Let's hope it helps

Right, so yesterday evening didn't go exactly to plan. My husband came back from 5 days away with work and wanted to treat me to a Toby Carvery (such a generous man ).
I had:
Gammon
Turkey
1 yorkshire pudding (a small one is 3.5 I think so at least 7 syns I would say)
2 roast potatoes (3 syns???)
brocoli, carrots, peas
1 tbsp mustard (1 syn)

After that we came home and had some champagne: 3 glasses so 16.5 syns

Starting afresh today (get the impression I say that a little too often!)

Breakfast:
2 boiled eggs
2 slice wholemeal bread

Lunch will be:
Sushi (3.5 syns)
mango
melon

Don't know about dinner yet.

Menu's look good Kibou, count the champagne from your weekly allowance and just have a few less syns each day . I couldn't have resisted either x

 

[kibou1]

Thanks Eternalflame. Will do that although with going on holiday on Thursday I'm going to struggle to cut down syns. We'll be self-catering as I have a small baby and I don't want to give her jars all the time...So really if I buy fruit and veg for her I can eat some too.

 

[kibou1]

Here's the rest of my food diary for today:
Lunch:
I did have what I said I would (sushi, melon and mango)

Afternoon snack:
A 30g pack of snack-a-Jack caramel (7 syns)
some more Melon and some slices of ham (not together!)

Evening:
Chicken
SW potato wedges (with chili powder and paprika)
Salad (lettuce, beetroot, tomatoes and cucumber)
1 tbsp extra light mayonaise (1 syn)

TOTAL SYNS: 11.5

Hello everyone!
Just to let you know I'm off on holiday so I won't be able to go on here. I hope I'll be able not to go too crazy. Thinking I'll try to limit myself to one big treat a day (ice cream one day, wine the other)...We'll see how I'll manage!

Enjoy your hols!!

Hi All,
Back from holiday and got weighed: put on 7 pounds ...Not really surprising given what I ate and drank for a week but still, didn't think it would be so bad. I counted that I was having about 50 syns a day between meals, baguette for breakfast (when it wasn't croissant), an ice cream or dessert a day (and I thought I had control since I was sticking to one a day :8855 and the alcohol (normally not bothered about drinking but this week I had at least half a bottle of wine a day, just as well it was only one week otherwise I would have come back alcoholic!!!)
Anyway, I'm back on the plan since yesterday. Unfortunately we had a family get together with a barbecue but I have been very good I think:a piece of chicken (that had a marinade on so probably a few syns) and my homemade burgers, one wholemeal roll and some vegetable kebabs and salad.
Anyway, I'll start the menus from today:

Breakfast:
2 WW sausages (1 syn), 1 tbsp ketchup (1syn), 1 slice wholemeal bread (HEB), mushrooms, tomatoes, egg fried in frylight.

Lunch:
Green beans, mushrooms, potatoes
1 tbsp extra light mayo (1 syn)
one banana, one vanilla yogurt

Snack:
one solero (5syns)

Tonight is going to be a chicken curry with rice (free on EE)

 

[kibou1]

Change of plan, chicken wasn't defrosted so instead had spaghetti bolognese (mince, tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots, celery, herbs) + 14g parmesan (1/2 HEA).

Before that I had a snack of 1 scan bran (1/2 syn) with lots of ham, laughing cows (3 extra light, 1/2 HEA) and gherkins.
Also had a pear and an apple in the afternoon.
Going to have a mullerlight now

TOTAL SYNS: 8.5

Have also walked round the park all morning and have arranged to go for a long walk with a friend tomorrow too. Body Magic should help.

Weigh in tomorrow as well so don't want to make it any worse than it is

 

[kibou1]

Can anybody tell me what "rep power 1" mean?
Also I can see I have been "thanked" and would like to do the same on some posts but can't figure out how.

 

[kibou1]

Well, I'm proud of myself, I didn't have anything naughty last night...just an activia fat free yogurt.
Weigh in in a few hours, hoping for a good loss to get rid of holiday excess quickly.

 

[kibou1]

I'm over the moon: I have lost 4.5 pounds this week. Only 3 to go to get rid of holiday excess. Really pleased. Hope I can keep it going. I've bought the new magazine and I'm going to spend some time this afternoon looking at all the recipe and planning my meals for next week.
