3. Day of Challenge: 4
4. Plan: EE
5. Water: 2.2l
6. Carbs: small portion of pasta
7. Exercise: 30 mins walking
8. Total syns: 0 (one of those days!!!)
9. Soup: Roasted pepper and tomato

Well done on a fab day 4 hun :D. You've done brill on hitting all your targets. I see that you have zeroed down on syns but my advice would be that a few will actually help with your losses. Otherwise when you resume back to a normal week after the challenge, you will gain weight back on. The idea is when you come off the challenge, to sustain the loss, that why syns are never removed, they are there so you have a healthy balanced day. See how you feel but try and add them to your day. Even if you don't fancy anything sweet you can use them in sauces and dips or something, its the weekend so will be nice to treat yourself :p. Loving your roasted pepper soup, yum yum. Looking forward to your post for day 5 tonight :) xx

Soup Maker

Do any of you use a soup maker? There is a deal on a Salter one (one of those deal sites) for £49, and just wondering if it's worth getting? I hate the messy pots and pans when I am making soup for just me.
 
Hi Kay,

I try to exercise for 20-30 mins most days (and I walk to and from work every weekday), but don't feel ready to jump straight into the Turbo Challenge! Would it be ok to keep this up for for the week I do Get Fit Soup Challenge (week starting 13th Sept), or should I just leave out my exercise for the relevant days?

Also, does cereal count as a carb or not? (I have Kellogs All bran)

Looking forward to it!
xx
 
Hi Kay - forgot to say today will be a holiday day for me! Thanks

Hey Niamh :p oh I think its defo worth the investment, since we are going to have a couple of months of winter ahead of us now, I think you will find you will be using it a lot :). I'm so glad I bought my slow cooker, could not manage without it :D xx

Hi hun :), Turbo is only for those who have done 5 or 6 of these challenges previously. All new starters have to start on The Get Fit cycle so that you can ease your way into the plan and work your way up slowly ;). As far as exercise is concerned you would have to follow the pattern set out in The Get Fit cycle, so only exercise on the days stated and rest days have to be taken on the set days too. At the moment I am doing the list for the challenge that is starting on Monday 6th October, I will do the list for Monday 13th October the following week and add your name to it :). With regards to cereal on the green/ee days you can have your healthy extras, its only on the Red days you have to syn your healthy extra B's (apart from dried fruit) because this is a low carb challenge. Hope this helps hun ;) xx

Okay lovely :), enjoy your day off, look forward to your post tomorrow for day 6 :p xx
