Thread: D's food diary with photographs. Mix of red, green and EE days! xo

April 22 (green day)

Breakfast: Two slices of WW wholemeal bread (heB) toasted with 2 laughing cow light cheese triangles (heA), banana
Lunch: n/a
Dinner: SW chips, mushy peas and a quorn chicken style fillet and some melted cheese (heA)
Snacks: 2 bags of velvet crunch (8 syns) and will be having some fruit (grapes, blueberries) later as a snack

Total syns: 8

Really want to try and cut back on velvet crunch, one bag a day is enough..just craving them lately!

My lovely mom made me a big batch of vegetable soup today! She used 1 1/2 teaspoons of butter in it which is about 3 syns but I have no idea how to go about working out the syns for each portion (as its a big pot and my mom and sister are having some too) so its kind of impossible. Won't bother adding it to my syns but I keep well under the "syn limit" anyways so it shouldn't be a problem

April 23 (red day)

Breakfast: small bowl of grapes
Dinner: 2 quorn sausages (2 syns), 2 slices of ww bread (heB), 1 tablespoon ketchup (1 syn)

Breakfast: Banana (at 6.30am before my walk) followed by proper breakfast around 9.30am of 1 slice of WW wholemeal bread (heB), 1 laughing cow light cheese triangle (heA), potato waffle (2 1/2 syns) few spoonfuls of beans
Dinner: syn free stir fry with chopped quorn chicken fillet. I also cooked and added 2 quorn dippers as it didn't have much chicken and I was out of fillets..only ate about 1/3 of the chicken but I dont know if it was the fillet or dippers so i'll count the full syns (1 syn)
Tea: Haven't had it yet but i'm going to have a bowl of my moms homemade vegetable soup later.
Snacks: 1 alpen light bar (heB), bag of velvet crunch (4 syns)

Thank you so much! I think it can get a little boring sometimes (especially when i cook proper dishes because I cook big portions and eat it over 2-3 days) but i'm trying my best x

Weigh in today - down 3.5lbs, woo hoo! I really think the red days and exercise helped me achieve such a big loss this week.

25/04/12 - red day
Breakfast: 2 slices ww wholemeal bread (heB) with 2 triangles of laughing cow light cheese (heA)...such a simple meal that looks boring but is SO tasty!
Dinner: quorn 1/4 pounder burger (1/2 syn) topped with cheese (heA) and a very generous helping of onion then melted in the oven....so tasty!
Tea: Last bowl of my moms homemade vegetable soup
Snacks: 1 alpen light bar (heB), velvet crunch (4 syns), ww cheesy nachos (4 syns), a small chip from my sisters plate at dinner time..they were some kind of M&S chips oven cooked and i don't know the exact value of one tiny chip, so i'll just count it as half a syn!

Total syns: 9

I didn't have much fruit today but the soup was full of vegetables so I don't mind probably better not to be eating loads of fruit every single day anyways

26/04/2012 - (green day)

Breakfast: Hifi peanut deluxe bar (heB). Just bought these at class this week and they are yummy! I love peanuts so I am glad I can have my little "fix" as a heB.
Dinner: 2 slices WW wholemeal bread (heB), reduced fat mozzarella cheese (heA), quorn quarter pounder burger (1/2 syn), onion, tablespoon ketchup (1 syn), SW chips
Tea: N/A didn't have any as i'm still full from my dinner! Had quite a big dinner today so I wouldn't be hungry and end up eating bad food. Wednesdays and Thursdays aren't great days for me because i'm usually low on fruit and veg, I go food shopping thursday evenings...
Snacks: velvet crunch (4 syns), ww cheese tortilla crisps (4 syns), blueberries

Total syns: 9.5

I don't really like the weight watchers crisps. I have a couple of bags left but once they're gone I won't be buying them again. My mom had the WW hula hoops in ready salted flavour and they tasted disgusting..like burnt ashes. Will stick to velvet crunch in the future!

Hoping to start back at my walking in the morning My blister is getting less painful and the swelling has gone down..think i'll tape some cotton wool to my toe and hope for the best lol. really enjoying walking in the mornings
