So day two is upon us! I have been to the gym this morning and drunk a load of water (unsurprisingly in this weather!) Just having one Alpen light before i go shopping so i'm not tempted in to anything bad in Tesco!
Don't think i'm eating enough, it's not that i'm hungry and i'm sticking to the 2/3 to 1/3 split just don't seem to have time to eat what i want! I'll get that right this evening i think!

Breakfast - Red grapefruit (2/3) ham(1/3)

Snack - 2 x Alpen light choc and fudge(HExB)


Lunch - Tomato, 2 large field mushrooms (2/3), topped with 57g Philly light garlic and herb(HExB), and bacon(1/3)


Snack - Mullerlight Rhubarb

Dinner - Quorn stir fry made with peppers, red onion, greens, carrot, courgette, and beef quorn pieces (2/3) sweetcorn (1/3) with black pepper, soy sauce, chilli, stock and a dash of tabasco

Dessert - quark and satumas with 1.5 choc orange options (3 syns)

Ooooh these sound yummy! The choc and orange ones are good too.

The fudgey ones are lovely, have yet to try the orange ones.

satsuma and Mullerlight vanilla with choc sprinkle


Snack - satsuma

Dinner - Steak (1/3), lettuce, cucumber, mini plum tomatoes, white cabbage, 2 quorn sausages.
Syns - 2tblsp ketchup 2 syns, 2 tblsp light salad cream 4 syns, cadbury 1/2 fat choc mousse 3 syns.

Also drinking loads today to combat water retention as i had puffy ankles.

 

[Chuffy_29]

Just realised i've not had my HExB's! Now i'm stuffed and won't manage them, darn it.

 

[*Sally Cinnamon*]

Oh are we allowed 2 HEb's? I thought it was only 1.... goody

xx

 

[Chuffy_29]

Here we are again. Not sure this is working, posted in the main section for some assistance! Breakfast isn't going to strictly be SE as i'm struggling to get the red/green choice in, it always ends up being bacon, cheese or beans!

Breakfast - 2 weetabix (HExB) and 175ml whole milk (HExA)

Snack - Banana

Lunch - Quorn BBQ chicken pieces, greek salad(white cabbage, cos lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion)
Syns - 28g feta cheese 3.5syns

 

[Chuffy_29]

So after Saturdays lunch i was feeling a bit ropey and ended up with a bad stomach and didn't eat anything else for Saturday! Yesterday i had dry toast, and a couple of crackers and that was about it! Still not right today but i've started off with a couple of weetabix and milk (measured as per HExA) and we'll see what happens.

 

[*Sally Cinnamon*]

hope you feel better soon... a good way to cutback though lol.

take care

xx

 

[Chuffy_29]

lol yes a "cheat" weigh in shows a 3.5lb loss! Would rather be eating though!!

 

[Lucy1987]

Hope you're feeling a bit better.

I was looking at your menu for some SE inspiration and think I may borrow the omelette idea for a different lunch.

[Chuffy_29]

It is funny.... normally it would be sod the diet, but with SW you can just say "I'll try that later and stick to EE", eating lots and sticking to plan... I love SW... good luck with EE, I will be (hopefully) trying this next week when on holidays ( and probably exceeding my syns too lol)

xx

 

[Chuffy_29]

There's a really helpful article in this months mag about syns on holiday! Basically it says you can either eat what you want and know you'll gain, try and be good but flexible or stick rigidly to it!

Today i am EE, as it's OH birthday and we're going out tonight.

Breakfast - total 0%, with strawberries and raspberries
snack - wafer thin ham slices
lunch - chicken noodle mugshot, mandarin mullerlight
Dinner - Malaysian/Singaporian potatoes cakes, prawn toasts, satay
Crispy beef with vermicelli, beef rendang, lamb curry, sizzling chicken, plain rice
Caramel ice cream
Syns=100approx

Thank the lord for flexi syns

 

[Chuffy_29]

Got on the scales this morning (i know i know) and i'm still showing a half lb drop on last week and i've got 3 days to make up ground so 100% on plan (not that i really stray usually!)

 

[*Sally Cinnamon*]
