Thanks Mrs V - I'm going to stick to the same trousers to get a true reflection of the loss this week.
I've been rubbish at recording what I'm eating again but have been sticking to the plan. I'm really wanting to get a better loss this week after staying around the same weight for a month! All my own fault, just want to give it 100% and see how much better I can do.
I can't remember all the food I ate over the weekend but working out syns so that I can keep to 70 for the week:
Fri: Wine 10 syns
Lasagne (homemade cheese sauce courtesy of Britmum): 4 syns
Total - 14
Sat: Jam roly poly (couple small spoons) 10 syns
Wine: 10 syns
Total - 20 syns
Sun: Gravy 2 syns
Crackling (whoops!) 10 syns
12 syns
Ouch! 46 syns this weekend. I'm guestimating upwards but you can really see how easy it is to go over the syn allowance for a few things without realising. The crackling was just popped in my mouth (by me!) without thinking and the roly poly was a couple of spoons of someone's pud - not even mine! So, I now have 24 remaining for this week - roughly 5 per day. I really need to count everything properly for the rest of the week and concentrate on where my syns are going. I think it is pretty clear why my weight hasn't been going down. All those odd little bits really do add up.
Also thinking more on this, most Thursday evenings I will share a bottle of wine with my SW pal after class - 15 syns, then home for dinner. This will be SW friendly, but if I roasted a chicken I'd allow myself some of the skin - 10 syns? so that is at least another 25 syns added on the week that I've not really been counting, sometimes could be more. Uh oh....
So today will be:
Breakfast - Hifi bar & fruit
Lunch: Pasta & sauce with broccoli, spinach, peti pois & sweetcorn
Snack: Mango, kiwi, nectarine & banana
Dinner: Chicken Stew - carrots, swede, onion broccoli & cauliflower with pasta.
Will try and have more red days this week, will see if that boosts my loss at all.
