I've not lost a huge amount nor have I dropped loads of dress sizes but people are noticing and i feel good. I've lost 21lb up to now and my journey to be and a yummy mummy is far from over, every little helps.
I've upped my water intake and started using an app that records my fluid intake which helps me stay on track with that. If I'm honest I've not noticed all the differences that I'm supposed to the only absence is the bloating has gone I use to get from diet coke.
The other thing that's helping me stay on track is mine and hubby's bet to stop being wasteful, we have stopped all take aways including getting lunch while we at work. This has worked because we also not buying many snacks and there's no late night snack runs either.
I've been exercising more too due to the nice weather we've been having I've been taking advantage of the beautiful park we live near and going for power walks round the lake. I've been really enjoying this time and so has the dog. Its not making much impact on my weight as yet but its getting my some fresh air. I also sorted out back garden out after our bad winter and that was a job an a half due to living at the back of a vally, my whole body ached when I had finished which should have done me some good.
I've also been setting myself little challenges for example the 777 challenge where you eat speed foods, only have 7 syns and drink at least 7 glasses of water for 7 days. I've done the healthy extra b challenge where you try different b choices over 7 day. I find doing challenges like this stops me from getting bored and keeps food optimising fresh and fun.
looking at it over the last few week its definitely something that fits in with me and my young family. It promotes healthy eating without cutting anything out and I think it shows a good example to my son. its a balanced diet without going from one extreme to the other like a lot of diets that are "fashionable" at the moment. As a mother to a young and impressionable children I think its import for me to show this and I think slimming world helps me do just that and I don't say diet in front of Him, We all eat the same thing, I fill hubby and toddlers plate with 1/3 veg or salad and give fruit as snacks instead of pre packed foods just what I do for myself.
I think now I'm on the right track and I have changed how I look at food optimising the worlds my oyster, yeah I'm going to have the odd binge, yes I'm going to have weeks i gain but he main thing is I have slimming world there to help me the right way. When me and my husband decided to add to our family I will definitely be getting my midwife to sign me the forms to let me continue as I know it will be safe and healthy for me and the baby while controlling my weight , something I wish i had done in my first pregnancy.
