Weigh in day small success

Hi everyone well yesit was the dreaded weigh in day today so i got up stripped of and on the scales and a 1 1/2 pound loss Im happy with this really as i did muck about this week with plan and it is difficult with my illness to plan the meals at moment because it all depends on the day how i feel and what i can manage  ,. i have to plan more with my meals and have a day when i feel good maybe do some cooking , To day i had brunch  as was up late

all free food and toast was my b box sauce i syned kept me going till late afternoon  went to costa had a soya lattee out of my milk allowence and a banana  ,did not give in to the cake  yay got home though and was really hungry so started on tea even though my energy had worn right down  could not ask daughter tohelp as she has a bug ,so a very tearful person sat on a stool and cracked on with tea  , for some reason when battery has ran low it affects all my body and emotions i have to get use to this pacing and listen to my body , thi was tea a chicken and spinich curry with rice .

Had a hundred percent on slimming world today hope it continues all week and i can loose a bit more for next week  even if i get to ten pounds by xmas i will be happy . i have a bonfire night on thurs so looking forward to that will have to be careful on the nibbles going to rest tomorrow and thursday  day so i can enjoy it  ,i have to pace pace pace and plan plan plan  , hope you all have a good week and will blog soon x

This is not easy this time around ,i will plod on

Hi everyone , i have not been on here for a couple of days as not felt good to write , i have been to the hospital 2 days running again and it does affect me physicaly and mental fatige as well  i had to see specialist again and have mri scan , she does think i have ME and Fibromyaliga  but we have to wait for scans till she can say definate , but in mean time i have to pace myself . Well friday i was exhausted body did not want to know so we ended up having 

Not so slimming world is it  but i did enjoy it ,sometimes its easier to get a takeaway when i have my very bad days  and older daughter is not in to supervise with cooking , im learning though to rest and sit and prepare  . Unfortunatly it did mot stop there  i had the munchies , later on i had this 

and this 

Oh my word what was i thinking and to be honest with you my stomoch felt really bloated and yuk for ages So today i thought thats it girl back on plan , it may be slower coming off because im ill and cant exercise so im not burning the calories  i have to eat healthy and becareful  here is what i ate today .

BRUNCH  soya milk and muller yoghurt shake with a banana  dinner baked chicken ,spicy rice and salad , i am pleased with today and have planned my menu for tomorrow  . I have just got to think at the moment at least im trying and if i have a blip one day then im not to get stressed over it , i have a long road ahead of me to recovery or getting half way to being  better than what i am and sustaining it  if i can loose the 14 pounds i put on since i stopped sw then i be happy anything after that is a bonus . I may not blog every night as my illness affects me  in mental fatigue and physically as well and other stuff too but im back here and willing to give it a go , everyone have a good rest of weekend will try and blog tommorow if i can  xx

A successful Green slimming world day DAY ONE

The start of my slimming world plan and we are off to a good start , before i get myself organised with what im doing today i get started with breakfast , porridge pancakes made in the sandwich toaster served with fruit and a vanilla yoghurt and off course a coffee .

Really did enjoy these this morning as i have not made them for a long time now and they really filled me up , daughter was going to town lunch time so decided to go with her and have a coffee and chat then go and pay a bill , whilst on my travels needed a rest and came across a knew cafe that had opened ,did not look exspensive either . I ordered a jacket potato with baked beans no butter and salad , Came out was this almighty jacket potato and beans i could only eat half  of it the coffee was nice too i shall be going there again . Popped into iceland as i needed to get a few things for the kids as its holidays fridge stuff mainly and some crisp ,it was hard standing there today with the cakes and chocolate but thought no im not buying them for kids or i will give in in to them  i am weak willed  , OH i forgot here is my jacket potato lol

I have not felt hungry at all today and just eaten my meals it just goes to show i8f you eat the proper healthy foods how they do keep you filled up than when your eating snacky or fatty foods that only keep you going a couple of hours . 
Tea tonight i made qourn bolognaise and a mixed salad and i have plenty left for another meal as no one likes qourn in my house , i might turn it into a chilli for tomorrow lunch .

Well everyone that was my green day today  i have not had my syns yet i might have a chocolate options in a while if i can keep this up i will be a happy person  im glad to be back on my journey gives me somthing to focus on  x

MY HEALTHY EATING WEEK / WEIGH IN

its friday and the weekend is here although it will be a quite one for me just pottering about and resting as i have consultant next week and hope to get a final diognoisis , i have decided to stop going to slimming world at the moment until things are sorted out and i am going on the slimmingworld facebook groups i have been a member off for a while and i am weighing at home every tuesday morning .

Yes on tuesday i weighed  in the morning and the result i stayed the same i am quite happy with that at the moment as i have been eating healthy and had two take a ways in the week , i am also not doing any exercise as i cant and i use to walk everywhere so this result for now makes me feel  alright ,
So here is my week of healthy eating and 2 takeaway

Ginger scan bran cake fruit and fromaige frais a great breakfast and easy to make not much effort ,

I really fancied this meal tonight and it was quick to make and not many syns but not really counting them at moment  good old faggots ,mash and mushy peas , kids were out so a treat as they would not of eaten this at all ,i did really enjoy it .

This is the start of the chicken curry i was making decided to make a madras curry have not had one for along time really enjoyed making it  as well .

quite spicy but really nice  very filling as well.

Prawns in fromaige frais and some pepper with avacado trying to put some healthy oils into my body

Super speed soup in the slow cooker for my lunches added a touch of cilli in it this time to give it a kick .

Pasta and spinich pie really easy to make  just pasta n sauce cooked in water add 6 eggs and tub of cheese and onion cottage chesse , tomatoes and spinich and add some low fat cheese cook till set, if using cheese add to your healthy a box rest is free

Lunch a sub roll and space raiders , beetroot , tomatoes

chicken fajatia and cous cous really tasty not good presentation though  well thats my week of food and also some special chowmein from chinease could not eat all of it though ended in bin i use to eat loads on a takeaway  a big plateful infact only can eat a small amount now and im full  it just shows you .
I am not entirly sure if my blog should be about slimming world anymore and more about my healthy eating and  day  as im at a health blip at the moment till it gets all sorted , i am still cooking sw way  but am not bothering with syns at moment for snacks if i want one  . Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and a healthy one too i am going to hang on to that 22 pound loss and if i do loose this week its a bonus to me at the moment .

should i stay or should i go

Hi everyone , i have  not blogged for a long time as i have not been well and have been off sick from work and still waiting to see consultants to get final diognoisis . Even though i have not been following slimming world fully as i have  had other things to deal with i have been eating healthy as i can and eating small amounts as i have not felt like much to eat or have had no energy to cook from scratch , So this brings me to should i keep going to sw and will it do me good at moment or shall i ask consultant to go to target till  i have my illness sorted out , im not sure what to do , i weighed at home this week and i maintained so pleased with that so still my 22 pounds lost , i did manage to go out today and get some fruit so i can have scan bran cake and fruit but i am now paying for it as i have no energy whatsoever feels like i have not slept , i have some pics of my daughters birthday meal  we had at wild wood and really enjoyed it a nice evening .

the cake yes i must admit i did have one or two slices 

we went to costa first as it was a bit early for are meal so i enjoyed a soya lattee and kids pink lemonade .

i had a chicken and chilli pasta really nice and filling as well .

this is my daughters pizza and other daughters chicken and chips for afters we all had sticky toffee pudding . I dont really know how i stayed the same after all that food , well it was only one night i suppose and i have been good rest of week . these have been some of the food i have eaten in the week .

Ginger scan bran cake had half one day and other the next day as it does fill me up ate this for lunch with a banana .

pasta pie with spinich in it and tomatoes had some with baked beans .

Been having a few of these soya milk shakes made with soya milk , strawberries and some muller yoghurt and some fibre put in to fill me up as not always wanted lunch . 
i hope some of you can give me advice on what to do about sw wether i should keep at it or maintain for a bit any advice would be great , hope to get back to my blogging as i do enjoy it and it should help me keep my mind of things too xxxx
