I split up my healthy extras a lot over the day. Ate more than usual today but I worked off 1101 calories so that & star week = extra hungry!

ur doing really well hun keep going xxx

Sorry I haven't updated in a few days, I have been feeling so down 2 star weeks in two weeks has really knocked me down. Haven't gone walking since Sunday morning but I have been doing the 30 day shred which I completed today, and cycling a few miles every day too. Probably won't go walking tomorrow as I have weigh in early but will get back into it Thursday

Anyways I have kept a log of what I ate on my phone so I will go ahead and post my entries for the past couple of days...

How weird that my last few days have all been 13 syns! Using my syns on a lot of crisps lately but I really crave them on star week and I wouldn't have much to use my syns on otherwise, so I don't mind. Also eating quite a lot of lazy food that takes no effort to cook but thats mostly because star week knocks me back and completely de-motivates me, the last thing I want to do is spend ages preparing food, bed and a hot water bottle is much more appealing :P Hoping to start cooking more next week...definitely planning a stir fry and maybe fanta chicken (with quorn instead of chicken!)? Haven't tried that yet but it looks nice

Been texting my consultant tonight, she is so supportive i'm really glad I joined her group shes really put me at ease about my crazy star weeks (two in two weeks!) and made me even more proud of my weight loss. Weigh in is tomorrow morning..really hoping i'll lose 1.5lbs to get my first stone award! Oh and lastly, if you are a crisp addict like me - weight watchers crinkle crisps are SO nice! Theres not many in the bag but the taste is so strong that it satisfies me, I go tthe sour cream and chive....they are definitely nicer than velvet crunch!

I have kind of lost my appetite lately I was away most of today so I didn't have a chance to cook anything anyways.

Okay just had an Alpen light bar (3 syns) half a WW wholemeal pitta (2.5 syns) and 1-3/4 laughing cow cheese triangles (heA) so total syns for today is actually 14

Oh and I have to get two fillings on my back teeth at the dentist tomorrow if anyone has any suggestions of what food to eat after I would appreciate it. I don't want to make soup again. My appointment isn't until 12 so I'll try have a big breakfast (maybe heB roll/sausage and fruit) which will fill me until late afternoon but I have no idea what I can eat for lunch and dinner that won't require much chewing lol

Didnt eat much all day due to being sore after dentist (when the numbing injections wore off I was in a lot of pain!!) but managed to eat a bit this evening thankfully.
