Week Six At Slimming World

I was back on plan this week and managed to do damage limitation from being off-plan last week. So much so that I actually managed to go and lose weight which I definitely wasn't expecting! I went over my syn allowance a couple of days but in order to limit the damage I used flexible syns the rest of the week so overall, I stayed under my total syn allowance for the week. 

1.5lbs lost 🎉

Wednesday was my first time trying rocket. Sadly I won't be having it again because I got my first taste of what a partial blockage feels like and oh boy it wasn't fun! My stoma was extremely unhappy that night. I'll still be having the chorizo, rocket and lemon linguine again though, just without the rocket because it's a delicous dish and a favourite of my mum and dad's. I plan on posting the recipe on my blog for anyone else who wants to try it. It's super and simple and only has 4 ingredients so be sure to keep an eye out for it.

Sunday was my first time trying sweet potato since getting my stoma and was rather nervous because they are more fibrous than normal potatoes. I was so desperate for my stoma to be okay with sweet potato because it's one of my favourite foods and luckily Archie was absolutely fine with it so I can eat all the sweet potato I want - just as long as I remember to chew properly which I've found is the key to being able to eat fibrous foods.

Next week is my birthday week so I'm not sure how it's going to go. I'm going to try and stick to plan as much as possible but I'm still going to enjoy myself - my mum is making me coffee flavoured cupcakes with coffee flavoured icing and a salted caramel centre as my 'birthday cake'. I can't wait because I had them last year and they were delicious! We're also going out for a meal on my birthday which we do every year and I'll definitely be indulging in a cocktail or two - it would be rude not too! I'm not entirely sure if I'll lose any weight next week but I don't mind because at least I enjoyed myself and know that I can always pull it back the week after.

Until Next Time,
