So. Here I am again. Not been here for a while. A long while. The past year has been a weird one, I got my insulin pump a year ago and I've had to focus on that a lot and really let following SW properly slide. I am working more hours now though too and it can be hard to stay organised and focused with a busy life can't it?
However, let's not even talk about the past.......FRESH START.
I want to get back to where I felt much happier. I KNOW how much better I felt and don't know why I have been half heartedly p*ssing about so much the past 2 months!
So here I am, I have to try to always try to keep this food diary up to date as that always helps me!! I also know SW plan has changed, I used to follow RED mostly so I am really unsure about going to back to a group as they don't reference RED and GREEN now anyway, and the EE plan didn't really work for me. So I think just try to stick to the red principles, I need to re-read my books to remind about me HEA's and HEB's and will go from there....
Oh also, we move house in just over 2 weeks time so life is rather upside down at the moment but hey, there's never a good time to start is there?!

B - apple and a greek strawberry FF yoghurt.
L - 3 x ryvita with spicy tomato mackerel, sugar snap peas and cherry tomatoes, a banana.
D - bolognaise with griddled courgettes, I might have a small amount of pasta with mine too if I am extra hungry later to stop me wanting to snack at 9pm!

HEB - 3 x ryvita
Must also drink more water today! Going out tonight with friends for a catch up and a drink, will try to stick to spritzers or G&T and it won't be a late one anyway - I may still actually drive and just have diet coke but still TBC!

B - banana & FF yoghurt
L - ploughmans salad (we were out, will count cheese as HEA, would have guessed it was about 35g size and the bread and HEB even though it was a white farmhouse type loaf so not strictly right but not horrendous?!)
D - special chow mein (unorganised amongst packing stuff meant this was ordered late on Friday, I didn't even eat it all and did TRY to make a decent choice when I would normally have had lemon chicken and fried rice!!) I'll just guess that it's at least my 15 syns anyway...! We also had a couple of glasses of prosecco on Sat night!
HEA - cheddar
HEB - bread
Yeah, not a great day, because we were out and about (unexpectedly) and then just not organised at night! I did however resist Krispy Kreme donuts too!
Must try harder to be organised though, it really is when the plan falls apart if you are not. :-/

B - 2 small slice wholemeal toast with peanut butter and jam (think scrapings - I just REALLY fancied toast?!) 4 syns. Fresh mango slices.
L - nothing - was at my nephew's birthday party and did have a handful of popcorn and few crisps, and a little taste of his cake but nothing else!! Kids parties can be awful for grazing on about a million calories!!
D - Fecking chinese AGAIN as MIL "treated" us - arghhhhh! Lovely of her, but FFS. Anyway I had beef in black bean though and some noodles so again made a better choice than I might have before! I didn't have a huge portion either.
HEB - wholemeal bread
HEA - milk in tea
Syns - definitely all of them!!!
