1 down, 7 to go!!!

Hello,

Apologies once again for leaving it so long between blogs but I'm afraid this may be the norm for me as I just don't seem to have the time to blog every night. By the time I've got the boys sorted and in bed I just want to slob in front of the tv and do nothing. Sorry.

Anyway, onto the events of the past few days. Well, I had weigh in lastnight and I managed to lose 5lbs!!! I'm amazed but super pleased. I honestly thought i'd stayed the same or might even have had a gain due to my syns being at their max but I must've been doing good on other things. I know that i've been drinking more water this week, and also trying to eat more superfree. Not to mention mixing the days up a bit. I've actually had 2 red days in the past week which has helped keep the bloated feeling away.

Here's some of the meals i've been enjoying over the last few days that helped me get that 5lbs off.

Yummy breakfast on an EE day. 1 syn for the venison sausages. Potato scones were made with smash.

This is a soup I just whipped up with fridge items. Mushrooms, brocolli, onion and garlic. Delish and free!

Salmon fillet, roasties made with fry light and lotsa green beans. The salmon is sprinkled with Nando's peri peri salt. Free meal on EE

Simple free breakfast on EE. Bacon, scrambled eggs and mushrooms.

I had this for lunch the night after I'd had the salmon with potatoes as I'd cooked 2 salmon fillets so had one left over. Yummy salad with plenty of superfree. Dressing is balsamic glaze....1/2 syn for a drizzle

This isn't a sw recipe as such as you're meant to coat the chicken in flour but I don't do that and it's just as nice. It's chicken with a lemon, leek and garlic sauce. Served with boiled rice. Free on EE.

I had this yesterday for lunch when I was at the soft play with Roo. Baked potato with beans and cheese, served with salad.

I had this for a quick dinner lastnight after weigh in as I was bloody starving. It hit the spot.

This was breakfast this morning. 3 ryvita crispbreads (1/2 B), 30g choc philli (4.5 syns), banana (Free)

Lunch today. Lots of superfree salad with pickles, beetroot and boiled eggs. With balasmic vinegar drizzled over it (1/2 syn)

So....that's you all up to date. Tonight for dinner i'm going to attempt a burrito style wrap thing filled with mixed chilli beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and onion, using a b free wrap and i'll use both my A choices of cheese with it. I'm going to have this with sw chips. I hope it works. I've been dreaming of it all day!! lol

I am really pleased with my meals over the last few weeks. I've been trying new things and eating a wide variety of foods which I think really helps with the weight loss. I'm going to continue to do that and hopefully I'll get my 3lbs off next week as that's my own personal weekly target.

I am so pleased I have re-joined slimming world as I am determined to lose the weight and feel better about myself. The class I go to is fabulous and my consultant Linda is so supportive and no matter how many times I have walked through her sw doors she never passes judgement and welcomes everyone whether it's their 1st time or their 5th time of joining. I'm lucky to have such a supportive group of friends there. I'd highly recommend going to a group for anyone who is doing it alone.

Well, it's time for me to go and get ready for the school run. I'll let you all know how my fake burrito turns out.

Oooh, I almost forgot, I promised i'd update my pics for every stone I lost. Well, now that I have lost 1 stone, 1lb, here is the first comparison. I can't see much difference tbh. I am still hugely obese and disgusting but hey, that's what i'm doing this for eh!

Here they are:

Eugh!!!

Bye for now xxx
