Progress is slow at the moment but I'm still feeling good as any progress is progress, right?I've got nothing too interesting to report this week but seeing as I never got time to write up last week's success I thought I'd do a bit of a two in one post!You might remember that week 5 was the week I was on holiday in New York eating my way through all the delights that New York has to offer whilst walking a million miles every day. I put on 2lb that week which was a mini-miracle in itself so I started week six feeling super determined to get rid of that 2lb straight … [Read more...]
My Weight Loss Journey – Week 5 {22 February 2019}….
Oh Dear! As far as Slimming World goes, 'oh dear' pretty much sums up my week as I was determined to enjoy my holiday in New York as much as possible so I rather generously gave myself a week off Slimming World.I've had an amazing week away with the kids though and although I know I could have made the effort and eaten much better than I actually did, I don't feel disappointed with myself in any way because I made a conscious decision to not stick to plan and to work extra hard when I got back to lose whatever I put on.When I stepped on the scales this … [Read more...]
My Weight Loss Journey – Week 3 {9 February 2019}….
This week was filled with temptation but I've just got back from my weigh in and surprisingly, I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself. Before I tell you the results of this mornings weigh in, let me tell you how my week went. ;-)We started the week with a date night meal out, then there was a Birthday, then a leaving buffet for someone at work and finally, to top it all off there was an Awards Dinner last night for work which involved a three-course meal and lots of Prosecco, shots and Rose. Imagine the temptations that came my way this week! I tried … [Read more...]
My Weight Loss Journey – Week 2 {2 February 2019}….
The second week of my weight loss journey was definitely more of a struggle than the first week! When I wrote my post last week I felt super motivated - a loss of 4lbs in my first week was a fantastic boost and I was over the moon and ready for a super successful second week.I was convinced that week two was going to be just as successful and had high hopes of matching my first week's loss but my willpower left the building around teatime on Saturday when I decided that a couple of extra grams of cheese on my Slimming World Syn Free Pizza wouldn't hurt anyone. In … [Read more...]

Meal Planning Monday – Slimming World Style….
So, June is shaping up to be a super exciting and super busy month so I think it's time to get back on track with Slimming World. ;-)I'd only just (re) joined Slimming World when my Dad died in March and life got a bit chaotic so I used that as an excuse to put off being good and sticking to the plan.I weighed myself yesterday and I've lost 1lb since that time so at least I know that whilst I haven't been good, at least I haven't been too bad.I've sat down and worked out my Slimming World meal plan for the week and yes, I know that to make it work long term, I need to get us … [Read more...]
