Slimming World weigh in #58 – the one with the fat jeans …

by StaceyUpdated on March 30, 2016March 31, 2016

So, you would have thought that after last week’s weigh in and being back on the losing track again, it would have given me that much needed kick up the rear, right? Wrong! As per usual, I started the week with good intentions then it slowly dwindled… I have been snacking on rubbish – crisps, sweets, the kids chocolate (I didn’t have any of my own though so that one doesn’t count, right?…). Most of my meals were on plan, it’s just the parts in between I seem to be struggling with at the minute. I did have a push though when …

Slimming World weigh in #57 – the one where I’m back?…

by StaceyUpdated on March 30, 2016March 27, 2016

…Or I’m not so sure. After my last weigh in I was really gutted that I’d gained yet another pound, and I was slowly slipping back under and losing that 3st loss – I was almost back into the 2st area and it was that which really gave me the kick up the butt that I needed. We did have a meal out at Pizza Hut planned for Jacob’s birthday but I planned to stay on it as much as possible for the rest of the week, which I just about managed. I think once you have slipped off plan for a few …

My Happiness Non-negotiables list

by StaceyUpdated on March 21, 2016March 22, 2016

I was recently tagged by Maria over at Suburban Mum to complete my happiness non-negotiable list. The happiness non-negotiable is a list of things that we must make time for in our day, no matter what, in order to be happy. I am a list maker, and I even have lists for lists (!), but when it comes to making people happy, everybody else often comes first and I am way down that list! I have never really thought about the things I must do day to day, I just automatically do them so this list has taken some thought. With suffering with depression too, it …

Slimming World weigh in #55 and #56 – the ones where I’m gaining…

After my last weigh in prior to Noah’s birthday, I had promised myself that after a gain, I would be back on plan. As usual, the week started off well but slowly went down hill when it got to the weekend and we went out for N’s birthday meal, so then we had cake, and then we went out for the day on his actual birthday, then we had a picnic style dinner, and then I just kind of continued with the rubbish food as I was feeling really low too and I tend to be an emotional eater… Until it got …
