Starting tomorrow I need to start writing down what im eating as for the past couple of weeks I havent been keeping track of it and I think im doing fine but im probably not-im also going to use this to keep a note of what exercise I have done each day. No point in writing what I ate today as we had a taster night at my weekly weigh in and I ate far too much yumminess to possibly begin to count the syns so starting afresh tomoro-feel free to have a nosy at my daily food intake and be critical if I am ballsing up somewhere, xxx

Feel quite bloated today think iv overdone it on the carbs-all free but still not good for me as carbs are my big downfall. Trying to be very good with my syns during the week as its my friends birthday on saturday and the wine alone will be ridiculously syn-ful so trying to get a good jump start to the week so hopefully whatever damage i do on saturday night wont be too detrimental.

Very VERY BOLD-havent updated all week, had a disasterous weekend and havent had the time or energy to update this week so far-put a 1/2 lb on at weigh in which i was happy enough with as i have been eating loads of bread and crap that i shouldnt be eating but tomoro is a brand new day and start of a brand new week so i am really going to go for it this week and stick 100% to plan!!

Great day so far today was off work so it was so much easier to plan meals and cook instead of grabbing something not so healthy!!

Breakfast; Two wheatabix (HEB) and milk (HEA)

Lunch; Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, olives (1 syn) gherkins and SW crustless quiche made with garden peas, tomatos, onions, eggs and low fat cottage cheese-yummy lunch!!

Dinner; Made SW spaghetti carbonara for the whole family and they loved it-Chicken, bacon, mushroom, onions, garlic and for the sauce i mixed quark and two beaten eggs with mixed herbs and a dash of parmesan cheese and mixed it in with the spag and chicken when it was cooked then sprinkled more parmesan cheese and bacon bits on the top-served with a large side of brocolli and carrots-delish!! (Going to count 4 syns for the parmesan just to be on the safe side-in total I used about 5 level table spoons of cheese for the whole lot and that fed four of us with some left for lunch tomoro but better safe than sorry)

Very full and satisfied
