Day 5: Well its been a good and interesting couple of days on the slimathon!
However, I feel I have become a walking encyclopaedia of Syns, Free, Superfree, healthy option. I get the feeling that actually you lose weight because of the amount of time it takes you to look up in the 'Syn' dictionary what you want to eat - which means you either don't have time to eat it, or you end up burning it!
Did you know that on the Slimming World Plan you can eat as much Free and super free food as you want.... Superfree is everything that is Fruit and Veg, and free is lean chicken, very lean meet, pasta, non-fried potato's (yes Toby - carbs!!!). There is even a syn-free chip thats available. I even get a daily allowance of dairy and fibre to ensure its a 'balanced' diet. Pretty much its about no sugar that isn't natural sugar, no fat and no simple carbs.
See, I'm becoming an anorak! But all I seem to do is spend my time finding out how many 'syn's I'm yearning to have LOL! Willpower Simon! Willpower!
I have to fill in a diet sheet for a few weeks to show I'm doing ok. Its actually quite interesting to see what you are eating. But its also encouraging that the 'syns' column isn't too bad! :-)
The ladies at the Youth camp yesterday were a real blessing - balanced lunch and pasta in low fat sauce with a small handful of cheese! And plenty of fruit! I think thats (hashtag) #BOOM!!!!
I have decided I'm not going to put myself on any scales during the week, although it does just worry me that I'm eating loads from free and superfree (which I was told I could do by the consultant) and worried that I won't lose anything in weight.
Today was top-up shop day - and much easier than Tuesday, partly because of my newly-acquired anorak skills for knowing what to eat! (but also because Sainsburys Salisbury's range and availabilty is never the best!). Nothing like wondering around Sainsburys thinking... oh, what can I have and what can't I have!
Anyway, all going well. 5 days to weigh in! 6 days to Gym induction. 7 days to pain, I expect!
Thanks for all your continued support and reading. Don't forget - if you haven't sponsored me yet go do it at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/SimonFutcher - please it will help.
