    Here's a question for everyone - what do you tend to do on WI day, especially if your WI is in the evening?

    My WI is at 5pm, and I tend to have a breakfast consisting of scrambled egg on toast and a handful of fruit, then approx 2 litres of water before 1pm, then nil by mouth between 1pm and 5pm. Anyone else follow a WI day routine?

    I weigh at the same time but I just treat it like any other day. The only thing I do is make sure I drink lots of water and go to the toilet just before I weigh :rotfl:

    I'm waiting for confirmation about what is for tea before I decide what day I'm having. I suspect it will be EE but might be green.

    Lunch - Jacket potato with cheese (HEA) and carrots plus butter (1.5 syns)

    Later on I will probably snack on a weetabix oaty bar for my HEB.

    I think it's all gone a bit wrong today...

    I started off with 28g oats (HeB), a muller light, banana and blueberries, with a dash of semi in a cup of tea (1 syn)

    then i had 3 mini baby bel lights (HeA)...doing ok so far...

    then I had a snack pack of grapes...then 3 more mini baby bel lights (HeA)...still doing ok so far...

    then i went to get a jacket potato with beans for lunch and they'd run out of jackets...here's where it goes wrong...

    I ended up having a cheese and coleslaw whole meal long roll no butter/marg (oh a saving grace!) with salad (which had olives in it)

    The bread roll thing was worth more than the 1 HeB's I had left, and there was at least double a HeA of cheese, and the coleslaw and olives who knows!

    How shall I figure this out? Count the roll as 2 x HeB + 6 syns? Syn the Light baby bells and count the chedder cheese as my 2 HeA? How many syns should I count it as?

    What have I learnt?

    1 - prepare for lunch better, if I want a jacket bring one and micro it at work

    2 - there were healthier options available, I could have had a salad with meat or eggs without dressing

    3 - I could have left and tried somewhere else

    4 - caculate the syns before I take a bite

    5 - muller lights always seem to make me hungry - seperate point more of a general observation

    But a note to myself - just because I've eaten that doesn't mean the day turns into a freefrall...if I just stick to the plan for the rest of the day eating free foods:(

    Don't stress about calculating the uncalculatable (new word? Porbably :D) - just don't syn on one other day this week and then both days should be between the 5-15 range.

    Good luck with it and remember that if you really want to make the change anything is possible. 90% of weight loss is in your head, not your mouth ;)

    If you stick to the plan, you WILL lose that 2st. It's in your hands.

    Guns.... I just give the pork an occasion "prod n poke" if I happen to be passing :D
    Thankyou confused57 :p

    Well folks I got the wii out before lunch and burnt 500 cals in 40mins :j.. so that is THAT out of the way for another day (although I will end up playing tennis etc later this evening ;)).. I was rather warm... hence having the patio door tilted open when its -9 outdoors -when hubby came in he though I was losing the plot :o *who? Me?" :D

    Im another one who uses oil -I only need 1/2 tsp to do a stir fry for 2 so only 0.5syn a time.... I can't be doing with the low cal spray things *eughhhh*.....
