Finding inspiration
So I did it. I recorded everything I ate. Here's me thinking I never use up all my syns. I was doing a red day... and I had chicken for my tea last night but didn't really have much in to go with it, so decided to have a small baked potato (3oz) and some peas (2oz), and some gravy, which is all I had in. So I dutifully weighed them out and recorded the syns. At the end of yesterday, I had clocked up 11.5 syns. And that's without having anything indulgent, like chocolate or ketchup or an extra HiFi bar for a sweet treat later. I did consider changing it to an Extra Easy day, and seeing if the syns value went down, but decided the whole point of the exercise was to actually observe what I'm eating and being honest with myself about the syns I'm consuming. So I stuck with red day, just for the sake of the experiment.
Interesting that when I don't write things down, which I've gotten out of the habit of, how much I'm actually eating and then putting out of my mind. I was surprised to get up to 11.5 syns. I thought I was lower than that. I was indeed kidding myself!
Oh boy... this is going to be a good week. I can't wait for this week's weigh in!
