Happy Wednesday everyone!!
As promised, here is an update on my weight loss journey! So last weeks meeting was a very successful one with another pound gone making it a total of 8.5 pounds gone and they are NEVER coming back!!! I was over the moon as I had a crazy week with the Ed Sheeran concert on the Saturday and a sleepover with my younger cousin. I was so shocked when the lovely Andrea told me I lost a pound, but then I looked back over my tracker and I really did stick to the plan as much as possible! On the Saturday night, instead of heading out for food, we decided to have a nice BBQ at home before heading in for drinks. It was a lot easier having food at home as it meant I could calorie count everything and it wasn't a guessing game! Having the BBQ was a lovely treat but it wasn't cutting into the treats and drink calories too much! It is all about making healthy choices and adapting your lifestyle to the plan. The fact that I was able to lose weight and still have a few treats and drinks on the Saturday shows just how adaptable the plan is and that it works!!! The only time of day I found difficult at the start of the plan was lunch time. As bread is in your step four, you can only have it once a day, so if I have bread for breakfast I would have to count the calories if I have it for lunch!! Before starting the plan, I used to have a tiny sandwich, fruit and then a little chocolate bar. I would still be hungry!! Lately I have started making a small stir fry for lunch instead as I can eat as much noodles, vegetables and meet as I like. With some soy sauce the entire meal is free on the plan and you feel like you are having a really bold treat!! Don't get me wrong, it is a lot more work than making a sandwich, but it is way more satisfying and well worth it! You are probably looking at the third picture and thinking I am off plan, well no I was the lucky winner of last week's raffle at the morning meeting! Each week the raffle prize is different and last week's prize couldn't of suited me better. I love chocolate and crisps and these have been the things I have been missing a lot during this plan!! The raffle prize contained goodies which each are under 100 calories!!! Let's just say I was extremely happy walking home on Thursday!! I am really happy with this plan and i feel like it is the first one I have tried that makes losing weight while still enjoying food so easy!! I am heading away today for two nights, so I will let you know how well I stick to plan!!! Fingers crossed!! Em xx
