I've never done SW before and I'm not able to go the meetings. I wish I could but I just can't right now. I have the food optimising book and this site to help me. I have a ton of weight to lose (about 9 stone) so I really just need to alter my eating for life rather than this being a temporary diet.
I've only been doing this for two days and I'm aware that I may not be doing it as well as I might (for example I've had hardly any Syns). So I'd be very, very grateful for any help, advice or suggestions on how to improve my diary from those more experienced.
Here we go yesterday was a tentative start:
Easy Extra
B- black coffee (went out after school run and thought I was returning – not a great start)
L – 10 cherry tomatoes, 3 spring onions, garlic, 1 boiled egg, half tin tuna in spring water and 1 small cup of cous , an apple, green tea
T – potatoes chipped and baked with frylight, egg fried in fry light lots of mushrooms, tomatoes, onions garlic in frylight. Banana and satsuma
S – 3 original ryvita with 2 extra light laughing cow triangle (HE + HE) 2 banana, 1 satsuma
Nb: according to book HEa = 6 x laughing cow extra light, HEb= 4 ryvita original
Syns- 1 extra ryvita and cottage cheese about 2.5 syns
Exercise – school runs only. (twice there and back today)
Today so far:
January 11th - Easy Extra
B – Back coffee, half tin light choice beans, egg cooked in frylight, 1 small banana, apple
L – homemade butternut squash soup, homemade hummous and carrot sticks, satsuma and grapes
T-kedgeree (haddock, brown rice, peas, mushrooms, onion) served with broccoli) 1 Mullerlight strawberry cheesecake yoghurt - 1syn
s- 4 ryvita (HEb) with 2 laughing cow extra light triangles (HEa), 1 banana, 1 Mullerlight new york cheesecake yoghurt 1 syn.
= 2 syns in total
I think I should probably be eating more syns.
