Slimming tortoise :o)
Well, I've been active on the forum for a few weeks now (and lurking a lot longer!) and my weight loss has been a bit up and down with rallies, weddings, weekends away etc.
I thought if I keep a diary on here as well as for myself at home some of the more experienced among you can perhaps give me some pointers? Even when I stay religiously on plan I don't seem to be achieiving great losses - indeed I'm lucky to lose a pound a week!
I have been doing EE up 'til now as I find it hard to use 2 HExA & HExBs most days and I also like to mix and match food rather than have purely veggie or meatie days, but I think I might try alternating between the 3 plans for a couple of weeks and see if this helps.
I am also starting the 30 day shred today. I already do at least 30-60 mins a day exercise walking a large and enthusiastic Doberman up and down the hills round about (we live in mid-Wales), but perhaps more will help speed things up a bit?
Anyway - day one: EE
HExA - 350ml skimmed milk for tea and coffee
HExB - 1 tbsp sunflower oil for Actifry roasties
Breakfast: Melon, grapes, kiwi, apple and blueberry fruit salad with a peach fat-free Activia yoghurt. 500ml cup of tea.
Lunch: Jacket spud with beans and 42g mozarella cheese (6 syns). 500ml cup of coffee.
Dinner: Roast chicken dinner with skinny rosemary and paprika roasties (see HExB) and broccoli, peas, carrots, butternut squash. 4 tbsps gravy made with juices (3 syns). 500ml cup of coffee.
Drinks: 2 x 500ml bottles of water + 4 x 500ml cups of tea/coffee
If I fancy a snack I will have more fruit salad or perhaps a banana with a Muller yoghurt.
Total syns today = 9
