Friday 1st February 2013

Extra Easy

HEXA: 2 Babybel cheeses
HEXB: 2 Alpen light bars

Breakfast

Fruit and a Muller light, coffee.

Lunch

Savoury Rice, my HEXA, fruit and coffee.

Dinner

Sausages and mash! Used Tesco Butchers choice half fat pork sausages at 2 Syns each. Was being a pig and had 4!! Mash made with Flora Extra light, peas, broccoli and onion gravy (made from onions, beef stock and Bisto gravy granules).

Syns

1 Velvet Crunch (4)
4 Sausages (8)
1 tbsp Flora Extra light (1.5)
2 tsp Bisto reduced salt gravy granules (2)
1 Ferrero Rondnoir (2.5)
2 Bulmers original cider (24)

Total Syns for the day: 42!!

Started off as a good day but had a stressful week and needed a drink! So we took our dogs for a walk over to Tesco express (about 20-30 mins walk) and brought some!
Dinner was a lot of Syns but best meal we've had in ages! And so filling! If I hadn't had the drink, it wouldn't have been that bad Syn wise.
And we will be having a drink tomorrow night, as its Saturday!
Not really a drinker anymore but needed it this week, just don't want to start drinking regularly as I like cider and its high in Syns!!

 

[Dougal1983]

I've had 67 Syns over 2 days
And I will probably be having another 40 tonight! So I'm going to try and keep my Syns to an absolute minimum from tomorrow until Wednesday!
Really want to keep losing as I'm so close to target and its my husbands birthday coming up and we are out twice that week so will be expecting a gain! X

 

[Dougal1983]

On the consultant front, I had a call from the area manager and she's invited me to an opportunity event on the 17th!
It also turns out she's the OH of someone I work with- small world or what!!!
And there's a vacant group that she's looking after that's very close to my house and I would be the number one choice to take it over, if I agreed to a job!
Eek so exciting I really want to do this but it's only the financial aspect that's bothering me x

 

[Dougal1983]

I forgot to mention that i got my bronze Body magic award the other day

 

[Dougal1983]

Not going to post my food for yesterday as I had a lot of bad stuff, best part of 60 Syns!
TOTM is imminent so that's more than likely why I can't stop eating!
Really going to try and be good next few days, so if I gain anything it's minimal!
I think I'll be lucky to escape WI with a STS this week! X

Hey hun, just put the weekend behind you, you might be surprised you've been losing so well. Good Luck for WI. You can do it!

I saw your pic of sausages & mash on the 'whats for tea' thread, oh my gosh it looked scrummy! I need to have that this week!

Fantasic news on the consultant front, that's a good sign that there's a vacant group so close to home - I always say everything happens for a reason

Well done on your bronze Body Magic award, thats fantastic! x x

Thanks Hun

I must admit I've eaten my own body weight in chocolate today lol, blooming hormones!!

Yes I'm hoping to start afresh tomorrow and do a bit of damage limitation before Wednesday!
I'm so close to target now, I want it so badly!

Thanks for the support x

 

[Dougal1983]

Again I will not post my food today as it has been awful!
Actually I've just realised I'm pretty good during the day, eating my HEX's and plenty of super free, it's the evenings that I'm doing the damage!
Anyway I've eaten more chocolate than I can actually remember today and I'm really going to be good tomorrow, promise! X

 

[Dougal1983]

Pleased to announce I was good today!!!

I didn't have any Syns at all today, TOTM has begun and I feel sick, so haven't really fancied anything. Was tempted to have a Curly Wurly but I doubt I'd stop at one!
Stomach is very bloated and I'm in a lot of pain, really hoping I don't gain too much tomorrow night, I'm grumpy enough right now! X

 

[Dougal1983]

Somehow, despite a very Syn-ful weekend, husband has lost 1/2! God knows how! He's now lost 11lbs since beginning of January, he's hoping for 1lb off next week and he will be at his first target in time for his birthday

Fingers crossed for me tonight x

 

[Dougal1983]

Oops- I put on 2lbs tonight!! Totally ok with it, although slightly annoyed that hubby still lost! But it is my TOTM so hopefully it will be off next week!

No scratch that- it WILL be off!! X

I'm actually really happy right now as I've booked my tickets to go to Crufts this year
I used to go every year but haven't been for a while, what with a wedding to pay for, so this year will probably be my last chance before babies come along
Going for 2 nights by myself, staying in the McDonald Burlington hotel on New St, Birmingham (my usual lol) and I have a Tesco Metro opposite so I'll be sorted for keeping on track x
