Dinner: Small bowl of homemade butternut squash and sweet potato soup; salad made with prawns, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, sweetcorn, chilli flakes, quarter of an avocado (3.5) and one tablespoon of mayonnaise(4.5).

Tuesday - Red day

Brekky: Two chocolate and fudge Alpen light bars and one yellow plum.

Lunch: Nothing.

Dinner: Homemade burger (extra lean mince, plenty of red onion and some black pepper and salt) in a 57g wholemeal roll with 28g cheddar and two slices of bacon plus 1 tablespoon of HP original BBQ sauce (1). Served with lettuce, cucumber, red pepper, onion, carrot, red grapes and 28g sweetcorn (1.5).

Snacks: Well I started with a Curly Wurly then had a Mr Kipling lemon slice and it all went downhill from there, NOT GOOD. I don't wanna list everything I had but I've just totalled the syns and wow, I managed to have a total of 84.5 in one evening. That's absolutely disgusting. It's my own fault for not having lunch and letting myself get too hungry, starting and then not being able to stop. It was WI today and I lost another 4 pounds and got my 1 stone award so I'm very annoyed at myself but also 100% determined and motivated to get right back on track tomorrow. I really hope this doesn't stop me from losing this week but I fear it might. Having read that some people have fish and chips or a Chinese after WI, I might get away with it, seeing as they have about 60 syns a portion. We'll see... :sigh:

Total syns: Too many to count.

Right back on track tomorrow, I promise myself. :eek:
