Jade's Starting Over Again...

[jadeelizabeth]

Since the birth of my daughter and rejoining Slimming World in April, I've been struggling to stick to plan and loose weight. I lost 17lbs in 6 weeks at the start but now I've lost my mojo and started to regain the weight. I'm struggling with not having the routine of being at work and having set meal times and instead I'm finding myself picking all day.

I lost 2st with Slimming World pre-pregnancy so I know it works for me and I know I can do it! I loved the feeling of being slim last year and how I could finally fit into the clothes I've always wanted to. I want that again so much so why can't I stop self sabotaging?

I have started a new group and have decided to start keeping a diary on here again so I can keep track of my food. I will be trying to write in my diary (during nap times) every day and hopefully reporting my losses at weigh in on a Thursday morning.

Looking forward to catching up with some old friends it's and always lovely to meet new people so come and say hello comments always welcome...

All that matters is that you went to group and that you're back on it well done honey xxxx

 

[jadeelizabeth]

Hey Jade, here to subscribe! Do you stick to 5-15syns a day or go by weekly syns? I noticed you had put 10/70 x

I usually spread my 70 syns over the week rather than 10 every day x

All that matters is that you went to group and that you're back on it well done honey xxxx

Hello again lovely x

 

[jadeelizabeth]

I bought some Kallo Blueberry & Vanilla rice cakes today and just tried two as an afternoon snack. I had them on their own and they were lovely but they would probably be even nicer topped with greek yoghurt and fruit. Highly recommended!

 

[sophiec89]

Mmmmm they sound yum!

 

[jadeelizabeth]

So dinner tonight didn't exactly go to plan... My OH suggested we go out for dinner which was really lovely and resulted in us having a three course meal. As it was weigh day today I'm not going to count it and simply draw a line under it and try and keep my syns low this next week.

 

[JessyG24]

Aw I would have gone out too chick! Definitely worth it for a meal with your man! xxxx

 

[Nellylou]

The rice cakes sound delicious will make a note to grab them.
Meal out sounds lovely x
