Food, glorious food!!!

Don't you just hate self righteous buggers??? Well I do!!! I NEED to leave the SW Facebook group as the people on there frustrate me sooooooooooooooo much!!! I posted a few pics of todays food on there and all I got from the people on there were jumping on me (not literally, thank god!! hehe) but just questioning the syns on everything in the photos.

Now 6 weeks ago prior to me joining sw if I was out and about at lunch time I'd have eaten a LOTTTT of syns in the form of McDonalds, cakes, chocolate, crisps etc so what I did have was a major improvement on what I would normally have so I can only speak for myself and say I was very pleased with myself. I will know in future not to post anything on that group as I really can't be bothered getting everything scrutinised!!

Just before I got the alleged syn-laden salad I had been into Home Bargains and I came out feeling very very proud of myself. As I walked into the shop the first thing that almost hit me in the face was a mahooooosive bar of Galaxy chocolate (my fave) for just over £2. I was honestly looking at it for ages, fighting with myself as to whether I should buy it or not. It went something like this

Bad Me...'Oooooooooh, I'm going to buy that',
Good Me....'No you're not, think of the syns',
Bad Me.....'But it's only £2, too good a bargain to pass up',
Good Me.....'But think of how bad you'll feel once you've ate it'
Bad Me.......'BUY IT, BUY IT, BUY IT!!!!!'
Good Me.....'I WILL NOT GIVE IN, I WILL NOT GIVE IN, I WILL NOT GIVE IN'

And so it went on until eventually I forced myself to leave that aisle and carried on with my shopping. Now if that's not a NSV I don't know what is!! I came out of the shop and who did I bump into...none other than my lovely sw consultant. I told her about the chocolate and she told me how proud she was of me and that I was doing so well. I was chuffed to bits. I was on my way to get my salad at this point so we just had a quick chat then I made for subway to get my yummy scrummy salad.

Anyhoo....onto today's food. I decided to have an Extra Easy day today as I had taken out some burgers from the freezer to have for dinner. so this is what today looked like

Breakfast....the sw mousse thing I was telling you about yesterday. 1.5 syns for the whole thing but this was half the portion but i've just counted it as 1 syn for today and will count the 0.5 when I have the other portion (probably tomorrow)

I also had an apple with this but forgot to photograph it!

I then thought i'd better head out to the supermarket as I haven't been shopping for days but I got sidetracked my texting my sister to ask if she wanted to go to the local cat and dog home to have a look as she is wanting to get 2 cats. I'd like to get a cat too as I am really missing my two wee poochies since they both went to doggy heaven last year. I don't think I could commit to getting a dog again but I really would like to get a pet of some sort. Hubby says no though so I do need to win him round.

On my way over to my sisters I munched on some roast beef and cherry tomatoes as I didn't want to get too hungry while I was out. I also had an alpen light bar while I was out.  Sorry no photo as I was in the car whilst munching on these!!

So, after looking at lovely kitty's....many of which I wanted to take home with me there and then, I dropped my sis off home and headed to my local shopping centre where I got a few essentials then made my way to Subway for a delicious turkey and ham salad with southwest sauce.

I had to bloody eat it in the car as all the seats were taken up by people just sitting at them whilst waiting for their partners or friends who were in the queue getting their food!!! I absolutely hate it when people do that. It really bugs me!!!

After i'd been to Asda for the essential shopping like fat free greek yogurt, bananas and other bits n bobs I headed home to collect Roo from nursery and when we got home I started making the dinner. And boy was it tasty

2 Braveheart burgers, with 2 rashers of bacon served with sw chips and salad. I put 1tbsp of tomato sauce on the burgers but had taken the photo before I did this!!  Mmm...Mmmm...Mmmmmm

Afterwards my hubby and my 2 boys were having ice cream and I didn't want to be left out so I used my other half of my B choice on some cooked apple with cinnamon,  with sweetened fat free greek yogurt, and I drizzled 1tbsp of golden syrup over it for 2.5 syns. It was delicious and felt very naughty!!!

Then what did I have?? Oh yes, a Skinny Cow ice lolly. I think these are 4.5syns but for some reason I can't find them on the website. I've used the 1 syn per 20kcal rule so hopefully it's correct. These are so so good and I have one almost every night, which reminds me I had one lastnight which took my syn total for yesterday up to 9.5.

So I had the ice lolly then I had 5 syns worth of Metcalfe's popcorn which is delicious and I love it!!!!

Soooooo, after all that, if my calculations are correct, this is the syns i've had today:

Mousse................1 syn
Southwest Sauce: 4.5 syns
Golden Syrup......2.5 syns
Tomato Sauce.....1 syn
Ice Lolly..............4.5 syns
Popcorn..............5
Total..................18.5

This takes my total so far up to 28. I'm more than happy with that.
