Do you do your syns weekly instead of daily? Do you find any difference?
I am alive by the way, i've just been working and not had time to post my diaries, I hate doing them on my phone!

Tuesday 7th April
Week 7
So weigh in:
-0.5 lbs
WK 2: 2.25 lbs per week (4.5 total)
WK 3: 1.00 lbs per week (3 total)
WK 4: 1.62 lbs per week (6.5 total)
WK 5: 1.00 lbs per week (5 total)
WK 6: 1.08 lbs per week (6.5 total)
WK 7: 1.00 lbs per week (7 total)
Got my half stone award
Right, so next mini target is in order!
New Stone = 9st 13.5 lbs
// 1PW = 28[SUP]th[/SUP] April
This should take me 3 weeks at my current weight loss rate, but if I can focus on just adding one SP day in per week and see if that boosts it!

Slightly over on the syns today, but had barely any yesterday so it should balance out
I realise that I have missed my HEA, but there is no milk and I can't eat cheese on its own, bleurgh..
Feeling pretty positive about this week!
I've already made my lunch for tomorrow (chicken tikka salad) and I think feeling prepared is key.
I feel like I could almost class this day as SP. The only thing that is not speed is: corn on the cob & crabsticks & fridge raiders
But aren't crabsticks and chicken fridge raiders full of protein anyways?
If anyone has any insights please let me know!

Saturday 25th April
I was at a trampolining competition all day, which is extremely hard to stay on plan as its early starts with no food stores around, everyone brings baked goods, and lunch sometimes is provided but you don't know what it'll be.
My friend who also does SW was making me some food though, but when getting up at 5:30 it just wasn't enough!
Breakfast
2 x HiFi light bars [HEB]
Lunch
pasta with veg
half a bread cake, buttered, with ham and tomato [6?]
Snacks
swizzles blackberry lolly [1.5]
swizzles double lolly [1.5]
tunnocks caramel log [7.5]
whitworths fruity biscuit shot [3]
Evening
6 chilli cheese bites from Burger King (I was reallyyy hungry, and we stopped on the way home!) [??]
bless my OH, he suggested quorn burgers for tea and he would have it ready for when I get back but Asda didn't have any and my phone was nearly dead so I couldn't look up syns for him.
Tea
2 x Linda McCartney Mozzarella burgers [13]
2 x small WM buns [12]
Asda herb new potatoes [1]
Salad
TOTAL SYNS
45 +++
Thats more than a night out for me! I'm hoping all the exercise I did negated some of the horrific choices!
