Tr(a)cy1066's food diary

[trcy1066]

I've never done one of these before but I think confession might just be good for the soul and maybe having people to talk to about the highs n lows will help make it easier to keep on track.

So I'm starting this here thing with a doozey of a confession!

EE

300ml of 1% fat milk throughout the day

Brekkie - 2 weetabix HE
1/2 a tub of mullerlight cherry yogurt
a cup of mixed frozen berries

Lunch - eldest daughters birthday so her choice of lunchtime venue is the Slug and Lettuce. The Menu is restrictive and doesn't allow for healthy choices.
1 tuna melt panini
chips!!!!!!
coleslaw with creamy full fat mayo
2 lettuce leaves
warm chocolate brownie/a scoop of vanilla icecream :break_diet:

The bf is cooking dinner tonight from an SW magazine so there will be strict instructions to cut back on the carbs and pile high with superfree veggies.

Looks like I'll be eating superfree veg soup for lunch for the rest of the week

Lunch sounds good! Don't worry about it too much, you won't ruin your whole week for one bad meal and it sounds as though you're straight back on plan which is the main thing. Good luck with your losses x

Spoonful of homemade vanilla ice-cream - whole thing is 5 1/2 syns so maybe 1/2 a syn if that?
