Mrssavageangel Slimming World – Week 4

04/02/2016 by MrsSavageAngel Leave a Comment

That’s right! Week 4 already. I can’t believe I’ve been back at Slimming World for a proper month already. It’s gone so quickly and yet it feels like no time at all. I thought today, I’d look at the differences I’m seeing in a month of optimised eating, because as I’ve said before, it’s not all about the number on the scales.

1) I feel less ill.

I spent the last few months of 2015 in constant pain. I believe that was in part down to the huge amounts of stress I was accepting into my life (anxiety anyone?) but I know it was also probably down to the large amounts of fat in my diet. I was diagnosed with multiple gallstones about 18 months ago and there is nothing that will inflame them more than constantly eating high fat foods. I knew that then, I just didn’t care enough to stop it. But now I have, I can really feel the difference. The pains in my ribs have all but gone. And you don’t realise how much something was bothering you until it’s gone.

2) As alluded to above I am less stressed.

I made the decision to stop letting my anxiety about Oscar ‘s Autism and how this will affect our lives rule my days and started eating better. But the two really go hand in hand. The better I eat, the better I’m able to cope. The better I cope, the more I can focus on looking after myself and eating better. The ‘vicious circle’ works both ways! Who knew?

3) I’m trying new things.

Not just new foods, but new things for me, things I’ve wanted to do for ages. Next Tuesday I’m starting my first ever Yoga course. I’m super excited and can’t wait to get stretching and breathing. My hope is it will help my fitness, but also support my attempts to keep my stress levels down!

4) Clothes are starting to fit better.

Things aren’t mega tight like they were a month ago, which makes me more comfortable; both physically and emotionally. And this week I tried on my beloved biker jacket that I haven’t been able to wear for months. Four weeks ago I could barely get it on, let alone done up. Now look!

5) I’m feeling proud of myself.

Because I know I’ve worked for this. And also not for looking back and comparing and whinging, but cracking on. This is a new journey and it’s led me here (so far)

Yes, last night I lost another 2lb, which takes my total in four weeks to 8.5lb lost.

So there you go. Four small weigh ins and what a change. I’m slightly blown away by that actually. But I’m loving everything Slimming World is giving me right now. And I can’t wait to see what the next month brings.

Love

Instagram post 2191366355101899009_463737161 Oscar’s school are so clever. He came home with this yesterday, proudly telling me he had to build it “largest to smallest”. His teacher had drilled all the holes, he had to choose which pieces to use and thread them on! Teaching concepts through Christmas crafts. What a great idea AND a gorgeous decoration for me! #everydaylearning #learningthroughcrafting #christmastree #barktree #biggesttosmallest #autism

But he wrote it all himself and check out that amazing handwriting! Well done dude I’m sure Santa will be able to track down the odd Tomy train for you (because Santa is a freakin’ eBay genius!) #lettertosanta #post #christmaslist #tomythomastrains #helovestrains

Oscar and Cecily played so well together and we got to drink champagne, eat amazing food and be thankful for one another (Cecily was thankful for ketchup. Oscar was thankful for Christmas presents and many other things, all through the meal 😂). #friendsgiving #thanksgiving #turkeyday #champagne #friendship #thankfulforyou
Instagram post 2187806441746136769_463737161 I saw this @stevesspoons Sweet Chestnut Spatula in Yard Market over a week ago and didn’t buy it. I’ve been thinking about it ever since. So today I popped in and treated myself to an early birthday present. You can keep your Birkin handbags and your Manolo Blahniks. It’s beautiful kitchen wear that makes me happy. #yesiminmyfourties #whatofit #craftmanship #handmade #shoplocal #surrey

Print your own Dylan’s merch today, for free

Black Friday deals don’t really seem like a Dylan’s sort of thing. So instead of running an offer for something you don’t need we thought we would do something a bit different.

Today if you have an old shirt, bag, or anything that could do with livening up. Bring it in to Dylan’s and upcycle it to some Dylan’s merch for free.

We have screen printing set up and ready for you to transform that old T-shirt. 
We’ve also go black cones and black ice cream!
