The turning on of the christmas lights was good fun, there was a whole group of us in the end, so it was lovely to catch up with friends I haven't seen for a little while.
Ava loved the fireworks and kept on wanting to see more!
I was a bit naughty and had one of the donuts from the freshly made donut stand. It was for Ava but she didn't want it, and I just started eating it!! but I have synned it, my friends just said not to, but I want to be really good, and at least if i syn everything, I know that I wont feel too bad about it.
Green day today
B - toast (HexB), clover (2), marmite
milk - HexA
L - curried butternut squash soup, bread (HexB), half a banana, kiwi fruit
D - bread (5 syns), tinned spaghetti, cheese (HexA)
this evening - donut - 12 syns!!!!
so a total of 17 syns, leaving 27 syns for the next 4 days.
I'm going to try and have a day of no syns tomorrow, so that I can balance out some of today. I had lots of bread today, I had tea at my friends and we were planning to have soup, but ended up with spaghetti on toast, when I had already used two HexBs!!! oh well, it was nice, and I did say no to an extra donut when it was offered to me, which is progress!!
I have to say though, I didn't enjoy the donut as much as I once would have.

To make up for yesterday, I have been out for a walk this morning, was out for about 2 and a half hours, but half an hour was spent in Lidl and Sainsbury's! I was pushing Ava in the buggy, had Erin in the baby carrier, so I think that all helps too!
food today has been good:-
B - banana, toast (HexB) and marmite
1/2 square of chocolate mid morning - 1 syn
L - curried butternut squash soup
2 kiwi fruits
D - homemade chicken korma - 2 syns and HexA, and rice
so if I stick to the plan for tea, that'll be 3 syns today - leaving me a total of 24 for the next 3 days, or 8 a day, which isn't too shabby!

Thank you! Was a bit tired yesterday and today as Erin had a horrible cough at the moment which keeps waking her up at night, so I put her in bed with me at about 3 and then she slept fine, and it was nice having a lovely cuddle!
Off to work on the allotment today with my husband whilst my parents have the girls, so some more good exercise! We.got the allotment 2 weeks before Erin was born and because of Dave working over 80 hours a week until now we haven't had time to do anything to it yet but need to before we lose it! Lots of home grown veggies next year! We've been growing some in our garden for the last 3 years but its small and we cant grow a great deal!

Phew, I am tired now! Spent two hours in the allotment. it's very overgrown, and we've got a double greenhouse on it, the greenhouse doesn't have a base, which is good as we can plant directly in the ground, however weeds can grow too!!! and it was full with weeds. I spent about an hour and a half clearing the greenhouse, then decided to attack the back part of the allotment with the shears.
I think there must have been a rose bush in there, as it attacked me and was incredibly thorny, more thorny than any rose I have see before. There were also some raspberry canes in there, but the plot was so overgrown with knotweed that you couldn't seperate them, so I'm just going to cut it all down and start again.
Had a lazier afternoon, a soak in the bath, which was much much much appreciated by my body!!
food today -
B - shreddies (HexB), milk - HexA - for cereal and for teas
L - soup, banana
D - korma - 4, rice - free, 2 poppadoms - 4
snacks - carrot, kiwi fruit, satsumas, a few slices of ham that I picked from the fridge!
leaves me 14 syns for the next 2 days. 7 a day, should be able to manage on that!
I'm going to continue having a weekly syn allowance, as I haven't found it too hard having fewer and it's quite nice to have a few more syns on one night of the week, makes me really feel like I am not on a diet anymore, but a better, healthier way of eating, and if I can have a bit of what I fancy one night (providing I syn it of course) then I think it will help to stick with the plan, unlike when I have done more traditional diets in the past.
An early night I think tonight, then maybe a long walk to playgroup and back tomorrow morning, depending on the weather!
I've been doing an exercise challenge on one of the team threads, and I set myself a target of 20 hours exercise this month, and I reached that today, a little over 2/3s of the way through the month! going to have to set a higher target next month - maybe 25, especially as it is Christmas and my birthday in that particular month.
Enough of the rambling now from me anyway!

Hello!
OMG I have been so bad, I've had a week off plan, started as one day, then the weekend, then still couldn't get back to 100%, so starting again tomorrow, got lots of fresh fruit and veg in ready to make some delicious SW friendly meals, and going to go 100% now!
Birthday day out next week, so won't be on plan that day, but it's no excuse to stay off plan now until Xmas/NY, I would put all that I had lost back on, and that is NOT going to happen!
so pulling my socks up, knuckling down and giving myself a big boot up the behind to get back on track tomorrow!!!!
On a plus, I have been on a 3 and a half hour walk today!!
p.s. dreading weigh-in tomorrow
