Slimming World - Nearly There

This week appears to have been a good week for me. 2lb off and only 3lb off target now  :) 

  And I got my Club 10

I started off the week being strict and then I got to the weekend and it went a bit hay wire. It was St.Patrick’s day, so I am going to use the excuse of being Irish and say I had to celebrate. I was still relatively good but not super strict and you know what? I think that’s what helped.

Its Lent at the minute and I am struggling to use my daily syn allowance but I definitely did this week and I am near 100% sure that is what helped me. This week I am going to use at least 8 syns a day and fingers crossed I will see a weight loss again next week.

Thanks for all your support

Slimming World Update - Stuck

 wrong but I’m just not getting the loss that I want every week. I have been off chocolate, biscuits, fizzy drinks, crisps and takeaways for 3 weeks now and in that space of time I have only lost 3.5lb. I know its still a loss but its just not good enough for me.

I go away in 7 weeks and I am 5lb off target. I want to get there before I go.

This week I am going to be even stricter than usual, and I am exercising this week. Im just back from a Zumba class and I am determined to exercise more.

Does anyone have any tips or advice for me? I feel like I have hit a wall and I really want to get over it and get to the finish line.

Slimming World 4 and Operation 14 update

All I can say is that I have to try harder. My official Slimming World weigh in says that in 2 weeks I put on 4.5lb. I feel like rubbish.

Having being so bad with what I’ve been eating lately and the complete lack of exercise, I have decided that today is the day I step up the pace. After re-watching Onna’s videos, I feel that I am ready for this and I intend to be 100% committed.

  I am also going to write down EVERYTHING I eat, and all the exercise that I do. I will post my food and exercise diary every Wednesday. I really want to lose at least 14lb for my holiday in May, and in order for this to happen I need to be focused. Please feel free to share your weight loss tips with me and your exercise plans. I need as much help and support as I can get.

Slimming World 2

This week at Slimming World I did good. I lost 4lb. 

(excuse the crappy BB pic)

I was completely shocked at this, as the only thing I did different was cut out bread. I only have 5.5lb to get to my target now, and I hope to have got there in 3-4 weeks time.

This week I am going to stay off bread and cut down on my Diet Coke intake. I am getting addicted to the stuff again. I didn’t exercise last week like I said I would, so fingers crossed I’ll make time for it this week.

How have you all got on this week if you have been trying to lose weight? Would anyone be interested in some food posts about different recipes and food I have been trying lately?

Weekly Weigh In 12

Hey everyone, so another super fast week as passed. I can’t believe it is nearly April. We are nearly finished ¼ of 2011. Kinda scary thinking about it like that. Last week was a good week for me.

1 – Weight - I lost 3.2pounds last week! I am on target for Onna's weight loss challenge. I am so happy with this. I honestly didn’t expect anything as I am enjoying a few more treats but then again I am exercising. I am starting to love the feeling after exercising when I'm in the shower so proud that I had a good workout. Anyone else like that? I am currently working on a few recipe posts for you all as I am getting into the healthy eating habit.

2- Cooking. I have been cooking so much this week. I made dinner all weekend and I baked soda bread on Sunday morning which is all gone already. I love chopping all the ingredients up, mixing it all in a pot and I especially love it when everyone loves my food. When I cook I know what’s in my food and therefore feel it is better for me.

3 – TLC- I am in need of some TLC, not from anyone else but myself. I need to start treating my hair more often and myself as well. I had a bath the other night for the first time in yonks (I’m not dirty I just like showers more), and I remembered why I like them so much. Just lying with a face pack on thinking of absolutely nothing. It is going to happen more often. I feel better with a tan but I never make time to put on fake tan. I have a feeling that April is going to be all about me J

4 – Make up – I have been finding gems in my collection that I forgot I had, but the other day when I was interview shopping I went to Superdrug. Things fell into my basket and money fell out of my purse. I will be doing a haul soon and I didn’t spend that much money for what I got

5 – Blog – I know that this topic makes a regular occurrence in my Weekly- Weighs but I can’t help it. I have 71 followers at the minute and I am thankful to each and everyone of you. I think I am going to have a giveaway at 100 subbies just to show you all how much I care. And I am going to try my hardest and blog more. Pinky Promise

So what have you been up to this week? PS I am loving the change in the brightness at night

Weekly Weigh In 11

I am going to start off by saying hello to all my new followers *waves*. I am currently on 66 which is amazing as I never thought I would even get 10 so big hug.

Weight- From the beginning of Lent (Wednesday 9^th March) I have lost 5 pounds! I am so happy with this J I am going to take a picture of my weight every Monday morning and keep you all updated with a picture in the sidebar. (This is so hard for me as even my boyfriend doesn’t know my weight but I need motivation). I am also taking part in Onna’s weight loss challenge so I need to stay motivated to complete it. I haven’t been doing much exercise but I will be going to the gym more often. I am eating a lot better and if anyone would be interested in some recipe posts feel free to let me know.

Money – At the start of Lent I had intended to save £1000. This is so unrealistic for me so I have scrapped that idea and I’m just going to save what I can but a minimum of £500. I am not buying anything that I don’t need so I have no idea where my money is going. And my car insurance is due for renewal at the end of this month. L

University – This is stressing me out. I really want to go back to University in September to become a primary school teacher. I just haven’t been lucky so far at getting a place but fingers crossed. However *what is meant to be will not pass you by*

Positivity – After the horrible tragedy’s that happened lately in the world *my thought and prayers go to them all* I have realised that I am actually quite lucky. I may not have everything I want (LV Neverfull MM), but I have everything I need to live a happy life. I have friends, family and dreams to get me through my tough times. I am not going to take anything or granted anymore. I feel in such a better mood lately because negative thoughts have been banished from my mind.

This was quite a long rambly post so congratulations if you have got to the end. What have you been up to this week? Do you have any requests?

PS thanks again to all my followers old and new

Green Monster

As you all know I have recently been on a bit of a health kick. I want to lose weight and get fitter. I was watching Gemma on Youtube the other day and she made a Green Monster. This inspired me to make my very first one today. And can I add it was yummy.

So here’s what I used:

2 Cups of Spinach (I didn’t cook mine)

1 Cup of Soya Milk

1 Banana

2 Strawberries (Prob should have used a bit more)

And a small handful of ice cubes

I threw everything in the blender and whizzed them together for about 15 seconds to make sure all the lumps and bumps were away. I was a little scared to taste it as it was VERY green but I tried it and I loved it. It is very filling and can see myself drinking this a lot more. However next time I will be adding more strawberries.

Have you ever tried a Green Monster…What do you think of them?
