[Amelie24]

Breakfast: Activia light
Lunch: Piece of bread (HE-B) with smoked salmon (HE-B-2)
Free vegetable soup
Diet coke

Dessert: A mars ice cream if I need one! (6.5 syns)
Healthy extra A-2: a glass of skimmed milk

Green day

A banana and a glass of skimmed milk (HE-A2)
Dinner: 2x meat-free burgers (not sure of syns) with gravy, potatoes and veg

Making apple cake for father's day and potentially going to a cafe so this could get a bit out of control! fingers crossed I stick to a reasonable calorie intake!

(oops 840/1400 calories already even before dinner! and v few veg/fruit!)

 

[Amelie24]

Okay I wasn't that great yesterday- had about 1560 calories and too many syns (apple sponge, a scone, some wotsits!) but it was Father's day, I still hope I can lose this week but if not I'll try harder next week.

Green day today

Brunch: Banana & Cinammon Eggy bread (HE-B1) and a coffee
[made with 1 slice of wholemeal bread, 1 egg, candarel, cinammon and a banana]
(5.5 ww points)

25 min jalk (jog-walk!)

Snack: Tomato soup and 25g chocolate (6.5 syns?)

Dinner: Chicken (HE-B2) with potato wedges, ketchup (3?), peas, sweetcorn and salad

Syns: 9.5 so far
WW old points so far: 15.5
Calories so far: 930

I still have 1 or 2 healthy extras available so will probably have a glass of skimmed milk with a curly wurly or even a mars ice cream, this will exceed syns by 1 but I'll be within my calorie intake

Today will be another green day so 2x healthy extra A&B.

I think it might help if I start to do meal plans ahead of time. I am home from university at the moment and can't get in the kitchen to get breakfast because my Gran who has dementia is in there and in a bad mood! So I'm starting with two rocky road bars!

Okay so:

Breakfast: 2x Slimming world 'rocky road' cereal bars- (1 HE-B)

Lunch: Tuna & sweetcorn on 1 piece of wholemeal bread (2nd HE-B), a glass of orange juice, an apple and an orange

Snacks:
2 x coffee with candarel
A glass of skimmed milk (Healthy extra A),
2x rocky road bars (6 syns)

Dinner: Quorn spaghetti bolognese with 25g cheddar (HE-A2), lettuce with drop of balsamic vinegar

Dessert: strawberries, mars ice cream

That's the plan, I'll amend it as I go along!! xxx

Weighed in at 12'8 this morning and our scales weigh heavier than the ones at group- think maybe I had a lot of fruit weight from the day before when I weighed yesterday!

Yeah found your diary !!! I'm dying to try the hifi rocky road hope they have some at class tomorrow !!!

As a long time binger I find that the only way that I can control those urges is not to have the temptation in the house. I do keepa pack of Curlywurlies in the freezer but then I have to go out to the shed in the garden to get one as thats where that freezer lives, this miserable weather means Iput that trip off 'until it stops raining' usually by that time the urge has gone off ;D
With three grandchildren I have to keep a 'goodie box' in but I would feel soooo guilty if I stole their treats so that keeps me on the straight and narrow there.
Its difficult when you have such an unhealthy relationship with food I know, I speak from loooong experience, you can overcome it, but support from family, friends, here, really does make a difference.
