Hello! I think this may be the fifth time I've attempted a diary on here...I sometimes find getting too obsessive sends me spiralling off, but I'm doing ok for now and I come on here most days so might as well try my own diary again!
Bit of background...managed to get down to 10 stone 7 during Christmas 2013, but this was through extreme stress and anxiety being in my final year of university. I then piled it all back on right up to 11 stone 11, a bad break up combined with a desk job where I seem to munch away from being tired/bored.
So since Boxing Day I have managed to get down from 11 stone 11 to 11 stone 6. I'm back following SW from home but I might 'join' a group this week just to get the new book. I don't plan on doing the SP plan, I think it sounds horrendous and I'm pretty annoyed that they've got rid of green days. I've gone vegetarian for January as a challenge but tbh, my newfound addiction to Quorn and complete lack of any meat cravings means I may well continue into the rest of the year. So technically I do 'green days' but really I'm doing extra easy as I don't eat the second A/B choice allowed on a green day.
I also started Couch to 5k again recently, I used to be able to run well but let it all go when I moved back home so this will be a food and exercise diary for a healthier, leaner me
I weigh in on a Thursday usually, I think I'm looking at a gain this week because TOTM and also had a bad couple of days but I'm hoping to maintain, 0.5lb - 1lb off would be fabulous!
Enough rambling anyway, food for the day:
Sunday 11th January - Extra Easy
Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs (1/2 A) on toast (1/2 B) with a pear and coffee [note - I usually split my HeXs, I have 175ml skimmed milk and 15g cheese and this works fine for me!)
Lunch: a big mixed pack of fruit from Asda (4 of your 5 a day and only £1.50!), a greek style toffee Muller light (0.5), 1 chocolate/fudge Alpen light (1/2 B)
Dinner: 2 Quorn fillets with 1 tbsp medium Nando's sauce (0.5), McCain's frozen jacket potato (1), 15g cheese (1/2 A), lots of salad and a whole red pepper
Snack: strawberry Options hot chocolate (2)
Total syns: 4
Exercise: Couch to 5k Week 2 Day 1, I did this twice today in the morning and evening.
I've seen people saying strawberry Options is 2.5 syns but I don't see how as it's not even 40 calories? If anyone knows please let me know, I'll keep counting it as 2 for now
