Sat 12th March Green Day

B: 2 x quorn sausages + egg wholemeal roll (heb) with ketchup (1 syn) 2 x tea with splash of milk (part hea) grapes
L: banana, strawberries, blueberries with 2 x FF yogs. Cup of tea with another splash of milk (part hea)
D: SW carbonara made with quark + parmesan (hea), instead of bacon i am going to use some quorn and then make myself some HM garlic bread (Heb). Hope this is good as i ahve never made it with quork before.

Bit slow on the water up take today better get on that!

Having our friends over tonight for a catch up and maybe a cheesy 80's movie. Maybe "Night at the Roxbury" which i have never seen. Going to have a couple of beers i think, have bought some coors light for the occasion which i think is either 4 or 4.5 syns a bottle.

Dinner was really good, will defo be making it again. I also made SW style bruschetta instead of garlic bread and it went down a treat!
Had two bottles of coors light tonight (9 syns). About 4 crisps lol (1 syn). I ended up having to have a small bowl of left over carbonara to stop me from nibbling the crisps but it worked!

Syns today 11
Total so far this week: 24

Wednesday 16th March Green day

B: 2 x wholemeal (HEB) + smidgen of flora light, banana + FF yog, 2 x tea + splash of skimmed milk (part HEA)
L: Last of the quorn sausage and bean pie was in the fridge (left overs from monday night when i couldnt finish what was on my plate lol) + 1 slice wholemeal (3 syns). Alpen light bar (half HEB)
Snack: Second Alpen light bar and cup o tea (part HEA)
D: Tonight will be SW quorn lasagne (second HEA for the cheese) + salad + SW coleslaw (1 syn).

Off to the gym shortly where i will hopefully be doing half an hour on the x trainer, a legs, bums and tums and a body combat class. May seem a tad extreme but its only my second visit of the week and i am determined to lose my 1 pound again on Fri. I will also drink a bucket load of water

I am thinking of doing this "30 day shread", have seen some girls talking about it on the forums and it is meant to be amazing. Anyone heard of it or done it?

 

[Ali*]

Ooh you are golden doing all that exercise ... put me to shame

Keep up the good work - I'm sure you'll get a good result on Friday :cross:

Had about 1200 ml water today plus a couple of coffees and a diet coke. Dinner was left overs from last night, 1 syn for the SW coleslaw.

Had an outing with my patients today, we went to fish and chip restaurant for lunch. I wasnt at all feeling sad i couldnt have anything. Quite happy infact but a male collegue kept insisting i let him buy me something (and my other collegue who is trying really hard to lose weight at the moment for health reasons) we both said no and i was really quite firm, yet polite about it. Said i had my lunch waiting for me back at work. Thought i had made myself clear but the next thing i know my female collegue is holding a pastie supper (a pastie is a weird northern irish thing, not what we would call a pastie in the rest of the uk). ARRGGGHHH!! I know he was trying to be nice but i really didnt want it, i will be lucky to lose a pound tomorrow as it is. I spent the next 20 minutes sneaking chips onto my patients plates and every now and then took a chip when he was looking so that he thought i was eating them! How terrible, i felt like i had an eating disorder or something it was ridiculous!

Anyway rant over!
Syns today: 8.5 + 3 chips
Total 51!
