After 4.5lbs on over Christmas (taking me out of target range) and a decision to lower my target I once again have a stone to lose.

My last stone was pretty difficult to lose and I'm hoping this one won't be. To help keep me on track I'm going to try and keep an online food diary, plus possible ramblings.

Target for this week - lose 5lbs.

Went to a friends house so glad I ate a good breakfast so I wasn't too hungry at lunch time and got away with eating a small amount of the food she'd cooked and then was able to fill up on fruit whilst driving home

Dinner

Oh dear for dinner not really a good choice but I couldn't be bothered cooking for myself when I got back from zumba so it's a hot shot and a banana with a small glass of wine (4.5 syns) and a slice of bread (3 syns)

Total - 15

I've seen a thread on this and thought it might help me with keeping up with the good progress I'm making on my depression.

1 I resisted going to macdonalds

2 I have curry bubbling away on the hob for dinner tonight and it is syn free

3 I haven't had to go to work.
 
Here's to trying to keep to 100% tonight.

Lunch

banana, custard (7 syns) grapes, coffee with options (1 syn)

Dinner

creamy mint and coriander chicken with pay choi and salad.

Hopefully there won't be a house full of yummy food at tonight's party. Where the hostess is a fantastic pastry chef.

well I didn't stay on plan last night. oops.

but I don't think it was too bad 1 small glass of wine about 125ml and a bowl of chili and rice - I just don't know about the fat used or how lean the mince was - plus a handfull of crisps and a brie and cranberry parcel.

Today I have started the year with a 2 hour walk in the country.

Breakfast

2 slices toast (hexb) 30g cheese (hexa) mustard (1 syn) banana.

lunch

melon ( I think I really should have eaten more but we were out walking and that is all the spar had in way of low syn food).

dinner

this is where I'll fall down as we're off out for an Indian, so I'm going to flexi syn at 25 syns as for a change I'm not driving and can actually have a drink.

3 positive things for today

1 - I have an amazing man in my life.

2 - my thermal leggings, fleecy walking trousers and waterproof can keep me dry and snuggly warm whilst out walking.

3 - the restaurant that looked closed at 4.30 when it should open at 4, is now open and saved the day.

new years resolutions

1. conquer my anxiety and depression and stop my avoidance problems

2. be under 8 stone for my 40th birthday, although I don't plan on staying there as I don't want to be at a weight which is difficult to maintain and it is my lowest healthy weight.

3. work on my solo dancing and put myself forward to dance at more haflas rather than being persuaded to, and increase my confidence so I get put forward for more gigs.

4. make meditation a daily routine rather than something I have to remember to do.
 
Really enjoyed my wine, ameretto, onion basis, egg rice and lamb patia - don't know the syns but it was a new year celebration and I stopped eating when full.
