Monday week six

I have had an up and down week so I will have to catch up a bit here.

We have eaten like the nobles that's for sure - good homemade cooking.

I have lost this, and doing a happy dance.

Keeping my morale up, "I am abundant, clever, beautiful".

So now I hope to lose two more pounds for next Monday to get my 1/2 stone lost award eee wish me luck.

It's great to eat such a balanced and reslistic way, and at the same time restore my body back to great form :)

Wednesday gone Thursday ponderings

So I was out of sorts yesterday, and forget to say hi!

I am doing well this week, considering I have stuff happening that would normally have sent me to a takeaway binge.  I created my own version instead for a fraction of the syns.

SW chips, battered sausage, mushy peas, sliced pickled onions and gherkins!

This went down a treat and was completely on plan.  I officially love slimming world.

Made some chicken and vegetable soul today too.

Frittata with free foods packed in to kept me filled longer.

Tonight we had a simple maggi bag rice with veg meal.

I'm feeling more me again.

Tuesday strange day

Today my mum had an operation and I am awaiting her return.  I have made her soup as she was operated on her jaw area.  Been a good slimming world day for me - breakfast frittata, lasted all morning and afternoon and then the notorious Buger in a bowl.  I love this genius recipe so yummy!!! 

I love soup making and my morphy richards soup maker is ace!  Always provides a great soup :)

Rumours and weightloss Monday

Well mini mins web pages are alight with talks of new slimming world plans and meals at Iceland this week.  It seems to be causing controversy, but personally I'm happy with whatever as long as my path is focused and losing pounds of weight off my body each week :)

Evening

This evening gets better and better :) fakeaway slimming world is amazing and feels like I'm not on plan even though I am.

Sharing platter style <3 perfect 

Saturday

Today started with lots of pain in which I used the diclofenic meds.  Then a mini SW brekkie and fruit, and a trip to a different town to get away from the one we live in.

After suggestions to visit Aldi for some SW supplies, we incorporated a trip into the morning. This was all quaint and lovely, yet when home it was a complete downer with more rows between the hubby and I regarding certain people I have deleted from my life.

Snacks were my HEB bars, a mugshot.

Lunch was a hot chicken and stuffing salad OMG!! I could eat this salad every day <3

Salad love <3 <3 <3

Calm has been restored and films are being watched :)

Friday soup of Christmas

Lunch crock Christmas soup and stuffing.

And tonight's portion jazzed up for dinner whoop this is an amazing recipe <3

Thursday appt, food and films to nourish

Today I had to attend a hospital appointment.  Medication, tests and advice later we left feeling a little bit more aware of how to improve things.  Then home as the mr has man flu, so I know you know my pain hehe!

Slimming world was discussed too and the consultant was impressed with this notion so fingers crossed.

Leftover chilli and cheese allowence for lunch.

Christmas soup for tonight's dinner, it's wonderful 3 syns as toppings sausage and stuffing.

We watched some Xmas movies I know it's early, yet it just felt like a day for it.

Wednesday chaos

Today I have had my sick husband at home all day - man flu - serious stuff!!

Been a nurse, watched him eat lots of chocolate and be a zombie.

I have stuck to plan and for that I am truly happy.

Made a great chilli with a jacket potato do onwards to my skinny minny days ahead x x

Blue Tuesday

It's official i "hate"

This has been such a hard year, and I have always tried to do what feels to be the right thing in every situation.

Be kind

Don't lie it places egg on your face

Listen

View all perspectives

Yet why is it that the outcome is more misery and upset for me!!

People who lie, cheat, scheme, are nasty seem to get all the glory!

Today I vented and who gets it in the neck? Me!! I'm not even allowed to calm my mind the way I choose through music!

I'm so sick of seeing the types of people who are ruthless do what they do, when will the good people rise up and see their better day.  When will truth be enough, when will love be chosen as the right way to go in a dilemma?? Instead of fear being chosen and it all turn to shit!!

Seriously Iv had enough of the under dog syndrome let there be peace <3 fight for justice in this world <3

Dinner for fighters

Balti pork and veggy rice a dinner of champions and winners.

Standing up for what's good and flattening thoses that take the mick!!

The revolution of what's good for the world is nigh <3

Happy Ceri soon to be healthy Ceri

So after the disaster that was a day in week four by going straight back on plan the very next day, I can confirm damage control worked. I got a sts and I am happy to take it.

Today we had a taster day and I tried vegetarian chilli and it was lush. It was made by using quorn but I never would have know the difference.

Mega SW lunch Saturday blessings

Totally stuffed I grilled chicken, steamed veg, added chicken oxo and Italian seasoning to cous cous.

Apple and clementine and my body is super fueled x 

Ranty ramble eat and be merry

So I have come to the conclusion, that yes, a hearty breakfast serves me well.

It is amazing how much food influences the life we each try to lead. My breakfast has filled me up and tasted amazing.

Yes I eat meat and have a lot of vegan/vegetarian associates who judge and frown upon people, yet I believe we should let each be to their own preferences. Concentrate on our own diets and leave people be... It is their right as well as yours etc!

I believe we each go back into the circle of life, some how! and that saying thank you for the animals sacrifice to sustain our bodies is the respectful thing to do - as eventually we each pay our debt!

So today's menu is

Saturday

Two Sausage 1 syn heck are super!
Two bacon 
Two eggs
Onion
Mushroom 

Clementine

Chicken steamed veg
Apple clementine

Review of the lunch crock - Crockpot

I purchased a lunch crock Crockpot this week from Argos.  It's very small the perfect addition to my slow cooker set, although it's only designed to warm up lunches.

It's very handy with soup only taking up to three hours, to be ready for the lunch time hustle and bustle.  Today I placed French onion soup into the inner compartment and let it warm for three hours.  Once ready I disconnected the power lead and carried the whole vessel by the plastic handle and a spoon to where I would be eating. Popped off the lid and inner lid, I was ready to slurp.

It's a great little helper and I look forward to using it more for leftovers and soups - for £20 this handy device will aid my slimming world journey for sure :)

Bad Thursday hello great Friday

So yesterday I had a Chinese etc it was a write it off day and is normal those days will happen.

Today I'm completely different had an amazing slimming world breakfast trying out the new heck chicken italia sausages 

They are superb!  Burgers of theirs to try tomorrow x

Sunday winter style

So today we had an Sunday morning "Date" which includes a cooked slimming world breakfast without potato today.  Mr B is working so hard we snatch dates at all times watch funnies, chat or go out depending on the hour.

Lunch I decided I really fancied a pizza snack alternative and created a wrap pizza, which was delicious only using friendly slimming world items;

Heb wrap

20g cheese hea

Peppers

Onion

Sweetcorn

Sauce was tom purée, sweetener, herbs

It was filling and just like a thin and crispy treat.

Tonight a stew was requested;

Which is bubbling away in the slow cooker - Beef chipotle and honey stew with added veg, pearl barley, quinoa, plus pulses. Filling and rich this hearty dish is great for winter nights.

Only five syns used for days menu - slimfest winter wonder land ;)

Lambtastic

One of the best lamb roast dinners Iv had in a long time.  Succulent and rich, this lamb shank is from Icelands!! Cooked via the wait for it.... Microwave in 12 mins.

The steamed veg was perfect by Birdseye, cooked in the microwave in 6 mins not mushy!!

The only real effort in my part was to create slimming worlds oxo roasties.

Quick and lush I'm amazed at how wonderful that meal actually was.....

Lunch time booster

Lunch is two mini crust less quiches , two Tesco low fat sausages.  Fruit and rye bread and jam - no snacking just good foods <3 stuffed !

Weekend non blowout the girl means business

Spelt bran flakes by sharpham park, milk and apple for brekkie.

Feeling good about my choices and did not go near hubby's fresh baked chocolate cake last night.  

I'm feeling full and content with this way of eating :)
