2. PLAN: Get Fit
3. DAY OF CHALLENGE: 1
4. PLAN: Red
5. Water: 2.6 litres plus two green teas (but with a huge bowl of soup, my internal organs are swimming lol)
6. CARBS TODAY: None
7. BODY MAGIC: Walked for half hour (just my normal as I know its a rest day)
8. TOTAL SYNS: 4.5 choc
9. SOUP: Butternut squash and carrot, red and yellow pepper, onion, black pepper and parsley. Part blitzed but the rest left chunky.

Really enjoyed my first day, I love soup anyway, so its no hardship. Looking forward to the rest of the week

Fab start L ! Glad your loving the switch from salads to soups . Think we've got the right weather for it now too . Well done on the water, although I know your doing Get Fit I have lowered it on Turbo to 2.5L because as you say I don't want us all swimming with the soup and water , 2.6 is good hun, but you''ll be good at 2L too . I'm loving your butternut squash soup, I'm the same as you, I like my soup part chunky part blended . Hope you enjoy day 2, good luck I know you'll do smashing xx

1. Date 29/9/2014
2. Cycle. Turbo
3. Day of challenge. One
4. Plan. Red
5. Water intake. 2l
6. Carbs today. None
7. Body magic. One hour essential walking!
8. Total syns 10 - the dreaded chocolate!
9. Soup : chicken and vegetable tom yum

Today was very nearly a disaster. Left OH in charge of soup and came back home to smoked Tom Yum! He had let it boil dry Lesson for me here I think . Certainly not worthy of a photo.

Kay - I'd prefer to do Get Fit this week - ease myself in gently.......

Hello hun well done on completing day 1 of your soup challenge. Aww sorry to hear about your soup, although Tom Yum is one of my favs, don't know how to make it though. No worries about the cycle hun, you've actually done a GET FIT day apart from the exercise, but I've noted it down that your doing GET FIT. Your right its probably better to ease into things this week . Well done for hitting the rest of your daily targets. I hope you enjoy this week and I look forward to your soup pics tomorrow, keep OH away from the kitchen hehe xx

Evening I have enjoyed my first day on Soup Challenge

1. DATE: Mon 29/09/2014
2. CYCLE : TURBO
3. DAY OF CHALLENGE: DAY 1
4. PLAN: RED
5. WATER INTAKE: 2L water & 1L NAS squash
6. CARBS TODAY: None
7. BODY MAGIC: 70 minute exercise DVD
8. TOTAL SYNS: 5.5 (Chewy D 4.5 & Muller Cheesecake 1)
9. SOUP: Cajun Chicken (chicken, leeks, red onion, green pepper, cajun spices & tabasco) and Pea & Bacon (split peas, leeks, carrots onions & bacon done in slow cooker whilst out at work)


Both soups tasted lovely but the pea one looked khaki coloured not green! Was planning different soups later in week but have vats of stuff with no room in freezer. So might be eating up these two first!

Lots of fab soups so far by everyone

ETA - think might have gone wrong already as split peas not free on red! But its ok cause haven't eaten my Syns yet so will work out syns in my peas and count those instead! I've never done red before

Oh wowzers ! Shelley, I'm loving your Soups ! They both look delicious ! Well done on a fab start to the challenge hun. And your doing Turbo with me and CG, woohoo ! You've done fab hitting all your targets. Yep peas need to be syned on Red, well spotted, but it shouldn't be too much. Your right about the soups lasting, those of us that did the challenge last year found that one soup can last up to 3 days, I normally have the same x2 days running as I don't want food wastage. But at the same time the great thing about being able to freeze them and have them later in the week is that you can rotate your soups and you won't get bored having the same one over and over . I hope you enjoy day 2, looking forward to your post tomorrow hun xx
