WEIGH IN RESULT AND A SHINY AWARD

Hi everyone , hope everyone has had a great weekend and enjoyed the sun ,its so nice to have this great weather at last , after visiting doctor this morning i went to club to get weighed was not sure how it was going to go as weekend had a few naughties not much and i think the 4 mile walk helped .So i got on scales and i had lost 1 1/2 pounds ,really chuffed and i got my shiny sticker for loosing 1 1/2 stone  ,At last i thought as it has been a bit slow . I have 12 pounds left to loose now to the target i set my self    so its time to get motivated and get this last bit off  and be a bit more stricter with my self  . watch this space .

This is for me for my achievment so far and getting my first goal  as i have never come this far before at slimming world  i enjoy the plan and cooking , i know sometimes i can struggle with it but i think that is sometimes i want something quick when i get in as im tired and cant be bothered mode ,im only human after all .
Here are my goodies i have eaten today  as i did have a treat today food wise 

lunch was orso tofu butternut squash  and some veg mixed in to it 

Rockey road hi fi bar for my break i love these and i find them filling with a coffee 

Dinner yes this was the treat  a cheese scone with lurpack and some cheese  on it  and some left over rice from lunch , i have fancied a cheese scone for ages and they were on offer in m @ s on monday and i needed a treat so i thought  why not  i did enjoy it  .

Well that was my weigh in day on my tuesday morning group so now i have to keep up the 

and loose the 12 pounds  if i can do 2 pounds a week then it will take 6 weeks  thats the summer hols nearly  yes i can do it .
On monday i stocked up on fruit and here it is  to keep me going in the week dont know if it will last long though i have fruit faires in my house .

Hope everyone has a good week and shall blog at some point in the week as im on the late shift so sometimes difficult to write x 

slowly but surely

Hi everyone ,i found this today and i think its so true to me .

i always want somthing to happen quick and not patient really but i am learning with my weight slowly but surely and not to rush as i will get there in the end if i rush and get frustrated its not coming off quick thats when i fail and yo yo diet put it on cause i get frustrated  and then get fed up because i have gain and start a diet again  a cycle i have done for years , and i am now getting into the mindset of eating healthy and lettiing it come of slowly and as long as im happy i ts ok  .

As you all know i have not been to good this week and the medication has been making me really drowsy and i have not been fully on plan this week as i have not felt like eating much rather to being to drowsy to cook ,my friend brought me round a great slimming world chilli rice and salad the other day and i was truly grateful for her doing this as i would not of eaten otherwise as both kids were out , Most of week for lunch i have just had shakes and stuck to slimming world meals in the evening so i hope to get back on track after weekend and feel a bit brighter ,here are some of my healthy meals ive been eating this week .

i put some feta cheese into this with tomatoes ,peppers and cucumber  and some olives i had a small bowl and think the kids finished it off  , i thought this was really refreshing salad 

pasta pie , good for you chips and coleslaw a last min dinner im afraid ,using up ingrediants 

sweet omellete with banana and vanilla yoghurt a healthy sweet fix 

tonights tea meatloaf topped with tomatoes and onion  , new potatoes , beetroot ,toms and cucumber 

FAT FLUSH WATER i manage to do 3 days of it i found the cucumber to overpowering and was making me feel sick ,i even took some of it out  at least i gave it a good go and hope it did somthing , its prob just another fad thing but we do have to give these things ago dont we , i might just do a lemon water next time as that is suppose to be good for you , well i think i will finish here and hope everyone has had a good day and everyone is looking forward to the heatwave we are going to have the weekend i know i am and if feeling well enough i might just hit the seafront for a paddle and a walk 

WEIGH IN DAY AND FEELING THE PAIN , FAT FLUSH
