Half a week in.

I am actually surprised at how well I am managing at the moment. Adam and I are loving trying out the new foods that we are cooking and I find things taste so much better when they are not covered in fat like the usually are. So far we have had:

Smash Pizza
Pasta Carbonara
Burger and Chips

All of these were Syn free on slimming world (maybe using some healthy extras) and they tasted amazing all of them.

I have been saving syns for chocolate as we all know how much I love and need my chocolate but I am also finding I do not necessarily need that much either. Everyday I have used between 5 and 10 syns where I thought I would be struggling to keep it down under the 15 mark as recommended. I am really surprised at how much it fills me up and how when I go to the fridge for a snack I am already automatically bypassing the chocolate and going for celery or some grapes.

I really can't wait till my first SW class on Wednesday (I have been running it alone this week) to see how much I have lost and really looking forward to taking my mum and having her join in this journey with me too.


Lots of Love
