Thread: Sarah83's Tasty Food Diary

Glad you are back on plan today Think it's all about planning and trying to stick to it. If you don't have what you make or plan, then try to grab for something free/superfree as otherwise you will be tempted to go for a synful day! Good luck!

Thanks Meli, my problem is I'm an emotional eater with 0 willpower so if I'm too tired, stressed, bored, upset etc I'll decide I'm 'allowed' a treat.

I will get over it eventually just need to keep these blow outs for special occasions rather than a random Monday night!!

Oh no apparently my naughtiness this week did account for something - I stayed the same.

Really need to get my head into gear now. I'm away for the weekend visiting my dad and he'll do all he can food-wise bless him, but it's the wine I'm going to have to stay away from...

I have a weekend of temptation ahead of me.
Visiting my Dad on the Isle of Wight and I've told him I'm dieting so he'll try and be good food-wise but he does like to show off so I'm not sure it'll be as good as it needs to be!
Also there will be lots of wine... and I've managed to forget my trusty pad I write all my syns in and my SW book - Aagghhh

And to beat all that I won't be able to come back on here until Sunday night.

Wish me luck!!
xx

Good luck and have a nice time away.

Thanks Queenie, I'm really looking forward to it!
Just hope the weather holds out - I haven't even packed any proper shoes only flip flops and don't have a jacket
I'm counting on sunshine

Well I had a lovely weekend - and travel to and from was full of festival goers!!

Don't think I did too badly foodwise - all meals were pretty SF. Did drink quite a lot of wine though!

Got a first aid course for work Monday to Wednesday this week. Lunch is provided but no idea what it will be. I'll try it out on the first day but if it's all sandwiches and crisps then I'll be taking a salad in Tuesday and Wednesday...

Monday 14th June - Mix2Max

Well today was day 1 of my first aid course - really good but scary how much you need to know in case a situation does come up. Food not too bad - had choice of baguette, panini or sandwich. So saved my HexBs for wholemeal bread and managed to have a syn free lunch.
Trouble is I'm not used to having bread during the day, as it plays my IBS up. Thought I'd be ok as having a bit more active day but no... have been in agony and all bloated all afternoon so hopefully they'll do me a salad tomorrow

Here's what I've eaten today:

Breakfast (green): Tomato and red onion omelette with baked beans and sauteed mushrooms

Lunch (Red): Ham salad sandwich (2 x Hex Bs)

Dinner (Red): Chicken salad with SW coleslaw (1 syn) and cheese (HexA)

Snacks and syns: Grapes, milk in coffee (HexA), 2 finger kit kat (5.5syns)

Total syns: 6.5

Syns remaining for the week: 98.5 / 105

Tuesday 15th June - Mix2Max

Breakfast (Green): Beans on toast (HexB) and a little bit of cheese (half HexA)

Lunch (Red): Chicken salad

Dinner (Green): Pasta with leeks, carrot, garlic, passatta and haricot beans, with cheese (HexA)

Snacks/Syns: Milk in coffee (half HexA), pear, Fab lolly (4syns), Fibre plus bar (HexB)

Total syns: 4

Syns remaining: 94.5/105

Ah Mix to Match, I might give a go sometimes. I love Red and Green but prefer Green at lunch for work but def a red girl in the evenings as I love meat and veg meals.....i'm inspired

I just figured it would work best for me this week when I'm very restricted on what I'm eating on this course.
I've decided to try and go for Green or Red mainly now - looking at the other threads on here I think red definately gives the best losses so going to try and incorporate it more into my diet - it's so expensive though compared to green!!

I'll probably just have a couple of extra easy days maybe at the weekend... it's the third superfree I struggle with - esp at breakfast, but I'm going to try and have a third superfree whichever plan I'm following as I reckon that might be key...

Woo Hoo I passed my first aid course - I am now qualified to help save lives!!

Trouble is as the course has now ended I feel like it's Friday...

Wednesday 16th June: Red

Breakfast: Sauteed mushrooms and fried egg on toast (HexB)

Lunch: Chicken salad

Dinner: 'sausage' patties made from lean pork mince, onion and parsley, served with wedges (HexB), carrots and runner beans

Snacks & Syns: Pear, 3xBabybell lights (HexA), Milk in coffee (HexA), leftover chicken and brown sauce (1syn)
Bottle of dry white wine (24)

Total Syns: 25

Oops what happened??? I think a combination of yay I passed the course and the mental exhaustion of it led me to drink a bottle of wine the night before weigh in - AAAGH! Still I didn't have too many syns Monday & Tuesday so not beating myself up over it...

Syns remaining for the week: 69.5 / 105

Well done sweetie....can officially save lifes now
