Christmas Has Been and Gone...

I promised myself in November that I would get to target for Christmas after missing my 2nd October deadline. Did I get there at Christmas? NOPE.

Re-Evaluating Life

Sorry I haven't posted in ages.

I took on a new volunteer post for a charity at the beginning of August and it ended up being nearly a full time job on top of my paid full time job. Needless to say I have had to stand down for my own health and sanity.

I said in one of my last posts I wanted to reach target by the 2nd October which would have seen me be at Slimming World for 3 years. Well that goal came and went but I have been trying to stick with it. I seem to be going up and down the scales by 3-4lbs, never making much head way but never gaining too much either. As of a couple of days ago I got my free time back and I am going to have to make serious good use of the time between now and the weigh in before Christmas to reach my goal. So my strategy is to PLAN, PLAN, PLAN.

Roast Bolognese and Spaghetti

I love watching cookery programs and find them to be a real inspiration and Nigel Slater one of my favourites. I was able to adapt this fabulous recipes to become Slimming World friendly with just a few swaps.

Hoisin Duck Stir Fry

We eat a lot of stir fry at home as it's a great way of getting plenty of speed vegetables onto your plate and being a one opt dish it saves on the washing up too. I love this recipe as it's so simply to make and uses only two ingredients for the sauce.

Contentment Can Be a Problem Too

Apologies for not posting for a while but I seem to have been a little distracted over the last couple of months or so. I seem to have lost my mojo and then went on a wonderful holiday. This has meant that I have put on over the last 5 weeks, 6.5lbs but the previous month I went down then up by 2lbs.
