Hey!
As I type this its day 3 of my reset and I actually feel really good already. I have managed to do 3 SP days on Slimming World. If you aren’t familiar with Slimming World or SP days you can read all about the plan here on the Slimming world website.
I lost all my weight originally with Slimming World and I like it because it really doesn’t feel like a traditional diet. Without sounding corny – it really is more like a lifestyle change.
In super simple terms though a Slimming World SP Day is replacing ‘Free’ foods with ‘Speed’ and ‘Protein Rich’ foods. Cutting out potatoes from my diet is (and will never be) top of my list of things to do. But this is only for 10 days and I will slowly reintroduce them or perhaps ill get a few more days in and feel like I just want some potato!
Day 1
Weigh in!
Weight –
9 stone 5lbs
Measurements –
Bust: 34.5 inches
Waist: 32.5 inches
Hips: 38 inches
Thigh: 23 inches
Arms: 11 inches
I haven’t ever measured myself. It’s something I actually really regret not doing in the beginning. When I started my first weight loss journey my jeans were a size 14 and I simply just wanted to get to a weight I was happy at and didn’t give measurements a second thought. I am pretty sure these measurements aren’t going to change much but I am interested to see!
Day One was okay. It was a pretty busy one which I think helped. Breakfast wasn’t my favourite or usual pick but it was food shop delivery day so beggars cannot me choosers. Lunch was a late soup at 3 after my hair cut but tea well and truly made up for it.
Todays food:
Breakfast – 40g cheerios with 100ml skimmed milk
Lunch – Moroccan vegetable soup (recipe can be found here)
Tea – leftover burnt aubergine chilli with salad and a little halloumi (recipe can be found here)
Day 2
I slept SO well last night – it was either a fluke or my body rewarding me with good sleep after not filling it to the brim with sourdough. Guess I won’t know until tonight!
But day 2 was home all day so I had to resist going to the fridge and picking something to eat every time I walked into the kitchen.
Breakfast – 2 Chocolate Wheat Biscs with 100ml warm skimmed milk
Lunch – Prawn salad. Probably the most boring salad I have ever made and more than likely the kind of salad people who say salad is nasty think of.
Tea – breaded cod with a mountain of salad
I also had a couple hot chocolates (2 syns each) and some watermelon.
Funny side note – you know when you teach your puppy to do something real cute. Like, when I taught both Ethel & Clinton that fruit and veg was the best treat, they could get their chops on? Yeah – I now have to share every fruit snack, salad and vegetable stick.
Day 3
Last night sleep was a fluke. I tossed and turned all night until Clinton got up at 4am begging to go out. So I was up, awake at 4am begging Clinton to go to the toilet thinking about toast.
But despite the awful sleep I actually feel okay.
I had breakfast much earlier than normal and dinner later as Aaron was late back from work, but I feel so good. I can’t remember the last time I had 3 days in a row 100% on plan!
Breakfast – 2 Chocolate Wheat Biscs with 100ml warm skimmed milk
Lunch – Greek salad with aubergine, feta, olives, lettuce, tomatoes & cucumber.
Tea – Oumph (vegan kebab), piled on top of a huge salad with a few cheeky chips!
So, its 9pm I am pretty sleepy but still need to go and walk Clinton.
Feeling positive about the next 3 days ahead!
Ill check back in with you again in a few days!
Much Love
