Starbucks obsession

As I've mentioned before, I have a bit of a Starbucks obsession...well it's more of a coffee obsession but I just can't resist those fancy coffees from Starbucks so I'm experimenting with different things so I can still get my fix.

Today I tried out a tall, sugar-free hazelnut, skinny latte to then find the sugar-free versions aren't listed on syns online Hmph. The coffee was amazing though, I wouldn't have guessed it was sugar-free and skinny. 

 Surprise: surprised that a sugar free, skinny latte would taste so good #fmsphotoaday 

After some research I found their nutrition sheet and the sugar-free syrups are 0 calories...I'm assuming then, that they are 0 syns (assuming you're counting the milk from your allowance).

I survived the Yorkshire Sculpture Park

I LOVE to eat out. It is one of my favourite things to do, so when we plan a trip out as a family, like we did today, I am so tempted to suggest having lunch somewhere nice.

Today I had a late, big, breakfast of bacon, egg, mushroom, baked beans and toast and hoped that would last me through to dinner time. We then headed out to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park for some body magic.

Isn't it beautiful?..there was plenty to distract me from wanting to eat

We did have to stop at the cafe for a snack because my daughters were getting hungry, but I was good. I ordered a plain coffee and had an emergency Alpen bar light in my handbag for such an occasion.

Out with the family and being good whilst they trough down delicious looking flapjack
Let's call this photographic evidence, much better than the nut who photographs her coffees. 

From there we had a short shopping trip. I'm a self proclaimed Starbucks addict so I had to find a way to diet and get my Starbucks fix, so say hello to a 'tall, skinny, vanilla spiced latte' I worked this out to be around 4.5 syns if you count the milk as a Healthy B (which I did)

Dinner time: We had my favourite...sushi! I could eat sushi all day, every day, and the best bit? It's really low in syns! I think this lot worked out at 1/2 and I was completely stuffed.

  Dinner was sushi. Works out at 0.5syns for the whole lot #slimmingworld
