Starting again...

[LeanneJL]

Hello,

I joined slimming world over a year ago, the aim was to reach target weight by my wedding which was the 17th August. Needless to say I haven't really been motivated. My weight loss so far is 1st7.5lbs. Not too shabby I know but ideally another 2 stone to go (roughly). I guess I won't know my target until I get there.

I decided to create my weight loss diary on here as it seems to work for a lot of people. I often find myself losing direction, thinking a takeaway won't hurt. But my weight isn't shifting anywhere! So tonight I will be creating a meal plan for the next week and bringing my exercise bike down into the living room....no excuse!

My weigh in day is Tuesday so I will post my gain...(bad weekend)

hopefully the following tuesday will will be a lovely loss!

I have just started a diary for the same reason today....

Well done on the meal planning, I try to do that but it tends to go off track by about Tuesday.

So.... Day one! And a successful day!

Breakfast - poached eggs on whole meal toast (2 slices from 400g loaf = HEX B) with bacon (no fat) mushrooms fried in fry light and baked beans.

Lunch - jacket potato with prawns and a side salad of tomatoes, cucumber and red onion with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

Dinner - roast chicken (no skin) potatoes roasted in fry light with broccoli and carrots.

250ml of semi skimmed milk used for cups of tea.

Feeling positive for the first time in a while, shame I'm not positive about tomorrow's weigh in! At least I know I'm in the zone to carry on after my weigh in!

Had a bad yesterday, work doesn't help my case...stresses me out too much!

But my weigh in last night wasn't as bad as I expected, I maintained!

I admit I have a bit of a sweet tooth, and I've trawled through the deserts section on the slimming world website, as it's my day off today I will be baking some bakewell bites. These sound tasty and if topped with banana instead of glacé cherries they are only 1.5 syncs each.

I will update later with my food intake for today and how the baking went

So far so good!

Been really good today and I've stuck to plan! Can't tell you how great it feels to have energy and not be bloated.... Maybe this alone will give me incentive to stay on track.

HEXA- 250ml semi skimmed
HEXB- 2 slices of whole meal bread from a 400g loaf.

For breakfast I had poached egg on toast (HEXB) with mushrooms fried in fry light.
Lunch was a super pasta n sauce macaroni cheese made with water (1.5 syns)
And for dinner I made a cowboy pie, recipe for this can be found in the new magazine.(0.5 syn)

I did go ahead and make the bakewell bites.... These were absolutely delicious! A tasty treat with tea/coffee. So tasty I had 4! (6 syns)

I usually walk to work but get a bus home as I'm always so exhausted but today I made an effort to walk home too, 25 minutes each way.

Looking forward to another great food optimising day tomorrow
