Debs Diary - This time or Bust!

[loulou19]

Hellooo

On a lot of your days you don't seem to be using many syns. Could you maybe plan your day, and as part of it plan a nice chocolatey snack or something for the evening that is within your syn allowance? I try to use 10-15 syns a day, and look forward to my snack. I get a treat and I'm staying on plan, it's great! And it stops me giving in after dinner.

I'm the same as you I only have a book from 2007!! So only red & green day info. I'm doing mostly red & green but am doing some EE days too though, it seems more convenient sometimes. I believe super free foods are fruit & veg that are free on both red and green days. Have a look at - & - for more info on it.

And good luck! You're doing well

Thanks loulou19 _ I'll check out the info as see if I can plan some meals - had opticians appt today so had to have a Tescos Light lunch Egg and Cress sandwich not sure how many syns that is or whether I count it as (hxb and the egg as free)?

Also had a bag of quavers from multi pack so those are 5 syns but did buy some Tescos Cheese curls as those are lower in syns.

Not sure whats for Dinner though. but think I need to get me head down and plan.

Thanks for taking the time to look through my FD much appreciated

Morning all,

Ok worked out my food shopping for Nov and I spent way too much. So I will be mainly eating out of the freezer.

So Saturday I will be making a list of whats in the freezer and planning my meals round that - i cannot afford t
the bill I had last month.....

Bkft: Weetabix x 2 (hxb), Skimmed milk (hxa), 5 grapes (free)

Snack: Melon and grapes (free)

Lunch: Carrot and BNS Soup homemade (free), salad (free) boiled eggs (free) - might have tuna with this not sure yet.
ML yogurt (free)

Dinner: Carrot and BNS Soup (free) Bread roll (hxb)

Syns:

Tesco Cheese curls are these 3.5 syns or 4?
Costas hot choc made with skimmed milk - 6 syns

Soup tastes too carrotie not sure what I can do too make it nicer. perhaps add an onion?

Good morning!

You're very welcome I find planning ahead a little makes life soo much easier. It's annoying that food works out to so expensive though, I find meat expensive so I like green days more!

A light egg & cress sandwich is 14 syns, if the bread was wholemeal you can -6 syns and use it as a HEb. And the cheese curls are 3.5 - might have to get myself some of these!

Thanks for that. So not a bad yesterday then - cool. today I slipped up and had a small choc eclair but thats 7.5 so with my cheese curls at 3.5 = 11 syns plus my Costa Hot Choc which I believe is 6 syns I will check mag tonite. total syns 17 - 2 over but then not had loads all week.

Carrot and BNS Soup was ok
Had tuna in with salad for today - so its a red day today.
and I have soup tonite after exercise with WM roll that will be my second hxb.

Think I might be getting the hang of this - got my bible by my side soi if I'm not sure I check.

Thanks for your help.
