Hello!
I deleted my old food diary twice because the pressure was getting too much and frankly, I was fed up of hearing myself moaning about not sticking to plan!
I restarted on Monday 17th October and hopefully I can stay with it a bit better this time- have managed four days and that's better than previous efforts let me tell you!
Food has been on plan. Not even mostly. It HAS been on plan, 100%.
I have learned that I need to be prepared to prevent shoving a sandwich on a plate at lunchtime and chips in the oven for dinner. Dusting off the slow cooker and planning, planning, planning.
I've also (since Monday) avoided processed sugary things. I know we can have them (synned of course) but it wreaks havoc with my hunger and I waste syns on crap food. So I'm aiming for more natural stuff with the odd bit of sugar free jelly/sweetener. Not quite ready to cut ties with that yet!
So here I am, ready to start posting again and with a little luck I will get back to target (around 9lbs to lose) and stay there for longer than 5 minutes.
Today I have had a Green Day. I like Green- I appreciate the additional healthy extras and enjoy vegetarian food. It looked like this:
Breakfast: Shreddies and milk (hexa1 & hexb1)
Lunch: 2 apples (whilst picking them!) and curry style rice. Alpen (hexb2)
Dinner: Pasta with Quorn chicken, mushrooms, onions and cheese on top (hexa2)
No syns yet. I might have a full fat strawberry Greek yoghurt later if I want it. I think these are 4 syns but I don't have access to syns online (Lidl Greek yoghurts don't yield anything on Google other than the free 'greek style fat free' ones).
Phew! If you made it to the end, hats off to you
