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

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
