Emma’s Diary - Size 24-12 baby! 8st 0.5lb lost! ** TARGET MEMBER **

Monday 30th December 2013

And I'm back on plan! After nearly a full week of eating lots of goodies and drinking quite a lot, I'm now back to 100% food optimising. I did start off the Christmas week with counting my syns, but then I just thought I would enjoy myself without worrying about what I was eating. Afterall, Christmas is only once a year, isn't it?

It was also my birthday yesterday (25 now!) and that involved going out for two meals, one on Saturday and one yesterday. Both of which is chose wiseley and didn't have a pudding :) however I did have a few too many alcoholic beverages. Haha. Really enjoyed myself though, and that's the main thing!

Weigh in at 4pm today and to be totally honest I am expecting at least a 4lb gain. But I'm prepared for it, and ready to draw a line under it. Will report back with the results later.

Mother Nature decided to make an appearance this morning, so I'm not feeling up to much today.

Todays food is looking like this...

Breakfast/Dinner:
3x tangerines & peppermint tea

Afternoon Snack:
2x Rocky Road Hi-Fi bars (HExB)

Tea:
Turkey, Batchelors Pilau rice with spring onion mixed in, with salad (Lettuce, cucumber, tomato, spring onion) with grated cheese (HExA)

Evening Snack:
1/2 slice of Caterpillar cake (5syns)
1x Pink & White wafer (2.5syns)
1x Custard Cream (3syns)

HExA - 30g Cheese
HExB - 2x Hi-Fi bars

Daily Syns: 10.5
Weekly Syns: 10.5/105

I've just been for an early morning with, managed 45 lengths as it was rather busy, but hey its better than nothing eh?

I'm gonna nip into town later, and I'm going round to Liam's for tea tonight, his Dad is making Red Thai chicken curry again, so I'm allocating 10 syns for that alone. He uses coconut milk and even the reduced fat version is still high in calories. We're going to the cinema tonight aswell to see the new Paranormal Activity 'The Marked Ones' film, looking forward to that :) Im going to take a few tangerines with me to snack, and maybe some Hoops & Crosses crisps.

So todays food is looking like this...

Breakfast:
WW yogurt, 2x tangerines, green tea

Dinner:
Jacket potato, baked beans, grated cheese (HExA) & mixed veg,

Afternoon Snack:
Toasted roll (HExB) with thinly spread chicken & liver pate (2syns)

Tea:
Red Thai chicken curry (10syns), green beans, sweet corn and boiled rice

HExA - 30g Cheese
HExB - 60g Wholemeal roll

Daily Syns: 12
 
Hi Bev, you should definitely go to the cinema, I love the experience of seeing a new film on the big screen, even better when it's a 3D film :)

Well last nights film was bloomin atrocious. Not scary in the slighest, jumpy at parts but a really poor story line! Wasn't impressed!

Today I've been to Tesco to stock up on a few things; I bought some Alpen light bars & Special K chewy bars for my HExB's, some carrots, tangerines, melon and apples, some Special K cracker crisps (4.5syns per bag) oh and some green and peppermint tea.

The whole of northwest coast of Cumbria is virtually flooded, luckily I live in the centre of my town so my house isn't affected, but the tidal waves that being created are immense! So I won't be going far this evening. I'm actually going round to my best mates house to plan her hen night :) we're looking at going to London for a few nights in October (She gets married on 6th Dec, and I'm a bridesmaid) so some form of takeaway will be involved but i'll update later on.

Todays food is looking like this...

Breakfast:
2x Tangerines, 1x Alpen light bar

Dinner:
Batchelors pilau rice with spring onions, BBQ chicken filet (0.5syns), mixed veg

Tea:[b/]
Chicken kebab (Just the chicken & salad) chicken was grilled aswell, so I'm counting it as free. Also had 2x tangerines for afters :)

Evening Snack:
1x Alpen light bar
1/2 packet salt & vinegar crisps (4syns)
Tangerine

HExA - 250ml semi-skimmed milk
HExB - 2x alpen bars

Daily syns: 4.5
