Week 1- mini goal

The beginning of this week I decided I need a goal, I know my target weight but meanwhile I want a mini goal. With Xmas and new year coming up I want to look nice in a new dress so by Christmas I want to have lost at least a stone. There are 7 weeks so it's only 2lb a week, easy! 

Today's weigh in...

Which means I have lost 3.75lb, I'm happy with that. Dunno if it makes any difference but last week I weighed myself in the morning before work and today it was when I got home from work, but who cares nearly 4lb whoop! 

Me today...

Things I have been eating this week...

Breakfast 

I had a bit if time before going to work so I had boiled egg on brown toast(HEB), a quick breakfast at work muller light with 2 alpen light bars(HEB) and a piece of fruit. On my day off I made a massive omelette  with lean bacon bits and mushrooms then broke up 3 baby bell lights(HEA) on the top with beans, that was very filling. All of these would be syn free.

Lunch

I made a batch of jacket potatoes and froze them so I could grab them to take to work for lunch, I had them with beans and 3 baby bell lights(HEA) one day or one day I forgot to bring dinner cos I was rushing so I got a veg soup not sure of syns but I got the one with lowest calories. And some days I would bring what ever was left from the night before.

Dinner

Top left is homemade lasagne found on a website called slimming eats, not normally the best at making lasagne from scratch but follow this recipe to the T and it's really nice.(HEA)

Underneath is chicken pasta carbonara, with loads of veg, got the sauce recipe from slimming worlds little book of sauces. (HEA)

And the last is my slow cooked beef stew I threw together with lots of super free veg, that lasted a couple of days.

Snacks

Lots and lots of fruit and water, and got some cuppa soups to warm me up, don't know the syn value but it can't be much.

I haven't been syn counting, but I have been trying to have syn free meals and very aware when I have had syns that I haven't over indulged.

I decided that Saturday would be my treat day, not over doing it but if I do have a takeaway not beat myself up about it as I have been extra good the rest oh the time.

This week I had a takeaway curry on Friday night, saved half, had a few drinks with my sisters, they had a McDonald's and I just had mozzarella dippers, then when I got home I ate the rest of the curry with cous cous. I don't think that is so bad.

Happy bunny. Note to self...

Keep up the good work (pat on the back)
