Good morning all,
I’ve finally decided to do something about my weight. The fabulous warm weather, a friend’s forthcoming wedding and the fact that I really do hate the way I look, has spurred me on to lose some weight. Although, being honest with myself, my weight is not the real issue. I have really let myself go. I no longer wear make-up, wear nice clothes, or take care of myself and am now hiding behind my weight – using it as an excuse not to make an effort .
I am hoping that by losing weight with Slimming World, I’ll transform from shabby to stunning.
I plan to follow Extra Easy for the majority of the plan, with a few Original days each week.
So for today, my menu looks like this:
B: 28g Porridge Oats (HEB), 180ml semi-skimmed milk (HEA) and a banana.
L: Edamame soya bean salad, turkey breast chunks, coriander and chilli dressing (5 syns) and an Activia fat free peach yogurt (½ syn).
D: Basmati Rice, bean chilli and beef in tomato stew (8 syns??).
S: Plenty of fresh fruit
Not sure about the syns in the beef/tomato stew - it has plenty of fresh ingredients, but it has quite a bit of olive oil in, so I've guessed 8 syns...
