Le food d'aujourd hui... (I haven't spoken French since highschool so that might be a bit wrong-ish.)

B: coffee
L: jacket potato & beans, salad, tomatoes and cukes. coffee for afters
S: coffee. Yeesh. No wonder I'm buzzin!
D: rushed mugshot and poached egg, coffee. (Ha! Just kidding, I didn't have anymore coffee, just thought that would be funny...)
S: I know I know, I should have had some spinach and celery sticks here, but I didn't. After a fun day full of bleh food I wanted something yummy, so I had myself some choco-coconut oat cookies (hexB oats 35g and 11g of chocolate coconut options, egg, sweetener) and a glass of milk.

Totals:
Exercise - loads of walking today
Water - some. but not as much as the amount of coffee I had!
HexA&B milk, oats
Syns - 2

Hmmm, I'm tired so might hit the sack early. Had groceries delivered tonight, so will be loading up on superfrees to make up for the last few days. Third weekend of the Dryathlon! And still two more to go! I'm so glad I'm doing this - have raised over £100 on my own for Cancer Research, and have lost weight, proven that I don't need wine to relax, lowered my blood pressure, etc.
I was really feeling like a large glass of red a short while ago, but now I feel too tired. Weird actually, I'm not usually this tired this early - hope I'm not coming down with something!! Could also be that I haven't' eaten as much as I'm used to today... these were a nice treat tho.

Much better with the superfrees today, thank flip! Need some recipe inspiration, am going to do black bean soup tomorrow, but not sure about rest of the week.
I was just browsing around for recipes and ended up somewhere far away in cyberland on a recipe for Oreo® & Peanut Butter Stuffed Red Velvet Cup-cakes... except it's a recipe by The Vulgar Chef, so he didn't call them 'cup-cakes.' He's totally vulgar so it made me laugh, but looking at the cupcakes I though, Omigosh, I don't care how gross it sounds, I bet it would be sooooooooooo yummy. But no. No cupcakes for me. Maybe I will use up some remaining syns on a Lindt chocolate though... YOM, nom nom!

Totals:

Exercise - housework
Water - about 750 ml
HexA&B, crackerbread x 6 and babybel light x 3
Syns - 10 (including my lindt chocolate ball)

Morning. Off to our usual start here this morning. Fruit, cottage cheese and coffee for my breaky. This little guy has already tried and refused for different things... I had a bit of his orig Babybel, so I think I will have to count that as 1 syn.

 

[MoonbeamMama]

Oh dear lord, what have I done?? I wolfed this down before checking the syns. Have I seriously just used up almost all my syns on a sushi snack? I thought I saw someone post sushi as 4 syns somewhere... :-\

How many grams is the pack x

 

[bubble77]

189g of sushi rolls are 3.5 syns but thats marks and sparks couldnt find sainsburys but cant be far off. Tescos worst pack was only 6 syns. X

 

[MoonbeamMama]

Oh phew, I haven't looked it up my book yet, but that sounds better than the straight 1 syn/20 cal rule!
I couldn't find the weight in the pack, but according to the nutritional values I figured about 143g.

Sushi 2 syns per 100g

Should be 3 syns Hun x

 

[MoonbeamMama]

Whoo! That's awesome, thanks!
Yeesh, almost went off the rails today, thinking I had messed up! I've taken a few pics, but haven't written my food down and have been nibbly again today. :-(

Hope I don't leave anything out...

B; coffee, satsuma, cottage cheese (the dude commandeered my banana)
S; coffee
L; sushi (3 syns), then later, sainsburys beef ravioli.
S; sliced ham, bite of the dudes cheese toastie (2 syns?)
D; veggies, bowl of sausage and sweet potato soup, another couple slices of ham, Now having praline options (2 syns) quark with strawberries for dipping - lurrrvley!!
Am just going to check back on the day before I total, cuz I feel like I'm forgetting something...

Edit; yep, forgot the bite of Babybel 1 syn and also... I bought Choc Shot today, and didn't use it for anything but opened it so I could have a taste on my finger... Then I repeated said 'taste on my finger' about five times, so I'm going to count that as another 1 syn. I know others have ix'nayed it in the past, but I thought it was good! Of course it didn't taste like Galaxy or Lindt, but I don't think that's what they were aiming for - it just tastes like a lovely dark chocolate syrup. Can't wait to have it on pancakes or oat cookies, or, Ooh! I should have had it with my strawbs tonight! Ah well, next time...
Right, I think I still need my HexA and B so I might check out the cereal cupboard a little closer to bedtime...
