Worth it or not?

So as you know last week I decided to try out slimming worlds SP week. And it was hard! Cutting out things like pasta and potatoes for a week was a major change, and yes it did get my trying new recipes and things I will admit and my fruit consumption went up a lot BUT I personally just found it stupidly hard and by the end of the week i was slipping up on chips down town and the odd cake. Although these were well within my syn allowance I feel like the deprivation just spun me out of control and I ended up bingeing a bit on the bad stuff once the week was over. It didn't help either that I only lost 2lb for all that hard effort. As i can loose that much on the normal plan in all honesty for myself, i just don't think its worth it at all.

So after a few days of being terrible I am trying to get myself back into the swing of eating nice nutritious on plan foods and hopefully I can get back to loosing a bit more but without all the extra hard effort.

Start of a Speedy Week

This last month I haven't done so well with the slimming world journey, I am still 15lbs off since I have started but bad habits have been abound and I have remained too stagnent for my liking.
Which brings us to this week!
In order to give myself a much needed kick up the bum I have decided to try a SP week. SP is basically a slightly stricter form of slimming world, where you focus on the speed foods (more greens less potatoes) and protein etc
I decided to do a week and quite strictly (no FREE but not speed foods etc) in order to (hopefully) loose a fair bit and give myself a boost to keep going.

Day 1 was yesterday and although I didnt do amazingly well with my syns, overall it was actually quite good. Lovely filling salads with eggs and pickled onions to boot, lean meats and lots of lovely fruit. Nom.

Lunch - chicken and turkey salad sooooooo filling!

Dinner - Burger in a Bowl with its delicious sauce nomnomnom!
