Day 11 done

Better than yesterday but still not great. All my meals were out, and I made good choices I think but no info / control on cooking (oil, butter etc

Breakfast: Banana and pear, black coffee
Lunch: small piece of roast lamb with roasted root veg (guessing 4 syns for oil). 3 oat crackers with small piece of cheese (part HEXA & HEXB). Fruit salad (mainly melon).
Dinner: steak with green beans (4 syns for butter / oil), oil). 3 oat crackers with small piece of cheese (rest HEXA & HEXB). 1. large glasses of wine (7 syns)
Other drinks: water, black coffee
Syns: 15

I have lunch out again today but rest of meals before Monday weigh in will be at home and should be easier
 
Day 12 - started well but ended badly ...

Breakfast: 35g All Bran with low fat milk (HEXA), fruit salad (mainly grapes and melon), black coffee
Lunch: super food salad with grilled halloumi (8), edamame beans, quinoa (HEXB) and avocado (8), lots of wine (at least 20)
Dinner: chips (10)
Syns: 46

Woke up this morning really angry with myself - had a sneaky weigh expecting a gain but I am actually down - this has spurred me on to try to have 2 good days before weighing on Monday.
 
Day 13 - slightly better ... got up late so missed breakfast

Brunch: 2 crustless quiches with sprinkling of cheese (HEXA) with coffee with milk (part HEXA)
Dinner: (out) scallops followed by soy glazed salmon (guessing 2 syns for sauce) with mixed veg (2 syns for butter) also "stole" 2 chips (1 syn) and a few spoons of dessert (5 syns). 2 small glasses of wine (10 syns)
Syns: 20

Not perfect but not too bad, and I went for a really long walk - I think I walked about 12K
 
Day 14 -

Breakfast: 1 crustless quiches with sprinkling of cheese (HEXA) with coffee with milk (part HEXA), chicken tikka
Lunch: (out again!) bbq - had chicken, a chop and 1 sausage (5 syns) with some salads without dressing, 2 glasses of wine (14 syns)
Dinner: chicken and broccoli
Syns: 19

This week has been really difficult - my meals at home have been good, but I have been out a lot and invariably that has involved alcohol, sometimes way too much alcohol - that is going to be my focus for next week.

Hi Kate,
Thanks for popping in! I was down almost 4lbs this morning - really happy with that.
Wishing you a great start too!

You had a brilliant 4lbs last Monday:0clapper:

Good luck with weigh-in tomorrow:)
 
Day 15 - good day - I was down 1lb this morning - which, given the week I had, is more than I deserved. I seem to have found my motivation again and had a perfect SW day:

Breakfast: 35g bran flakes with skimmed milk (part HEXA) and 2 coffee with milk (part HEXA)
Lunch: chicken tikka with salad (lettuce, grated carrots, cherry tomatoes - no dressing), apple
Snack: crustless quiche (1 syn cheese)
Dinner: turkey stir fry (2 syns for oil) with mushrooms, beansprouts & cabbage with 1 spoon of soy based sauce (2 syns)
Syns: 5

Feeling motivated for the week ahead. My exercise and food were good last week, but wine was a disaster. I am determined to reign it in this week. I won't say I am going to cut out completely (have a big family lunch planned for Easter on Sunday and will definitely be having a few glasses of wine) but will do it within my syns. All my meals this week should be at home / within my full control. My plan is to manage sys to 5 most days and then have a bit more flexibility at the weekend for a few glasses of wine.
 
Day 16 - another good day - probably eaten too much tonight though - at least it was all veg

Breakfast: 35g bran flakes (HEXB) with skimmed milk (part HEXA) and 1 coffee with milk (part HEXA)
Snack: Apple
Lunch: Chicken tikka with salad (lettuce, grated carrots, cherry tomatoes - no dressing), clementine.
Snack: Crustless quiche (1 syn cheese)
Dinner: Pan fried salmon (2 syns for oil) with cous cous and veg (broccoli, asparagus, kale, peas, carrots, baby sweet corn)
Other drinks: black coffee, tea with milk (part HEXA), water
Syns: 3

I would love to see 8 on the scales instead of 9 by next Monday - would need a 3 lb loss - might be feasible if I can keep this up for most of the week?
 
Day 17 - I am on a roll ...

Breakfast: 35g bran flakes (HEXB) with skimmed milk (part HEXA) and 2 coffee with milk (part HEXA)
Snack: Apple
Lunch: Salmon (2 syns for oil) and veg (broccoli, carrots, sugar snap peas), clementine
Snack: Chicken tikka, apple
Dinner: Was very hungry earlier (hence the snack) but not really this evening so had crustless quiche (1 syn cheese) and a pear
Other drinks: water
Syns: 3
 
Day 18 - Still going well ...

Breakfast: 35g bran flakes (HEXB) with skimmed milk (part HEXA) and 3 coffee with milk (part HEXA)
Snack: Apple
Lunch: Chicken, butternut squash chips (2 syns for oil) and veg (broccoli, carrots, cauliflower)

Dinner: Same as lunch (using up leftovers)

Syns: 6

Still a bit off plan but relieved to get through the bank holiday weekend without too much damage. Back to routine tomorrow. Will be easier. Plan for the rest of the week is low syns (5ish) and no wine!
 
Day 23- fully on plan day. Even though it was Tuesday felt like the start of a new week. Again this week I am planning 3 (or perhaps 4) careful days, giving me a little more flexibility at the weekend for socialising (invariably means a glass or 2 of wine) or a meal out.

Lunch: roast lamb and salad (mixed leaves, cherry tomatoes, salad onions, radishes - no dressing)
