Good morning, everyone, and welcome to my maintaining on Slimming World blog where I talk about the meals I enjoy while maintaining my target weight and keeping a healthy balanced diet.
Through December, I am going to try to incorporate as much Christmas themed food as possible while still following SW guidelines (mostly) and remaining within my target range.
Two and a half pounds off at my last weigh in before Christmas and I am just half a pound above my actual target weight. So, so pleased with that.
I may go to another group next Wednesday, just to get weighed; it all depends on how much I have to do and how little time to do it.
But I am good with it all.
Yesterday's meal photos:
Breakfast was some fruit and some raw nuts. No photo.
I had more nuts mid afternoon.
That salmon was tiny but never mind - it's still very satisfying. I decided to have mushrooms rather than peas.
Afters was an easy peeler.
Today's meal plans:
B: potato cakes with egg and smoked salmon 🎄, tomatoes on the side
I will probably add some cheese to mashed potato to make the potato cakes.
SW: one healthy extra A for cheese
L: fish finger sarnie, salad; fruit
Someone mentioned this on one of my Facebook groups and I thought 'Oooooh, yes!' No worries about syns, I can have them.
SW: one healthy extra B and eight syns for fish fingers plus one syn for mayo, assuming I have some.
D: Strictly final nibbles.
Yup, definitely off plan. I intend to enjoy the Strictly final with a wee celebration. I really enjoy Strictly.
SW: off plan but I'm hoping not to go absolutely bonkers!
Exercise: A good walk
Summary:
one healthy extra A
one healthy extra B
whatever the evening is. I can have up to thirty syns on a couple of days each week so I am sure it will be OK i9n the longer term
For information:
The Slimming World structure:
While following the plan, you can have . . .
Any amount of speed and free food - BUT try to have a third of your plate as speed food as a sub for free food, NOT as well as . . . Eat to satisfaction, not to stuffed-ness!
Two healthy extra As (calcium) and one healthy extra B (fibre) - details in the SW pack and on the SW web site/app.
Between five and fifteen syns-worth of synned food - again, details in the pack, site and app. They are a limit to stay within, not a target to hit.
As a target member, I can also have . . .
Another two healthy extras each day
Another fifteen syns up to three times each week
Another fifteen syns up to three times each week
BUT - only if I need/want to. It's a limit, not a target
. . . with the ultimate aim of not needing to count healthy extras, syns, etc at all but just knowing and eating well instinctively.
