Thread: Here I go again!!

Hi all, I thought that I would start this food diary to keep me accountable. I have done SW before with some degree of success though life seemed to get in my way and my weight took a back seat. Now however, I feel uncomfortable and unhappy with my weight and feel that the time is right to tackle it. I can not go to group due to a number of factors so I am going it alone, I am hoping that this diary will keep me on track and I welcome any form of feedback. So it all begins tomorrow, in fact I am quite looking forward to it

Welcome and good luck on your journey Ruthie

Thanks folks, well I have started and feeling positive, long may it last

Today I had a lie on, its not often that the kids lie on but they did today it was nice to be all cosy in bed cause it is so cold today.
Due to the lie on breakfast was more of a brunch today

Breakfast : Bacon with fat removed, egg fried in fry light, beans, loads of mushrooms and tomatoes (they were sooo nice) and 1 slice of w/m (HE B) bread dipped in egg and fried in fry light.
due to the nature of such a large late breakfast I will have a snack this afternoon of Mullar light toffee with some melon and banana.
Dinner Beef casserole Lean steak pieces cooked in stock with onions, mushrooms, celery herbs and tinned tomatoes. served with loads of spouts and some rice and peas.
I am also aiming to try and get my two litres of water in today though I may find this difficult as I am so cold
HE A Milk in coffees, though I am not drinking nearly enough of coffee, I am wondering if I may be better syning my milk then having the full HEA in another form such as cheese?
HE B was my slice of W/M bread.

Syns I will update later as hubby is home, he works away so is only home one or two nights a week and its unusual for him to be home on a Saturday night so I may indulge in glass of wine with him
So the syns became 30!!! yep that's right instead of 1 glass of wine greedy guts here drank the bottle
so syns 30/105

Good luck with the water. It's an important part of any diet or life. I forget to drink water but when I do I feel great.

Hope the casserole was yum.

See I was thinking the same, I never have my whole HEXA on milk but I've seen people splitting it up like some on milk and some on cheese. I did that today with my Lasagne made it syn free!

Its definitely casserole season, big bowl of tender meat and comforting warm veg. I've been adding loads of beans/pulses to mine to give it extra umph.

First day looks great. I always split my HEXa between milk and cheese as I only have milk in my tea so never have enough throughout the day to count as my full HEX.

Good luck!

I didn't manage the water intake yesterday but today I am on track for my two litres for today, only a half a litre to go The casserole was lovely, I added more veg, I came across some carrots and swede that needed using up, it turned out lovely.

Thanks ladies, I will take this on board as there is no way I would use all my HE A is my coffees, I love cheese so its all good. On the days that I want more cheese I will just syn the milk.
