Hi All
Well today is the day I start to change my life, I am 44, fat and fed up with carrying around all this weight.
I have kidded myself for too long that I look ok and now without a shadow of a doubt it's time to get a grip, grab the bull by the horns and be honest with myself, this fat arse of mine (and all the other jiggly bits) need to go, so today is the start with the aim of losing 6st 12lb by New Year's Eve 2014 - can it be done I wonder??
I have decided to do Slimming World but from home for now, I have the books as I did join a class briefly last year but didn't find I got much from the meetings so I am hoping by doing it this way I will still get the support but without all the clapping!! I am going to put money in a tin each week so that I when I start to feel good enough to brave a shopping trip I will be able to buy some nice clothes, I wanna be able to ditch the fat girl clothes and shop in normal high street shops.
So today is my first day please let me know if I am going wrong anywhere
B/F - Oat so Simple Original Big Bowl made with water HEB - I know in theory its no longer a HEB because the normal sachets are only 27g and we are allowed 35g porridge oats but the Big Bowl are 38.5g and I read on here somewhere that for porridge to be HEB it needs to be 120 Cal and at least 3g fibre, well these are 142 cals and 4g fibre so I figured that I could use it as HEB plus 1 syn - don't know if I'm right but hey thought it was worth a go.
Snacks - Grapes (before and after breakfast)
Lunch - Tuna in spring water mixed with 1tbsp Hellmans lighter than light mayo (0.5 syn) and sweetcorn, large salad of Rocket, Mixed leaves, grated carrot, cucumber, tomato and celery plus Shape 0% fat yogurt.
Dinner - SW chilli from the membership book and rice
May also have a cheeky drink as well this evening, was hoping to give alcohol a break after the Christmas celebrations but it's my first day back at work today and I already feel like I have had enough so maybe a little drink to wind down later may be in order.
I hope to become a regular on here and end 2014 with a cheeky peachy butt and make many friends along the way. Wishing you all a fantastic, successful 2014. Any tips, encouragement or pointers where I may be going wrong are very welcome x
