Day 2 of Kay's Soup Challenge

Well I'm not very good at this.
Recently its been hard enough for me to stick to SW at all, let alone introducing a really complicated and difficult challenge.
And starting on Easter Weekend?! Am I mental...??

Kay's Soup Challenge - 1 week of low carb, soup-eating fun!

Kay is a member on my beloved site minimins and has come up with the souper (get it) challenge which I had planned to embark on today.

I was very VERY unprepared. Still am (?)

Last night I went to bed at about 11pm, rather smug with this weeks STS and pondering soup. Was woken up at about 2:50am (by my partying boyfriend who fell asleep quite promptly), and I thought about soup for about an hour and a half. Then I was up at 6am chopping courgettes.

My soup was actually delicious!!! A bit watery (very watery) but also very yum!


Date: 17/4/14
Day of Challenge: 1
Plan: Red
Water intake: 1.5l (so far)
Carbs: sushi (oops)
Body magic: 45 minute walk to work (2.2 miles) carrying 1.2l of soup in one hand and 1.5kg of yogurt and fruit on my back. 2.2 miles home. 1.5 miles to friends and back. 1.4 miles to town and back
Syns: 5 from sushi (16 from vodka!)
Soup: garlic (SF), onion (SF)(S), red pepper (SF)(S), courgette (SF)(S), passata (SF)(S), seasoning & stock


Do you know what though. I’m not going to do the guilt/ punishment thing this week. If I do one day of the challenge- great. If I do 7- great too!

We’re so good at beating ourselves up but would never talk to anyone else in the same way. (As if I’ve had a revelation!) Seriously though, why is that?

Anyway I’m going to be very sloshy with all this water, tea, yogurt and soup. Bleurgh

Here's to the next 6 months!

The last 6 months have been rocky, to say the least, but that's life and everything isn't going to go on hold just so I can lose weight...

Week 26. 6 months of Slimming World

A quote from myself 6 days ago:-

"I need to see a result this week. I need to.

I joined SW Wednesday 9th October 2013. Next week will be Wednesday 9th April 2014. Exactly 6 months. 8lbs in 6 months.
I need a loss this week. No pressure.

Consultant gave me a food diary and I'm going to try to come back on here [minimins]. Keep myself on track."

This is whats happened...

Day 1-

I had a 33.5 syn piece of chocolate fudge cake and scoop of vanilla pod ice-cream
I also found out that sainsbury's own veggie mince is not free- oops.

Day 2-

3.5 syns but cheated with my cereal- didn't measure and had shed loads

Day 3-

I drank A LOT of vodka. Food was pretty much good as gold though. I forgot to have superfree with dinner

Day 4-

Back on it. More sneaky cereal but lots of fruit and veg

Day 5-

Supposed to be as good as gold. Started with a 6.5 syn nutrigrain which I thought was a HeB! Ended with a bunch of sugar and syrup filled cocktails and a jaegarbomb.
 

Day 6-

Today

NO syns today. NONE.
The plan:-
2x eggs (F), strawberries (SF)(SS)
apple (SF)(S)
banana, (SF)

salmon fillet (F), garlic (SF), onion (SF)(S), beansprouts (SF)(S), peppers (SF)(S), noodles (F), light soy sauce (F)
mango (SF), kiwi (SF)(S), pineapple (SF)(S) and grapes (SF)
peach activia 0% (F), strawberries (SF)(SS)
Dinner- ?
HeA-? HeB-?
