B- yog, 3 walnuts halves (1/2HB), milk in tea (HA), teaspoon of honey (1syn)

T- not too sure yet, I fancy a stir fry with courgettes, carrots, noodles, onion, garlic, ginger, peppers

Hubby has bought some crabbies ginger beer (13syns) and cornetto enigma (8.5syns), so I've had one of each and will adjust the rest of the weekends syns to accomodate.

snacks: nectarine, pear, apple, yog, honey (1tsp, 1syn), walnuts (rest of HB)

Syns total=23.5
Exercise= 30mins walk

Saturday 21st August- hopefully extra easy

B-porridge (HB, HA), apple, cinnamon
D-salmon salad, yog
T-smoked mackerel (1.5syns), jacket potato, carrots, peas, sweetcorn, probably a tescos own magnum style choc ice thingy (9.5syns)
Snack -banana, yog, honey (1syn), 2 walnut halves (2syns)

Total syns= 14
Exercise= 25mins walk, 16 lengths swim, body balance class

Also I've now had, vff fromage frais, quark, strawberries, highlights hot choc (2syns), meringu nest (2.5syns)....so total syns 18.5syns.

Mmmm after weekend indulgences so far, I need to keep syns to 3syns for tomorrow.... need to get thinking !

Ok, so today I'm not reducing my syns to just 3..... I know myself far too well and if I do that I'm 10x more likely to think sod it and end up eating much much more! I've done a fair bit of exercise today so I think I should be ok (aiming for no more than 15syns)

Sunday 22nd August:
B- porridge (HA HB), apple
D- jacket, beans, salad, highlights hot choc (4syns), quark, vff fromage frais, strawberries, cornetto enigma (8.5syns)
T- fish pie and peas
snack- banana

Exercise: 1hour 30mins walk, 1 body balance class

I think not reducing your syns to 3 is the right thing to do. I have been thinking of reducing mine down today but then realised if i did that after yesterday i would go right off the rails.

So today may even have the full 15 (how wicked is that? )

But i have also done an 18 k bike ride and a 5 k run.

Wow - get you! I think you definitely have earnt those full 15 !!!! I cant wait to have another go at running.... following a knee problem, my physio has finally said that I can do some controlled running on a treadmill. I've not been on a treadmill in years as I've always run outside, but if its treadmill to start with then thats what it must be. You feeling over the sugar hangover now after your bike/run ?

Well I've messed up my extra easy day as I forgot I'd already had my HA choice for breakfast - ggrrrrrr. So on top of the 12.5 syns already mentioned, I also have 6syns for cheese in my fish pie, 5syns for aldi rice cakes, another ice cream 8.5syns and 3 walnut halves -

Did you weigh in? Are you back on track?

hope you are ok,

Teresa

Hi Teresa,
Thanks for your post, I'm getting there !! Hows it going with you ?

I weighed in and managed to lose a pound (which is quite a mean feat considering the amount of cornflakes in my tummy!). Yesterday was much better although still not fully on plan as we went out for food in the evening. Today, should be the day I am actually back on plan properly. Still really busy as its getting closer to month end, but I'm planning more which is good!

B- yog, walnuts (HB), milk in tea (HA)
D- punnet of strawberries, blackberries, apple yog, 3 mini baby bel lights (HA)
T- ryvita (HB), banana, cinnamon, small green and blacks bar (4 or 5 syns)

Have planned to eat tea in the car while waiting for hubby to finish work.

......so I can get to body balance by 18.00 pm !!

Yeah for your weight loss. You are on track so now we need lots of great days for another 1 pound off.

Is there anyway you can add some more food to your meal plan today as except for a yogurt it is all superfree food and healthy extras. Could you add any veg anywhere? A tub of cottage cheeseor a tin of tuna with your tea?

Just don't want you hungry and looking for cereal after body balance.

have a great day

Teresa

Ah you know me too well (with cereal after body balance), I will need something afterwards and I do have some cooked veggies in the fridge that I could have with cottage cheese, I guess that might be a good plan.

That would be great, plan plan plan! Enjoy your body balance. i have never done anything like that but have just come home from a dress rehearsal for my triatholon

400m swim
11.2 bike ride
5k run

Wow - I would love to try a tri !! Thats why I'm keen to get up and running again. How did it go and when is race day ? Hope it went well.

I didnt make it to body balance, its the first one I've not made it to. I've had a really stressful day and it was probably going to do me good to go but I really couldnt handle rushing around this evening.

The days plan was ok but my green and blacks was a bigger bar than the 4syns one.

B-yog, honey, walnuts (HB)
D-yog, strawberries, blackberries, apple
snacks- apple, 3 mini baby bel lights (HA), milk in tea (HA), banana
T- large veggie omlette with more cheese for my HB... very nice
snacks- green and blacks (9syns), cornetto enigma (8.5syns)

Exercise -none.

It could have been so much worse !!!

well tri training went surprisingly well. I am a rubbish nervous slow swimmer, an ok biker and a good but slow runner.

As i needed to test out my trisuit (a swimming costume with legs!!) I wanted to try all 3 events in my outfit but hubby quite cleverly had tidied away my bike lock (he claims it is in plain sight!) so I had to be creative.

I drove to the swimming pool then without getting changed or dried put on my socks and shoes and a running fleece and drove home, ran to garage unlocked garage and got bike out, rode 11.2 miles soaking wet then bike back in garage and whipped off top and felt very exposed running around derby in just my trisuit but everything worked and I managed all the distances in a not too embarassing time.

Until i was in my mid 30s i barely ever exercised but once i started running i have really never stopped since then and have alwasy fancied a tri so will do my first on in 2 and 1/2 weeks.

Sounds like you made some good food choices today even if your choc bar was bigger than you thought you did not use that as an excuse to go crazy. I keep saying i will treat myself to some mini bars but then always wimp out at the shop cos of the price. but you have prompted me to add it to my present wish list that I am developing for my hubby as he claims i am too hard to buy pressies for.

Hope you have a good thursday,

Teresa
