Slimming World - II

Hiyooo! Hope ye are all bossing it this weekend oh good news this week! -3½ and picked up the GREATEST LOSER AWARD! (8st10½ total) More relieved than happy because I worked real hard this week and my body seems to bloat something awful if I step off plan for a few hours 4lbs away from my lowest weight. Gunning for it!

I've two bits of advice this week:

1) Spend syns making regular food more indulgent!
Eg Mayflower curry sauce with free chips; sprinkle grape nuts on yogurt for that crunch; spag bol - Plate up, then add olive oil (1 tsp = 2 syns). It's a slippery richness that scratches an itch for oil while still being on plan (might curb that takeaway urge).


2) Have your syns before 8pm!
This tackles a personal problem, snacking late into the night, even til 2am. I've been keeping to this rule for the past 2 weeks and it's been working well, curbing that! Still have fruit and fat-free yogurt, tea etc; and I still have whatever syn treats, but just earlier in the day. And having it earlier tells my body "nah I've had that already" and so danger time (post-dinner) I'm not looking for that fix!


Thanks for reading this far! Bonus oblig pic with my counsellor Sarah, she's the best! Here in Bettystown, she's cultivated such a fun, supportive and positive group, always bustling with ideas, insight and motivation kick butt this week guys and gals

Well done Jay!

Thank u! How's next week for u? Anything ur looking forward to making?

I saw Stephen's Green Shopping Centre Dunnes has a sushi range (ooh la la Mr fancy pants!) and thought on a day where u use less syns, it'd be a decent healthy treat. Any thoughts on these?



(They're not in the app so I ran them through the syn calculator with chicken/prawn as free food - although it should be lower as rice is there too)

Ha ha, next time snap a pic so I can seeeeee! (Imgur are a great free hosting service)
