Spring into Summer 2012 with Slimming World

caroline78

Well I am loaded with a nasty head cold, sore ears, throat and blocked nose, my very bones hurt and I have no appetite at all. Went back to class as normal on Thursday night and after my two weeks off (one in Turkey) I had lost 0.5lb so wanted to be good this week to try and get a lose this week (fully expected to put on last week, so think it might catch up with me this week)

However I am totally off plan.

Friday's food was
quarter of fish in batter, 2 large onion rings, half sausage, 10 chips (all from chippy's courtesy of my brother.
37g bag of Malteasers
10 Cadburys animal biscuits
Mint mullerlight frozen

Saturday's food was
2 large baked spuds, tin of beans and 25g of cheese
3 packet of walkers crisps (from a multipack so I think 25g)
mint muller light
cherry muller light

Sunday's food was
Hungry Joes ready meal (10.5 syns on EE and Green)
melon


Hopefully I will feel better soon so I can get back to normal eating. I was so full of great plans this week....xx

Personally, i count all black coffee as free.

the syns in actual coffee from a coffee shop come because there is a calorie difference. instant coffee is pretty much low cal (as in 1 cal low!) but a single shot of espresso gives about 15 cals so going off 1 syn = 20 cals you nearly hit one syn. Nero, for example, use 2 shots as standard so just one americano there is actually giving you around 30 cals so def over 1 syn and nearly at 2 AND getting to be the same as e.g. one quality street. if you had a day out and had say 2 coffee stops at a nero, your hitting 3, nearly 4 hidden syns you wouldn't really think about and doing that over a week will add up without you realising which is why they have tried to stop that by making them syns.

personally, id use a HEA serving as the milk in a latte BUT you would need to know the exact ml of milk in your drink to do it and be sure about it and you still would need to add in the 1 or 2 syns for the coffee shot.

Blimey, didnt realise that! I used to have one every day but have stopped since SW mostly. Have 1 every so often. I knew that the coffee van we have (Cafe2U) use skimmed milk ( and I use my milk as HEA) so couldnt see why it had syns. I now understand. TBH I dont love it that much that I want to use my syns on it. Will save it as a treat I think! Thanks for letting us know
