Day 1 - Thursday 5th April 2012

Feel I've written hundreds of these... oh well, I'm back on track again and this time determined to do well! This time I'm in the right frame of mind and really want to wave goodbye to my excess flab for good. Sick of being overweight and flabby! Got 2 lovely hols in the summer to look forward to, and even though I won't be at goal, I can be a good few lbs lighter! Going to keep a food diary/general ramblings to keep me on track, and can hopefully look back one day and see how well I've done. I was always the 'slim' friend at school/college, on netball and hockey teams and could generally eat anything and not gain a lb, unfortunately 4 years at university and my first year of teaching has turned me into the fat friend, which I no longer want to be!! So, day 1, here's to a new, slimmer, healthier me . Done SW before so by now should know what I'm doing, but feel free to correct me if I can improve menus.( I'm doing extra easy)

2 wholemeal 400g toast (B)

[holiday-dieter]

Didn't get chance for lunch today.. well, I did. I could say tomatoes saved me from synning big time! Ordered a crispy chicken and bacon deli wrap from maccy d's, and it was loaded with icky chunks of soggy tomato, so it went straight in the bin. By the time I got home from shopping after that it was time to cook so I just waited till dinner time! Going to have some velvet crunch later whilst watching dvds

Saturday 14th April - day 10
Extra Easy

Breakfast: None, TOTM and I feel really icky, but it normally passes after a couple of hours, so nice hot cup of tea, paracetemol, bubbly bath and should be right as rain

Lunch: Sunbites (6 syns - bad bad so far!)

Snack/late lunch: 2 toast (heb) cheese (hea) bacon

Dinner: Chicken curry, fried rice (hehe) been told 10 syns but think this is way too optimistic!

HEA 30g cheese
HEB - 2 bread

Syns - sunbites (6)
chinese 7.5 (changed meal for chow mein)

Not strictly a EE day, well, not an EE day at all as no superfree apart from veg in the curry I'm going to eat soon... but it's that time of month where I need to curb my cravings! Pre SW it would have been prawn toast, crispy seaweed, spare rib and wontons to start, followed by battered something or other with 1/2 fried rice, 1/2 chips and crackers, so believe I've made a relatively smart decision!!

Change of plan.... I'm so indescisive!! And I can't spell.. chicken chow mein now (7.5 syns!)
