Hey!
So I guess I'll kick off with abbit about me; in my early 30s with a toddler, single Mom and I run a business so very busy!
I restarted slimming world 07/01/2022. The last time I did it was well over 10 years ago. I'm vegan now (but wasn't then) so I'm starting from scratch really as last time I depended on meat and eggs to fill me up.
So far I've had 3 weigh-ins and lost 8.5 lbs (-4, -2.5, -2). My weigh in day is Friday.
I'm going to update my past few days to get the ball rolling and then I'll try to update when I get chance to keep myself on track.
Thursday
Breakfast - I'm really bad at eating breakfast first thing. I much prefer a midday cooked brunch. This morning I ate half a banana before the gym for some quick energy.
Lunch - After gym I had Chickpea "chuna" lettuce boats. I made vegan syn free mayo with blended silken tofu, garlic granules and lemon, mixed this with crushed chickpeas, capers, itsu seaweed sheets (0.5 syns for half a pack).
Dinner - I had work and then had to take my son to my Mom's. It took ages to get back and by the time I was at the station my belly was rumbling. I found some vegan sushi in Tesco for 0.5 syns per small pack and had two. Once I got back I had Plant Pioneers vegan meatballs , smooshed them down so they'd cook quicker.made a quick sauce with tomatoes and herbs and served this is a WW wrap (HEB) with 40g vegan cheese (HEA) and spinach. Also had 400ml pf light soya milk throughout the day in coffee and tea as second HEA (although I rarely finish the full amount).
BM -Gym
TOTAL SYNS - 3
Friday
Weigh day. I get weighed early so didn't eat beforehand and instead had a cooked lunch later on.
Lunch - Tofu scramble with mushrooms and tomatoes, beans and Quorn vegan ham (free) fried in frylight to make "bacon".
Dinner - this was cobbled together at work and was a bit pathetic - half a pack of squeaky bean tikka (2.5 syns), sugar free soya yogurt with mint and garlic, lettuce, red onion and a bit of pasta.
I was hungry when I got home and in bed had a mini feast with a cup of tea. I felt pretty bad even though I was on plan. 2 x penaut Hifi (HEB) 13g multipack skips (3.5 syns) and Graze cocoa and vanilla oat bites (7 syns). Milk in teas and coffees for my HEA
TOTAL SYNS 13.5
Saturday
Today I had a crap food day because I was under prepared. I quickly threw strawberries in my bad before work and nibbled on a few during my shift. I didn't get chance to eat anything else until I was home. By the time I cooked it 6.30pm. Treated myself to a bit of a fake away- Vivera shawarma (1 syn for half a pack), WW wrap (HEB), Cholula hot sauce (0.5 for 3 tablespoons), mint and garlic yogurt, slimming world chips, lettuce, cucumber, onion.
I'm still hungry so will have a little look for something else in a bit most likely use my syns of hifi / Graze bar with a cuppa.
