weekly weigh in

After my gain at weigh in last week I was really annoyed with myself. It’s always after I have started heading down that slippery slope though, and never during; when I could grab myself and be able to stop it. Nontheless, I started the new week feeling (kind of) positive. I was still feeling a bit low, but I decided that I would try to be more on plan. And I was, mostly. Though, I may have gone over my syns ever so slightly a few days. And we went to a Halloween party on Saturday where I had a couple of …

Updated on

This weigh in is actually a whole week late, and is going live only a few hours before I get weighed again! Half term has set me right back, but better late than never, hey?! After my last weigh in I was a bit gutted after having a maintain as I’d been on plan after my gain the week before, and I thought I might have managed to pull something back. I went away from group with best intentions to be on plan again but it didn’t really go so well, and went downhill pretty much straight away. I was feeling quite …

I’m not sure how many of my readers are on Goodreads but if you are, then you can friend me here. Earlier this year I set my reading challenge at 104 books. This is double last year and averages out at two books a week. I don’t think I’m going to manage to hit it though as I’ve had quite a few reading slumps this year. I’m currently on book number 49 though, so I think I will surpass what I read last year. I might lower it a bit actually, just so I can complete it 😉 A recent book …

Slow cooker 5 bean chilli | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)

Updated on

I love my slow cooker, and especially in autumn and winter, it comes out a lot. One of my favourite one-pot meals to cook in there is a chilli. It’s usually a beef chilli, but I decided to make a veggie one this time using the beans I received in my September Degustabox. I added a variety of tinned beans to make a 5 bean chilli – it’s syn free on Slimming World too, and makes a great EESP meal 🙂 This one is fairly hot, but you could use mild chilli powder instead, or halve the amount of hot …
