Thanks. I batch cook a couple of nights a week then just reheat the rest of the week. Don't mind eating the same thing a few nights in a row.
I'm not sure about the nag yog but will give it a try.
I'm good at except sore shoulders from the 30 day shred. Are you better?

Thanks! I've been told a few times I'm not having enough syns but I keep losing and don't miss them - I use them if I want too- so don't think I'll change that! I wonder if the change to natural yoghurt helped? I've added sweetener and vanilla essence to it so it tastes better now!!

Exercise: day 16 level 2 30 day shred

Thoughts:
Very pleased that I took my food to my brothers and was able to stick 100% to plan.
massively want 1.5lbs this week to get me back within target range (group will then be free)
If I achieve 1.5lbs loss this week I'd like the same next week to give me some leeway for a gain for my birthday week when I'll be 100% off plan for at least 3 days
Very pleased I got to exercise today as it was unexpected
Have asked for flowers rather than an egg which I'm really looking forward to as I never get flowers and don't really rate Easter eggs! Might steal a bit of his egg for some syns though but I doubt it! EDIT Oops, I did!

Friday EE

Breakfast: porridge, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, nat yog, sweetener, vanilla esssence

Snack: banana, plum, apple

Lunch: superspeed soup, pear, plum, clementine

Dinner: stuffed butternut squash gratin, garlic prawns. 1 caramel bunny (5 syns)

Total syns: 5

Exercise: none :-(

Thoughts:
Had a good day food wise
was given the caramel bunnies as a present, someone in the office got one for everyone, felt bad about getting me one but didn't want to leave me out! I decided rather than just give it away I'd check the syns - for 1 it's only 5 so I knew I could have one quite happily and did so. It was lovely!
Weighed this morning, I know I shouldn't but it doesn't generally affect what I do with my food. I was gutted to have out on again but hoping its just a one off. Probably won't weigh again til Monday now.
My new Jillian Michaels DVDs came today so looking forward to finishing the 30 day shred so I can start the new one

Exercise: day 20, level 2 30 day shred

Thoughts
very pleased with myself for making my lunch today. Didn't fancy my superspeed soup and my other option was jacket pot with beans so I'd have had no superfree. Pleased I went with something yummy and full of superfree.
Proud of myself for completing level 2 of the 30 day shred today, looked at level 3 which looks awful!
Tried my bridesmaid dress on today, worried that it now looks a little big. OH suggested putting weight back on! Think I might need to have it taken in but will try a padded bra first!
So on that note plan for next week is to have a bra fitting for a bra to go with the bridesmaid dress and one for exercise. Actually maybe I'd better wait for the bridesmaid one in case I get to target and then drop it another 7 lbs.

haven't drunk enought today
worried about tomorrow. Got book club which I thought was at wagamamas but it's at Caroline's house and she's doing pizza. I've told her I'll not eat much and am planning to eat before I go. Will then have 1 slice of pizza and won't drink so syns should be ok. Was going to drive but think I'll walk to get in my exercise.
