Having an odd day today, feel like crying all the time! Watched the NTA from last night and cried at the clips from Doctor Who and the Olympics haha... What the hell is wrong with me?! NEED to go to the doctors and get myself sorted out with the pill etc because if this is another period coming on (sorry for TMI haha!) then this is the third/fourth this month Sick and tired of it now!
Anyway, it's also meaning I'm craving all things bad, especially the cherry pie that my dad bought yesterday that's sitting in the kitchen just calling to me! Trying to be good and avoid it, especially as it's WI tomorrow morning, but might try and find a syn value for a tiny tiny slice to see if that calms my cravings Also have leftovers of my couscous and salmon from yesterday thank god, so off to dish that up for lunch which will hopefully distract me for a good while! Not sure what I'll be having for dinner yet, but will update later
24/1/13
Breakfast - Mushroom and ham omlette/mess! With tomato sauce (put 1tbsp on the plate but only had half so 0.5 syns).
Lunch - Sweet chilli salmon (1.5 syns) with vegetable couscous (1.5 syns).
Dinner - Smoked salmon, potato salad (1 syns - made with FF greek yoghurt, paprika, red onion, mustard powder and about 3/4 tbsp salad cream), gherkin, pickled onion.
Snacks - 2x coffee with 20ml milk (1/2 HexA), fairy cake (4 syns), chocolate cookie (6.5 syns).

Charl, wish I was strong enough to go cold turkey with chocolate haha! I go through phases of loving it then hating it, so hopefully I'll stop loving it again soon Ah it is so depressing! It's all little things but it all adds up and when your hormones are everywhere anyway, makes you feel even worse! Can't stop crying lately haha! Yup, need to see the doctor... Cringe!
Hey Emmy! Welcome, and thanks - I need all the support I can get haha!
Managed to lose 5lbs this week so I'm ecstatic Think some of it is weight I lost last week but it didn't show cause of TOTM, but regardless I feel good about it! Means I'm back down to my original goal of 11st with only 1 stone left to lose! Very happy
Having a day off plan today - I know some people say not to do this, but I seem to manage and still lose, but this will be my trial week - if I still lose next week after having today off plan then I might continue to have WI day off Some of the things I'm looking forward to enjoying today - white bread and cinnamon rolls haha! And alcohol! Yum Won't post food diary on here today as it'll just be terrible and full of bad things, but am around to chat and will be back to posting my diary tomorrow! x

I'm quite impressed with myself today! I went to the cinema this morning for a free preview of Wreck it Ralph I'd managed to get tickets to and didn't once stray from the saintly water and grapes I'd bought in with me! I don't think I have ever managed to do that yet since being on SW, so it was quite an achievement I came straight home afterwards (despite hunger gnawing at me and various bakeries, chocolate shops etc surrounding me!) and put together some lunch which I'm just about to go eat - quark and sweet chilli sauce stuffed chicken breast wrapped in bacon, with crispy potatoes (SW style!) green beans and some gravy Yum!
I'm going to a coffee shop later for a book club meeting so will have to watch myself again whilst there - going to treat myself to up to 2 coffees with milk (haven't had a HexA yet so that's covered) but stay away from cakes! Wish me luck...
27/1/13
Breakfast - Leftover wedges (1 syn for oil and I know this isn't the best breakfast but I was in a rush!).
Lunch - Chicken breast stuffed with 1tbsp quark and 1/3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce (0.5 syns) with crispy potatoes, green beans and gravy (0.5 syns).
Dinner - Chicken, mushroom and spinach potato topped pie (1/2 HexA for light soft cheese).
Snacks - 1 carrot cake (1.5 syns), 3 Ritz crackers (3 syns), coffee with milk (Half HexA?), meringue nest (2.5 syns).
Syns - 6.5 today - 14.5/105 weekly

Aw thanks I was pretty happy haha! Yeah, I did wonder where you'd got to but I have a lot of friends who go to uni so I assumed it was the usual bogged down with work Yup, still going strong, thank god! How are you doing?? xx
So I managed to survive the coffee shop experience! Had one small coffee with milk which I'll count as half a HexA, though it was definitely less... Going to make a potato topped pie for dinner, just got to get in the kitchen and get cooking, that's the worst bit! Once I'm started it'll be fine Had a really nice evening though at my book club - was the first time we'd ever met each other but it was really nice to have intelligent conversations for an hour or two! We decided on a book to read, so once I'm finished with my Game of Thrones books I'll give that a try x

Ooh meant to add to that as well - the sweeteners I got at the coffee shop were canderel ones - the kind that you press a button and the little tablet comes out - and it was amazing! Best sweetener I've ever tried and definitely what I'm going to buy next! Tasted almost like sugar! Yum
