Thought Id post todays eats for the challenge even though Ive gone over Kays 10 syn advice...
5 teas hexA, 3 litres of water
no real body magic just trying to ride my eldest daughters bike. Spent more time on the floor!
Bacon, and egg with mushrooms, onions and tomatoes. A bowl of strawberries and kiwis
mullerlight, apple, banana, 1/2 melon
salad (cabbage, onion, tomatoes, cucumber, rocket, carrot, celery, radishes and leaves too) with left over tikka chicken from last night. Chedd nibbles HEXA and mini ryvitas HEXB
summer fruits and raspberry cheesecake HEXB (this one is a good one)
Scrambled mess - courgette, onion, mushroom, asparagus, spinach and eggs seved with salad from lunchtime.
40g chilli heatwave doritoes 200 cal=10 syns and mini ripple 4.5 syns
So Im in for a success express day but failed the syns for the salad challenge. Now bearing in mind my syns have been under 5 for the last 5 days Im not too worried.

SALAD CHALLENGE TEMPLATE
Hi everyone, I've noticed there are a few members posting pics of salads on here but I'm not sure who is doing the challenge. I do not need a list of names but to help those that visit this thread to see who is on board, I have done a template for everyone to follow going forward. This means you do not need to post up your whole food diary, if you can all start using this template going forward, it will be much more helpful to see who is actually on the challenge.
1. Date - fill out the date your food diary is for
2. Day of Challenge - eg, DAY 4 of challenge
3. Water Intake - this should be 2L minimum
4. Carbs Today - This is a no carb or low carb challenge so it should say `none' but if you have had, rice, pasta potatoes, noodles, please list it and how much.
5. Body Magic - This should be a minimum of 30 mins, 2/3 times in the week, please list what body magic you have done, eg 30 mins walk.
6. Total Syns - Maximum of 10 allowed, please write your total number of syns if you have gone over be honest and right it down.
7. Salad - Here you can post your pic or write what salad you had and list of ingredients.
Here is an example :
1. Date - Sunday 30th March 2014
2. Day of Challenge - Salad Challenge Day 6
3. Water Intake - 3L
4. Carbs Today - None
5. Body Magic - 30 mins walk
6. Total Syns - 5

Please can you make sure that you are filling out your challenge at the end of your day or the next morning, its no good posting up in the middle of the afternoon because you still don't know if you'll be adding more to your meals at the end of the day.
Thanks so much Kay xx

The Salad Challenge Update
For those of you that have been following the salad challenge properly, it is a low calorie challenge consisting of mainly a little protein and lots of fibre with minimal carbs. I would therefore advise not to do it 2 weeks in a row. The challenge it designed to give your losses a boost if they have slowed down a little in the previous weeks. There are also other factors to consider. Doing the challenge for 2 weeks will make your body immune to the low calorie intake and will slow down the metabolism and your 2nd week losses will not be that much. It also important after one week to introduce your body back to regular foods. Because the reality is we will not be eating salads all our life. Introducing carbs and syns back gradually will sustain the loss you've had. It's also important not to go crazy the week after from no syns to 15 in just one day, do it gradually this will also help kick start your metabolism again.
The salad challenge is a great one to do a week before your holidays, if your looking for a little boost in your losses. Once you have completed a week, its important to continue with the good things, keep drinking lots of water and exercise, its all good for part of a healthy lifestyle.
Despite what I have explained above, if you still wish to continue for another week that is up to you. I will be resuming back to normal meals from Tuesday, once the challenge is over. I may do it again some time in the future.
All of the above is just my humble opinion, I am just one individual. Please do not feel the need to copy paste my words to another part of the forum. I am no nutrition guru ! Trust me if I was, I would have put myself at target many many moons ago !
