A Saturday syner

I've written out my weekly plan, and have been writing down my daily diary. How easy should it then  be to stick to it? I have tried - honestly, but things just seem to get in my way. Saturday is weekly shopping day and that was a breeze because it was all written down. Breakfast was eggs but this time I poached them. I saw a new method on a tv programme this week so thought I would give it a go. It involved breaking an egg into cling film lining a mug, twisting the cling film and dropping into boiling water. A good idea maybe but it was a bit of a disaster! Perhaps if I do it again I will spray the cling film with Fry Light first. Anyway, toast and fruit too made it a reasonable breakfast.

All through the day I was ok but again busy so lunch was late. I am afraid I grabbed a sandwich BUT I counted the bread as syns (5). Filled the sandwich with ham, cucumber and tomato. I don't often have a sandwich so I thought it would be a real treat, but I wasn't that impressed! I also had some fruit.

An ok day so far? Probably yes, but then.............. I went to the cinema with my friend. Determined to do well, we had no sweets or popcorn, and just bought a bottle of fizzy water. I can't believe that they charged £2.75 for a bottle!!!!!! Note to self - take your own next time. When we came out we decided to eat so plumped for Nando's. Well it was near and there was no queue! I tried really hard to make good choices. She had a chicken wrap which looked soooooo good, but I stuck to grilled chicken with rice. We had minty peas as well and diet coke. I think that isn't too bad - 2.5 syns for the rice, and maybe 2 for the chicken? Am not sure about the peas as I couldn't find them in my directory.  I could not resist the frozen yoghurt though which people tell me is syn free. I am taking them at their word!


I'm afraid this is a commercial photo. I didn't have the sweetcorn and I have to say the chicken was considerably smaller!

Well, I enjoyed it so no good punishing myself. Onward and upwards as they say. Tomorrow is another day.
