Hey All,
Well I though I would start a diary on my slim and save journey to help me keep track.
Firstly, if anyone reads this - thank you for taking the time and I hope to find other buddies on here to share our rants, successes and difficulties.
So I'm on my first day, I did have a dabble last week - just to try a few of the meals and shakes. So far I haven't tried anything I haven't been able to finish.
So what's my reason for wanting to lose weight. Mainly I've put a few stone on over the last year and I'm feeling rather uncomfortable with myself. Why did I choose Slim and Save? I like the option of the meals, so I'm not totally alienated when I'm with my OH and can still feel normal.
Im looking forward to getting it underway, but I know the first week will be hard.
My biggest concern is not being able to enjoy a glass of wine on an evening, but I've just got to remind myself this is only for a limited time, and there will be plenty of time for that once I (hopefully) get to where I want to be.
Also my OH is a little indifferent about me doing this, and he knows I have fads, so another motivator for me is this too. I hope that doesn't sound too bad!!!
Today was my first day, and here is what I've had today
Breakfast 6am - the oatmeal made up with milk with a cheeky sprinkling of cinnamon
Lunch 11am - half on the tomato soup with half of the truffle bar
Snack 2pm - the other half of the tomato soup and half of the remaining chocolate bar
Dinner 6pm - spicy spaghetti with a pack of the zero noodles
Snacks - a portion of no sugar jelly and a mug of the bouillon
Im logging my stuff on fitnesspal and its saying that my total carbs are 63g. Which I'm hoping is fine.
So if you fancy sharing your journey too, let me know. Like I said I know it will be hard work, but it would be great to have a few laughs along the way with like minded people on here.
