First day done, and it went OK, I'm not too hungry. Breakfast was a Danone yogurt, lunch a chicken and avocado wrap, tea grilled chicken and pesto pasta with cheese on top. I am a bit peckish now but too late to eat so about to go to bed. Under points too!
My plan for this week is to be under on points each day then treat on Friday and Saturday. Nothing ridiculous - just an ice cream, maybe a cider, a few snacks maybe. The allowance is doable but not overly generous, I've factored in 3 meals (all of which contain points) and plan to cut down on snacks and only snack on fruit during the working week.
The difference between the diets is huge. I can have things Like bacon on a white roll, or a breakfast muffin, even a small McDonald's wouldn't break the bank. Obviously not every day, buy I think the points are great - on sw something would be so high in syns I'd think bugger it and go off track. It's clear here that if I reign it in the rest of the day I can have something I fancy and In theory lose weight. Carbs having points is a bit of a shock but it makes sense, although I'm going to struggle with red meat having points. Huge difference between raw and cooked steak in terms of points - might ask online coach as if I cook in fry light or grill it, and cut off all fat, I can't see a reason why a cooked steak should be more points than raw
Meeting was fab. Completely different to sw, not at all boring, it was about exercise and we had to think about how we could exercise in daily lives which was good. Perhaps not so organised with new starters, I think they rely on the app a bit, that said leader was lovely and talked me through it at the end. Refreshing having someone young leading the group too.
I'm trying not to snack, purely because I'd rather my mains be substantial and nkf snack, or if i do snack so it on fruit. I'm wary of just eating what I want within points as it seems too good to be true and I want a loss Next Week. Went shopping today and loved the app for scanning barcodes. Also loved buying avocado again as I do Like it.
Tomorrows plan is overnight oats - 4 points. I could just have fruit and yogurt but then I'd be starving by 10am. Forgot to pick up ww granola, will do next time. Lunch will be pastrami Wrap - can you tell I've been nicking ideas off the site? And fruit for afters. (5points) Tea is a pork stir fry (11points for the pork and noodles, seems so wrong but must be right). I'm hoping to have tea around 7ish si no snacking before bed. I know there's plenty of 0 foods but I don't want to go ott. Got 3 bottles of water in freezer to hopefully help me cope in the furnace which is currently masquerading as the office!
