Morning all! Just a quick post this morning as I'm beavering away with school work. I think I'm going to end up going slightly over syns this week as my aunt's coming down and my mum's decided we're having lasagne (with proper bechamel sauce :() At least if I have a green day I can use two HexAs towards the sauce so the syns are slightly reduced. As it stands it's only 2 syns over the 105, so hopefully those 40 calories won't have too much of an impact for tomorrow's WI :)


EDIT: Dinner changed, so I haven't gone over syns, wooo! :D

Thanks ladies! I lost 1lb, so I'm pleased with that. One pound off is better than 1lb on :D I didn't quite hit my target of 7lb off over the summer holidays, and I don't think it's going to be a very good week this week as my brother's getting married tomorrow. Hmmm! We're only going for a meal and a few drinks though so I'll just have to try to make the best choice that I can :)

The stuffed marrow was lush...it was stuffed with a mince, onion, pepper, tomato and paprika stuffing bound with an egg. We cut the marrow into rings and cored them, then baked the stufifng in the rings. They were a nice change :) We served them with a tomato and pepper sauce, so very SW friendly in the end :)
 
Friday 24th August (EE)

Not a lot to report today, other than I lost 1lb this week :) I also had my hair highlighted this morning, ready for the winter, wooo! It's my brother's wedding tomorrow, so I'm going to have to try to make the best possible choices in terms of food and drink. We're only going to a restaurant for a meal, so I can hopefully choose something quite SW-friendly to eat. The alcohol is probably more likely to be a problem, although I'm not drinking like I did on the hen do, bleurgh!


Today's food diary is as follows:


Breakfast:

None as I was at the hairdressers for over 2 hours!

Lunch:

Homemade tomato, pepper and basil soup
2 x wholemeal bread made into a ham sandwich (HexB)
EL spread - 2 syns
Quavers - 4.5 syns

Supper:

Fish pie - HexA + 5 syns

Snacks:

1 ginger nut biscuit - 2 syns



Today's syns: 13.5

Evening lovelies!! I'm back, wooo! :D Not that I was away for long, but there we go :) The wedding was lovely yesterday...after telling myself I wasn't going to cry I did get a bit sniffly, oops! Ah well, it was a very happy occasion...I think a few sneaky tears are allowed!

As anticipated, it wasn't a very good day in terms of the diet. Lots of yummy food, and lots of syns spent on drink mean that I have no syns left this week, oops! I didn't have a hangover though today - result! Haha! I'm going to draw a line under the weekend's syns and carry on as normal...if I can eat fairly low-syn meals this week then maybe the gain won't be too massive on friday. I'm not even going to hope for a STS or a loss, but at least I'll have a bloomin good reason for the gain! Hopefully the wedding will be a once in a lifetime event for my brother, so a bit of weight gain is nothing in the scheme of things :)

Back to writing a diary tomorrow...tatty byes for now! :)
 
Monday 27th August (Red)

Morning all! Well I made the mistake of getting on the scales to see the damage the weekend had done...3lb on since I weighed myself on Friday morning! :eek: Gutted.com!! Now I know that I can't rely on daily weigh-ins for an accurate result, but I really don't think that the weekend warranted a 3lb gain. No way did I over-eat and drink by over 10,000 calories! :cry:

Oh well, I guess I'd better just be as good as possible and eat lots of healthy salads this week. I've accepted the fact that I'm going to gain this week, so I'll just have to be extra good next week. It'll help being back in school, as I'm less tempted to keep snacking between meals. I'll also be able to plan my meals properly, as when I'm home with my parents I try to not rock the boat too much by making completely different meals for myself all the time, which can become quite synful if they decide to have something like macaroni cheese or lasagne! :eek:

Today's food diary is as follows:


Breakfast:

None - I had a bit of a lie in this morning

Lunch:

Porridge (HexB)
Sliced banana
Milk (1/2 HexA)

Supper:

Chicken
Salad - lettuce, tomato, cucumber, pepper, grapes, pickled onions, fresh pineapple
EL salad cream - 2 syn
45g RF cheddar (HexA2)

Snacks:

Pineapple
Nectarine



Today's syns: 2
