Hannah's tri-ing to be better!

[the_last_time]

Hello

Thanks for dropping by I'm Hannah & have been a weight watcher on & off for years!

I'm a little fed up with it tbh & find I either spend my like weighing & pointing stuff or feeling restricted by their core plan. So I thought new update year, new approach!

I started SW on Thursday, although my meeting wasn't till 5pm so I ended up maxing out my syns as I wasn't prepared. I'm still not 100% but I'm sure after a couple of weeks it'll get easier

So far I've had 78.5 syns in 4 days not sure if that's bad or ok... I absolutely plan to have less over the next 3 days, may be just 5 per day. Is 0 syns a day ok or is 5 a minimum? I know in WW I did better if I ate all my pp.

I'm also doing a triathlon in April & have started training already - I managed 5 sessions this week (run, body pump, swim & 2xspin) so feeling proud of myself for that

I'll start posting my food tomorrow, thanks for stopping by

Hello

First day of posting but my 5th day on the plan - I'm posting my diary & if you spot anything a bit dodgy please let me know

I have to hand in my diary to my consultant for the first 4 weeks which is fab, never got that service from my WW leaders !

B: banana, melon, apple, pear, Danone shape, 10g flaked almonds (1/2 HEXB)
S: 2 x satsumas
L: bean and vegetable soup (loads of veggies)
S: apple, alpen light (1/2 HEXB)
D: chicken, noodles, onion, carrot, cabbage, pepper, soy sauce, fish sauce, sweet chilli sauce (1.5 syns)
S: sugar free jelly (1 syn), raspberries, yoghurt, WW toffee bar (4 syns)

No HEXA - totally forgot but had 2 x yoghurt so feel I'm calciumed up!

Total: 6.5 syns
Total this week 85 !!!

Which isn't too bad considering, may eat 10 the next 2 days YUM!!! I figure if I eat all my syns this week then whatever my result at WI I can adjust accordingly

Ok so today has been a hungry day! I struggle a bit first thing as when I head to the gym I tend to just eat a banana then have breakfast at my desk so feel I don't get my 1/3 super free :-/

B: pre gym banana
B: weetabix (HEXB), blueberries & 250 ml skimmed milk (0.7 HEXA)
S: pear, home made vegetable crisps dipped in quark
L: roast butternut squash, onion & aubergine with tuna in a tomato sauce & small portion of potato
S: melon, apple & shape yoghurt, 2 slices turkey, nume crisps (6 syns)
D: homemade meatballs in tomato sauce with onion, pepper & courgette with pasta & 8g Parmesan (0.7 HEXA )
Dessert: sf jelly (1 syn), yoghurt (1 syn), raspberries & chocolate (2 syns)

Total: 10 syns
Total this week: 95

Not sure if splitting my HEXA is workable but didn't have all my milk so thought some cheese couldn't hurt?!

Hey Hannah! I found you! Welcome to the dark side I often split my HEA andhave 175ml of Skimmed Milk and 20g of Reduced Fat Cheddar, theres a section on SW Online which says that is absolutely fine Is it your first WI tomorrow night? x

 

[Sammyanth]

You're doing great Hannah. Hope you feel less hungry today with whatever you have.

It's a good idea to use all of your syns for the first week and then go from there xx

Been away for the weekend so not great!! Also had a sts at WI which is a shame, but tbh I haven't read the whole plan yet & I've not been brilliant at planning my meals

Going to be better from tomorrow, trying extra easy sp which is have half a plate of speed food (most fruit & veg) and half protein which should be doable for me for the next 3 days. Pulses count as protein foods plus you get a HEXA (milk/cheese) & 2 HEXB (bread/cereal/nuts/alpen light) so all good

Good Luck with EESP Hannah! I've not been brave enough yet to try it, firstly because of some of the weird meal combos and secondly because I've heard some really mixed results, I wouldn't want to risk it! X

And I think being a veggie would make it more difficult. I know we can have beans & meat replacements but animal protein probably works better...and it could be blimmin' expensive! BUT I have a freezer that needs defrosting so it'll get me through the stuff that I buy cheap from the shop & forget to use!!

 

[Sammyanth]

Sorry to hear about your sts Hope you get a good result on EESP this week.

Did you go anywhere nice this weekend?
