Biker Chick's Newbie Nosh

So it was recommended that I start a food diary as I'm following SW from home, to give me some pointers and somewhere to keep myself accountable, so here goes!

The first thing I have to say is after years of point and calorie counting, I am loving how full I am feeling. The liberation that comes with being able to eat if hungry is, well...... liberating

So as I am coming to the end of my second week, I thought I would play catch up and post a few days worth of meals so any obvious mistakes can be explained.

Week 2 Weigh in

11 stone 12lbs this morning so a STS. Not unusual for week 2 from what I've read although I was a bit disheartened . Onwards and downwards for me though. Not giving up, just going to look at the whole month's loss instead of focusing on 1 week.

Breakfast today was 4 Ryvita (B) 2 extra light cheese triangles (part A) Ham, Apple

Snack of an apple and a banana mid morning

Lunch is going to be a chicken and ham salad (1 syn on tbsp. extra light mayo) With some cooked pasta mixed through. Follow this with some fruit and a muller light.

Dinner is in the slow cooker and smelling nom nom nom! Lean diced beef curry type thing with potatoes and petit pois will serve this with roasted leeks and broccoli.

Not sure what to spend my syns on today yet. Not alcohol that's for sure, still got a headache from last night

Your dinner sound lovely, have to let me know how it turns out, not used my slow cooker for a few weeks, fancy getting started with it again

Was really nice, I just followed the SW Keema mince curry recipe from on here but used diced beef instead of mince, and added potatoes to it then chucked it all in the slow cooker x
