I weighed yesterday and I stayed the same. Better than gaining, I guess. =) There’s still chocolate in the house, see. Look what I’ve got to contend with :
Leftover Chocolate from Christmas
I’ve taken some to work the last two days, and took a huge box of Foxes biscuits to one of the Red Cross events and they go…. I’m trying to give them away, but they somehow get dragged out and sit on the table in the living room…. =/
Serves 3/4
- 1kg baby new potatoes cut in half
- Smoked Bacon chopped with fat cut off
- 3 leeks
- 1 onion chopped
- Fry Light
- Tin of baked beans
- Eggs
- Seasoning (I used paprika)
To go with it:
- Baked beans
- Eggs
- Boil the potatoes for about 10 mins then toss them in a pan with the leeks, add some frylight and let it fry for about 10 mins.
- Add the bacon, onions and pakrika (if you use it) and cook for another 10 – 15 mins.
- While this is cooking heat up the baked beans and poach some eggs.
Serve!
Picture doesn’t really do much justice but it tasted well nice.
Today I went to New Look and tried on a size 16 jeans and they nearly fitted. I could do them up but were a little tight so didn’t buy them…. Will be so good to fit into a size 16 again!!! 
I’m going to weigh in every Monday… I weighed last week and I weighed just now and…. *du-du-duuuuuu*
I lost 2lbs last week. Even though I was picking in between, my breakfasts and main meals were healthy and I think made up for it. I use the halogen oven and actifry A LOT and I think this helps…. it’s so easy to use as well. There’s chocolates in the house but I don’t want to touch them. To be perfectly honest, I have even thought about chucking them in the bin! Oh well, let’s see how this week goes…
The only problem starting in January is there’s still the left over chocolates etc in the house. Got to admit I have been picking, but I have been eating decent meals in between so hopefully it will balance out when I weigh next week.
Most of the stuff is gone, and in my defence, I’m not picking much! Can’t wait for all the crap to go so there’s no temptations in the house…..
Tonight for dinner I have chicken thighs which I will season and wrap bacon around. Got veg and potatoes to go with them. 
I know I haven’t updated much over the last few months but it’s been so incredibly difficult over Christmas and life just went manic. I did try and control myself as much as I could be it’s difficult when the house is full of chocolate (and no, I didn’t buy it!) and everyone else is eating around you…. so now it’s the New Year, it’s a New Me! I am so determined about it… I can’t really afford £5 a week at the moment so I’m going to cut back and take the skills I’ve learnt and go from there..
I feel so horrible at the moment, I look in the mirror and hate my body, I’ve never weighed this much in my life!!! So I’m going to use this blog as a focus point and try my hardest to get to my target weight.
Well I weighed in yesterday and I lost!
-2 1/2 pounds!
I’m quite happy with that although I would have prefered more. A round figure like 3lbs would have been better but hey, it’s a loss.
I have worked hard this week. I have eaten quite a lot of veg and been exercising more than what I would normally. As well as walking the dog I have been on the Wii playing ‘The Biggest Loser’, I think it’s better than ‘Wii Plus’, to be honest.
I think ‘The Biggest Loser’ is more personal than the Wii game and the workouts are more fun as well. I think if you want some serious weightloss TBL is the one to go for, I think the Wii game is good socially and just if you want a laugh. But at the end of the day, whatever gets your pulse going!
My downpoint is I love my coffee (and wine, but I have laid off the wine!!) and cold fluid is better for weightloss than hot fluid. So maybe if I have a coffee and then a cold drink, to try and alternate then progress may be better? Either way, I need to try and cut down.
I have just got back from the dentist and I was going to go on the Wii but really I’m feeling quite sorry for myself. My face feels so swollen and I don’t feel up to anything. I’ll see how I feel later, if it wears off… but right now, I just want to chill.
Well, it was sort of brunch. I have been so busy todayI must of lost a couple of pounds just running round! As I had no work today I made the most of it and knuckled down to doing some tidying up etc. Feel much better for doing it now. I didn’t sit down until I finished it because I knew once I sat down, that was it! Although I made a special effect to sit down to eat my late breakfast!
Yes, on this diet I can even enjoy a really filling breakfast. Today I cooked baked beans, tinned tomatos, quorn burgers and bacon and it was luuuush!!!! It’s a shame I don’t like mushrooms otherwise it would of been even better. I was going to have toast with it but thought I didn’t need it, and I could save myself and maybe have some crackerbreads and soft cheese later or something if I get peckish. I’ve just eaten Ham, Egg and Chips so I shouldn’t do. =D
Today has been a good day. Productive and healthy! Setting down this evening now watching The X Factor. Tempted to have a glass of wine… but I have deliberately not bought any. What I don’t buy, I can’t eat or drink!
Today is the start of a new me and I am determined, more than ever, to stick with it!
I used to be with Slimming World up until back last year when life just became manic and I have sadly put back on the weight that I lost. It seems such a waste but at the same time, it doesn’t, because throughout my time being a member I learnt a lot of tips and ways of healthy eating.
I have re-joined Slimming World and hope to shift the pounds. It probably sounds ambitious but if I could lost a stone before Christmas I will be happy. There’s Christmas parties coming up and I just feel like a flump at the moment. =( I refuse to buy bigger clothes. I hate getting on the scales and seeing the weight I am now.
I thought starting this blog would be a good idea, to help me stay on track and maybe, it could help other people too. You never know!
I know I can do it, it’s just staying persistant, and I WILL stay persistant. Today is the start of a new me!!! =)
