Sunday
Breakfast
Cornflakes and milk (HA+HB)
Toast and dairylea light (HB)
Lunch
Egg fried rice made with fry light, egg, onion, garlic and left over rice, served with a quorn peppered steak - it was scrummy and free 1.5 ww fromage frais for pudding

Potatoes, brocolli, gravy (2 syns), quorn gujons (2syns?), carrots, onions fried in frylight
Snacks
Milk in drinks (HA), grapes, 2 chocs (2 syns), 2 cans Gaymers apple cider...(not sure but will count 8 each) seems a bit of a waste, I could have had supper for less but I just fancied the cider. It was lovely chilling in the bath with a can and reading my book - drinking can no 2 now.

Exercise - housework i.e. vacuming, cleaning/sweeping floors, cleaning bathroom, washing, pegging out, fetching in, tidying up, sweeping patio and yard - all very productive and I am shattered so it must count!

Thanks and good morning
I am up bright and early, got a pot of sauce from the freezer last night for lunch and will buy a jacket spud to have with it at lunch. Feeling organised!
I don't think I can wait for breakfast at work today at 9.30am (the toast and hummous) so I will have 1 weetabix in a mo to tide me over. I find if I can breakfast at work though a bit later, I last better until lunchtime.
Will probably get offered another choc chip cookie at work today but will try to limit it to 1! They are very nice.
No exercise planned - it will be easier once I have joined the gym - I plan to go at least once at the start of the week (either Mon/Tues/Wed) and stick with the zumba on Thursday nights. I am going to join on Thurs and have my induction booked for Friday. If I only go twice per week, ie once to a class and once to the gym, it will cover the cost of joining (as against paying as I go). Any extra is a bonus (I will try to go at the weekend too).
Wednesday
Breakfast
1 weetabix and milk (0.5 HA & 0.5 HB)
Toast and hummous (1 HB)
Lunch
Jacket potato with 1 point pasta sauce from freezer and natural cottage cheese
Tea
Half a portion of mushroom chow mein, half a portion of egg fried rice and half a pot of black pepper sauce (am going to count 12 syns), 2 pints of bitter (16 syns)
Snacks
WW fromage frais, milk in drinks (HA), Choc chip cookie (3 syns)
Total syns...31 syns...
Total exercise...None

Monday
Breakfast
Cereal and milk (HA & HB)
Lunch
OK - we walked about 2 miles each way to the pub and back but all ideas of a diet coke went out of the window! I had a cheesy chip cob with mayo and salad cream and 3 pints of larger and lime - it was lovely!
Tea
Morrisons Eat smart vegetable chilli and rice, sliced tomato
Not bothering to try and count syns accurately - I know it was a lot! Probably about 40. Lots of walking though so should compensate a bit.
