Everyday's a SW day...take two! :)

Hi everyone

After being on holiday and having 3 weeks COMPLETELY off plan, i'm back!

Some of you might have subscribed to my old diary - http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-food-diaries/315636-everydays-sw-day-x-16.html#post7390812 but i've decided that i'm going to rejoin a class this week and so i'd start a new diary to go along with my fresh start!

For those who don't know me, i joined SW in January 2013 and went to class until Dec 2013. I pretty much stuck to plan religiously (give or take the odd social occasion) and saw me slowly but surely losing most weeks (depending on good old mother nature! lol)

I decided to leave group and try to go it alone this year, but i found that my 7 days, 100% on plan way of life started to slip with weekends being the biggest struggle meaning that over all, i was kinda maintaining my weight or playing around with the same 7lbs.

After all this time off and sooo much junk food, dread to think what weight i'll be when i join class tomorrow but i'm going to try my best to take it on the chin and make today day 1.....a new group, new books and a new lease of life is required to help me shift whatever weight i've put on and to make a dent in the numbers to start getting them lower again.

I tend to do green and EE days with the odd red one thrown in

Seeing as i've not cooked/food optimised for weeks....i'm hoping i can start today with ease....so far so good as i've spent the morning cooking to help with the week ahead.

The plan for this week is to get back into SW mode, drink plenty, embrace as much superfree as possible, introduce cooking again (i've pretty much eaten out or had takeaways the whole time!!!) join class, use mini's and IG for support and take everyday as it comes....

I need to get back to the place i was before...where i wasn't tempted by anything and being on plan 100% all the time didn't seem so much like a hardship! :giggle:

hoping some of you lovely lot who followed my journey on the last diary will jump over to this one....and of course, that some new faces come on board for the ride too x

Aww hey you!!

Lovely to hear from you....was gonna ask how you're getting on but you've filled me in and it just sounds busy! Lol

How old is Sam now? Is he doing well?

Great news on no gain for you...every cloud and all that :giggle:

I'll prob have put about a stone on but I'll find out tm when I join a class again...my attempt to go it alone might've saved me money but it saw me go from 7 days on plan to 4 or 5 and that was the only reason I didn't see results!

Aww it's so nice to hear from you...hope everything is great at your end xx

Great first day! I think its great when you've hd a break, it sort of gives a new fire and passion for eating healthy cos you feel so crap from the junk food lol x

Cooey! Well done on the fresh start. I haven't been around on my diary much (I can't be bothered at the moment) but I am sticking to a plan of sorts and slowly losing, and I am still lurking on other diaries...

I am loving your positivity.

I didn't feel crap at all...how weird eh! Prob immune after all those weeks lol. Weird cos before, I felt rotten if I was off it on a weekend!

Yest was the first day on plan and it was the most bloated I'd felt! Think it could've been all the fluid I was drinking...from one extreme to the next!

Joining class later so will see the damage...doesn't matter, can't change anything now so I'll take it and move on!x

well folks...i'm just back from rejoining group tonight and i'm chuffed to bits.

i'd mentally prepared myself that i'd put on an absolute load of weight and had a figure in my head to prepare myself....i was wrong - so wrong and weighed in at 10lbs LESS than i'd imagined!!!



i'm not sure what weight i was before i went off plan but reckon i've put about half a stone one....considering what i've eaten (honestly!!) it's soooo much better than i thought!

when i used to be on plan 100%, i'd have a gain every 4 weeks and sometimes it was 3lbs...ok it would be a hormonal thing and be off the next week but just comparing it to my gain after all the junk i've eaten...i'm pleased!

the consultant is lovely and i really think she'd bend over backwards to help you...but the whole group thing, i'm not sure it' my thing...ringing bells, clapping and whoop whooping for "mary's" half lb off or whatever....i'm not sure it's for me so i dunno that i'd stay to group even though i see the positives of it.

i bought a 6 week count down so i've committed to at least that to get me started, spent a fortune on hifi bars and magazines and came straight home to register my online access stuff

i won't be at class next tues but will goto the one on fri morning's instead so i'm really hopeful that i'd see a decent loss cos i started yesterday and it's over a week til i weigh again.
that was always the plan...tonight was the only night i'd be able to get to group and stay for the whole thing and next week, i'll have to weigh and go with my little one tagging along...might be better when the schools are back etc but for now, i'm just happy

long may it continue....honestly!

anyway...food for today...

DAY - GREEN

Breakfast:
1/2 HEb carrot cake oats with raisins and banana
egg wrap with quorn sausage

other half of my HEb oats - overnight oats with fruit through

dahl loaf with lettuce, tomato and home made coleslaw
pineapple stick

Snack:
nectarine

11 in total for the day

meant to say...i got a little book of summer cos i got the countdown so i'm gonna have a read thru that and the new mag....but the lady who got weighed before me is allowed to have up to 20 syns a day.
the C did say at the new member's talk that she would tell everybody what their allowance was...but last year when i went, i wasn't aware there were different amounts.
must be a weight thing? she said they would go down as she loses (mines is still 15 a day max) but i was just surprised....?x

I think if you weigh over a certain amount you can have extra syns but tbh I never got told this, and I think with the amount of free food you can eat is there any need? Pleased you got on ok and the gain wasn't as bad as expected! X
