Slimming World weigh in – the one where it’s getting closer…

by StaceyUpdated on September 7, 2016September 8, 2016

I was bit gutted after last week’s weigh in because I am so close to target now and I don’t want to be heading back the other way! I really tried to pull it back this week, and one day at the weekend I made sure I had no other syns so I could try these whirls I made for the bake off – they were delicious 😉 Plenty of speed food was eaten – having fruit every day for breakfast really helps with that actually, and also salads for lunch. It also leaves my healthy extras for snacks. As it’s getting towards …

After reading what each of the challenges would be for biscuit week of The Great British Bake Off, I was still umm-ing and ahh-ing about which one I would do. I ruled out the showstopper immediately though, I couldn’t be bothered with the fuss of a biscuit story construction! After last week’s bake though, I’m surprised I was still considering doing another technical. After watching the show, I did decide on the technical again – I must be mad! I’ve never made Viennese whirls before so this one was yet another new challenge for me. Once again I used Mary’s Berry’s recipe, but …

Our jewellery loves

by Stacey September 4, 2016September 4, 2016

As a teen I used to wear a watch all of the time, I felt lost without one. And then for some reason I just stopped, and it’s only recently I have started wearing one again. Whereas The Husband, he always wears a watch so he owns more than me! I do own a lot of jewellery, though I am more of a kitsch jewellery kind of person. Although sometimes, it’s nice to wear something more luxury and delicate, for special occasions for example. I’m sure everybody has a piece of jewellery that is their favourite. The Husband bought me a …

Our favourite five – August | Bike rides, biscuits & Beanies

by StaceyUpdated on November 11, 2018September 3, 2016

August seemed to fly by. I think it’s because The Husband had a week off toward the end of the month, and so we had a day out and did some last minute school shopping for Jacob. I kind of wanted it to pass by slowly as when September arrived, it meant only another 4 days until starting school! It’s going to be really odd during the week when he’s not here. It will be quiet(er) and I will only have one small person pestering me during the day. But it also means I might be able to get a …

Slimming World weigh in – the one where I’m losing the number…

by Stacey August 31, 2016August 31, 2016

I’ve decided that from this weigh in onward, I am dropping the number of the weigh in. As the weeks go on and that number goes up, it is getting a little disheartening as it is such a high number now and I am not yet at target. I don’t mind taking the scenic route, as I always have done. But, I think it might make me feel a bit better in general. At last week’s weigh in I seemed to be continuing my trend of only losing half a pound, and that’s okay. The closer to target, the harder it …
