Today's been OK made some wise choices, and some could've been better choices..
Walked a bit as well so that's good body magic!

Breakfast:
50g branflakes (2x HexB)
Milk (HexA1)
banana
decaff coffee

Snack:
Apple

Lunch:
King prawns with green salad
sliced melons and pineapple

Snack:
apple
banana
iced coffee (with milk from allowance)
Feast ice cream (14 syns!!!!!)

Dinner:
banana
big bowl of couscous with fat free creme fresh
1/2 a pear

Total syns: 14

Although I'm within allowance, I was planning on keeping my syns to between 0 - 6 syns a day...
Feast seems like an innocent choice.. compared to say, Mars or Snickers - which I love - but actually it has much more than them..even magnum almond or a cornetto would've contained less syns. Oh well.. enjoyed it still!
 
That's what we are all here for :)!
 
I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT I'm 2lbs down after not having one single day of feeling hungry!
I almost cried when I saw the scales pointing to 11stones 2lbs or 70kg (I follow metric system) taking me almost a month before my first target's deadline!!!
This really inspires me to continue and makes me look forward getting into the 10 stones zone (or the 60's kg zone).

50g branflakes (HexB x2)
Semi skimmed milk (HexA 1)
Decaff coffee

Yes it was a very greedy breakfast.. I actually over estimated my appetite for breakfast and ended up having it in stages.
I still haven't eatten the yogurt and berries.. a bit too tarty for my liking..and I wasn't that hungry..

I did go off the rails with snacks though.. :( oh well, will stick to allowed food for dinner..

Oh God..
My OH had to leave friday evening as something came up.. He was going to stay away overnight..so I just watched tv, browsed the web and made another cup of decaff coffee...
another cup of coffee and 2 hours later I raided the biscuit tin and binged on probably 8 rich tea biscuits, 3 bourbons and 1 milky way bar bringing it to somewhere around 32 syns..plus the syns from earlier.. so it's a total of about 53.5 syns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scales already showing I've put on 1 lbs
 
Breakfast:
decaff coffee
2 tesco wheatbiscuits (HexB1)
Semi skimmed milk (HexA 1)

Snack:
apples, Muller yogurt

Lunch:
Grilled chicken breast salad or tuna nicoise salad

Dinner:
Speeeeeeeeeeeed soup (celery, carrots, maybe cabbage, onion and tinned chopped tomato)
apple


Soooo, this is the "plan".. I really hope I don't rebel again. I also wonder if it's because I exercised, I'm secretly justifying having more treats?
