Soooo.. if you can see the pic above you will all know why I am relieved at a STS today. Have stopped writing down as much but I am going to restart. Got nice new pad today and back t owriting it ALL down! I lost very well my first few weeks doing it this way, basically because I had to be honest with myself. I am back fresh today and motivated (for now at least!). And even though I have STS my uniform feels much bigger now so I regretting never doing measurements! Also my jeans were falling down walking up stairs to changing room this morning not a pretty sight but I felt delighted haha!

I had a great family based weekend and made some bad choices but also I didn't go as crazy as I would have before SW. I still have a totally different attitude towards food.

Saturday - Ladies day in our family, I had lunch out (see above cake) but had ham salad sandwich for lunch. Dinner we went out to indian buffet but I was still so full I barely managed anything!
Sunday - Family day out, had breakfast of HEB bread and bacon medallions, late lunch/early dinner subway salad (syns for sauce) and that was my day eating.

Today I am prepped to be on plan. Does anyone feel they see a difference in weight loss with their syns ie do they tend to lose more when they use 15 or 0? I find I usually lose more when I use my syns but this may be coincidence?

Wee snapshot of my morrisons shop... Can tell I'm on SW lol. And my dinner. Only ate 3 pieces of garlic bread (4syns) was too full!

 

[MilliesMummyx]

Happy bank holiday weekend everyone!

Been out all day. Subway salad is all I have had "food" wise (far too hot!)

Sunday treat was half a French fancy from aulds. Looked up the info online and full cake was 150 calories? So 7.5 syns and I had half so call it 4 so be safe? Yum well worth it.

3lbs off yesterday! Which was a miracle considering my naughty moments throughout the week. I was a bit naughty yesterday too as me and my dad took little one to the fair. She had a great time and I stole a few chunks of toffee popcorn and at night I had a mr kipling apple pie and custard. SO worth the 15syns lol (I'm gonna say another 3syns for the popcorn making a total of 18syns!) But it was a bank holiday after all... Will update this properly later in the day. I am back at work now and back to a routine so will be on here more often again Natalie x

Well done on your weight loss!

I'd like to start this post by screaming ITS A MIRACLE, Scottyland has been roasting for a full week. Its great. We have a lovely garden at my new work so for lunch we sat outside and I've actually turned a slight shade of pink (red but I'm playing it down cos I should really know better working in a cancer centre... lol) I normally go lovely golden brown but I guess scottish sun isn't as kind as Spanish sun lol.

I wil then move onto my confession. I was awful last night. After 'ending' day on 8.5 syns my OH came home with pizza! The food of the devil (my favourite food ) and I ate 2 slice which is roughly 12 syns for them both so it took me 20.5! I went to bed so annoyed and angry at myself (whilst licking the yummy cheese taste off my lips!). It was bitter sweet. Yes I enjoyed it, but deep down I knoq i enjoy the number on the scales dropping more. So the rest of the week I need to be super good because I'm slipping further off the wagon. Line was drawn and today has been successful so far- even turned down chocolate and an ice cream lolly!

Breakfast - pink lady apple, white coffee
Lunch - baked potato, tuna mayo (2), salad - mixed leaves, cucumber, onion. And some coleslaw (4) diet bru

Not sure about dinner, thinking chicken salad cos its too hot for full on dinner.

 

[MilliesMummyx]

Dinner was chicken done on griddle pan with fry light and mixed spices. Does anyone else find fry light makes pan go black?? Yuck. Had that with a lovely big bright rainbow salad. 2 syns of salad cream.

Pudding was my HeB, had 35g stewed apples (couldn't remember how much I could have and just fancied a little hope it wasn't above allowance) and 1/4 tub of tesco fresh custard. Aprox 5 syns? (14 for full tub so over guestimating) Yum

Total syns today - 13 when your too hungry to take pic to start eating first... Oops!
