MY FIRST WEEK AT SLIMMING WORLD



I'VE JOINED SLIMMING WORLD! Saturday was my first weigh in and i've lost 4LB I'm so proud of myself for sticking to plan all week and I seriously can't believe how good it is. I thought i'd share a few things i've been doing this week and what I thought of my first week and my progress.

The main thing that sold Slimming World to me is that fact that you can eat so much, your allowed to eat whatever you want. Nothing is banned on Slimming World however you have 5-15 syns per day and things like chocolate and naughty things are going to cost you syns.

You can have one Healthy Extra A a day so this is like milk  and cheese, this makes sure your getting the right amount of Calcium each day and one Healthy Extra B so this is bread, cereal or porridge and this means your getting the fibre you need.

After this it's pretty easy, you can eat whatever you like some foods are free meaning you can eat as many as you like and some of these free foods are speed foods. You should eat alot of these as they will help you loose weight faster, you should have 1/3 of each plate full of speed foods. Finally syns, you can find out syns for things by searching the Slimming World App or your book that you get at group, if you can't find something you can usually google it and find out the answer.

I've been so full all week, i've been eating lots of salad, veg and fruit which is fab. I've been cooking new and exciting meals and Clints been eating the same as me so he's really enjoying the recipes too.
Even with work i've stuck to plan and we went for an unplanned meal out the other night and I managed to pick something that only cost me a few syns.

I've decided alongside slimming world I need to make an effort to be more fit and exercise more. I don't want to be all flabby so I'm trying to tone at the same time. I have made an effort to exercise this week. I've been going for walks and doing my fitness dvd which has really motivated me.

I had my first weigh in on Saturday and i'd lost 4LB which is amazing. I'm so happy I decided to join Slimming World and I can't wait for my next weigh in! It's really exciting and everyone at my group is lovely and my consultant is fab!

If you have any questions about Slimming World feel free to leave a comment or email me and i'll try and answer for you, but as I said this is my first week. I've made a Slimming World instagram account so if you want to follow me then here's a link https://www.instagram.com/amypyt_sw/  I am sharing lots of meals and fitness photos.

I'm loving it guys and i'm so glad I decided to join! Let me know if your part of Slimming World and how much weight you've lost ?







REVIEW : USA PRO FITNESS COLLECTION






 USA PRO Body Bands & USA PRO Resistance Bands*

I recently joined the gym and really got into it! I was concentrating on trying to tone up so I was going on the tredmills and rowing machine but also concentrating on using the other equipment like weights. These products from USA PRO are great for people who don't want to sign up to the gym or even want to continue working out from home. The body bands and resistance rope are great for working on the upper body. 

Get the resistance rope here - It's great for working on that upper body strength. I found it really easy to use and it was really stretchy for those who want to push themselves that bit extra but its also great for taller people because you can stretch it further. I like that its got the big handles making it really easy to hold. The handles are also really comfy so your hands don't hurt during your workout! The resistance rope is on sale now and is only £7.49

The Body Bands are on sale for £5.99 - They are also great for toning. You can use them in different ways so you can use them to tone the upper body or you can use the body bands in other ways,  you can easily google different ways to tone using body bands for loads of really good ideas. In the box you get 3 different colour bands and they are different weights so you get a light, medium and heavy band.
I really enjoyed using the body bands and felt my arms ache showing that I was toning my arm muscle . 

Both of these products are lightweight and easy to pack so if you wanted to bring them along to the park or to exercise on your way to work or even if you want to work out whilst your holiday. They are so lightweight and space saving that you could easily pack them away without worrying about the weight! 

Get yours now whilst they are on sale and with this lovely weather were having get out in the garden instead of being cooped up in the gym and save yourself some money !
