New year, new diary and old diet - trusty SW! Not sure why I ever stopped after losing a good 2 stone about 5 years ago since have tried all sorts and now back heavier than ever and want it gone for good.

Starting today 4th Jan before back to work tomorrow, have a meal out tonight but want to start today. Not sure on final target but starting with just seeing a 9st on the scale (currently showing an 11 :-(

Day 1: green

B: "magic" porridge pancakes - HXB, eggs, FF Nat yog, sweetner, lemon juice, frozen raspberries
Tea with dash of skimmed milk

L: left over butternut squash risotto which has some Parmesan in, so with the milk in tea is HXA

D: at Zizi's so will pick what appears to be healthiest pasta dish
 
Day 2: Green

B: oat so simple multi grain sachet - HXB with semi-skimmed milk - HXA
Coffee x 2 with milk
Grapes

L: homemade soup - mixed beans, lentils, vegetables, tinned tomatoes, stock
Apple

D: Sweet potato baked with spring onions and salad, balsamic vinegar

Don't think I had any Syns today but that can make up for the meal last night :)
 
Day 3: EE today...

B: Apple and grapes Coffee with splash of milk - 1 syn

L: more homemade bean and veg soup
Another coffee - 1 syn

D: SW spag carbonara, wholewheat pasta, spring onion, garlic, bacon, quark, egg yolks, Parmesan - HXA with mixed leaves and balsamic vinegar

No HXB today as ran out of cereal bars and not eating bread for January
And only 2 syns on milk :)

Day 4: Green

B: oat so simple multigrain porridge - HXB with semi skimmed milk and water
Coffee with milk - HXA

L: the last of the soup, beans veg

Soda with lime cordial and fresh lime - assuming cordial will be syns?

D: orzo recipe from one of the mags with asparagus, spinach, peas, broad beans, chilli and garlic with rocket salad, balsamic vinegar and little Parmesan cheese - HXA

So only syns is the lime cordial, had 1 HXB and both HXA's

Really enjoying healthy jan so far, am doing no alcohol for the month as well :)
 
Day 5: Red day

So hungry on red days!!!

B: Apple and a large coffee with skimmed milk - HXA

L: chicken, vegetables, salad, hummus - is this HXB?

D: SW chicken tika masala recipe, was lovely will use all time. Added a orange pepper and had steamed spinach with it to replace rice so syn free :)

So no syns today unless the hummus has any?
 
Day 6: EE

B: Apple and 2 coffees with splash of milk

L: left over orzo with asparagus, spinach, peas etc as above with rocket salad

D: salmon fish cakes from SW fake aways with sweet potato chips rocket salad and light mayonnaise - 4 syns? And lemon juice

No HXB today
HXA is milk - will have a mug of tea later to use more milk
Syns - Mayo

Nearly the end of week 1, think I'm all on plan
 
Don't think I've noticed hummus as a healthy extra before but could be wrong as it is not something I normally eat!
Salmon fishcakes sound nice! My mum has that book, may have to borrow it again. I've tried the pizza from it and it was good!

I only have old books and it was a HXB but if not I'll syn it :)
 
Day 7: Red

B: blueberries and a coffee with skimmed milk - HXA

L: scrambled eggs, red pepper and choritzo - 5 syns and 1 slice of wholemeal bread - HXB

D: chicken fajitas - chicken breast, cherry tomatoes, peppers, onions, spices with iceberg lettuce and low fat sour cream and chive dip - 4.5 syns?

Total: about 9.5 syns
Total for the week Zizi's meal + 23.5 so hopefully still under the 70/ 10 per day

Weigh in and looks like I've lost around 3 pounds so happy with that. Still in the 11's so a long way to go. Onwards and downwards

Not a great day as was out and about so no prepped food.

B: Apple and a coffee with skimmed milk - HXA

Day 6: nearly 2 weeks in, no alcohol for dry January and on plan.

Today is EE

B: Apple and a natural cereal bar (blueberry one) which I need to look up the syns for but would imagine is around 10? Even though it's healthy it's not a SW HXB so will syn it but also not have a HXB today as in my mind that was my cereal thing

Coffee x 2 with milk

2 bottles of water and 1 bottle of coke zero

D: will be another SW curry this one korma style, chicken, onion, spices, tinned toms, quark with cauliflower and broccoli and some rice

So day: 11 syns ish - even if it's more am low over the week as a whole
