Weebles Wobble but........

[Kimberleyski]

Hopefully they don't fall down!

I have lost track of the amount of diarys I have started on here, all VLCD's. So I'm not going to go into all that, I started SW for the first time on 01/08/12. I've done a week and have really enjoyed actually being able to eat. So will try to stick to this diary and write food as well as mumblings.
I have quite a bit to lose, but am not looking at the bigger picture at the moment. I have told myself my only aim on SW is to lose something every week, doesn't matter how much just something.

Weighed in last night on a tuesday. 2.5lbs down. Wasn't a big loss like some people get, but I was on a VLCD before I came to SW and literally went from one to the other. So I don't think that's a bad loss really.

Feel free to comment on food etc. as I've only just started so any advice is welcome!

Food plan for today -

B/Fast - ML, Banana, 2 Alpen light bars

Lunch - Left over homemade Chilli packed with superfree foods, strawberries and apple

Dinner - Chicken Rogan Josh, curried vegetables

Snacks - 2 Quality Street - 2 syns each (not worth it in my opinion but I ate them before I looked up the syns, lesson learnt)!
Large Glass of Rose 250mls - 9 syns

HexA: Milk in Coffee
HexB: 2 Alpen Lights
Syns: 11

A good day yesterday - a little different than planned - have edited yesterdays diary so it is correct. Didn't plan to have that glass of wine, but me and a friend went to the pub and it was a really nice evening so sat outside and wine just seemed right. I really enjoyed it and I was still under syns for the day. I need to get my head around the fact I can have treats and not to feel guilty about it.
Annoyed because I am at work and I forgot my banana :-(

So plan for the day:

Breakfast - 2 Alpen Lights
Lunch - Chicken Mugshot, will eat some cherries and strawberries before to make sure I am getting my superfree. Mullerlight.
Dinner - 2 Sausages (3syns), butternut squash chips, 1 fried egg, 1 tbsp ketchup - 1 syn, Melon for pudding.

Snack - Banana, Light Mini Babybel - 2 1 Quality Street - 2 Curly Wurly - 6 syns

Syns for the day - 14

I'm not sure why I had the quality street or the mini babybel. I already said the quality street weren't worth it yesterday! I'll blame the girls in the office for forcing my arm! Yes that's what they did!

Yesterday went well I think! Off out for dinner tonight for my OH's birthday, which will be really nice, we don't go out the 2 of us very often as we have an 18month old daughter, but my very lovely auntie has offered to babysit. But I will be sticking to SW as I'm only in my second week, and SW never really makes me feel like I'm missing out anyway. I'm used to Cambridge lol! Now that makes you miss out......

So Plan for today is:

Breakfast - 2 Alpen Light Bars, Banana, Mullerlight
Lunch - Pasta with a homemade tomato sauce packed with superfrees, Strawberries
Dinner - Whatever I choose when we are out but I will make sure I make good choices and have no starter or pudding. Unless there is fruit. That would be nice!
Snack - Apple

Let's see how today goes.......

Did you have salad cream in your diary? If so you made me crave it just went to the shop and had some with my tuna lol.

The Scan Bran challenge is 5 scan bran a day as your HexB and you do it every day for a week. Scan Bran is really high in fibre so boosts weight loss. We will see, as people have very mixed opinions on the taste, I haven't tried them yet........

 

[Leeanne910]

Hahaha i did ooops sorry lol it was light salad cream so not so guilty haha is nommy tho mmmm

Start:: 217lb current:: 214lb...Goal:: 154lb 60lb to go!! club10 goal 195lb 19lb to go! Mini goals: 12lb by holiday 11to go. 40lb by xmas 39 to go. 61lb by mid march 60 to go

Rubbish I stayed the same this week, didn't think that was going to happen I must admit. I think my body is still protesting after my vlcd......Anyway onwards and upwards!

Officially started my scan bran challenge today, made it into tea bread last night and have eaten some for breakfast. It's pretty filling! But quite nice too.

Plan for the day:

Breakfast - Scan Bran Tea Loaf (4 syns)
Lunch - Egg and Tuna salad, salad cream (2syns), Raspberries and banana
Dinner - Chicken salad, mullerlight with banana

Snacks - Mullerlight

Syns for the day - 6
HexA - Milk in Coffee
HexB - Scan Bran

Planned Syns - 4 for teabread and 2 for salad cream = 6 syns

I don't think I have had salad cream for years! I had the light one too though. Gonna have it again today with my tuna!

 

[Leeanne910]

Mmmmm salad cream!! Hey it makes me eat salad so must be good lo

[Kimberleyski]

Scan Bran day 1 done and dusted, made another cake last night - this time with a vanilla mullerlight and Vanilla extract. Think I will try the cherry bakewell one tonight if we have a cherry mullerlight in.

It's quite nice to be having the scan bran cake for breakfast as it's really filling, I don't like to have cereal as I want to use my milk for coffee. I don't have time to cook in the morning as I have me and an 18 month old to get ready and drop her off at the childminders before I go to work. Def solves the breakfast issue!
So Plan for today -

Red Day:

Breakfast - Scan Bran Cake
Lunch - Egg Salad, salad cream (2syns), raspberries, melon and pineapple
Dinner - Bolognaise topped with 2 babybels (HexA) with butternut squash chips, Curly Wurly (6syns)

Syns - 8
HexA - Milk in coffee and 2 babybels
HexB - Scan Bram, didn't have the second one.

How do you make scan bran cake and where'd you buy it? Thanks x

 

[EmmyLou30]

Probably didn't make a lot of difference but I notice you didn't syn your linda mccartney sausages. They're 1 syn (unless they were the rosemary ones in which case I stand corrected as they are syn free - shame I don't like those ones really!). Looking good otherwise though and don't worry about your sts - probably just your body adjusting to eating again after vlcd's. Good luck for this weeks WI

 

[Kimberleyski]

Am thinking I might change today to a red day, does my menu look ok for that? Just then I could have an extra healthies and could have some cheese on my bolognaise.......

 

[Kimberleyski]

Hi, you buy the scan bran at class, but if you don't go to class apparently you can buy it in holland and barrett and online.

I make the cake all diff ways, last nights I made like this:

Soak 5 scan bran (HexB) in boiling hot water and wait to soften
Drain once soft and mash up
Mix with mullerlight, 2 eggs and a tsp of vanilla extract.
Microwave for about 6 mins.
Eat when cold.

There is a scan bran sticky in the recipe thread too! x

Hi they were the Rosemary ones yes, first time I have had them and they were yummy, tasted like stuffing I thought. When I have my next roast dinner I am going to add one to that so it feels like I'm having stuffing. Much better than quorn sausages and free! Whoop.
