Sunday 12th February

Breakfast
Cheese on toast (hexs) with tabasco and worcestershire sauce
a banana

Snacks
Strawberries

Dinner
Went to an all you can eat chinese, the kind where you order from a menu. Really chuffed with myself here. I'd been saving some syns for tonight, had 71 left over. My plan was to have around 20 for the meal and still have enough to have two bottles of wine after (although I probably won't need both bottles, nice to make allowances anyway).
I had hot and sour soup - 5 syns
beef in black bean sauce - 5 syns
plain chow mein which I asked for to be cooked in soy sauce instead of oil, so was free
also asked for some salad as well and they gave me a plate full of lettuce, tomato, cucumber and carrot which was awesome so easily got my 1/3 superfree in.
Left the meal feeling nicely full and really pleased with myself for only 10 syns, so easily can have both my bottles of wine now if I wish to... just started on my first glass, thought I'd better update before I start making no sense

just joking really, I probably won't have both bottles anyway, just enough to get a bit merry

Total syns for the week (if I have both bottles...): 96

hi ellierose988 ur food is sounding great also massive well done!!! , just wondering what time u have brekkie coz sum of ur brekkies are more like my dinners, it wont make a difference to weightloss i would have thought but just id find it a little strange eating a dinner meal when i eat my brekki, which is around 8-9am xxx,
again massive well done on ur food and weightloss xxx

 

[ellierose988]

Lol I know some of my breakfasts are strange! It's because I find it hard to eat when I first wake up so I usually have my "breakfast" at break time at work which is usually around midday, and it's usually leftovers from dinner from the night before which is why it's a bit weird! Haha.

Thanks very much for your kind comments

Sunday 26th February

Didn't really have breakfast, had a nice lunch out instead, but had two yellow plums.

Lunch
Went for a walk to the pub nearby and sat in the garden and had chicken and bacon salad, no dressing,with new potatoes. There wasn't much chicken and bacon in it, I left the fat (what little there was) and I highly doubt there was more than a tbsp of oil's worth in the amount I had, so I'm counting it as my heb.

Snacks
Another yellow plum (love them!), hea of cheese to nibble on, a pickled onion, a mushroom

Dinner
Plaice cooked with leeks and lemon, with new potatoes and carrots. Yum yum.

Syns for the week: 104/105 and it's over now so tomorrow it resets to 0!
