This weeks loss, 1.5lb. New weight 14st 3.5lb.
I feel gutted, I can't lie. I know I stuck to plan and I kept a food diary and I went to the gym. So why didn't I get the result I wanted??
I have members in my fabulous group that ask me this week in week out, and as a member tonight I feel I have the right to be disappointed, I deserve more!
So now I need to REALLY look at my week. Did I have my health extras everyday? Did I have 5-15 syns a day? Did I have lots of free foods? The honest answer is NO. The great news is at no point did I feel hungry, I ate a few free foods everyday and lots of super free, but I didn't have both my healthy extras everyday, in fact from memory I think I missed three of my healthy B's. As for syns, 5-15 a day is what Slimming World recommend. Usually I have no problem enjoying these, but after Christmas I just don't fancy any 'naughties' and finished my week eating 14.5 syns for the whole week.
I had two choices tonight after group. Be totally hacked off and have a binge, or take a step back and reflect on my week and have a food optimising dinner! I chose option 2 and feel so much better for it. A fantastic friend, who is also a member of mine, very wisely said I had to remember I weigh less tonight than I did last week. Thank you Amy you stopped me going for option 1.
Dinner was a BFree wrap with chicken tikka bites and a sauce made with quark, cumin, lemon juice and tobasco and I had some super free for a boost. A yummy food optimising dinner and all for 5 syns :)
I did go to the gym this week and actually attended a body combat class. My friends Lisa and Lesley are obviously delighted they finally got me to attend. It was horrid and a total shock to my system, but I have booked in again for Sunday. They say you have to try a food at least 6 times before you can truly say you don't like it, maybe the same applies with exercise :) I also dusted off the wii and got a few sessions in on that.
My plan this week is to really stick to plan. I am going to fill up on free foods, get my healthy extras everyday and enjoy a very minimum of 5 syns a day. I didn't set a weight loss goal this week because I don't want to set myself up for failure, but it's time to commit. I would love 5.5lbs next week! What? I hear people say! I can do this and I will do it. Few more sessions on my wii as well this coming week. If you want something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done!
I am a Consultant and run a brilliant group at Freshbrook Community Centre in Swindon every Saturday. Some people believe because I'm a consultant I shoud know better! Sunday-Friday I am very much a Slimming World member, and am lucky to have a supportive consultant. My members drive me on and I believe they appreciate the fact that I am just as human as them, just as likely to have a wobble as them, just as desperate to achieve target as them. They are my extended family and I am grateful for every single one of them that have chosen me to help them along their journey. Including my own consultant, I feel like I have 70 consultants spurring me on every week.
Slimming World is magical, if you haven't found us yet, what are you waiting for?
Have a fabulous week.
