I always find that when I have been on holiday it takes me a while to get back into Slimming World. I also really struggled to start Slimming World. I didn’t see results until after six months however, I didn’t put any weight back on – after nine weddings last year, a few incredible holidays I am surprised that didn’t happen but if I hadn’t been following the slimming world plan then I would have piled the weight back on.
With holiday season well underway, I wanted to share my tips on getting back on track
SP Days
I actually have to go cold turkey – having a few SP days in the week really gets me focused and back on track. It means I have a week the week after to really look forward to eating pasta and jacket potatoes.
Planning
You may have seen on my Instagram account that I love planning. My organiser by Amelia Lane which I bought from Not On The High Street really helps me in organising my life. It has your monthly planner in there, to-do list etc but the best part is, at the end of each day it has a planner for your exercise and food diary.
Even if I just write my food and my syns in there at the end of each week it is really useful because I can see where I have had good week or a bad day. This helps to keep me focused too because (and yes I am a massive geek) but I get really excited about adding my syns in at the end of the day because I am proud I have stuck to plan.
Food prepping
If you are like me and love cooking – this should be your favourite part of Slimming World because the food is so fantastic.
I love batch cooking knowing that when I have a busy week I can drag a really fulfilling meal out of the freezer and its ready in a couple of minutes.
Again, I am just really organised so if you can’t batch cook if you are living at home with parents or you hate cooking – slimming world meals are a great option for busy weeks.

Salads are great too as you can shove them in a bowl at the beginning of the week and they will be all ready to shove in a food container with some meat or Quorn. I love the Hellmann's Fat Free Vinaigrette as it adds some flavour to my salads and best of all, it’s syn free.
Exercise
Yes, this is also really hard to get back into but before I go to bed in the morning I lay out my gym closes on the chair beside me all ready and pack my bag the night before to ensure I am ready and don’t lie there dreading the rush about.
If you don’t go to the gym some HITT training from home on a gym mat will do the trick. Start by doing fifteen minutes every morning finding videos on Youtube. I’d recommend any of the Lean in 15 ones as they are really good.
Shopping
This is my favourite tip. Do not go shopping if you are hungry. Make yourself a bowl of soup and then go shopping because if you are anything like me you will buy the entire shop if you go in there hungry!
Have a shopping list already written out – this will really help. Another option is to do all your food shopping online because that will make sure you avoid temptation when looking at all the lovely goodies they conveniently place at the till.
