Hi lovelies, had a well behaved night and didn't go over my syns:j
Todays menu is -
Before work - Greek yog (1/2), banana and peppermint tea
Breakfast - 2 x toast (HEXB) and light chive Philly (HEXA)
Lunch - tuna, spinach, tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, red onion with added beetroot and gerkins. Muller light.
Dinner - chicken fajitas (without the wraps for me!) Plan to bung in some leftover broccoli and green beans. Pineapple.
3 syns for fajita mix but will need to check this. Saving the rest.
Well done to all the losers and to the rest keep plodding, that's what I'm doing. Having a good day yesterday has spurred me on to keep on track today:A
Take care all x0 -
Do others get edgy on weigh in day? I never weigh at home so I spend all day wondering and hoping if I've lost.
I've had overnight oats with mixed berries and banana for breakfast. Walked 2 .5 miles. Just had early lunch as I have to go out .... Tuna salad followed by quark with sprinkle of options.
I always eat my main meal after weighing in tonight.
Fingers crossed.0 -

I'm going to post my food diaries on here this week, as last week I had a gain and need to make sure I'm eating correctly.
Yesterday (green day)
Breakfast: raisin wheats and skimmed milk, apple and banana
Lunch: 2 eggs, beans, Tabasco sauce, 1 piece whole meal toast, .5 tsp flora light
Tea: veg korma and rice, muller light toffee yoghurt
Snacks: lemon tart, snacks jacks, mug shot sweet and sour noodles to go
Syns: 0.5 flora light, 4.5 snackajacks, 9 korma sauce 1/4 of jar, 4.5 lemon tart
I usually make my own curries from scratch but my daughter wanted to make a korma, so she used a jar of uncle bens sauce. I'll have to make sure I don't eat this one again, as I prefer hotter curries anyhow and it put me over my syns for the day. I was feeling hungry all day so ate lunch and tea early, then had the noodles as a late night snack. On the whole, this wasn't a perfect day food wise, could have added mushrooms to lunch for more speed food.
Today ee
Breakfast: 2 high bars and banana (have run out of apples, need to buy some)
Lunch: 2 quorn pork style steaks, super speed soup (made of carrots, leek, peppers, parsnips, tomatoes, onion, passata, spices, veg stock, lentils, beans)
Tea: more soup
Snacks: maybe some grapes
Syns: so far 1 for the pork steaks, will try to stick to this to offset yesterday
Definitely need to do a tesco order for more fruit and veg.0 -

Today's EE looks more like a Green day to me, so you could have another HEB. You also don't seem to have any HEA in there - milk and/or cheese. You can also have 2 HEAs on a Green day.
You should also try to have at least 5 syns every day.
