Sarah's Slimming World Diary!

[xsarahx]

Hi Hun, just had a little catch up, you seem so determined lately!! your doing fab with all your exercise, is it giving you more energy?
10 syns is a lot for those little chocs!! Have you tried the new mini magnums. I got some creme brûlée inspired ones, think it was 6 for 1.99 in tescos, only 5 or 6 syns, and they had other problems.
Xxxx

Oh I'm rubbish at the mo! Had a completely off plan day today as I ended up going out last night and drank so much! Those Magnums sound lovely!

I've bought a load of quorn and am thinking of trying green days as often as possible. Need to get back on track properly. Seem to have at least one day off a week at the moment!

I'm trying to get back into the swing of things after about 3 weeks off, it's hard. Was good on Wednesday until tea then had chippie for tea! Naughty em! But managed a whole day yesterday! Lol. Just need to take it one step at a time. Might buy me the magazine, get me back in the zone. Lol.
Why not challenge yourself to have a week 100% on? Xx

 

[xsarahx]

That's my challenge now! 7 days til weigh in. No plans this weekend really so no reasons to go off track. Am supposed to go out on Saturday night so maybe I need to just go alcohol free instead.

Off for a swim in a bit so that should make me feel good

 

[EmmaB]

Yeah it will be refreshing. Maybe just stick to a limited amount of drinks, say limit your syns for the day, and stick to say 4 vodkas? Or do you think it would be easier to not drink at all? Xx

 

[xsarahx]

Easier to not drink at all I would say! So hard being at uni sometimes... Caught between wanting to socialise and wanting to do well in losing weight

 

[xsarahx]

Had a great workout this morning! 2 mile walk to the pool, 1.4 mile swim (90 x 25m lengths) of front crawl, nonstop. And then 2 mile walk home! Burned about 1400 calories!

Stopped at the shop and got some good healthy bits. Made a lovely lunch when I got in. Cous cous soaked in veg stock with spring onion, onion, peppers, green beans and cheese (HExA), homemade hummus (1 syn), cottage cheese, salad with beetroot and boiled egg. Loads! Was really satisfying.

Had a Danio yoghurt for breakfast with raspberries and blueberries.

Hoping my photos of breakfast and lunch will work...

Your lunch looks amazing! Fab gym session, I'm impressed.

 

[xsarahx]

Thanks! This charity swim I have in August is such a good way for me to motivate myself to work out now.

When is your charity walk? I did one the other day - was 7 miles but I tracked it as 8.5. Really enjoyed it!

 

[xsarahx]

Trying to do red and green days this week I think. Red today. Plan is...

B: mushroom (sf), onion (sf) and cheese (HExA1) omelette (f) with low fat cottage cheese (f) and ham (f)
L: bacon (f), boiled egg (f), salad (sf), hummus (1 syn) dressing (1 syn), bread roll (HExB1).
D: chicken (f), wrapped in bacon (f) and stuffed with Philadelphia light (HExA2)

Will have 2 x Alpen Lights at some point as my other HExB.

Apparently red days have the best weight loss results, but I find them quite difficult. Found yesterday's green day easier to do.

 

[xsarahx]

Oh and I'm going out tonight and drinking. Wasnt going to drink but it's my last night out with my housemate. I've lives with her for 3 years and this is it now - I wanna get drunk with her!

 

[EmmaB]

Hope you had a good night Hun x

 

[xsarahx]

Thanks! Had a good time although my friend got really drunk so spent most of the time looking after her.

I'm feeling so off track with SW at the moment. Because I knew I was drinking last night, I ate loads of crap during the day. I've done the same today as hungover. I think I need to take things one day at a time. And plan more. Don't know where my motivation has gone!

 

[xsarahx]

So have had a good start today. Thank god!! I've planned up to Wednesday so far - think that's what I need to do. Plan a bit more. Having a red day today

B: Danio yoghurt (1), raspberries, blueberries and banana

L: salad, bacon, quorn, ham, beetroot, cottage cheese, boiled egg, dressing (2), bread (HExB), spread (2)

D: plan is to have chicken, stuffed with Philadelphia and wrapped in bacon. With mushrooms, green beans, carrots and sweet corn.

So I still have a HExB and a HExA left. Will definitely use the HExB on cereal bars at some point. Not sure about the HExA.

 

[xsarahx]

My breakfast and lunch

 

[xsarahx]

I'm going to update this as often as possible as a way of keeping me on track!

Needed some salad so decided to go a bit further away for it rather than the shop opposite! Used track my walk and it was 3 miles altogether and burnt 500 cals.

Dinner... I'm having chicken stuffed with Philadelphia light (HExA), and wrapped in bacon. I'm going to try to do some cauliflower mash... Not sure how well it'll work. Going to have lots of veg on the side.

Also bought some Oatly Chocolate milk which I believe is a HExA so need to check that. If I'm going to be doing more red and green days, I want to have a mix of HExA instead of all cheese!

 

[EmmaB]

You're doing really well Hun, I'm trying to mix things up a bit with my hexs. It's soo easy to just eat the same stuff all the time. You sound really motivated today, that's great news! Xx

 

[xsarahx]

Dinner was amazing! Made cauliflower mash - I used some spread in with it but the sauce that came from the Philadelphia would have been enough.

 

[EmmaB]

Hmmm, how do u get so much sauce? Looked yummy! X

 

[xsarahx]

I use a full HExA of Philadelphia Light and cook it all in a foil package - don't know if that makes any difference. I cook it quite a while - it doesn't seem to matter as the juices keep it moist, but seems to make more liquid

 

[EmmaB]

Ahhh, I'll try it in foil thanks for the tip x
