Thread: T's Food Diary Part Two

Well after a terrible few days (and i do mean terrible!) i thought it was time to draw a line under it, so i thought i would start a new food diary and get off my next stone. I have lost 1 already but i think when i get on the scales this Saturday it maybe a different story. If i can lose the other 1 stone by Christmas Day i will be over the moon.
So here we go again, if you see anything that is not right please let me know, in the past i have not been too strict but as i going for it this time any help or advise will be appreciated.
Minimins helps so much to lose weight and i feel keeping a food diary to be invaluable. Also reading others diaries always assists in giving you ideas and keeping your diary varied.

Wednesday - Green Day
I dont normally do Green days but found a wonderful recipe for Chickpea Dhal Loaf that i really wanted to try so thought lets give green a go for the day.

Breakfast - 2 slices of bread from a 400g loaf made into soliders and 2 soft boiled eggs. Cup of tea - splash of milk = 1 syn

Lunch - Cold Chickpea Dhal Loaf, with Lettuce, Tomatoes and Red Onion.

Tea - Not sure yet either Cheese, Spinach and Bacon Omellette or Free Mushroom and Ham Pizza made with Tesco Value Mash Potato Mix.

Syns - Not sure yet.
This is what i plan for the day but i will confirm later what i have actually eaten, i find it easier to plan and then change my mind if necessary.

Hi Theresa. Good idea to keep a diary of highs lows and food as well, nip into others too and that'll give you ideas, look on the recipe section, you can never get bored. I've got one on here, feel free to nip in if you like. Also there is a brill support group as well, "From here to Eternally Slim". Brilliant bunch of lovelies all offering support, guidance and tips.. If you fancy looking in, please do xx

Well yesterday did go off plan in the end as England won the cider flowed and then attended a barbi where i had burger and hotdog. It is so annoying when all your good intentions go out the window. Oh well today is a new day with no football so should be easier to stick to plan.

Hi there lou i followed the 1/2 syn roulade recipe however for the quark filling i added an Options Choc Fudge Brownie to the quark, 3 syns and chopped strawberries and raspberries.

If i am honest the Options White Choc one tastes better mixed with the quark and the whole thing is only 2 syns.

You should try it tastes quite good for something that is so low in syns.
