Once again I forgot to post my last weigh in update, and that was the one I really wanted to post! After my last update I was still back on it, writing everything down, even if I went over my syns. And I think most of us do regularly at some point, but I know I can usually pull it back if I’m in the right place. I was really determined to get that 3 stone so I was meal planning too and eating lots of speed food, and it seemed to work. I wasn’t in group last week though as I was …
Slimming World
Cheese & bacon stuffed mushrooms | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)
Since I started my Slimming World journey, I have eaten a much larger variety of lunches. Previously it used to be just a sandwich as it was quick & easy and took less than a minute to throw together, but it did get a little boring every day and I soon realised how much bread and carbs I really did eat, which wasn’t so good with PCOS either. Recently I’ve found large flat mushrooms to be a really great alternative to bread, even being used as a pulled pork ‘burger’! These stuffed mushrooms are one of my favourite lunches now …
Slimming World weigh in #42 – the one where I’m almost there…
Once again I never managed to write an update last week, though in the last one I did write, I said I felt like I was back in the game. Well. Until last week that was. When I had a monumental gain of 2lb! I know it’s not a lot really, but I was quite annoyed with myself that I was doing so well again and I sabotaged myself that week by eating maybe a few more naughty things than I should have. I went away from group that night with my line drawn, my positive head screwed on, and I was …
Slimming World weigh in #40 – the one where I’m back in the game…
Once again, it’s been a few weeks since I posted my last update. Since then, I’ve been sticking to writing everything down – even if I know it’s over my syns, as I’ve wanted to be completely accountable to myself. I have had a few occasions when I have been quite naughty with snacking but apart from that I have been pretty much on plan. This might have been helped by the fact that I sat down with my magazines and recipes I have saved, and wrote down a whole month of evening meals in order to make meal planning …
Recipe – Bejewelled summer fruit terrine (#SlimmingWorld friendly)
I know summer is now over and winter is well & truly on its way, but this recipe could be adjusted to include winter fruits (plus I’ve had this post sat in my drafts for months so I thought I better share it, okay…). Who can resist jelly, whatever the weather? The pomegranate seeds in this one look just like little jewels. My boys even loved it so you could pretend that you’re making it for the children too. Though it’s obviously a more summery dish, you can still enjoy it whenever you want, as it’s only 3 syns for the whole thing …
