Off We Go!

[CharlieMo]

Started following Extra Easy just over 3 weeks ago, and all's good so far - I've been writing down on paper, but can't be faffed typing it all up, so I'll start from today!

Breakfast: porridge (made with water, how I like it best!), with strawbs, blueberries, grapes and a banana

Well, it seems I've been rather useless at keeping this updated... I have been 100% every day except my birthday, when I went slightly over syns I think (a slice of my mum's homemade chocolate cake that I couldn't say no to!)

Today's been good:

Breakfast: Grapefruit and melon
Lunch: Wholemeal bread (HExB), 30g of cheddar cheese (HExA) and baked beans, leftover salad of lettuce and cherry tomatoes. Strawberries, melon and blueberries
Dinner: Super speed soup, turkey goulash, Muller light half frozen with raspberries.

Yet to use my syns today but have got into the pattern of a mug of Options and a Curly Wurly or a Kit Kat while watching the soaps!

I keep forgetting to do this! Have been 100% pretty much every single day since I started - had a day off on Easter Sunday, but apart from that have always been really good! Losses have started to slow down and I'm exercising more so will try and keep this up to date so I can see for sure that I'm not doing anything wrong.

Cup of black coffee, water with lemon, grapefruit and an Alpen Light (1/2 HExB).

Lunch: Bulgar wheat with veg. stock, beetroot, mushrooms, tomatoes, spring onions & cucumber, bowl of mixed fruit (strawberries, raspberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants, pineapple and mango).
