Hello - well today is the first day on this plan, and i've gotta say that i'm getting on ok (i think).
I was doing the SW plan, although it was great, i stopped losing weight after a while - and when reading a magazine i came across a voucher in a magazine and decided to go along to the meeting.
I really liked the meeting, the leader was fab, as were the other members. So i feel really quite confident at the mo.
So today i have eaten:
breakfast
30g bran flakes with skimmed milk - 2 points
smoothie - 2 points
snack
apple - 0.5 points
lunch
low fat super noodles (whole pack) - 4 points
pack of crisps - 7 points
snack
apple - 0.5 points
dinner
prawn sandwich tesco light choices - 3.5 points
My point allowance is supposed to be 23 a day, and i know that i've not eaten that amount. I might try and have some toast or something later. Also my dinner wouldn't usually just be a sandwich, its just that i went to the gym and was starving.
Another point is that the crisps definiatley weren't the greatest choice in the world - but again i was starving and grabbed the first things i saw, thinking they would be ok i was a little shocked when i calculated the point value.
Out of interest, the leader mentioned yesterday that you are able to 'save' points and 'spend' them at the weekend. She also said that this wasn't something that we should do all the time - just on special occasions. Is this true??, i was really hoping that i could maybe save some through the week and have a few glasses of wine on friday nights.
The other thing are these 'action points'. Now i walk or ride to work everyday. It takes about 30 mins by bike, and 40 walking. I also go to the gym in the evening. Should i add these points to my daily allowance everyday???? i'm confused!!???
I'm a little apprehensive at the moment so i'm constantly checking my points book. Its definitely going to be strange going back into the whole counting portion sizes and everything. I must admit i'm a little bit worried.
