February Diet week 8/9 | Time To Quit The Booze

So it turns out I’m allergic to Slimfast. All the weeks of itching all over was not due to using biological washing powder, but to the delicious diet shakes I was having on a daily basis. As I quit Slimfast mid-week I treated myself on Thursday and Friday to a Subway sandwich. Tasty as it was, it was expensive and double the calories of my previous lunches. I decided to switch to Weight Watchers soups for the following week to see if that helped.

Overall the numbers are positive as I have lost weight and even reduced my BMI. Sadly, due to my Subway and a weekend of normal food my body fat increased.  As the last couple of weeks have been quite busy I failed to write last weeks blog post so I am doubling up this week.

In addition to my new Weight Watchers soup diet I also decided to go without alcohol for a week to see the effect on my weight. This might not seem a big deal for most people but I drink every night and I have done for as long as I can remember. My average is around two glasses a wine a night, but that often becomes three more often than not. At the weekend I also have an additional gin and tonic so the thought of going without made me nervous, which is a worrying sign.

Amazingly I made it an entire week and I actually think it changed me a little… In the evenings I have been sticking to tea which was for the best as the girls had a bad week of sleeping as they both a colds.

I am going to continue on my soup diet and attempt to go without alcohol whenever possible. As the Slendertone belt is now out of action due to overwork pads I need all the help I can get.
