The Slim Fast Diet And 4 Reason Why I’ve Started It. Hello friends, happy Thursday. So how are you today?

Hopefully I will keep it up and maybe it will motivate anyone who wants to lose a few pounds too?.

The Slim Fast Diet And 4 Reason Why I’ve Started It:

(Updated post. I started this challenge last year but with losing my dad at the time I was not in the right mind set for this. So now I am giving it another go!).

I really need to do something about my ever growing waistband!!

After Christmas I decided to lose a bit of weight so I can start running again. But guess what?

I made a bit of effort, done a bit of jogging and joined up at a gym but then I noticed a whole 2 months has gone by and I am still not further ahead!

So from this week I have decided to take on the slim fast for 4 weeks (or maybe beyond!?) and write about it here to keep me motivated and focused.

Yep, as I started to write this post my Son was eating some KFC chicken before I he goes to work!! Will power has already started!!

Slim Fast Diet And My Dreams To #FeelFabulous: I am trying out the Slim Fast 3.2.1 plan. What Is The Slim Fast 321 Plan, You might Ask?

Breakfast- Meal Replacement | Snack- Under 100 Kcal | Lunch- Meal Shakes or Bars |

The Slim Fast Diet And 4 Reason Why I've Started It

Here are 4 Reasons Why I Have Started The Slim Fast Diet:

1.) I Want To Lose Some Weight But Need A Kick Start Plan To Help Me On My Way.

Firstly, I feel like I need a healthier meal plan routine to help start me, get onto not a diet as such but a healthier lifestyle.

If I can follow this plan for a month it will help me get into a routine of stop running to the biscuit tin every 30 minutes and stop snacking on crisps without realising I am doing it!!

I am hoping it helps me think more about my next meals. Not whilst I am snacking on crappy snacks and sugary treats.

2.) I Feel Heavy When I Run And Keep Injuring Myself.

Secondly, I really want to lose some weight for my running. When I go out running I can feel my weight that I have gained over the last few years.

I get a bit of knee pain now when I run so I really want to lose some weight before I get back into running properly again, so it is not too much weight on my knees.

When I run I my knee hurts for a week or so after. I can feel the extra weight pounding down on my knees. Which is not great!!

3.) My Clothes Are Too Tight.

Thirdly, i love my clothes but mostly everything is too tight for me now. I would love to lose some weight so I can get in them comfortably again without having to by a whole new wardrobe.

I have so many pretty Summer clothes I want to wear this year!!

Why Slim Fast And Not Any Other Diet?

4.) Why Slim Fast And Not Any Other Diet?

I have tried a few diets over the years but Slim Fast is one I know will work for me and I love milkshakes so an added bonus.

I have been thinking of the Keto diet as I have seen some great results from friends.

But it would take a bit of research for me to start this and I like things nice and easy!! I’m going to take on the Slim Fast diet for 1 month to see how I go and by this time.

I hopefully will have lost some weight and stick to my new eating plan. Slim Fast Diet- 4 Reason Why I Want To #FeelFabulous. Have you tried the slim fast shakes?

Slim Fast And Exercise:

As well as going on a diet I am starting to use my gym membership and slowly build up a good exercise routine.

This week I have only made it to the gym once so far as typically something always comes up but hopefully by next week I will be into organised.

I also want to start drinking lots more water to help me diet as I was always rushing to the kettle for a nice cup of tea or coffee before when I was thirsty.

I am trying to cut down on hot drinks and sugar in the first week.

Taking my time and doing things slowly. As I think this will be the better way to go without wanting to eat crap again.

Slim Fast chose me as one of the bloggers to participate in their #SlimFastChallenge, and I was ecstatic.
