Hi everyone
My name is Sara and I'm a serial dieter that has been messing about with the Cambridge Weight Plan and losing putting on the same I would say 3 stone for the last 4 years
.
All of a sudden the penny is suddenly dropping and I'm realising that I'm just not going to get anywhere like that and I could have lost the weight I wanted to many times over. I just kept convincing myself that if I wanted the big losses CWP was the only way despite putting the weight back on and more every time I cheated.
My husband was rushed into hospital with a suspected heart attack in September (which it thankfully wasn't) and to be honest that's when it all changed. We've given up smoking and now feel able to tackle the weight issue for me and the high cholesterol and high sugar (borderline diabetes) for him.
I've bought the starter pack off of ebay for the minute as I commute 50 miles to work and back each day getting home in time for a meeting is a bit tricky - I am if we both get on with the plan well going to join online but for the time being we are seeing how we go. I think I'm doing ok but am a bit confused about the HEX A & B's although am reading everything furiously on hear to make my way through it, I'm sure it will all become a bit clearer once the books arrive.
I've joined my local gym (on a 12 month contract so I have the incentive to stick at it) and have booked some classes and the hubs and I are playing badminton on Saturday so we are I think making good baby steps. I'm going to try to post here every day a food diary and what exercise I'm doing. I think it will keep me on track and hopefully if you see me making mistakes you can jump in and help me out (lol).
So here goes
Monday (yesterday).
Breakfast - 2 eggs scrambled (with HEXA milk 350ml skimmed) and baked beans, melon and pineapple pieces
lunch - salmon fillet cooked in foil with large bowl of chopped cucumber, radish, peppars, celery. Muller light yoghurt
dinner - small chicken breast stir fried with a pack of stir fried veggies and a low fat stir fry sause and egg noodles (HEXB)
snacks - pear, apple, muller light yoghurt
syns - approximately 5 for stir fry sauce (although without the book I'm not sure how to work it out).
Tuesday
Breakfast - 2 eggs scrambled (with HEXA milk 350ml skimmed) and baked beans, melon and pineapple pieces
lunch - large salad with smoked mackeral fillet (outraged to find this is 2 syns per 100g), muller light yoghurt, pear, banana
dinner - sweet and sour mugshot
snacks - 2 satsumas 2 plums
syns - 2 for the mackeral
Any advice gratefully received.
