Yesterday was a bit of a rubbish day and I didn't do too well food wise.

Breakfast - banana, activia ff yoghurt and a few grapes

Lunch - Made roast beef, yorkshire puds, veg, gravy, horseradish sauce etc and as was Easter Sunday was going to just eat the yorkies and horseradish and not worry about the syns too much, kind of a flexi day. However, once the meal was dished up and on the table me and hubby had a massive row over something silly and I lost my appetite. All I ended up having was a yorkshire pudding, a potato, bit of meat and half a glass of wine before I stormed off upstairs to sulk! Will guess at about 9 syns. (we've made up now by the way!)

Dinner - Because I'd cooked a roast earlier I couldn't be bothered to do anything much and hubby and my son were stuffing chocolate so I made some syn free pancakes with chopped banana and maple syrup (4 syns) as fancies something sweet and thought it might stop me reaching for the chocolate....didn't work though .....

Snack - 8 thorntons chocolates (? 3 syns each?? = 24)

Total syns - 37!!! Aaarrgghhh but it is easter and could have been much worse!!
