Syns 'n Stuff - My Daily Food Diary

I LOST A POUND!! WOOP WOOP!

Really didn't know what to expect as I haven't been feeling great - but even though I've had a couple binges, it must help to get right back on track the next day if you can. Wow. SO relieved!
And still so hungry! Will go munch quiche and sparkle juice and add to diary later.

:happy036:

Black coffee, HiFi bar

Sparkling summer fruits

After work snacks; cottage cheese, Alpen bar, 1/4 bread roll (2 syns) with SW Pulled Pork (while kids having their tea)

Out for dinner with the girls last night - didn't totally stick to free stuff as planned, but OMG it was yummy and I had such a great time last night... what ever the syns work out to, it was worth it!

Large red wine (8.5 syns), sirloin steak, jacket potato (with accidental butter! (3 syns),
Veggies, another glass of wine. (8.5 syns), one sugar-coated melty chocolate filled churro (Peer pressure! Peer pressure!) - am estimating this at about, 8 syns, it wasn't very big, about 4 inches long.

Later... one small white wine (6 syns), light babybel before bed.

Totals;
HexA, milk in coffee, light babybel
HexB, HiFi and Alpen bars
Syns - approx 38! Omigoodness. Good grief.
Well, I still had a fab time out, should probably have planned ahead so I could Flexi syn it.

Hope I haven't blown it for next weigh in. :/
 
Sure you won't blow it on 1 night out. All sounds sooo delicious... :)

8It was! And it was knew of those nights where you don't really feel like going out, you plan on being home early, etc, but then it turns out everyone's on great form and you all just eat and drink and laugh and laugh... man, I totally needed that!

Whoohoooo!

Ok, this morning I came to a decision after reviewing my last weeks worth of food. I need more fresh fruit and veg in my life. Therefore, will be aiming for 5-10/day from this point on.
Just thought I'd mention it.

Right, just settling down for some mushy pea curry and chips and broccoli, but too hot to eat, so will get today's diary down..

Breakfast; coffee, milk, sugar(2 syns)

Sparkle juice

Bites of orange, banana

Lunch, SW pulled pork with rice, spinach and lettuce salad with grated apple and Hellmans fat-free dressing, 1/4 bread bread roll again, that my son wasn't eating. Cuppa tea, milk, sugar (2 syns)

Nibbles; 2 squares dark choc (2 syns), seafood sticks... is that it? Could've sworn I'd munched more, but now honestly can't think if what it would have been. Or when I would have fit it in!

Supper; head of broccoli - eaten in two sittings - SW chips, SW mushy pea curry with chicken breast slices.

Not ready to total yet, but not far off!

:)

Small(ish) red wine

....


Okay, ready Freddy.

Totals.
HexA; milk in coffee and tea, light babybel
HexB; 2 x Ryvita
Syns; 15
5 a Day; 5. Meh. Thought I had more, with my double broccoli feast and whatnot. This might be a bigger challenge than I realised.
I used to get my ten a day by having smoothies in the morning, but I'd have to syn that bigtime, so don't want to go the smoothie route this time round.

Soup, maybe. Hmmmm... *frowns pensively and rubs chin with one hand *

G'night all! x

----------

Dang it! Ventured into the kitchen and ended up eating a pack of French Fries (4 syns) and a meringue nest (2.5 syns).

So actual total for Saturday, 21.5. :(

G'morning all! Ready to try again...

Breakfast; coffee milk sugar (2 syns), big juicy orange, two poached eggs and a tomato mugshot (wanted beans, but I'm fresh out!)

Lunch; Homemade ButternutSquash-SweetPotato-SynFreeSpanishSausage Soup! (also had onions, carrots, celery, chicken oxo cube, tsp of chili powder in it)

Cuppa Tea - Lady Grey, lovely!

Supper - Leftover SW Curry and rice

My babydude isn't well again!! Getting a bit fed up TBH, he seems to have had one thing or another wrong with him since January. If it's not cold symptoms, he's puking again, or breaking out in a rash. (Sorry to mention puke in a Food Diary thread but it's become a very regular part of my life lately!)
It just throws everything off kilter for me though, because I just want to cuddle him til he's well again! So, prepping food wasn't top priority today, I'm afraid. Thank goodness for leftovers!

Totals (so far!) (cuz I'm sure I will be editing this later again!)

HexA; Ryvita
HexB; Milk in coffee, Light Cow Cheese
Syns; 2
Fruit/Veg; 4/10

Glass of wine (8.5syns), half can spaghetti hoops, 3 squares of chili chocolate (3 syns) couple bites of SW pulled pork, Toasted English muffin, 7.5 syns, light cow cheese (HexA), sparkling pear and Elderflower
19 syns to add.

I need to change my name to The Nibbler. (Hey, wasn't that a Batman character?)

I was planning on having more to eat after the kids went to bed, but I couldn't... I felt really sick and weak and shaky and ended up falling asleep on the couch for two hours. Which isn't normal for me! I thought at the time i had caught another bug or virus from my wee boy, but just wondering now if that was some sort of sugar overload attack?

Hmmm, anyway, I'm okay now.

I did get up and drink some sparkling summer fruits and water, and had a malted milk biscuit, just cuz. 2 syns.

Totals;
HexA; milk in coffee - and does the milk in the pancakes count?

Weigh in is tonight!! Fun times ahead!!

But seriously, looking back at my food diary over the week, it would be really silly to expect a loss. I've been sad and struggling. (This WILL change! ) Fingers crossed for a small gain then. Or even to STS.
 
Fingers crossed for you. A new week for you so just go for it. X
