Advice for the PrawnchopSuey

Don't panic, Steps wouldn't usually be my cup of tea but I prefer cheese to generic dance music for a workout - plus, when you know the songs you can pace yourself as you have a better idea of how long you've got left!

:) Tuesday - red

Breakfast - banana mid-morning

Lunch - leftover fish pie from Sunday
pear
apple

Snack - fibre plus bar (HexB)
Half a kit kat (2.25 syns)

Dinner - Baked salmon with butternut squash and tomatoes (from Britmum's blog, but I substituted mayo for fromage frais to make it syn free and missed out the dijon mustard)

Was really nice, and I'm not usually a fan of salmon, but I didn't weigh out the ingredients so I was left with a teeny tiny dinner. It's OH's birthday and he is going to work his night shift in a few mins so I thought it was best to give him a decent sized portion (well, it was still pretty small) and I'll have something else later because I'm pretty hungry still!!

So plan is...
2nd dinner - 2 x tomato and cheese on toast (HexA x2, HexB + 4 syns) YUM

Total syns: 6.25

Going to do a session on my gym ball later too :)

4 days done and dusted, 3 more to go (but don't WI until Monday). Can't say it's helping my loss so far though (I'm a compulsive self-weigher ;) ) but it's surprisingly yummy.
6lbs is an amazing loss - I knew you'd have that holiday weight off in no time!!! :) :)

sounds good, till i read the last bit as broccoli Solero, thought, OMG, what a flavour - doh!
 
eurgh! broccolli solero - what a nasty thought! I really admire all you ladies who manage the fishy week, i finally had a fish meal, the jamie oliver fish pie and for a not-so-keen fish girl, i thought the pie was delicious, maybe my tastes are changing, cos as i made the pie up i just kept thinking oh this looks so delicious, good luck for monday, donna x
 
Thanks Donna, to be honest I didn't think I'd manage a fish week, but thought that for a decent loss it would be worth it!! Then when I started planning I found it didn't look too bad. I've not had fish twice a day every day though, some days only once...

Had a cheeky peek on the scales this morning and showing 2lb off for this week so far....but then I'm off to my mum's for the BH weekend so could all change by Tuesday (will have to WI Tuesday so I can use my scales for a fair comparison) :)
 
:) Friday - green

Am writing this in advance since I will be in a rush this evening. Going to play badminton after work, then quick dinner before driving down to my mum's (Yorkshire to Reading, 4-5 hours...).

Hopefully will get on here tomorrow and Sunday to update my food diary - if not, look out for a bumper post on Monday ;) :)

Hope you have a lovely weekend away :)
 
i wish you good luck at your next weigh in hun! :D

i always gained the last time i was with SW when i didn't have all my healthy extras, i just wouldn't be in the mood for them and that is a problem because they are there to make sure your body gets what it needs, if it doesn't then the plan won't work. syns aren't necessary, but healthy extras are hun, so don't cut them out. i learnt that the hard/long/expensive way :)
