update :-)

Right i thought i better write an update post as i haven't done one in a little while, life is crazy at the moment with wedding season kicking in along side proms too which means i have been busy with trials and brides and lovely little prom ladies.

Getting back to the slimming world side of things i have now reached my 2stone award which i am so chuffed with my total loss to date is 30.5 lbs ( 2 stone 2.5 lbs ) I am really proud of myself as this is the first time in my life that i have made any positive changes it is for the best but the thing that is so frustrating is my clothes there all getting to big and look like bin bags. I know it is a good thing but i flat rightly refuse to go and buy new stuff when i am trying to lose another 2-3 stone and that will give me the push i need to buy a whole new wardrobe.

On the food side of things i have been trying my best to experiment with different dishes and stuff but the trouble is i know what i like and i tend to stick to what works for me.
My main meals for the week consist of

Pork and Apple burgers
Beef burgers
Spaghetti and homemade meatballs
Slimming world all day breakfast
Roast Dinner
Pasta with mince and veggies (possibly my favourite)

I have also found that my best weeks are when i really limit my syns i aim to stick to non during the week and at the weekend i use all 15 on a Saturday and Sunday.

On the other hand this week has been horrendous its star week for me you know what that means ladies Chocolate Chocolate and more Chocolate mixed in with bread and wine and cheese i am 100% positive that i will have a gain this week  but i have just had my food shopping delivered this evening and that is packed with all free slimming world bits and bobs so I'm going to get back on it.

Wish me luck

Until next time lovelies xxxxx

My Stirfry :-)

So the other night i finished swimming at 8:15pm and was so hungry when i got home so made myself a massive stir fry !!
I know that everyone probally knows how to make a stir fry but this is just the way i done it and it was so good !!

You will need
  • Beansprouts
  • Water chestnuts
  • Pak choi
  • Baby Sweetcorn
  • Mange Tout
  • 1 Onion
  • Mushrooms ( i have chestnut and white mushrooms)
  • Light soy sauce
  • Fresh or lazy garlic
  • Fresh Ginger
  • Fry Light
  • Lean meat if you wish to add
  • Dried noodles
So i heat up a wok with a few squirts of fry light then i add the garlic ginger and onion dont leave them too long or they will burn and be minging !!
Then add all the vegetables but keeping some of the beansprouts to one side stirfry untill the vegetables are too your liking i like mine a little softer then ill add soy sauce to create a sauce for the dish.
While this is cooking then put your noodles on to cook and once there soft add them to the wok with the veggies (after they have been drained of course)
Just before you take it off the heat add in the beansprouts you kept to the side so the add extra crunch :-)

Also if you wanted to add meat to the dish just cook the meat first then add all the veggies and what not after :-)

Garnish with fresh  and some chilli flakes and your all done :-)

Hope you enjoy

Cubed potatoes with rosemary and garlic x

New yummy thing's that i have been making is rosemary and garlic cubed potatoes there soooo lovely and perfect if you need something with a little bite!

Preheat the oven to 180 for a fan assisted ( gas mark 5 )

You can either peel your pots if you want to or leave the skin on i use my nicer dicer to cut the potatos into little cubes obviousaly you can do this manualy.
Then in a pestal and morter i ground up 3 garlic cloves (i love garlic)
with 1 spring of rosemary.

Get a container with a lid and spray the potatos with fry light and add the garlic and rosemary to them, pop the lid on a give it a good shake so all the potatos are covered with the mixture.
Dispense on to a wire cooking rack there availble from £1 land and are so handy as everything cooks evenly pop in the oven and just leave them for about 20 minutes just keeping an eye on them.

Hope you enjoy them if you do try them they are so yummy :-) xxx

Oh and i forgot to mention there free on EE xx
