If you have read the last few posts, you will know I joined Weight Watchers last week. I was really apprehensive about it, and nervous for my first meeting. As mentioned in the last post about #OperationWeddingDress, I found it to be a good place to be at the meeting, and all the ladies were really friendly.
Over the week, I have eaten really healthily, completely cut the crap, but allowed myself one treat on Sunday. A typical day for me would be:
Breakfast = Banana (0pts) or a Weight Watchers Yoghurt (1pt)
Lunch = 2 Slices wholemeal bread sandwich, with ham, lettuce and utterly butterly (5pts)
A Banana, handfull of Strawberries or a Plum. (0pts)
Dinner = Quorn bolognese, making own tomato sauce using passata (around 11pts)
Pudding = I'm not usually having pudding but if I do, a Solero Ice cream is only 3 points! It's all good.
So Ed and I have been shopping at Lidl on a Sunday just to get bits for the week, and fresh fruit and vegetables. Their prices are so low, we had a trolley full for £31.00! Also, their fresh produce actually lasts me the entire week, a bag of crunchy salad from Sainsburys lasts 2 to 3 days max, whereas Lidl's can last up to 6 days! That really helps because it isn't costing as much as it usually would to eat healthy.
The only treat I had was that we went out for a meal at Barton Marina which is a lovely canal-side place nearby, and I had three courses. I was still careful with what I chose beside the pudding, a dark chocolate cheesecake with white chocolate ice cream, ooo it was yummy. I'd got plenty of points left to enjoy this treat, so Weight Watchers doesn't ban the bad stuff completely.
So, less or the boring stuff, I had my first weigh in on Tuesday, and my Sister in law came with me for moral support! I was really nervous for stepping on the scales and really hoped it would be a 3lb loss, which would make my weight 14st 6. I don't mind telling you guys, your part of the journey! So we had everything crossed, I stepped on, and it said 14st 3! I'd lost a whopping 6lbs in a week! I can't literally believe it, it didn't even feel that hard to do! I also won the raffle too and got some recipe cards, so it was my lucky week. I did myself a weight watchers curry and treated myself to a Solero to celebrate. Now for the next week!
I stepped on my scales this morning, and this is what is said.
Obviously my scales aren't the same as those at the meetings, there's a slight differ in weight, but 14st 0.6! I'm so excited for it to say 13st something, I won't have been that weight for at least 2 years. It really is giving me the boost to carry on going to these meetings, and I'm actually enjoying it, I never thought I'd say that! Next weigh in is Tuesday 14th August at 7pm!
