After last week’s shock loss of 4.5lb I wasn’t really holding out much hope of another great loss this week as I knew there would be a few things possibly stopping me. On Thursday it was my cousin’s eldest’s boys birthday so we had a pub tea (steak & chips, and loads of onion rings) and then birthday cake (though I shared mine with N). Friday was okay, then Saturday we were at my Mum’s and we had pulled pork – I was a greedy pig and scoffed three white rolls with it so just that would have taken me …

Egg-celent Easter fun (in lots of photos!)
I posted last week about our Easter plans and what the boys had to find in their Easter basket – we managed to fit everything in and had a really fun Easter and ended up with lots of goodies (I got a pack of Reese’s Easter bunnies which was just fine for me!).
Slimming World weigh in #11 – the one with another certificate!
After last week’s weigh in and an expected gain from J’s birthday festivities, I decided to knuckle down, go back to basics, and get right back on plan – all of which I (nearly) managed to do. As I gained 2lb last week I decided I wanted to lose that plus an extra pound so I made sure I ate lots of speed food. I had nothing to knock me off track – well, apart from chocolate fudge brownies and ice cream at the weekend, but that was the only ‘naughty’ I had all week that was out of my syns. But …
Recipe – Peanut butter & white chocolate blondies
This is a recipe I did for our last bake club meeting at the beginning of the month. The theme was tray bakes and I thought, well, I’ve made brownies plenty of times but never blondies, and I had some Reese’s peanut butter left from my cupcakes from last month’s bake club… So these were born! As the peanut butter is smooth there wouldn’t have been any crunch to them so I added banana chips as an alternative (peanut butter and banana is one of my favourite combinations!). You could always use crunchy peanut butter instead and leave the banana chips …
Slimming World weigh in #10 – the one with a gain
After last weeks surprise 3lb loss I wasn’t at all confident of another loss this week for one reason only – it was J’s 3rd birthday and we had a two day celebration which meant lots of high calorie non-SW friendly food, and cake! I did try and counteract it every other day though with just eating as normal and lower syns but I decided I wasn’t going to sweat it if I did have a maintain or gain, as life happens and we have to remember that. Unlike the other weeks where I thought I’d gained and was nervous …
