Slimming Workd 22nd May

Hello everyone,

This week I have been mostly on plan with a couple of days going over my syns by 5 but other days not having any so it appears I cannot save syns. I lost 1lb this week. The negative is that it is less than I wanted but positive is the number is still going down.

I have 4lb to go until I am back to my lowest and will be working towards my next certificate and sticker.

My plan is to get this within two weeks realistically but I would love it if I could get it in one!

How did you guys do let me know in the comments below.

Slimming world Monday 15th May

Hello everyone,

Last night I was reminded why staying to group is so important and how much of a difference it makes.

Paul and I were really on plan this week and I lost 4lb and Paul lost 6lb.

I am so pleased as I have not had that sort of loss for months and 4lb is a big number for me as I'm a 1-2lb kind of girl.

We really used our speed foods to boost so had two speed veg with every meal and speed fruit to follow.

I had my hifi bars and a muller light in the evenings for my pudding fix.

On Friday we bought mini twisters as a treat.

How did you do this week?

Slimming world 8th May

Hello everyone,

Well I want to start off by saying this week I was not on plan at all. I also had a very naughty weekend at my parents house. I ate ice-cream, cake, fish and chips and lots of chocolate.

We have a lot of stress in our life at the moment and a lot going on. Food has always been a thing I use to celebrate and to comfort myself. I have always decided that I will live my life not deprive myself.

So I got on the scale and I was not sure what it was going to say. I thought I would have put on 4lb+ soooo what was the damage? I put on 2lb.  So we have drawn a line under it. We have had everything we wanted this weekend and now we are craving nothing.

So the only way is forward and onwards.

Let's see how much I loose next Monday.

Thanks guys, please let me know how you did this week?

Weight loss this week and Slimming World spaghetti bolognaise

Hey guys!!

So this week was a hard week with a few things going on like my dog Vinnie having a fit and some struggles with my ME. 

Anyway I put on 1lb this week but i'm not worried about that, I got some bad foods out of my system and I am hitting it hard this week. 

I wanted to share with you one of my favorite recipes from Slimming World which is the "Best Ever Spaghetti Bolognaise". This is the only version I like at all, Paul struggled to get me to make it the first time and now its a firm favorite.

Ingredients

• Low calorie cooking spray
• 2 onions roughly chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 500g lean beef mince (5% fat or less)
• 2 celery sticks, roughly chopped
• 2 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
• 2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 beef stock cube
• Dried spaghetti

Method

1. Spray a large frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and place over a medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots, celery and garlic, season well and stir-fry for 7 minutes.
2. Add the beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook for three minutes until browned. Drain off any excess fat then add the chopped tomatoes and oregano, crumble in the stock cube and bring to the boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes
3. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions. Drain.
4. Divide the spaghetti and bolognese sauce between four bowls or plates and serve with a crispy salad.

Give it a go, you won't regret it!!!
