Day 2 and am still feeling pretty motivated to lose weight. I really felt like I have got this under control. It wasn't too rigid a plan to stick to and the 3 snacks really helped. I did end up eating pretty late having to feed and water my toddler first but then a mothers work is never done.
Breakfast : I saw a horrid picture a friend put of me on Facebook and asking her to remove it was a futile effort, so I used it to motivate myself! I made myself a inspiration folder in my iPhotos and put all my fat pics into it ! Surely seeing these again and again would whip me into shape, should I need it.
A strawberry milkshake was the choice for the day . I added a water to the shake to bring it up to a pint and then blitzed it in a blender to make it frothy and light. Tasted pretty yummy after that and I sipped it slowly in between toddler breaks and tidying up!
Snack 1: I tried the vegetarian noodle box for this. Big mistake!! It was horrid. Stay away, I repeat step away from the noodles. I had to really force myself to eat them as 1) I couldn't be bothered to come up with another idea for a snack replacement and 2) these snacks are by no way cheap. The noodles cost £3.29 from Asda and to be honest if I wasn't trying to lose weight I would probably have wanted to invest that money into something for my family!
Snack 2: The timing of this was a bit off today as wanted to have dinner with my Hubster so added it in after dinner and a grocery run. This was a heavenly chocolate delight bar and it was my least favourite of the three they have in their product range. It wasn't bad but it wouldn't be my first choice.
Dinner : Dinner was a 600 calorie meal with some meat, cheese and a minuscule amount on rice. I hope my portions are on point here! I guess time will tell.
Snack 3: I didn't get around to this. I have to admit going to bed last night after Day 1 I did feel hungry so may end up eating this bar after finishing my blogpost 😋.
Exercise : A walk around the grocery store. Does that count?!
Overall the day seemed to go well. I did feel a lot more gassier today but that may have been as was not drinking as much water as yesterday. I had two litres yesterday and just about got there today.
Slimfast UK's food options are pretty limited. You need to check out the American equivalent here. There options are mouth wateringly wider than ours! Why can't both companies correspond and bring us more variety here in the UK?! Variety is definitely the spice of life and would make sticking to this diet so much easier!
Day 2 done and am feeling rather proud of myself. Lets hope this lasts!!
Please do let me know what you think of my posts so far. I would absolutely love to hear from you!

Lunch : I had a yoghurt fruit crunch bar and it was okay. Slimfast UK really need to learn from their American counterpart and get us some variety here in the UK. The meal replacements bars are so incredibly boring. That being said, I preferred this flavour to the chocolate one I had yesterday and haven't bought the peanut butter at this point.
