Extra Easy Food Diary

[kirsty_baird_26]

Just had a chance to read through your diary dinners etc sound lovely!!

For your fruit do you have natural yoghurt with cinnemon??

Fantastic loss welldone

 

[teddysgoldengirl]

Hey Yes I have the Onken fat free natural yogurt, or else the Onken fat free vanilla yogurt which I believe is syn free too!?

Just about to try the syn free "crisps" that I saw on here!

Looking forward to them!

 

[teddysgoldengirl]

Well, just made the syn free crisps and all I can say is wow. Where have they been all my life! So nice and taste just like normal crisps have been reading here some arguments for and against these crisps, some people saying they should be synned as you could end up eating loads of them, etc, but I say anything in moderation! I used one medium potato and got a whole big bowl of crisps. Think I will be having these at the weekends as a little treat. Have had a good day today, here's what I've had!

Breakfast: 4 pieces lean bacon, small tin of baked beans and a fried egg.

Tea break: Banana and coffee

Lunch: Basically what I've had yesterday and the day before, but this time in a sandwich !! Used a laughing cow extra light triangle (part hexa) instead of butter, and had 2 slices of wholemeal bread (hexb). Then I had a bowl of melon and strawberries.

Snack: Melon and then some SW "crisps"

Dinner: Will be a chicken breast sliced down the middle before cooking, stuffed with 2 triangles of Laughing cow extra light (another part hexa - not sure how many of these I'm allowed, 5 ?? ) and wrapped in 2 pieces lean bacon. Will be having this with some rice and peas, sweetcorn and carrots.

Dessert (!): Well not dessert really but I'm managing to convince myself that this is dessert ... apple and banana, covered with Onken fat free vanilla sprinkled with cinnamon.

Snack: Before bed it'll be a pink n white wafer (2.5 syns) and a cup of tea.

Total syns for today: 2.5

After dinner I'm going to try out a recipe I saw here for chocolate cake, it sounds lovely and I am really craving chocolate today!

Well last night turned into a bit of a disaster! Got invited to a neighbour's house for a bit of a party and brought a bottle of my First Cape wine (drank just over half of it) 7 syns?? and managed to resist the food there, but when I got home I was craving crisps so I made some SW crisps with one potato and then had a purple snack !!! (5.5)

Dinner was lean bacon, beans and a fried egg.

So my total syns for yesterday were approx 15 ...

So much for having a light day !!

Not feeling too confident about wi tomorrow, have had a bit of a funny weekend and not sure that I was getting my 1/3 superfree with all my meals, I won't be surprised with no loss (or even a gain) .. fingers crossed for me!!!

 

[teddysgoldengirl]

Ok ... bad news !! Have weight on this week !!!


Good news is that it's only half a pound.

Have decided to set myself some challenges this week:

Walk the dogs every day after work, and go for another walk in the evening when OH is home.
Do 20 mins of my Fitness channel on Sky every day.
Drink at least 1.5 litres of water a day.
Make sure I have at LEAST 1/3 superfree with all meals.

Here's hoping for a good week (and weekend - nothing on this weekend so should be ok!!)

Off to get lunch ready for tomorrow, don't know what it will be as I'm on playground duty and will only have 10-15 mins to eat

 

[emilyjade]

Hiii Teddysgoldengirl!

I really like your diary! How do you make syn free cake? lol! It sounds so good!

I'm with you on the challenges you've set yourself! Im going to try and do Zumba on the Wii every day and also eat 1/3 superfree with all meals!

I wish there was places near me that did approved slimming world menus!
I may actually pick up on your curly wurlys because every now and then I need a chocolate bar and curly wurly doesnt have as many syns! I always end up going for like a twirl or something and its like 11.5 syns! lol

p.s. cute dogs you have there! I have two crazy cats!

 

[teddysgoldengirl]

Hi Emily! Thanks for your post The syn free cake is yum, if you go to the recipe section on here and search for "syn free roulade" you'll get the recipe for it. I love my curly wurlys, they are my chocolate fix, also love purple snacks (5.5 syns if you buy them in a multipack). Good luck with your challenges for this week! Hope you've had a good day! Here's how mine went:

Breakfast: 2 x Weetabix (heb) with milk from allowance ~ didn't have time to eat any fruit to get my superfree in here! Running late for work !

Tea Break: Banana and coffee

Lunch: Had made a tuna pasta salad but left it in the fridge at home, so had melon, strawberries and pineapple for lunch, followed by a Mullerlight vanilla.

Snack: Was on the go after work today and did a lot of driving about so just grabbed an apple and an orange and had those in the car.

Dinner: Syn free spaghetti bolognese, followed by some more melon (I'm going to turn into one)

Didn't have any syns today, will see how I go during the week, think I might have went a bit overboard with them last week so I'll try my best not to "spend" too many! Just chopped up my melon and strawberries for tomorrow, will be having syn free supernoodles for lunch I think cos I'm too lazy to make anything!

Night night!

 

[teddysgoldengirl]

Really busy day today, just in the door from work, feeling rotten (*week) and dying with cramps! Have no meat in to make something nice for dinner, will have a night off from cooking and I'm just gonna have my Uncle Ben's Rice Time sweet n sour with some SW chips, and will have lots of fruit after this.

Breakfast: Was 2 weetabix (heb) with milk from allowance, and a pear

Tea Break: Banana and coffee

Lunch: Low Fat Supernoodles (syn free), melon and strawberries, and a Mullerlight.

Snack: Just about to have an apple.

Dinner: Will be having my easy night, Uncle Ben and chips, just couldn't be bothered cooking tonight! Feel so rotten!

Snack: I don't think I can resist a Curly Wurly tonight!!!

Total syns: 6

SW Crisps?

Please share ....crisps are my utter downfall

 

[teddysgoldengirl]

Saw something about the sw crisps here, some people say they should be synned as you can end up eating lots of them!! I only did 1 potatoes worth of them and it makes loads. Basically what you do is peel the potato (or leave skin on), and slice it really thin (wafer thin - I use the potato peeler to do this) spray a plate with frylight and place crisps on top, spray frylight on crisps and season, pop in microwave for 4-6 mins, can take longer depending on quantity etc! They go really crispy!! Yum

Sounds delicious!! Must try them with sweet potato next time. Today was a bit of a disaster for me, not feeling great and didn't eat great either!

Breakfast was half a piece of wholemeal toast with Nutella - was feeling really sick so didn't set much of it, counting this as 5 syns.

Tea break - buns at work today and I couldn't resist today. Had a huge choc one with choc icing. It was delicious. Probably about 20 syns

Lunch was hardly anything - still feeling sick. Had an egg sandwich on 2 slices wholemeal bread (heb) but ate just over half of it. Then I had some melon.

When I got home from work I was sick lying on the couch now with hot water bottle & duvet. OH is off to pick up a Chinese takeaway now, I've ordered Singapore fried rice noodles from the sw menu - 1.5 syns.

So today hasn't been good !! Hoping for a better day tomorrow

 

[emilyjade]

Hope you feel better soon! we all have bad eating days, I had one yesterday and the day before whoops!

Enjoy your chinese! At least it doesnt have too many syns in it!
