SW Week One

I've decided that this little blog is the best way to keep spam off my Facebook and Twitter profiles and not bore all my friends to death!

Today was my first weigh in at Slimming World. We went to our first class last week, as I said already, and so this morning I saw the results of this week. I've lost 3.5lbs! :)

I didn't know what to expect - my friend lost 7 her first week, another last 2. I'm almost disappointed by mine, but it's sustainable, I hope, and we've enjoyed this week.

And we've eaten really well. Those cupcakes are chocolate and berry - and very delicious! I came home from work one night to a full roast pork dinner with balsamic roasted baby carrots and red onion, roast potatoes and the biggest mountain of broccoli and mangetout you've ever seen - and best of all, it's all 'free' foods: we'll have gravy next time, which is just 1 syn (of your daily 5-15) but yum yum yum. We even had chicken and chips for free, and because it's all home made I'm getting the satisfaction of cooking once more.

Happy times. Here's to next week - another 2.5lbs takes me into the next weight bracket, 3.5lbs would be half a stone!

I'm making a lemon roulade tonight to celebrate - 1/2 a syn for the whole thing (but we'll just have a slice each.... maybe!)

ETA I was thinking about starting a separate blog, to start afresh, but I've reread old posts and now I think it's important to keep them there, as a reminder of where I'm coming from. I hope these continue to be much more positive steps.
