Tinyshoes Food Diary

[tinyshoes]

Hello everyone! I have had a diary on this site before when I managed to lose 10lbs, however i started struggling and switched to WW as I had lost alot of weight on WW before. I lost a further stone which took me down to my target weight of 10 stone in time for my wedding in October . Now after a fantastic all inclusive honeymoon in the Maldives (absolute paradise!) and Christmas I find myself 10lbs heavier and before it becomes a stone I need to get back down to target (although I would love to be 9 stone something!). I don't go to a club and will be doing this from memory and using some old books (plus this fantastic site!) so if anyone sees anything wrong in my diary (other than the obvious 'off' days which are bound to happen ) please let me know, any comments or advice are welcome. Wish me luck

Hubby bless him brought me through a glass of rose not realising you have to count wine as syns (lol!), luckily I had 7 syns left so I'm just hoping it wasn't more than that! Didn't have the heart to turn him away with it.

If anyone is reading this do you think I am eating too much?! After being on WW and being hungry I feel like I'm being greedy now! Guess I'll find out tomorrow when I WI!

 

[Mrs V]

You definitely arent eating too much Hun!!! Good luck for your weigh in..Im sure you will be fine!

[tinyshoes]

First WI today and I've lost 1lb! I'm pleased with that as I never lose weight quickly, and I have only been on the plan for 4 days - it is a true weigh in though because I weighed myself last Friday, just didn't start SW til Monday. I would be happy with 1lb a week anyway Will be having a takeaway tonight as I refuse to cook 7 nights a week so Friday will be my 'cheat night' or 'flexi syn' day. Will try to have minimum syns throughout the day and not have massive portions of takeaway just a sensible amount.

Food for today Friday 19th February 2010 - EE

HEA - 250ml ss milk - brekkie and drinks througout day
HEB - 2 x wm bread (400g loaf)
Flexi Syns - 3 & chinese takeaway

Breakfast 7:30am:
40g pudding rice
150ml ss milk (HEA), 100ml water & sweetener
WW vanilla yoghurt mixed in after cooking

Snack 11am:
Red Grapes

Lunch 1pm:
2 x wm bread with 1 tsp Flora x light (0.5)
Cooked chicken breast slices
Morrisons Eat Smart Chicken & Mushroom Cup Soup (2.5)
WW lemon yoghurt
Fresh pineapple

Snacks 4pm:
Banana
Fresh pineapple

Dinner 7:30pm (Flexi syn night/off plan!):
Chinese takeaway:
1/2 portion plain chow mein
1/3 portion beef in satay sauce
1/2 portion bali chicken (tomatoey/garlic sauce)
1/3 portion chips
1/2 pot soya sauce gravy

No idea on syns, on extra easy today so hopefully the syn values won't be TOO high just any fat it's cooked in and any fat in the sauces (see how I'm trying to convince myself?!) Straight back on normal plan tomorrow.

Oh I am so stealing that dessert with the white choc buttons! It sounds lovely!

 

[Lucky7]

Well done! Looking good.
Re your question about porridge - you should be having a scan bran to top up your 28g of oats. I acually like the branny taste in the porridge, and it makes it much more filling.

 

[tinyshoes]

You should definitely try it! It was absolutely gorgeous!! I tried a similar thing with low fat fromage frais, but the Total 0% yoghurt was so much more creamier....ooh I could eat it again now...

I don't have any scan bran as I don't go to a class, would one ryvita, or a high fibre crackerbread be ok instead? Thanks.

I think Mikado are half a syn each making 3 syns for 6. Hope that doesn't upset your lovely day. Loving the sound of your dessert. i haven't had ww biscuits for a while as they used to melt into my cuppa but haven't thought about using them like that. Good idea.

 

[eieioo]

sorry just had to butt in here do you mean mikado the mallow biscuits??

Oops are they? I have no idea how I've got that you can 2 for half a syn, maybe just wishful thinking haha! As it happens I didn't have them yesterday in the end so it's ok. Thanks for that at least I can count them properly in the future Yeah any biscuits are nice crumbled at the bottom of a dessert but they are about the lowest ones I can find that have a flavour. My DH has choc homewheat crumbled in his sometimes (grr!) would rather have them lol...Thanks again for putting me straight

 

[tinyshoes]

sorry just had to butt in here do you mean mikado the mallow biscuits??

Hi eieioo! No the Mikado I have are the thin sticks covered in milk choc, quiet nice just to nibble on if you fancy a small choc fix! As long as you can stop at a few and not have the whole box Thanks for stopping by!
