Ooo the drinks were actually 330ml! But still not Good!
Grrrrr I have been so good i hope this doesnt influence anything tomorrow!

250ml of normal lemonade is 3 syns!
It says the difference between regular lemonade and cloudy is that the pulp isnt sieved or something! Maybe 20 Syns was a little too much!


Still cant find syn values though!

Update:

Yahoo Answers Says:
Clear lemonade = just the juice mixed with sugars and water etc. Like Sprite or Seven Up. Sweet
Cloudy lemonade = the juice and the flesh with less water and less sugars/sweeteners, healthier and more traditional. It is usually quite sharp.

Hopefully this would be better! Will post on the Syn Values

Im going to my friend's Thanksgiving Dinner tonight!
Saving my Syns for it- going to be really good and have lots of veg but stay away from sauces and other fatty articles!
Taking a bottle of WW Red Wine with me!
I think its better to drink it all than lots of other fatty things like Cider etc
My consultant said its 9-10 syns so it shouldnt be a problem.
Also going to the gym straight after work (even though i work in the gym...) and then for my haircut!
Eeeek! Worried!

Anyone done Slimming world and eaten Thanksgiving too?

OK! Its Currently Tuesday and I have been ridiculously naughty!

A Combination of not being able to walk further than the end of my road due to snow and my bad back and also the fact that I have a Dominos and a McDonalds on my road got the better of me!

On Friday I got there too late for thanksgiving dinner- so shoved a McDonalds (Cheeseburger X2, Mayo Chicken) down me and 1 Slice of Key Lime Pie and a Glass of Rose!
On Saturday I ate well during the day as I was at work- but then had a Dominos! (Half a medium pizza & Potato Wedges/chicken strippers)
On Sunday I was practically snowed in and couldnt get to the Supermarket so I had another McDonalds! (Cheeseburger, Mayo Chicken & Chips)

I also didnt pick up my fit logs- even though ive exercised properly at work for my weeks allowance, and I had no food diaries!- So i blame this completely on myself. Im so stupid to run out of them and not ask for anymore!

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday not bad tho!

Will carry on from there!

Hello Everyone,

I have re-set my PAT after a talk with my Consultant.
Im going to reach my lowest weight ever since I was 17 which is exactly 14lb away! this will be my SW Target.
Then Im going to gradually at my own pace work my way down to how I looked at 16!
Im worried about yo-yoing towards the end so I feel that if I set a higher target that I am happy with (and that puts me in an ideal weight BMI category thingy!) then I can remain at target and work down towards my personal goals at my own pace
The last thing I want to do is struggle- and to make myself ill like I did at WW when I stopped eating on WI day (which didnt help me with my Diabetes) so i think that this is my best idea!

What do you all think?

Hope you're all doing well!

5.5 of Xmas Target Down, 8.5 Pounds to Go!
