Slimming World weigh in #61 – the one where I’m at my lowest again…

by StaceyUpdated on April 20, 2016April 21, 2016

So I was a bit gutted with my weigh in last week after gaining yet again, and even though I knew I had a big meal out this week I was really determined not to have yet another gain. Quite frankly I am getting really annoyed at myself for yo-yo’ing up & down with the same few pounds which I have been doing since Christmas and now we are almost a third of the way through the year! I *only* have just over half a stone to go until the target I have set but it feels like there is no …

The Anchor Beefeater, Scunthorpe | Review

by StaceyUpdated on April 18, 2016April 18, 2016

As a family – and me being the main cook in the house and just not wanting to cook sometimes – we tend to eat out at least once a month and it’s nice to have somewhere different to go. The Anchor Beefeater in Scunthorpe has recently had a complete refurbishment and we were invited along for a meal at the weekend to see what we thought. I’ve never been before so I wasn’t really sure what to expect compared with how it was previously, but I had a great first impression. We arrived just before 5pm and it was …

Slimming World weigh in #60 – the one where I’m grumpy…

by StaceyUpdated on May 16, 2016April 14, 2016

After last week’s weigh in and feeling like I was back in the zone, I was raring to go to get that 2lb loss to get into that next stone bracket. I was on it all week, though we did go out for a carvery on Sunday but I filled my plate with veg; a few syns were possibly used on gravy, and stuffing, and a Yorkshire pudding… oh. Oops! I kept my syns down after that though to try and balance it out. I’ve been eating a lot more speed food again too though I’m not properly back on it with meal planning …

Lifestyle Party

A dinosaur party | Birthdays

by StaceyUpdated on April 15, 2016April 11, 2016

Last month it was the boys’ 2nd and 4th birthdays and so I held a joint dinosaur party for them. As soon as I decided on the theme I was straight to Pinterest for ideas and I found some brilliant ones – I could have done so much more but I just didn’t have the time! Nonetheless, I was pretty pleased with how it all came together, especially after pretty much pushing blogging aside for the week prior, to concentrate on party preparation. This is how it all came together…

Slimming World weigh in #59 – the one where I’m back on it…

by StaceyUpdated on April 7, 2016April 8, 2016

After last week’s weigh in and yet another maintain but managing that photo of the “fat jeans”, I was feeling a bit more determined and in the zone. I did a little more meal planning last week and I was on it for most of the week; we did have a meal out one evening and I did go for a healthier option, but I couldn’t resist cake… Oops. I ate a lot of speed fruit & veg though, started a food diary again, and stayed mostly within my syns so I think that really helped. I must have been back in …
