What I Ate Today: 04/01/2013

EXTRA EASY DAY

So, I started my day off with a yummy caramel coffee by Douwe Egberts mmmmmm. Lovely and syn free too! I had this with sweetener and a little semi-skimmed milk.

After this I ate two rocky road hifi light bars for breakfast, I LOVE these, they remind me of teacakes!

For lunch I had a first attempt at making my own soup, leak and potato. It was very tasty, but I would probably add some more leeks next time!

I was hungry quite soon after and tucked into 3 mini babybel lights, 1 kellogs nutri-grain oats & honey breakfast biscuit and a banana after picking up a few bits in Tesco. The nutri grain breakfast biscuits are very tasty and you can have 2 for your healthy extra B (if you haven't already used yours on hifi bars!)

For dinner (which I didn't take a picture of sorry!) I had a mixed grill of gammon, bacon, chicken and mushy peas at my mums house. It was scrummy! 

That was it for food today, I'm about to have another coffee and then that will do me for today. I'm planning on having a green day tomorrow which means more healthy extras, yes yes yes :)

semi- skimmed milk (3)
kellogs nutri-grain breakfast biscuit (2 1/2)

total- 5 1/2 



Healthy Extras

I really failed on super free today but I desperately need to do a food shop! Will be getting some bits today to last me until Monday (will be making a soup to last a couple of days) and then I can do a bigger shop.

So there we go, not a great day super free wise but did stay under syns. Weigh in tonight but I'm not really expecting much of a loss if anything, just because I've been lucky the last couple of weeks!

Will let you know later/ tomorrow!

EXTRA EASY DAY

Normal food posts will now be resumed! I have just posted my weekly weigh in below and you will see that I gained 1lb this week. I am quite pleased with that as it is low considering I wasn't really on plan at all last week. So I'm hoping to get back on track this week as Thursday will be the last weigh in before Christmas. I've got 58lbs to go until my target of 8 stone which I want to be at by my 21st birthday in September. I know that this is do-able but I seem to always take the scenic route with weight loss, hopefully not too much this time. With 37 weigh ins until my birthday that means I'd have to lose about 1 1/2lb most weeks with a little extra. That is do-able right?

Anyway, onto the food.


So I started my day with a merry cup of Cadburys options hot chocolate (2 SYNS) with some skimmed milk (2 SYNS). I also ate my advent calendar chocolate- it's a robin I think? (1 SYN) and a hifi bar (HEB). I really don't like that I've already used this many syns this early but I'm wanting cheese with my lunch so saving my HEA for that.

I love cheesy (HEA) jacket potatoes (FF) so I really like that you can still eat them when on slimming world. Using reduced fat cheese also means that you can have 45g of cheese instead of the usual 23g. I ate two with some Joe's Sausages chipolatas (FF). If you haven't already, please check his website out here. All of his meat products are completely syn free and he makes flavoured sausages, burger, grills etc. Really tasty. I know there is no super free here but I naughtily haven't got any super free in at the moment and I thought better me still following plan even if I can't fit the super free in. I will try and pick some fruit up on Monday though.

At about 3ish, Oliver and I went to see my sister and my boyfriend (they are good friends and live together in a group, weird I know but I actually met him through my sister!) I managed to stop myself from having a nice cuppa and instead enjoyed a fruit tea (FF) unfortunately I didn't get a pic sorry!

We got home at 5:30ish and since I'd picked some up at the local shop, I had an apple (SFF) before making a dinner of pasta (FF) , Joe's Sausages chopped up (FF) and a tomato sauce made with pasatta (FF) , worcestershire sauce (FF) and a little fajita seasoning (1/2 SYN). After this I had a nice drink of peppermint tea (FF).

I'm now make-up free and in my pjs about to watch The Dark Knight. I think I'll probably end up eating another apple (SFF) and drinking some more peppermint tea (FF) before going to bed.

So back on track then eh? Check me out! Hopefully this week will continue this way, with a bit more super free!

EXTRA EASY DAY

I started my day off with a lovely cup of coffee (HEA)  (it seriously saves my life!) and a hifi bar (HEB) , yummy yummy. I was taking leftover bolognese to my sisters' house for lunch and popped to my mums' on the way to pick up my advent calendar :D Oh yes it's December! I just love Christmas :) I ate the 1st yummy chocolate :) (1 SYN)

So I had pasta bolognese (FF) for lunch at my sisters' house, but this time with a sprinkle of cheese (3 1/2 SYNS). Tasty :) (The picture is from last nights meal, I didn't get snap happy today, oops!)

I had dinner at about 7ish as I had gone to my mums for a little while after being at my sisters' house. (I had a hot chocolate (2 SYNS) there but like I said, didn't have my camera sorry!)  I made the diet coke chicken (FF) again with slimming world chips (FF), was even tastier than last time! I probably ate too much but it was sooooo good! (Again, photo is from last time, sorry!) I also had an apple (SFF) to get a little super free.

I am going to be having another coffee in a few minutes to warm me up using the rest of my (HEA). That's about it for today!

Apologies for the complete fail that is todays post, my phone is really annoying to use so I take photos on my camera!

EXTRA EASY DAY

My sinuses and head are giving me hell this morning :( I so so hate being ill! Anyway, I started my morning with a cup of coffee, (anyone else feel like they can't function without one?) using skimmed milk (HEA) and sweetener (FF). About an hour later (I never eat as soon as I get up) I had bacon (FF) and brown sauce (1 SYN) on a wholemeal roll (HEB) and a bowl of grapes. I had this with a glass of diet pepsi (I cannot give up fizzy drinks for the life of me!)

For some reason I got hungry again quite early so I made my lunch at 12. I had leftover chicken in thai green curry paste (1 SYN) with a cheesy (3 1/2 SYNS) jacket potato (FF) and salad (SFF). It was very tasty, though I didn't quite finish the chicken as I prefer it warm! I don't usually like to syn my cheese but it was 50% less fat so I could have 25g for this amount of syns and I know that I'll have another coffee later and use all of my milk allowance!

As I ate lunch quite early, I started cooking dinner at about 4:30pm. I made spaghetti bolognese using passata (FF), worcestershire sauce (FF), a beef oxo cube (FF), garlic (SFF), onion (SFF) and peppers (SFF) for the bolognese and then obviously spaghetti pasta (FF). I probably gave myself too big of a portion, which unfortunately is a bad habit of mine, however, I didn't eat it all and stopped when I was full :) I ate a banana (SFF) afterwards to get in some more super free.

Later on I had some left over spag bol and an apple, I forgot to take a picture of the apple but I'm sure you all know what one of those looks like ;) I'll probably have a cup of coffee shortly, using skimmed milk for the rest of my (HEA) and sweetener. 

So that's it, my new format post! I'm thinking this looks prettier than before :)
