This weeks shopping

All set and ready to go, hoping for a great loss next week.
Meals I'm planning this week - Fake away Kebab, Stew, Diet Coke Chicken, Diet Fanta Chicken, Rissoto and Bolognese.

Diet Coke Chicken

I was not convinced that I would enjoy this, but I did. It was lush! I actually felt like it was something that I shouldn't be eating. So good!

500g Diced chicken or Quorn

Can of Diet Coke,

Passata,

2 Onions - chopped or sliced,

Oxo cube,

Chinese 5 Spice

Fry Light

 

Spray a pan with fry light and add the chicken and onions, when almost cooked sprinkle on an Oxo.

Add 6 tbsp of passata, the can of Diet Coke and 1 tsp of Chinese 5 Spice and stir well.

Bring to the boil and then simmer until the sauce has thickened (about 15 - 20 minutes).
I also added some mixed veg to bulk it out.

Slimmer of the Week

Yaaaaaay! Today I lost 3lbs which got me my 4 stone award back and I got Slimmer of the Week for the first time. Soooooo happy. Feeling motivated I left group and went straight to the shop to get the ingrediants to do another batch of cooking to help me keep on track this week. Hope I can do another 3 lbs :-)

Sh'Bam

So I have just got back from my first Sh'Bam class and I really enjoyed it. I feel as though I was absolutely rubbish at it hahaha but I enjoyed it and I worked up a sweat so that's all that matters. I think Sh'Bam will now definitely become a regular feature in my exercise regime.


Sh’Bam, is a 45-minute dance-based workout involving simple dance moves set to a soundtrack of Latin and hip-hop hits.
It promises to burn up 500 calories a session.

All stocked up and ready to go!

I got some great bargains to help cook a load of different meals for the freezer so I stay on plan. Fingers crossed for a good weight loss on Thursday.

Hi Guys!

I lost my way yet again but I think I may finally be back on track, I know you've heard it all before but please bear with me. I started Slimming World in May 2011 and I got my 4 stone award in October 2012, but I lost it in December after my 30th birthday weekend away, Christmas and the New Year. Anyway I got my brand new Slimming World book in January and after looking through my old one I was shocked to realise the amount of money I had wasted over the last 10 months "playing" at losing weight at Slimming World. 9 times out of 10 I wouldn't stay to Image Therapy (BIG mistake) I'd just get weighed and go (the worst thing to do) so never really took much notice of the weight going back on 1/2 lb here, 1 lb there it didn't seem a big deal until in January my first weigh in of the year was a 2lb gain and I realised I was at the same weight I was in March 2012. I could've cried all that money I had wasted, what on earth had I been playing at? Needless to say I stayed to Image Therapy that day and told my consultant that would be my only gain in my new book and so far I have kept to my word with 7lbs lost since January.
Things to help me lose the lbs -

•  batch cooking - making sure that there is always something ready to eat when I need it so I don't start to nibble things I shouldn't. Getting too hungry can set me off on a binge cycle so I try to always have something on hand that can be warmed up in a couple of minutes.
• variety - having different meals so I don't get bored. This week I've had Kebab, Curry, Stew and Bolognese on hand.
• exercise - I started back at Aerobics yesterday and went to Aqua Fit last night. I've even talked a couple of friends into joining too so hopefully that should keep me motivated and make me less likely to cancel.
