Weigh in today - down 3.5lbs, woo hoo! I really think the red days and exercise helped me achieve such a big loss this week.

25/04/12 - red day
Breakfast: 2 slices ww wholemeal bread (heB) with 2 triangles of laughing cow light cheese (heA)...such a simple meal that looks boring but is SO tasty!
Dinner: quorn 1/4 pounder burger (1/2 syn) topped with cheese (heA) and a very generous helping of onion then melted in the oven....so tasty!
Tea: Last bowl of my moms homemade vegetable soup
Snacks: 1 alpen light bar (heB), velvet crunch (4 syns), ww cheesy nachos (4 syns), a small chip from my sisters plate at dinner time..they were some kind of M&S chips oven cooked and i don't know the exact value of one tiny chip, so i'll just count it as half a syn!

Total syns: 9

I didn't have much fruit today but the soup was full of vegetables so I don't mind probably better not to be eating loads of fruit every single day anyways

26/04/2012 - (green day)

Breakfast: Hifi peanut deluxe bar (heB). Just bought these at class this week and they are yummy! I love peanuts so I am glad I can have my little "fix" as a heB.
Dinner: 2 slices WW wholemeal bread (heB), reduced fat mozzarella cheese (heA), quorn quarter pounder burger (1/2 syn), onion, tablespoon ketchup (1 syn), SW chips
Tea: N/A didn't have any as i'm still full from my dinner! Had quite a big dinner today so I wouldn't be hungry and end up eating bad food. Wednesdays and Thursdays aren't great days for me because i'm usually low on fruit and veg, I go food shopping thursday evenings...
Snacks: velvet crunch (4 syns), ww cheese tortilla crisps (4 syns), blueberries

Total syns: 9.5

I don't really like the weight watchers crisps. I have a couple of bags left but once they're gone I won't be buying them again. My mom had the WW hula hoops in ready salted flavour and they tasted disgusting..like burnt ashes. Will stick to velvet crunch in the future!

Hoping to start back at my walking in the morning My blister is getting less painful and the swelling has gone down..think i'll tape some cotton wool to my toe and hope for the best lol. really enjoying walking in the mornings

[d14]

Sorry I haven't updated in a few days, I have been feeling so down 2 star weeks in two weeks has really knocked me down. Haven't gone walking since Sunday morning but I have been doing the 30 day shred which I completed today, and cycling a few miles every day too. Probably won't go walking tomorrow as I have weigh in early but will get back into it Thursday

Anyways I have kept a log of what I ate on my phone so I will go ahead and post my entries for the past couple of days...

How weird that my last few days have all been 13 syns! Using my syns on a lot of crisps lately but I really crave them on star week and I wouldn't have much to use my syns on otherwise, so I don't mind. Also eating quite a lot of lazy food that takes no effort to cook but thats mostly because star week knocks me back and completely de-motivates me, the last thing I want to do is spend ages preparing food, bed and a hot water bottle is much more appealing Hoping to start cooking more next week...definitely planning a stir fry and maybe fanta chicken (with quorn instead of chicken!)? Haven't tried that yet but it looks nice

Been texting my consultant tonight, she is so supportive i'm really glad I joined her group shes really put me at ease about my crazy star weeks (two in two weeks!) and made me even more proud of my weight loss. Weigh in is tomorrow morning..really hoping i'll lose 1.5lbs to get my first stone award! Oh and lastly, if you are a crisp addict like me - weight watchers crinkle crisps are SO nice! Theres not many in the bag but the taste is so strong that it satisfies me, I go tthe sour cream and chive....they are definitely nicer than velvet crunch!
