's just the first time I've gone slightly off plan in the last few weeks. I went to the cinema last night and ended up having a few pic'n'mix, maybe 10 sweets? And then when I got home I had a couple of vodkas, maybe 2 or 3. After not having a drink for 5 weeks I feel a bit rough this morning! But straight back on plan

Oooh and after a cheeky weigh in this morning I have seen the 11's!! I'm even more determined to get back to the plan now because I'm determined to see those 11's again on Tuesday night. Eek!

The Princess Diaries ♥ - Round Two!!

Hey Stevie, I had a sneaky weigh this morning and I saw the 14's! Which is my first drop down since starting SW. Feels amazing got a long way to go but I'm on track! must be great to see 11's! Have a great weekend x

 

[Princess_Stevie]

Morning diary. Had another slightly naughty day yesterday - still within my weekly Syns though! Ended up having almost a bottle of wine and sharing a bag of Metcalfes popcorn whilst watching the X Factor. I didn't have a great deal to eat yesterday though so I think calories wise it's probably balanced itself out. Either way I was 11st 12.5lb on my scales this morning, so still hopeful for a good loss on Tuesday!

Here's today's food...

Re: The Princess Diaries ♥ - Round Two!!

Tea tonight. Baked bean lasagne and ginger fruit pots from the new magazine

Wasn't too keen on the fruit pot, ginger was too strong for me. But then I'm not the biggest fan of ginger in the first place. But hey, I tried it!

Lasagna looks lovely. Will have to check out the recipe!

Fruit pot looked nice. Unfortunately all the deserts I like are spongey and covered in chocolate! Which explains why I'm needing to lose weight.

My auntie raves about the danio yogurts so I will be given then a try too.

Morning diary, Happy Monday! Not off to a very good start this morning. Popped into Tesco for my fruit for breakfast and ended up picking up two bottles of full fat Fanta, rather than Zero!! Must have still been half asleep. Didn't notice until I'd almost drank one, so that's 7 Syns wasted already!!

Haven't really stuck to my little Syns regime this week, and have had quite a few more Syns than in the last 3 weeks, but I'm totally fine with that. I'm still within my weekly allowance of 105 so I have no reason to panic. Also got on the scales this morning and was happy to still see the 11's, so I can't have been that bad!! Hoping they're still there tomorrow

Anyway, this is my food for today...

Morning lovely, that's so annoying about the Fanta! I hate it when things like that happen!

Great news about the 11s - fingers crossed for you at WI tomorrow. I'm sure you'll get a good result xx

 

[Skulldilocks]

Well done Stevie, sure tomorrow will be good, you've been in control without missing out! x

Argh its so annoying isn't it! I've done his before with the Volvic flavoured water, picked up the bottles which aren't sugar free and finished the bottle before I've realised! Loving your diary, gives me a lot of inspiration! x

 

[Princess_Stevie]

Very annoying!! My own fault though for not double checking. Anyway have drank the bottle I had started and Synned it. Will take the other bottle home and my brother can have it. Not to worry! xx
