Trying to keep track!

[catkin69]

Hello everyone,
I am new here. Have been doing slimming world at home now for a week and was delighted to weigh today to find I have lost 4 and 3/4lbs.
I have stayed mostly on plan with only a hiccough on Sunday when my husband cooked a fantastic steak and Guinness pie!
I have decided to keep a diary to try and keep track of what I have eaten and to use it for reference on good and not so good weeks!
I work nights which does put a spanner in the works a bit but I am trying to find my way.
So today a green day!
B 1 slice WM toast (hexb) ketchup (1) fried egg (1)
banana

L Cheese salad, (hexa) dressing (1)
muller light

D chicken curry(hexb), rice, salad with fat free yoghurt and mint dressing.

tea and coffee with skimmed milk (hexa)

snacks digestive biscuit (3.5) grapes
Will be back tomorrow!
Catherine
