Wednesday today and my favourite day of the week! I am celebrating the day by cooking a curry from the Slimming World magazine this week which is free! Also it is the Bake Off final so I will sitting down with a hot chocolate as my treat to watch the final three challenges and see who is crowned the winner!
I have had another good day with my food so I am pleased and hoping tomorrow brings a good loss when I go back to group for the first time! Fingers crossed!
Total syns today 5.5 which is really good!

Tweety's Slimming World Adventure - Day 5
It is Tuesday and I am feeling better today! My body is still hurting but it was easier to get out of bed this morning and my hand isn't too bad!
And I was still fired up to have another good food day! so that is just what I had, an amazing food day! A good breakfast with a massive salad for lunch and the last portion of pasta for dinner! And whilst in the super market getting the ingredients for tomorrows tea I got some jelly pots which are only 1/2 a syn each so winner all round!
No gym tonight but then I had other things to do and my body needs a rest!

Tweety's Slimming World Adventure - Day 4
Oooo so getting out of bed this morning was only the first challenge to contend with then came getting in the shower, getting out the shower, getting dressed, sitting to eat, driving to work, sitting at my desk, going to the toilet, walking to the warehouse, typing, writing and the list goes on. MY body hurts from head to toe and everywhere in between. I have a lot of bruises and my left hand has a very swollen knuckle and sore fingers from the start of the race (which is now a tradition I hurt myself at the start of the race, well at least it gets it out the way)
I did go to the gym tonight, I'm not made trust me, it would only be worse if I didn't because sitting down for too long just makes it harder to stand up and move! So I did two 15 minutes walks on the treadmill and a good stretch session in between and it felt so much better!
My food today has been awesome, scrambled eggs on toast for brekkie, a bumper tuna salad for lunch, fruit and a yoghurt for snacks then more pasta for dinner! Oh and a cheeky hot chocolate before bed! Total syns for the day 6 (WINNER!!)

Tweety's Slimming World Adventure - Day 3
Today is the day! I have been apprehensive all week but when the day came I was ready and raring to go! I don't know what turned me around, I think it must have been the energy of the people in my team from the moment I met them at the gym even though it was the coldest morning of the season so far and it was Sunday morning at 7am! and then when we arrived at the site I just wanted to get start on the course, it looked scary but I wanted to get round it!
I started the day with a good breakfast of weetabix and skimmed milk, followed by a banana when we arrived and jelly beans for sugar before we started!
And so 4 hours and god knows how may obstacles, water pools, running, slipping, rope swinging, cargo net scrabbling, type jumping, tunnel crawling and electric shocks later... plus a bit of fire hopping we crossed the finish line and were awarded with an official Tough Guy donkey and a mug of hot chocolate and a chocolate digestive or two... shortly followed by removing all
muddy wet clothing and warming back up again!
I calculated that 4 hours at 500 calories an hour is 2000 calories burnt! So I treated myself to a portion of chips because I had more than burnt my daily allowance in one go and it did stop me having a takeaway for tea so I think that is a winning situation! I had another portion of my pasta instead!
All in all an awesome day and here are some photos taken by various members of the team...

Tweety's Slimming World Adventure - Day 2
I got the day off to a good start, by getting up early and having a good breakfast before heading out to take some photos. And as it was the day before my next big challenge, Tough Guy, I needed to make sure I ate right so I cooked myself a lovely pasta dish and then treated myself to a fudge... well two but 11 syns on the second day wasn't too bad! Overall a good day!

Tweety's Slimming World Adventure - Day 1
Friday 3rd October
You may be thinking, starting something new on a Friday isn't the way to go and I think you might be right, I did okay during the day but when it came to the evening I went out for some drinks (should have been quiet drinks) which turned into dancing in the kings head so totally blew my syns but as I am not a big drinker this was the first time in ages I had been out.
And I am pleased that I managed to walk away from chocolate earlier in the evening having gone to the shop... I left without buying anything!
Saturday is set to be a better day!

Tweety Rejuvenated
So it has been a long time since I have actually taken care with the food I am eating and teaming it with the exercise I am doing! I was so pleased at the start of the year when I lost 8kgs in 8 weeks but I let it go so easily and it has taken me 6 months to get back my mojo to think about the food that goes in my mouth and I have chosen to do this by going to Slimming World. I did it once before 2 years ago and I did well for a few weeks but I am going to be honest here I was a bit uninspired by the consultant at the group and I stopped going to group. I tried to continue on my own but I was in a new town having just moved out from my parents to Northampton for work, I was living on my own and cooking for myself for the first time and without some support I just went back to eating what I liked as I could.
But now I want to start something and I will be the face of it so I want to be the best version of myself!
And with Tough Guy 10km this weekend I have been training still but I haven't seen any of the results I was seeing earlier in the year as I trained towards Tough Mudder (which I have to say was amazing fun) I am apprehensive about Sunday but I will be alright on the day and will give it my all!
Let the journey move forward!
My target remains the same I want to be under 10 stone which is about 64kgs.
