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 ?







FOOD: SLIMMING WORLD PANCAKES



As you may know for the last month or so i've been trying to eat healthily and i've been going to the gym, so far i've lost 1stone and 2lbs. I still have a long way to go, I've been following some slimming world recipes however I don't go to slimming world or anything. I'm just watching what I eat and I've made some drastic changes to my diet. I think this recipe is so easy and with pancake day around the corner a really good healthier option.
I actually followed VIPXO's recipe which you can see here, she's done really well with Slimming World and she's a real inspiration for me. Theres more recipes on her blog aswell.


WHAT YOU WILL NEED: 
FAT FREE YOGURT, I USE A MULLER LIGHT. - HALF A TUB
35g OF PORRIDGE OATS
SWEETENER - 2 TBSP
TWO EGGS

Mix together the oats and the yogurt, leave this overnight in the fridge. I've tried leaving it for about an hour and this works aswell.
The next morning mix in the eggs and sweetener, this is your mix. 
Preheat a medium heat pan, spray with fry light. Pour you mixture in the pan, I made two at a time, I prefer these small american style pancakes. 
After a few minutes flip over your pancake, I use a silicone spatula to lift up the edges to check the other side is ready before flipping it over. 
Once the other side is done pop it on a plate with whatever you want, I try to go for a syn free option usually fruit. I've tried it with banana and blueberries mmm, today I went for strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. 

I think these are so good. The consistancy inside is quite fluffy but remember inside is yogurt and oats so the texture is kinda like rice pudding. I love them I think they are a great alternative to naughty pancakes which you can also have on Slimming World but it's gonna cost you 7 syns.  

888 SPORT KEEPY-UPS CHALLENGE



some photos from the Birmingham City vs Wigan game we went to. 


With the World Cup just around the corner I thought it would be a good time to tell you about 888 Sports latest challenge. All you have to do is send in a video of yourself completing 14 keepy-ups in 20 seconds. You could win £3000 sponsorship for your local team, or donate to a friends team.

I'm actually a big football fan and I will be watching the World Cup :) I'm very excited as I'm going on holiday for the last part of the tournament and will get to watch the games abroad. We will actually be on the plane when the final match is on so when we get back into the UK we will get to find out who won the World Cup!

This is a great challenge for those of you who have kids in a local team or your partner is part of a team and also on a nice sunny day like today it's an excuse to get in the garden and have a laugh. You have to be 18 to enter the competition however that shouldn't stop everyone having a go.

Below is some good tips on how to do keepy-ups so have a quick read through that way you will be better than everyone else haha!
