Made a big pan of soup for dinners for the rest of the week, just all veg looks a very odd shade of green! Hopefully will clawback some of my poor behaviour before weigh in on friday

Managed to get out of work am hour earlier so took the bike out for an hour as it was so nice!

Well done on the pound. Sounds like you have a fun evening ahead. Counting the shuns, I mean syns or just having whatever?

You've reminded me to take my measurements, haven't since jan, although I think I lost my original ones

Enjoy your Friday! Xx

 

[Purple*Tortoise]

I will be counting the syns, but I will not be caring how high the number - tonight
Although when I have my website head on tomorrow I will regret it! Just planning on a 25 mile ride for Saturday as penance!

Love finding other red diarys, I find that carbs make me crave bad food. Well done on your weightloss so far, you have done so well. How are you getting on with the non smoking?

Not bad feel I'm over the smoking thing now not even slightly tempted! Can't stand going in people's houses who smoke indoors.
Do you have a diary? I am always after more red day ideas

Food for Friday 30th March 2012

Started well but rapidly starts to sound like a confession......

7.30 cup of my free veg soup
9. 2 egg omelette with chicken, mushroom,
spinach
12. Whlml x 2 (B) ham, lettuce, LCL x 4 (A)
Velvet crunch (4 syns)
Melon & pineapple
2. Mikado x 24 (12 syns)

Walked into the kitchen to find a greggs white choc cookie on offer - it was free in terms of pounds! Have been unable to locate syn value but safe to suffice in saying the rest of the day was off plan. Went to a 40th garden party do decided was going off plan!

Tea - chicken burger & chips, pizza style garlic bread with cheese

At least 6 cans of red stripe - syn value unknown but worth every drop!

 

[Nellylou]

I gave up last year and it's the best thing I have ever done, hardly ever tempted now apart from when drinking... Started a diary but been a bit lazy with my food _ need to start making proper red day recipes. Don't know how to copy diary link but its got my name as title i think

Apparently we're getting free bacon butties at work in the morning due to a very good first quarter, have ordered dry wholemeal toast with bacon from which I will remove the fat, and a fried egg (1 syn)
Plan is to cut off crusts of whlml toast to make it hexb sized avd hope they get the order right then I don't have to count syns for a bit of flora!

My friend got me a gel cushion not going to be able to get one the bike till Friday but the OH has tried it out and said it was great!
I know what you mean about upping your game, my losses have been pretty poor. 2.5 off last night but that is for 3 weeks. So not even a pound a week. And I want 4 for next week... Ha ha.
Enjoy your bacon n egg butty xx

Wednesday 4th April 2012

Very annoying day food wise! Was up really early do thought could make a SW suitable bacon buttie for one syn and a hexb but decided not to as had already pre ordered the one at work - which sent the food slightly tits up for the day

7.30 fat free yoghurt
9. Banana
10. Starving and still wondering where the supposed bacon buttie was - had to have an alpen light (3 syns) massive waste of syns at breakfast

11.20 at last bacon buttie turns up!
Was on what I think was granary dry toast so (7 syns) massive waste of syns shouldn't have bothered plan was whlml bread as hexb!
Fried egg (1 syn) bacon - I removed the fat

12.30 dinnertime, not hungry as just had the buttie but ate some fruit and Crabsticks as I knew I would end up hungry and in a vile mood in the afternoon
Melon / pineapple / kiwi
8 Crabsticks

3.30 - grapes as very hungry now wishing I had eaten the soup earlier regardless of being full

7. Wholemeal pitta (B) thin steak, fry lite mushrooms with scrambled egg in there

10. Velvet crunch (4 syns)
Ww mini roll (4.5 syns)

Syns 18.5 (due to waste of 7 on granary bread! Won't be doing that again that's worth a decent bar of chocolate or bag of crisps)
A x 1, B x 1

Lesson learned - don't let other people affect food planning - next time I won't bother will just stick to own food plan and be the weirdo in the corner on the diet
