Clover's Green Day SW Diary :)

[Clover89]

Hi guys!

I joined class last night and weighed in a whopping 15st 12lbs (5lb heavier than home scales?!)

I did SW a few years ago so know how the plan works but not up to date with all the latest tips and tricks so any advice will be welcomed!

I have been a vegetarian for 1.5years, I do eat dairy though, so itl be green days for me. I'm 22, a student nurse and live with my partner in London

Today was day 1

Breakfast:
Chopped strawberries and cherries with a cup of tea.

Lunch:
Jacket potato with cheese (2x HEa), beans and side salad of lettuce, tomato, cucumber and yellow pepper
Coffee (with semi SK milk at 8syns)

Tea:
2x boiled eggs, wholemeal bread (HEb x2),
Butter (3)

Snack:
Vimto ice lolly (2)

Water intake so far: 2200ml excluding tea, coffee + diet coke.

Total syns: 13

Hope anyone reading has had a good day! I'm off for a lovely walk in the sunshine while its lasts, get my body magic in!

Hi Clover

Here to subscribe, always on the lookout for green day inspiration
Quick tip if you don't have syn values/calculator to hand (which you probably already know), if there's no free or super free its usually 1syn per 20cals- saved me in supermarket before and I have learned those triangley shaped "jubbly" ice lollies are 1syn! So refreshing in this heat too
Good luck with SW! X

 

[Clover89]

Iv updated the diary input above. Not a bad day

What did you think of the overnight oats?

I liked it! It was really filling and I had 2 3rds for breakfast and the other bit after lunch. It was a nice change, iv prepared it for tomorrow too. Do you like it? X

Yes thank you, I knew it but its a great tip and thanks for sharing! And good to know about the jubblys! Is that including the cola ones
Do u have a diary? I too, always look for green inspiration! How long have u been doing SW?x

 

[Poppet12]

Ah good stuff! I didn't know about it until a few wks in to sw- when someone told me it helped immensely!
I've been doing sw since around march, started at 12st2lb and had made it down to 10st11 but had a very naughty weekend and it seems I can't get away with it- scales showed a 5.5 gain! Yikes I'm being good now lol.
I do have a diary- think its in my signature but I'm not tech-savvy!
I sometimes do EE if we have nice farm shop meat in but mostly green xx

Im not sure what to make of it to be honest but then again I'm not sure if I've done it right! Don't think I like the natural yogurt lol.

Yeah its very handy if u want a rough guess to see if its worth worth it! Wow well done at getting into the 10's, that's my aim but I've got 5st to go eeep.
Ah what's ur diary called, cant see a signature on the app here xx

Im not sure what to make of it to be honest but then again I'm not sure if I've done it right! Don't think I like the natural yogurt lol.

How do u make it? I literally just put 35g oats and 200g of yogurt for the right consistency (u could use any free or low syn yogurt though if u don't like natural) mix it all up and put frozen berries over the top which defrost overnight and flavour the porridge with the juices mmm

 

[Poppet12]

I was ridiculously happy to be back in the 10s! Just need to get back down there lol.
It's just called RosiePops Green/EE diary! X

Hi!

Here to subscribe! Your quiche looks delicious!! I'm starting back officially tomorrow so I've been scouring the threads for ideas for meals (If I don't plan I will fail!)

Nice to get a diary in the early stages so I can make some forum friends!!

Thanks - Good Luck!!

Hi Hun your diary looks brill, I thought stir fry noodles were free as long as you use the 1 cal spray? Have I got that wrong as I've not been counting as syns x
