Hi guys,:wavey:
I'm new on here and ever so glad I found this site!
I joined SW last Wed (16/3/11) and was absolutely distraught to discover my weight was 15.1 stone!!! Heaviest I have EVER been. I knew I had put on weight, but didn't realise I was as heavy as that!
I am now determined to get down to a healthier and happier weight!
Anyway, I thought I'd post up my food diary as you guys seem to be experts and I'm still getting my head around it to be honest!
Day 1 -Thursday - EE
B: 28g Ready Brek (HeB) with 100ml semi skimmed milk (HeA) (that was all I had left!) and the rest water (not so good, I don't reccomend it!!!!)
Plus Orange.
L: Tinned Spaghetti followed by another orange and a muller light.
S: Gave in to a digestive biscuit in work 3.5 syns
Dinner (or Tea as we call it in my house!): Jacket Potato with baked beans and 15g cheese - I used this as I'd only had 100ml of milk from my healthy A choice. Is it ok to mix them up? It didn't say not to in the book so figured it was ok.
Had 2 spoonfuls of marg on my potato at 3 syns.
Total syns = 6.5
Day 2 - Friday - EE
B: 28g Ready break with 200ml Semi Skimmed milk (HeB and HeA) plus an apple
L: 2 egg ommlette followed by a banana.
D: Syn free chips (yum!!) with bacon (all fat trimmed off) and an egg fried in fry light.
Followed by an apple.
S: Tesco Light Choices lemon cake - 3.5 syns.
Total syns = 3.5
Day 3 - Satuday
B/L = syn free chips, bacon (no fat), fried egg and baked beans followed by a banana and an apple.
D: Spaghetti Bolognaise (lean mince with all the fat drained out of the pan), carrots, onions, 2 mushrooms, garlic (all that was left again!!). follwed by a banana.
S: As we had tea earlier than normal at about 10pm I had 28g Ready Brek with 200ml milk.
Syns:
Lemon Cake 3.5 x 2 = 7 (oops!!)
Tic Tacs - 1.5
Ketchup - 1.5
one tablespoon parmesan - 1.5
Jelly Sweets (recipe found on here!) 1.5
Total = 12 syns
Day 4 -Sunday - Today.
B: 28g Ready Brek with 250ml milk followed by a banana.
S: Boiled runny egg
L: Have got a chicken roasting in the oven, but OH has just basted it with a load of I can't Believe its not Butter so am considering bypassing the chicken as I don't know how I would syn that? I told him not to mess with my cooking and does he listen?!! GRRR.
Am not thinking I could make this a Green day as I'm not all that big on meat anyway.
Also having Roast Potatoes (using fry light - figured that would make them syn free like the chips?), potato mash, carrots, swede and probably peas.
Any advice on today's lunch would be great!! I do have weight watchers pork sausages in the fridge that I think are 3 points each?? so I could have one of those instead of weighing out chicken/working out the syns and still be following green - is that right?
Confused
I've been shopping this morning and made sure I picked up a bit more variety of fruit - pineapple, plums, bananas, apples and tangerines. Budget didn't stretch to any berries which I was gutted about but think I wil try and pick some up mid week once I have made a dent in all this fruit!
Am not a massive veg fan and my SW Leader told me that If I didn't want superfree veg with a meal I could just have fruit straight after instead and it would still count. Picked up some nice salad today aswell though so I can make a few salads to take into work for lunch now the weather is a bit nicer.
Anyway, I've droned on enough now - sorry!!
Any advice/comments are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rachy
