They Moved!

Finally, we have some movement on the scales ... unfortunately they went up lol. Over the course of my holiday I have put on 1 and 1/2 lbs which takes me back up to 11st 3 and 3/4. It's quite rubbish really considering we have been dieting since April and I have so far managed to lose only half a stone. I feel better for even that little amount if I'm honest but it can be a bit disheartening. That aside I was actually pleased to see the scales move, albeit in the wrong direction, because at least it proves that my actions DO have an impact on my weight loss or lack of it. Therefore, if I apply myself to following the slimming world rules and weigh and count syns and do it properly then eventually I WILL lose something.

Todays menu is :

  • Breakfast : Two Weetabix (HEb), semi-skimmed milk (HEa) and a banana.
  • Lunch: Roast chicken salad with feta cheese (42g HEa), olives (1syn) and an apple.
  • Dinner: Cottage pie made with lean mince and mashed potato (HEb) served with gravy (1 syn) and green beans.

I haven't decided on any snacks yet, but I may have a muller light. That does leave me with almost all of my syns in tact too. I'm trying hard to keep them to a minimum knowing how I like a glass of wine at the weekend.

PS Aerobics last night was great and I think getting a bit active has really sorted my neck out! Looking forward to hulagise on Thursday too :)
