The day after the day before!

Today has been more controlled. Well, something had to give. I have tried hard to get back on track but the age old problem of convincing myself it's worth it has been a tussle. It seems that when I have been off the plan even for a very short while I try to tell myself that the week is a write off so I might as well eat what I like and start again next week.  It is likely that I won't have lost anything again this week so now it's damage limitation. If I don't sort myself out then I will be gaining weight completely unnecessarily. If I have already gained I don't want it to be more by Wednesday!

So, what has today looked like? This was breakfast:



2 slices of toast = HEb. It. Made a real change from eggs!

I got back to cooking again on Sunday morning and made dinner for this evening, dinner for tomorrow and lunch for work tomorrow! Feels good to be somewhat organised as I haven't done that in a while. There was a little left over chicken curry and rice for lunch so I added so e mixed veg and hey presto! Instant lunch:

I followed that with a big strawberry yoghurt. Throughout the afternoon I had more of the Irish Cream coffee and an amaretto flavoured one. They used up quite a bit of my HEa. I spent the afternoon re-watching the first two episodes of Line of Duty. It was recommended by a friend and I was gripped when I watched them back to back the other evening. Made my other half watch them today so that he would be up to speed for episode three! I couldn't miss a minute despite having already seen it so  I never even thought about snacking!

Dinner was an old pre SW recipe of pork and peppers. It's a firm family favourite so I adapted it to fit SW. It was easy to replace the oil for Fry Light (the new garlic flavour is amazing!) and I just missed out the usual flour. Ok it wasn't as thick but it was just as tasty. No-one seemed to miss the wine that's usually in it! Maybe the chicken stockpot I used gave it enough flavour! Anyway served with rice and peas it was lovely. Plenty of onions, mushrooms and peppers in it to give me loads of super free veg.


Was quite full afterwards so I waited a while for my berries and Liberte 0% yoghurt. Worth the wait too!




All in all, today has been a much better day.  I've just had 6 syns - my favourite Curly Wurly. So perhaps I can stop being so cross with myself and try to get back to some kind of normal plan. Then again, am I eating enough? Am I over compensating for a not so good Saturday?! Oh for goodness sake ...............!
