Food SW

SW keeps me full everything is grilled and done in a healthy manner - I am eating lots of fruit and veg on the side - loving rye and feeling improvements maybe small but still it's a great result so far.

Orders placed with approved foods, Icelands and Tesco let the SW creative menus commence - yayyyy


Wednesday how quickly you arrived

Today I feel like I'm outside looking in!! I am starting to see things more clearly and I feel like I'm good to let go of people and situations that no longer serve me YOLO!!

This is me time from now and up till after Xmas - screw what others want and expect of me I AM TIRED.

What I'm pleased about;

Slimming worlds positive influence 
A roof over my head
Supportive husband
My cat
Good food
Water
Onesies
My car

I am now attracting into my life every good and positive right now.

Today is a great day.

I am going to be my best possible self, I'm doing the work and walking my talk - it's bound to work out at some point :)

Fat day

I'm having one if those days!! Although I have had a successful day on the plan I feel fat, huge, like I have swallowed a elephant whole!! It's that feeling of waking up like a tiny delicate fairy and then transitioning to the marshmallow man :-0

Hormone, endocrine system nightmare!! Wild banchee woman emotions and there is not a damn thing that can be done other then ride out the day just going with it!!!

I pat myself on the back for not eating like a woman possessed, even if I may feel as big as a house, big booty all about the base right now.

Tomorrow is a new day and god willing I will be another couple of pounds lighter :)

Mexican chicken and rice on the SW plan


I made this in the slow cooker Mexican chicken and rice!! Taste explosion and a new favourite.  This is a great way to eat and I do pleased with my options.

Soup for October

Oxtail soup and apple

Soup star

I have just cooked a batch of soup, it is good for six portions and is oxtail soup.

I purchased 2.2kg of soup mixes 99p a big tub, and each batch of six costs just 2p so a bowl doesn't even cost half a penny!! In this day and age frugal shopping, cooking will keep you going.

It should make 44 batches of six portions and I bought seven different flavours!! Hope my household fancies soup hehe.

Bulk shopping is great, and reduced items can be cooked and used thereafter so never look a gift horse in the mouth as they say to some degree :)

Rye love

I now have new appreciation for Rye and Spelt. I always thought it was gluten that made me bloat and feel sleepy sluggish so I began to dig a little deeper.  The medieval grains are different and approved by me.  I am breaking up with wheat, bitter sweet relationship I love it yet it ruins me .... It's that simple!!  I have tried eliminating it and reintroducing it yet again and again it's an epic fail. So farewell wheat you are adored by many and I know you will not miss me, I am off to experiment with your older cousins hehe.

The rye loathes are odd, rectangles and very doughy - yet full of flavour and nutrients.  My energy is starting to pick up and I believe rye has played a big part in that so far.

Why did I think to try rye, well I googled why are the people in Germany so healthy and I was hit with rye after rye answer.  I then looked into wheat allergies and decided let's try other grains!!

I am so glad I did, I just feel normal, wheat IMHO has been to messed around with to be taken seriously as a real food these days.

Spelt cereal has been well received by my body along with the rye bread.  Now it's my turn to try some baking in the weeks to come do wish me luck hehe.  

I gave up on trying to be vegan/vegetarian as I did not fare well on it - my face went ice cold numb and blue.  I now try more veggy dishes and moderate my meat rations.  I believe we do need meats and that respect of life for the sacrifice given must be acknowledged and gratitude shown. One day my remains will go back into the system for a place in the circle of life and that is how I now move forward ✌️💛😁
