Slimming World Update

I have to say I have been, well we have both been, awful Slimming World people recently. We haven’t really followed it at all, if I am entirely honest.

We went on holiday and knew that we wouldn’t be following it then, but after that it really hasn’t happened at all.

I put on 5lbs when we were on holiday, and Mr L put on weight too.

I haven’t put on more since then but I haven’t lost weight either.

The chocolate has definitely sneaked back in.

The snacks have sneaked back in and it is time to take control of this again, before we don’t just maintain our weight but we keep gaining weight.

We know what we need to do.

And we have been using excuses not to do what we need to do.

It is easy to say we are tired, its been too hot, school runs, and routines have made us tired.

Its easy to clock them up as reasons that a takeaway is a good idea.

It’s easier to grab a bar of chocolate rather than actually stand and make something healthier and more filling if I am honest.

All of it is easier to do.

After having a week of really not caring what we ate, and eating what we wanted and when we wanted it is hard to get back into the right frame of mind to get back being healthier.

But it is time.

I am fed up of eating things and then knowing I have made the worse of the two decisions about my food.

I am fed up of having some clothes that are now tight as the weight has crept back on.

And I am fed up of not being organised with our food.

Instead I want to be a little bit more adventurous with what we are eating.

We have definitely got into a rut about what we are eating and I don’t think that is helping either to be honest.

Food has become totally boring.

I hate cooking as well, that never helps.

I need to get some inspiration for some healthy alternatives, and find a bit of inspiration for making nice, exciting and healthy meals.

We basically just need to get our heads back into the game, we need to plan more, we need to find some nice different recipes, and we need to get a bit more focused!

And we need to stop talking about it and start doing it!
