Today's big news (big for me) is that at weigh in this morning I had lost two pounds and I'm back in my happy zone again. Just in but that's OK.
I want to lose more though - being at the top of your range means that a slightly salty meal the day before can push you up and out of it again so it's not much of a buffer.
So - I will be taking advantage of the extra healthy extra when I want to but I won't be upping my syns just yet. My next aim is to get right back to actual target by May, another three pounds off. It is good to have a target, something to aim for.
I'm very happy!
What I have eaten today.
One syn for the seeds
I used the second wholemeal pizza base to make a calzone. It was still quite stodgy and I overfilled the calzone (lesson learned) but it was edible and tasty so no complaints.

I'm calling it two healthy extra Bs for the dough, one and a half As for cheese, four syns for pepperoni, one syn for the coleslaw and one syn for a small drizzle of salad dressing.
Afters was some strawberries and some grapes and I had some more grapes later on. You may have noticed that grapes are a Friday treat.
However, this evening I had two meals - chicken in black bean sauce and sweet and sour chicken (I love chicken) -and they were both really tasty.
Have I had tastier from the take away Chinese? Yes, of course I have, but this was all syn free and, at two meals for £8, loads and loads cheaper. And loads of chicken. And the wrapper gives the recipe for another time.
Of course, I didn't have all of both portions - half of each is now in a container, cooling quickly, and due for the freezer for another fake-away another time.
With it I reheated some wholegrain rice from the freezer and a bit of bulgur wheat from yesterday and, truly, it was really very nice indeed.
No room for any dessert.
Half a syn for the rice.
