So far so good

It's going well so far :-) I made a menu plan on Sunday night and it has worked out great! We have enjoyed some yummy meals this week and I am going to share links and pics so everyone else can enjoy them too! I'm generous like that :-)

 I am in the - this is so easy why have I not being doing it all along phase!
It wont last.
OR it might! Positivity LeeAnn!

 Maybe this is the time that I am actually ready to stick to it! I am crazy enthusiastic about soup and cous cous! lol So that HAS to be a good thing, right?

The cous cous I have enjoyed the most was this stuff

Aldi lemon and coriander cous cous with tomato, cucumber and spring onion chopped up through it. Yummy! I added feta cheese the first time and it was too much for me. I prefer it with just the veggies. I ate this for lunch two days in a row and it was great. I always need good alternatives to bread when on slimming world.

Pinterest has been amazing for me , so far. So many yummy recipes at the click of a button! This dish is

 Ginger and garlic prawn stir fry with noodles

So yummy. So so yummy! The only thing I changed was to marinade the prawns in the sauce as I prepared and cooked everything else. Delicious! AND totally syn free! I made more in the evening and ate it for lunch the next day. This will definitely be on our menus many many weeks I think!

Tonight I made this.

Garlicky prawn and pea risotto

This was yummy too, I ate mine with a large side of steam fresh veg. It was very filling and I couldn't eat it all

And these little lovelies are going to be my life line. 3 syns each or two bars as a B choice healthy extra. They are yummy and chocolaty and filling enough to warrant using a healthy extra for but yummy enough to seem like a treat. Very good.

So thats it so far, thankfully as I am typing this I was chatting with Lor Lor and she enlightens me to the fact I have actually been doing something wrong all week! Holy smokes! Hopefully I will still lose weight and thank goodness I found out now! Oops!  No wonder it has been so easy this week :-)

Tomorrow we are having a lovely lazy, cosy home day. DVDs, family time and maybe catch up on some laundry.

It has also been snowing all day but not lying at all, so its perfect weather for snuggling.

Happy Friday everyone xx

A new old venture

Tomorrow morning I am starting back at Slimming world.
To lose the same weight that I have lost countless times before.
BUT I am still hopeful that this time I willl reach target and above all else I am looking forward to being healthier and having more energy.

I have pinned lots of exciting recipes and made my menu plan for the week.
I am excited this time and I am not nervous! Which is a good sign.

So watch this space for updates and some of my favourite recipes and hopefully some updated pictures of my success!

Positivity is my word for 2013 :-) that is what is going to help me succeed
