Weight Loss Diary #6

This is my first weight loss diary post for two weeks as due to personal reasons I didn’t weigh in last week. It is something I may talk about in the New Year – I am not sure yet – but it did mean that I thought my weight would go to one extreme or the other, especially over Christmas. I thought I would ever put on a lot or lose a lot due to circumstances beyond my control and also the gorging I did at Christmas.

I did find myself being a bit more careful this Christmas than I have done in previous years. I seemed to be more aware of the food that I was stuffing into my face but that also didn’t stop me eating nearly a whole box of Milk Tray to myself…oops. I’m so motivated from now to stick to plan though – I’m allowing myself a day off on New Year’s Eve but apart from that I plan to be very good until next weeks weigh in,

I’ve found myself following quite a few Slimming World Instagram accounts this past week. I didn’t realise they were a thing but I am finding some of them invaluable, it is great to be able to see others on their weight loss journey and take inspiration (and often recipe ideas) from them. I can’t be bothered with the faff of making a whole new account just for my SW stuff but I have started documenting my weight loss journey on my own Instagram – I plan to share every week what I have gained or lost and also share some food ideas throughout the week if I remember.

So how did I do this week with Christmas and a lot of stress? I lost half a pound. I just need 1lb to get to my half stone lost so I’m aiming for that for next week.

I’m so motivated for my weight loss journey for 2016 and will be sharing what I plan to do differently in 2016 in a blog post early next week. Wish me luck!
