Got snacky .... 14 syns later! All semi healthy, but all with syn values - whoops!! This week just isn't happening ... I think it's cause of work! Got to the gym for 6.15, home at 8, cooked dinner and then just put my laptop away! Tomorrow and Thursday will be even worse and then Friday I'm in Portsmouth for a meeting 2-4, I live on a good drive, 3hours away bad week, that's not helping my diet!!
bad week, that's not helping my diet!!Todays food looks like this:
B: Melon, Pineapple and 35g low fat granola (HexB)
L: Jacket Potato with beans
D: Saucy beef stir fry with pasta (mushrooms, onions and peppers included for the veg!) I may top this with 40g light cathedral city for my HexA.
Snacks: Fruit throughout the day
Exercise: 45 mins Legs, bums and tums at the gym tonight
I also decided rather than hide from Saturdays syns i have tried to calculate it, and it came to a whopping 52 syns which was 4 glasses of wine and 2.5 slices of pizza once the wine had convinced me it was a good idea!! Eek! However scarily i feel better for calculating it as it means I know what i have done and how many syns i have left to take me through to WI on saturday morning! I am not hopeful for a loss as this week is going to be very high syn values for me, even if below the 105, but I feel i can now draw a line

Thanks Hun, it just feels awful for so little...piggy me haha!! Xx
Monday again....where do these keep coming from!!!
Food plan for today:
B: Grapes, blackberries and blueberries with mullerlight yogurt
L: Wholemeal roll (Hex B) with philly lighter (HexA), cucumber and tomato with a side of orzo pasta salad
D: Going to the harvester with a friend so plan on chicken, JP and salad
Snacks: Fruit
E: None today unfortunately other than a walk around town this lunchtime for 45 minutes!!
This weekend was really bad food wise - we were decorating and ended up working all weekend, so i am afraid a takeaway snuck in.....I have decided i am just out to sabotage myself!! Anyway decided not to punish myself and just crack on with the diet again today....this weekend will be even harder as Friday night i am off to London for dinner and a show, saturday we have our yearly family BBQ (my family are american.......they struggle with the concept of a salad!!) and then Sunday we have relations round ours for cocktails.......... there goes a loss this week then!! I am going to try and get to the gym as much as possible this week to counteract what I can, but I have to admit I am considering skpping the weighing next saturday and going straight through to the following week - hopefully by then it will be a loss over the 2 weeks!!
