Really sorry about yesterday's non-appearance. Early evening, I developed a nasty migraine/sinus sort of thing that carried on through the night and into this morning and I really wasn't up to uploading photos, let alone sorting out meal plans.
What I have eaten yesterday and today:
Yesterday:
One healthy extra B and two syns.
A roast dinner for lunch - chicken roasted potatoes and sweet potato, carrot, corn and broccoli.
Three syns for oil and one and a half for cranberry sauce.

Later on, I had some 'treats' that took me out of my syns limit but that wasn't what caused the migraine, it was the two small glasses of sparkly wine. For a while now (and I think I have already mentioned this), I have suspected that I am reacting to alcohol in more than the usual way!!
I thought to give it one more go with plenty of soaking up sort of food and yup - that was me flattened. Not drunk, that wasn't it, it was a very painful migraine or sinus (or both) issue, one sided and really horrible. I didn't get much sleep, unfortunately but self inflicted so no sympathy requested or expected! 😁

So that is me off alcohol totally from now on. It's just not worth it. And my weight loss will thank me, I am sure.
Today:
I should have had Groove class and that walk there and back but, obviously, I cancelled that.
This was lunch. Just something plain, nourishing and easy. Scrambled egg on plain toast.
One healthy extra B,
Two healthy extra As (probably a bit less but let's call it two) and two and a half syns
Summary:
up to two healthy extra As
one healthy extra B
two and a half syns
Tomorrow's meal plans
B: fruit
L: cheese on toast, side salad; fruit
D: lemon chicken, side veg, rice; fruit
Exercise: personal training
I've found as I've got older that alcohol, even small amounts, makes me feel unwell - although I don't get a migraine. So, like you, I made the decision to go teetotal 3 or 4 years ago, and I don't miss it at all. Just not worth feeling ill for the sake of a glass or two of wine or G&T. Hope you're feeling much better now. xx
ReplyDeleteI agree, it really isn't worth it. I'm quite happy to abstain totally. xx
