Waiver Day on Slimming World is day Three!!
Not sure about you, but I find there is always a wavier day on Slimming World. That day in the week where you think I have tried so hard for such a long time and nothing to show for it. For me it’s day 3. I know, not enough time, but day three is my challenge day.
Day three was a Sunday, meaning we were about to have my favourite meal of the week. Roast Pork, roast potatoes, cabbage, broccoli, carrots and sometimes sweet corn. I also use some of my syns on gravy granules. I love to smother my potatoes in gravy. This is the one day I know that I will stick to my plan. Breakfast was satsumas, grapes and apples covered in Greek fat-free yoghurt and cinnamon. Then it’s waiting until lunch time. We eat at about 3 p.m., so a big meal will keep you stuffed until bedtime. I may grab a bliss bar or packet of crisps at about 7:30 p.m. Got to love a roast.
Day 3 is typically my waiver day on Slimming World
You are so good on days one and two that all the weight should have fallen off by now. But alas, no, it’s still onwards and upwards. I have been thinking about my goal for this week. I want to lose 4 pounds. When I first started Slimming World, I lost 5 pounds, but I don’t think it will be as good this time.
Nevertheless, this is going to be my target. My first target that I will concentrate on is 10 pounds. Ideally I want to lose three stone, then I can call it a day. I don’t want to spend my life trying to lose weight. I want to spend my days at target. A very different proposition. However, at my age, I don’t think I have three stone on me to lose. I don’t want to end up look haggard and gaunt. My first goal is the that pesky 10 pounds in six weeks.
My home wouldn’t be complete without a dog, and my little Molly is fantastic. A small terrier that gives you all the love you need. Today is her walk. That means she selects the route when we go out, and I follow her. Today, she went to the allotments to quickly wander around before heading back uphill via a local field. She loved it.
One of the other plans I am undertaking during the next 6 weeks is to turn my bedroom into a haven of tranquillity. So, today, I also spent two hours decluttering and tidying. I have one quick question: how can someone have so many odd socks. How does that happen? Is there some sock monster that only likes odd socks? Ridiculous.
Binning old Clothes
I have an issue throwing away some of my older and larger clothes. I keep telling myself that I may need the again. Alternatively, I might take them in and redesign them. I’m not sure I have the skill, but I hope this decluttering will make me ditch some clothes that no longer work for me. I am pretty proud of myself today. I selected a pair of trousers, a top and a cardigan for work. After looking at the outfit in the mirror, I looked like a drowned rat. The clothes swamped me. Instead of ignoring the look, I changed to better-fitting clothes and looked much better.
This may sound like a silly remark to make, but most of us who are on diets have massive body issues. I have one. I don’t know where it came from or when it will go. Its there and has been there most of my life. I expect it will always be there. It rears its head occasionally, like today, but other times, it is well under control, and I manage it.
To be clear, I don’t see myself as two sizes larger than I am. I don’t think of myself as obese anymore. I look in the mirror and imagine how I want to look. My tummy needs to be flatter and I would like smaller breasts and a waist. That’s it. I’m getting there, and once I reach my ideal weight, I will find something else to focus on.
I am still passionate about my weight loss plan. Day three is under my belt, and I look forward to day four.
Fear not. The banana issue will be shared later in this blog.
