There is a lot left over that I've boxed up for the freezer, so get over here quick

On the way! It sounds better than the homemade-sort-of-hunters-chicken dish that's in my oven right now!!

Green today (decided at lunchtime that I needed cheese!)
B : All Bran (HEXB), strawberries, ML yoghurt
L : JP, beans, cheese (going to count HEXA2 and HEXB2 for this as it's a take-out and they always pile it on) jalepenos, mixed fruit salad
D :pasta with HM tomato + chorizo sauce (approx 6 syns) and salad
HEXA : Milk in tea
HEXB2 : Cheese
Snacks : 2 clementines
I've had a sneaky peak at the scales and it's looking good to shift that pesky STS from last week :whoop: (I hope I haven't just jinxed it!)
I think it must have been hormonal as TOTM is probably going to descend upon me tomorrow or Friday. I'd just never paid much attention to my cycle before - never needed to as I've not been trying to conceive so perhaps I gain a little the week before *every* time? Who knew? At least now I've been doing this for a few months I might be able to spot a pattern in the fluctuations.

Thank you
It's the only way for me to sustain this for life - make good food that I enjoy eating. Otherwise, I'll just go back to the bad stuff. It doesn't feel like I'm on "a diet" except for having almost cut out alcohol. But I have had to do that, alcohol is one of the things I don't seem to be able to do in a moderate fashion. And me getting drunk leads to rubbish food choices! So I'll just have to live with that as being the best thing for my health in the long run. I shall have to pay more attention to the numbers on my graph
(but I don't want it to become an excuse for eating what I like one week a month because "Oh, it's my hormones", you know?!)

I love your mindfulness, identifying your "dangerous" behaviours and acknowledging them is half the way to curing yourself of them. Well done, old bean!

Well I missed hitting the teens and the new pants but I'm warming up my happy dance for the 3 stone shiny! Glad to see things are still going well hun, despite the little minor blips and the dratted lousy STS. But moving on and learning from those things are what will get you to the end of your journey lovely, so just keep plugging away. I'm behind you all the way - although don't turn sideways, I'll lose you the way you're going!

3lbs is amazing and as for the 3 stone loss? FANTASTIC WORK!
That 100lb will be gone before you know it at this rate. Congratulations to you!

I must have sounded a grumpy old so and so this morning....sorry :flowers:. This time it *is* hormonal. My period is imminent and I am a grouchy, snappy, achey, not-very-nice-to-be-around person.
Today will be Red
B : Aldi porridge (7 syns), banana
L : Nothing in the fridge that I could bring to work - I've eaten it all. Will have to nip out at lunchtime. Will get some cold chicken and salad. ML yoghurt with Alpen Light (HEXB1) crumbled into it
D : Cold chicken leg, Ryvita (HEXB2) + Dairylea Light (HEXA1) + cucumber, melon and grapes
HEXA1 : Milk in tea
Snacks : 2 apples, 1 clementine

Aw hun, you couldn't do grumpy if you tried! That was Mother Nature talking... Tell her I sent one of these: :copon:
3lbs is an even better result when she's stamping up and down on the scales as well! It'll pass soon enough lovely, hang in there. Can I suggest you write down what you want for lunch and ONLY buy what is on your list when you get there? You will be hungry and possibly still a little under the weather and it could be a dangerous moment. How about adding a little treat for yourself as well, like some yummy pre-prepped berries or a different hair product or a new gadget for the kitchen *mental note to get new garlic crusher* or a little bunch of flowers to brighten up your day?
Chin up hun, sending one of these to wrap yourself up in:

Well yesterday's food diary has been amended - couldn't be bothered cooking when I got home so I ate the other cold chicken leg I'd bought at lunchtime (what can I say - they were yellow stickered and cheap, it needed eating!) and then some Ryvita and Dairylea for 2nd HEXs. Followed it up later with some chopped melon and grapes. So that makes yesterday a Red day and only 7 syns.
Today might be equally "picky". I did manage to go shoping last night, so there is a fridge full of salad and a bowl full of fruit at least
EE
B : All Bran (HEXB), strawberries, ML yoghurt
L : Tinned mackerel in tomato sauce, mixed salad, dressing (1 syn), bag of French Fries (4 syns)
D : Gammon stir fry with noodles (3 syns for sauce)
HEXA : Milk in tea
Snacks : Fruit - 3 apples and 4 clementines on my desk but I won't eat all those!
Happy Friday people!arty0019:
