As you may have seen in my last weigh in update, I finally got my half stone award after four weigh ins. I was absolutely ecstatic as I think over the many years and attempts of trying to lose weight, that is the best I have ever done. I am really loving Slimming World (though I have had my doubts about it before, but that’s a whole other post) and hoping I can continue with it up until I get to my target weight, and afterwards of course as really it is just about making healthier choices. So, to my …
Slimming World – half a stone gone!
If you saw my last SW weigh in update you will know that I didn’t quite manage to get my half stone award even though I’d been hankering after it all week – although happy at 1.5lb loss I was a bit annoyed at myself as I was only half a pound away! So I was determined to get it this week – even though we had our first cake club meeting on Friday night but I saved my syns from the previous day, that day and the day after to be cautious (although I think if I had maintained it would …
Little man N at 11 months old
So this is the last of N’s updates before he turns one year old. That’s right, at the next update I will have written a whole year of updates for my youngest baby. Who will no longer be a baby. (Sad face. Though don’t take that as a hint at any more babies – no thanks!). As I mentioned in his ten month update he was due to be weighed at his ‘routine health check’ which I wrote about here along with a rant about the health visitor. He weighed 24lb 8oz meaning he had only gained 7oz since his last weigh in, …
Recipe – Reese’s peanut butter cupcakes
Last year (and maybe the year before actually) a friend & I decided that we were going to start a cake club – even if it was only the two of us, ha! Our first meeting was last week and the theme was an easy one – cupcakes. I always have to go that extra mile and as I still had some of my Reese’s hamper left from Christmas (I know, I’m not sure how either) I decided to take these. I have no words to describe them – they might just be the finest cupcake I have ever tasted …
Slimming World weigh in – I got a shiny!
In the week prior to this week’s weigh in, I went a little off track on Sunday. We were at my brother-in-law’s for tea and although we had a fairly healthy curry (the majority of which was free food for me) he had cheesecake for dessert and I couldn’t not have any when everyone else did! I did only have a little bit though. I then shared a yogurt ice lolly with N but that wasn’t many syns anyway. I’ve been doing more walking this week and I’m really enjoying it; I’m already starting to feel a bit fitter again, …
