Anyhow I'm back on it this week 20 syns so far and it's day 2 so I am in credit if only by 10 syns. The plan is not to go mad at the weekend - what's the old adage 'if you want something you haven't got you need to something you haven't done'.
My weakness is weekends in the erm let's just say way too many years I have been a dedicated supporter of the miles-bramwell retirement plan - i have had more bad weekends than i card yo remember. This time I am going to approach them with less gusto and try not to use Saturday as an excuse to eat everything I 'fancy but shouldn't have' even when I'm just sat in watching the telly.
Another thing I am paying extra attention to is the whole super free element. My consultant tells me that if I do it 100% I should be able to loose more than 1.5lb. I have always believed that I have been doing just that - there have been weeks I have complained that 'I only had 80 syns and I've lost a measley half lb' but when I think about doing it 100% I think about sticking to my syns.
I don't think about the basics of the extra easy plan. I do have veg, I include it in my sauces , chillies and bolognaise and I try to throw some steam fresh on the plate with my evening meal when it's not got a sauce component. But it not like I actually have a visible third of veg on my plate.
Now I thought what I was doing was enough but when I lost a few weeks back despite bring over my syns, the one thing I knew I had done was eat lots of super free - I'd had salads and lots of extra veg in my sauces. I can only conclude that increasing the veg is a good thing and will when combined with sticking to my syns lead to decent weight loss!
I will let you know how I get on - bed time now - lets hope I don't have nightmares about rolling around in the mud with tarty school girl pop stars!
