Getting the head in the right mindset to apply myself back into the SW plan has taken a while. The goodies I bought ‘For Christmas’ are mostly still where I stored them, and in years past we would probably have scoffed the lot by now and not given much thought to tight trousers and tees, or getting puffed just by putting the washing or rubbish out.
Said goodies all have a good date on them, well into the Summer, so I can reward myself on weigh in days ONLY if I’ve lost something. It’s a plan.
The food diary is up and running, and on Day 1, I listed my current weight, target and parameters for SW, and my aim.
There is no timeframe other than getting back in target, and the first official text in is Sunday 3rd January. I have checked the bible which is now sitting alongside my diary so that I can check up on any syn values I may have forgotten.
On December 31st, I cooked a McCheese for Hubby and tomato pasta for me. I added mushrooms and green beans as well as the usual onion and garlic, and the cheese on top was one of the 2 ‘A’ choices I am allowed on plan.
New Year’s Day saw us both having fish, peas and wedges. I added carrots and green beans to my plate and the meal saw a total of 11 syns, 8½ for the fish as it was in breadcrumbs, and 2½ for the 100g of wedges.
I have a pack of mushrooms in the fridge, which are free and speed food, so for my next meal I will work something around that with a jacket potato.
Here we go again!!

I’m also doing it well not SW but I am doing the healthy eating plan! And exercising also! I hope to lose 10 pounds by the end of january!
Go for it Carol Anne. We’ve managed two walks today so far and hopefully will get a third in this evening. I discovered yesterday that by having a banana around 6pm held off the hunger pangs I usually feel in the evening.
Thanks for that tip about the banana, I have some in the fridge so will have one tonight around six I also get hunger pangs in the evening
Fruit is always good as it’s a healthy option. Bananas are filling but can take a while to be digested apparently, so some diets don’t recommend them after a certain time.
Well I have plenty of fruit in. I stocked up on it. I like snacking on fruit
It’s a good start. Good luck!!
Same to you 🙂 good luck
First text weigh in of the year tomorrow. It will be posted about on my blog whichever way it goes.
Love how honest you’re being, it’s really great, I will weigh myself in the morning and post on my blog to then I will weigh myself each week on Sunday from then on
I post how much I lose or gain on my blog as it’s an incentive to keep on track.
I feel the same way. It keeps me accountable, and the support I get is amazing
Exactly.
💕😘
A great way to start the year, Di.
Thanks Robbie. Got to get the head sorted before I can sort out the stomach!
Yes, it is time to get our priorities in order, Di… I am having a long hard look at all things I must stop eating!
Good luck. It’s going to be hard work for me as I’m trying to lose weight, and getting Hubby to put a bit more on!! I’ve checked the dates on everything and there’s no rush, so a treat when I’ve earned one is waiting (out of sight) in the cupboard. The hardest part is watching Hubby have them and know I can’t (or shouldn’t!)
Must make life difficult at times, Di!
It’s an interesting challenge!
You can do it 💜
I’m going for it anyway!
Yes indeed 💜😅
I’m trying to foist some cookies onto my in laws but they haven’t given me a time when I can drop them off. I’m starting to wonder if they even want them… I’m going to freeze them tomorrow so that the temptation will go away!
Freezing is good Val!!
