2 x wm Nomble toasted (HeB) with 46g Low Low Cheese (HeA) and some baked beans

Awful day today as I was out of the office all day and only got home at 9pm tonight...

Breakfast
Nothing

Lunch
2 x red peppers
1 x cucumber
1 x baked potato with some cheese (HeA)

Dinner
Nothing

Total Syns for the day - I'll just put this as the full 15 because I got the baked potato from a restaurant so goodness knows how they cooked it, but I tried to play it safe by only eating the flesh and throwing the skin out.
 
Wednesday 23rd February 2011

Ok, so back to normality today. Had my weigh in tonight and surprisingly, despite my erratic eating over the last week, I managed to lose 1.5 lbs and get my 1 stone award.

Breakfast
2 slices of wm Nimble bread toasted (HeB) spread with 2 x Laughing Cow Light Triangles (3 syns in total)

Lunch
Speed Soup

Dinner
Chilli Con Carne made with Quorn mince, peppers, onions, grated celery, Cayenne Chili Pepper, Paprika, and tinned tomatoes - served with a little bit of pasta and 42g Low Low cheese sprinkled on top (HeA)

Snacks
Birthday cake had been brought into work, it was a sponge cake with cream and jam in the middle and covered with icing. I had a tiny little slice of this, no idea how many syns, so I'll make a generous guess at 10 syns.

Total Syns for the day: 13
 
Congrats on your award!!! Well on your way and you have to admit it feels gooood!! I was looking at your diary for inspiration and see you synned pasatta? 1 syn? I thought it was free? Dunno where my wee book is :(
 
Thanks Roisin :D Yeah I thought the passata was free, but I happened to look on the back at the ingredients one night and noticed it had olive oil in it - so I double checked for that particular type of passata (it was from asda) and it had syns in it :(

Bit of a samey food diary today as I had my Chili Con Carne left over so didn't want it getting wasted.

I know that I do Extra Easy, but looking at it, today and yesterday were more like Green days, which is a bit confusing, because I then did not have 'enough' healthy extras, so does this mean I have to syn the two slices of wm Nimble bread I had???
