Losing Weight with Slimming World Week 23

Another week passed on Slimming World and I can now see why this is totally sustainable in my future. Yes, I may have cheat days where I eat and drink what I like but, generally speaking, I much happier eating like this!

The food I ate

Once again, I didn’t meal plan that hard but that is because Ross was out much of the week and we were a bit here and there!

We had our usual risotto when I got back from last Monday’s meeting. There were a couple of evenings where Ross was away so Grace and I had teriyaki chicken – complete with mushrooms (Ross doesn’t eat them!), salmon for me and spaghetti bolognese for Ross and I made a mexican chicken stew on Friday night which I stretched into Saturday evening. This was because, on the Friday, Ross was out gigging with his band so it was just Grace and I again and then, on the Saturday night, I was out at 7pm as I was hosting a quiz over in Taunton.

On Saturday lunchtime we went to an Italian restaurant over in Ilchester. It is one of our favourites and we hadn’t been there for a while but I knew that they did a brilliant seafood salad and enjoyed every bit of it!

On Sunday we were out for lunch again. This time I chose lamb shank which came with roasted veg and mashed potato and a rosemary gravy. I ate the potato and gravy sparingly but really enjoyed the lamb!

For breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, I made syn-free pancakes ahead of making them at Monday’s meeting.

Favourite Discoveries of the Week

I have discovered that making the pancakes with porridge oats which have been blitzed in a blender is definitely the best way. Whole oats are a bit thick and crunchy and Ready Brek is a bit sticky!

I bought a multi-pack of the beef hula hoops. They are delicious! Better than the salted in my opinion.

How I felt

I felt great last week, although, towards the end of the week I got my cold back again. Going and hosting the quiz was a real test to my willpower. There were loads of lovely desserts on offer and I didn’t bat an eyelid!

Exercise

More walking, more kettle bells but I know that if I am going to reach my target AND stay fit, I really need to kick myself up the backside on this one. There is no point losing all this weight if I am not going to get fit too!

The Slimming World meeting

This week was all about our Greatest Loser for the year and bringing in free food. I took in my crepe maker as promised and made a pancake (or two) for those who wanted them. Grace came with me and was extremely helpful.

We didn’t do image therapy (chatting about our week individually) but we did speak about all the lovely food which people had brought.

It was lovely to get a very nice compliment from one of the members that I hadn’t seen in a while!

I am not sure I am quite ready for an SP week but shall certainly be doing this in the next couple of weeks to help boost more weightloss. For this week, I am hoping for around 1.5lbs.
