Life Changes continue....

Since my lasst post, I've gone off track a bit. I had a week's holiday last week (at home) and since my 'life change' a month or so ago, I've been a bit down, so I'm finding it really difficult to follow the plan at the moment. We ate out a few times last week and I did a load of baking. I made lovely cupcakes and a large fruit cake (yet to be iced). I also made 110 mini gingerbread men. All of the recipes for the cupcakes and gingerbread men came from the Hummingbird Baker cookbook http://www.hummingbirdbakery.co.uk/ . All the cupcakes I made were tested by myself and were delicious. I'm dreading weigh in tomorrow, but at least I know if I do have a gain, where it has come from. I'm back on track today and I'm hoping that it will be easier when I'm back at work and have a different focus.

As another blogger on a different blog page has done, I think I'll publish my food diary, it may be better to see it written down and make it clearer where I'm going wrong:

Breakfast: One weetabix and skimmed milk
One slice of WW wholemeal bread with thin layer marmalade (1 syn)

Lunch: Chicken, homemade coleslaw using carrots, cabbage and red onion and 2 tablespoons of Light mayo - 6 syns) - although only had about one syn as the coleslaw was divided between 6 people. Beetroots = 1 syn

Dinner: Jacket potato, tuna in brine 200g, 1/2 tablespoon light mayo = 1.5 syns

During the day - 2 apricots, 3 plums, sugar free jelly, Actimel Fat Free strawberry yogurt. Tea and black coffee.

So all together about 3.5 syns.

One thing I'm not sure about is splitting the HE i.e. having one Weetabix and one slice of WW bread instead of two Weetabix or 2 slices WW wholemeal bread. A member from another group told me that their group leader said you shouldn't split them, it should be either one or the other.

Be back soon.
