It's been over a year since I started to really try to lose weight.
As you know I started following the slimming world plan as I diet, it's really easy. I believe it gives you a good base knowledge of how people should be eating. Teaches people that cooking for themselves is WAY better than processed crap!
Of course I think they promote meat and dairy far too much, but they do cater to vegans quite well.
I've been up and down with my weight but i'm still around 11lbs down from where I started! So I guess that's a positive!
I'm not 3 weeks away from the last weeding of the year, and I SO want to get into the size 12 outfit I got earlier in the year! I'm not sure I can lose that much weight, but I need to get out of the mindset that "it's not going to happen, so why should i try"!!
I've been with my bf for around 8 months now, and this is where it's become hard for me. We both LOVE junk food, it's hard to say no, and I've not been strong enough to say no to when he wants to order Pizza or Wagamama's.
But this is the end of that, and for a few reasons, I want to shift this weight, and I need to stop spending so much money on food!
Yesterday I had a big Ocado shop delivered with loads of salad and fruit and good pulses and grains! It should set me up really well for the next few weeks, I also won some Kohinoor Joy curry's from Instagram and They have 4 sauces, they are high in syns, but I'm going to make 2 with potatoes, one with black beans and mushrooms and one with the Ocado "chicken" pieces. If I go on the syns I know for one of the packets, if i can make 5 meals from each sauce, that's about 5syns per portion, and with some salad or veggies that would be a good meal!
So today is the start of the new week, and me tracking my meals again!
I don't have a Slimming World membership anymore, so my syns may not be 100% accurate, but I am going to be using that principle to stop me binging on things.
I have a dinner out planned in for Wednesday, vegan Japanese, I shall try not to over order and try to eat a fairly good option, going to look at the menu on the day and pre-plan my meal. I am going out on Friday, and my current mindset is that I don't want to drink. I'm usually really good at going out sober, so that's my plan! Saturday I should be seeing the bf, So I shall suggest we cook together. and Sunday is a BBQ, I know the hosts have gotten me the no bull burgers from Iceland and some "cheese" so I hope I can have this with a salad rather than bread.
I've got salads planned in for my work lunches with Avocado, and like many vegans I know on Slimming world, I won't be syning my avo!
Wish me luck that I can keep this positive mindset going!
