Attempting to be creative this weekend, wishing I am more artistic, I don't have an artistic bone in my body unfortunately. Any hoos, still no shopping, living on whatever I can find in freezer, fridge and cupboards - which believe me isn't much at all. I don't feel like using my precious time off work to do shopping, I know, I know, I can use internet shopping, but it's expensive enough without having to pay £5 for the delivery. I think I'll just send two daughters with list and money to supermarket tomorrow, I can then concentrate on honing my creativity skills.
Going to buy new mag on Monday at group, hoping for some inspiration from it........ I'm definitely eating too much of the same foods and need to have a change.

Good Morning!
Good morning everyone, it's sunny with a little cloud here today. I've not been blogging much as I've been on holiday and have been really busy since returning.
I only gained 2lb whilst I was away (a pound per week), so I was quite pleased when I went to group on Monday. Our leader Donna praised the fact that I took a pack of Scan Bran with me and I actually ate the whole pack, although not all at once I might add. I msut admit that the whole group found it hysterical that I did take them with me! I find it is one of those things that really seems to help with my weight loss. I had a yogurt each day and broke the Scan Bran into the yogurt, quite delicious really. Worth a try, it is always good to change things around a bit, particularly the Healthy Extras. I still haven't had any luck with the links, but my geeky friend has promised to help with that, so hopefully won't be too long now.
I need to sit down and plan my meals for the weekend and next week, will do that this evening. If I find any good recipes and I actually get around to making them, I'll post some photos (well at least I've managed that on my own)! It's a bank holiday this weekend, so should have loads of time to plan meals and shopping etc. So lets all hope for a little sunshine and enjoy the extra day off work! Back soon x

Hi to you all. Didn't do too bad this week at Slimming World group, another pound off! Haven't made any Scan Bran chocolate cake this week, although it is very nice, I just haven't had time. I've just been having the Scan Bran with a scraping of Nutella if I've felt like something a little sweet.
Lots of friends, family and colleagues have really been noticing the difference in my appearance this week, which has made me feel even better about myself. I must stress though, that I have not been doing this for anybody else, just me and just me alone. I love the plan it is the best thing I've ever found and I really do feel this is for life (not just for Christmas) ha, ha! One thing is very strange though and I can only assume it is a psychological phenomenon - when I look in the mirror, yes I do see a great difference in my appearance to how I used to look, but I still see an overweight me and when I think about how I actually feel, I mean really feel, I still feel huge. I know I have a way to go before I reach my own very personal target, perhaps then and only then will I feel thin on the inside. Speak to you all again soon. Have a great weekend and try and not stray!

Food!
I'm hoping to upload some photos of two recipes to this blog, well here goes.... The first photo is the recipe 'Falafel' - from SW and is Syn free on Extra Easy and the second is a photo of 'Barley and Butternut Squash Hotpot', again Syn free on Extra Easy and taken from the SW website. Both turned out really well and I think the hotpot would be even nicer with a little bit of chicken added, but on its own great vegetarian recipe. I actually overcooked the Falafel slightly, but they weren't too bad as I made a fat free yogurt and mint dip to go with them. See you all soon!

Busy weekend, but thought I'd tell you what I'm up to. Currently in kitchen making two delicious Slimming World recipes. Butternut Squash and Barley Hotpot and Falafel, both Syn free on Extra Easy. I'll take some photos of the said meals and try and post them, but if it is anything like the links I keep trying to add, please don't hold your breathe. I have saved some Syns today and definitely need a Vodka (small pub measure of course) :)with some diet Coke! Will be back soon to add photos...... enjoy the long weekend.
