so far so average
tuesday was entirely syn free. very good indeed. wednesday i had 1 sin for my squeezed orange juice and another 2 syns for some pine nuts on the otherwise free pasta dinner. saving up healthy extras through the day reaps great benefits for olive oil and cheese at dinner time. thursday was fine until dinner. went out with [banjax] and his friend simon. had a great night but we ended up going to pizza express so although i had a salad and used healthy extras for the cheese and olive oil, i also had a pizza and a large glass of wine. so i think i may have overdone it. friday was only 1 syn (for breakfast juice) all day, which is very cool. saturday, for the first time ever, was a 100% diet day. i'd always dieted monday to friday and had free rein at weekends. but no more. sunday, too was virtually syn-free. there were 2 syns (sesame oil) in the dinner but that's all. today, monday, is last day of my first week and apart from the 1 syn for OJ looks to be syn-free throughout. the test will be tomorrow, when i get on the scales.
yoga starts this week and gym - aerobics and weight-training, with perhaps some kai bo or spin classes too a bit later - starts next week.
my first target is to lose 2 stone and 2 dress sizes by christmas. watch this space.
also, good time to remind my sis she promised to buy me a dress if i get to target. there, it's in print now ;)
update: morning weigh-in was disappointing. my scales are evidently not particularly accurate. so i think i've lost between 2 and 3 pounds. but a wiggle of my big toe can change that to just half a pound. so who knows. i guess we'll know better in a couple of weeks. will hunt a set of scales in the gym, bound to be one, they do weight management courses.
