The online recipe collection on the member website is packed with easy-to-make dishes that are slimming-friendly and tasty. Swap takeaways for fakeaways. I felt pretty pleased that I dodged the bacon roll. Tee hee, remember how I was going on about being so over bread… well, that Spanish tomato bread — oops!
Spain has too much delicious food to choose from, including an amazing Burrata and giant tomato at Bestial on the Saturday night. So, the damage: I put on 2lbs on the hen do; in France self-catering, but swimming and playing tennis I gained 1lb; then, the wedding weekend added another 1lb. I felt pretty fed up about the 1lb last week. I will have to try really hard to stick on plan this week to compensate. So far, so good… apart from a killer hangover and another wedding!
I am feeling more positive. It gave me a much needed push in the right direction. I love Thai flavours and I made a speedy rice stir fry with some fresh flavours, mixed with a pack of savoury rice and some store-cupboard ingredients such as fish sauce and lemongrass paste. Cottage cheese alert Tesco sell a really good fat free cottage cheese and I love their pineapple version for snacking.
I gave my steak burger a Slimming World makeover with a zingy Asian slaw, corn and roasted courgette and aubergine. The only cure was fat coke and lots of salt vinegar crisps — not exactly on plan! OK, so I blame this chocolate cafe, Fazer, handily positioned across from my hotel in Helsinki, for the extra lb! It was my last weigh-in before wearing the bridesmaid dress and …I lost 3lbs! I was a bit worried, as you know. Claire has also been on Slimming World for the wedding and looked amazing!
Monday was a slow day still recovering but by Tuesday I got myself back down to the shops and stocked up on all the healthy Slimming World foods. In the basket is week are pink grapefruits, plums and Muller lights to make some tasty breakfast oats, smoked trout, mackerel and sliced meats for salads and some chicken and spinach to make a slimming world curry. Here goes. It makes a change from my usual bran flakes. In Waitrose this week cooked quails eggs were reduced so I grabbed a pack for Syn free snacking.
I made this curry from the Slimming World website. It was really creamy tasting from the yogurt, but I did find the spices a little bitter for my taste. Next time I might add a little sweetness to balance the flavour.
Actually a spoonful in the curry would be nice…. Anyway, I got away with a maintain. I might have to do the same next week, too, to give myself a chance to loose something.
What an achievement to be voted let alone win and such an inspiration to new and existing members. Sunshine salad I made this yummy Caesar salad last weekend and we ate it outside in the sun- bliss! Instead of using oil mixed with the egg yolk I made the dressing with water and natural yogurt.
Adding some garlic and chives and a squeeze of lemon really perked up the flavour. I also swapped Syn-ful croutons for crispy new potatoes. I made a big batch of slow cooker ragu and the kids lapped it up. Thank you to Megan for letting me know. I think I actually needed a little break. Take this weekend, for example, I was racing around taking the kids to activities and I ended up grabbing a cheese sandwich and a bag of crisps for lunch.
Next was a pizza for supper with the rugby and Sunday lunch was pretty boozy and included a rather nice slice of Bakewell tart with cream! So, this week two good things have happened to help me get back on it.
First, our Slimming World group leader Gemma has been up to head office and is sending us all a boost via email. And secondly, and very excitingly, Iceland have just launched their new range of Slimming World ready meals! I went up to the press launch on Tuesday ahead of the store launch and tried them.
WOW such tasty meals! Including gorgeous soups that taste just like homemade, an amazing curry and a superb chilli chicken that actually tasted of chilli. I was really impressed. This tasty Slimming World cod provencal cheered up a miserable Monday. DH loves the meals I cook on Slimming World.
Have you tried Heck chicken sausages? They have two new flavours coming out soon. Try them in pasta sauce. I had to stash a plum blondie in the freezer to stop me eating it! I guess this is what batch cooking is all about so you have something tasty on standby. I turned up to my Saturday Slimming World group, got back on the scales and the result… a slightly-wobbly-almost-went-up-half-a-pound maintain — hurrah! I emailed Gemma and asked for a holiday week, as I was too poorly to brave the outside world and getting weighed was just a step TOO far.
This missing weeks really racks up the costs. Let see how I get on. Not too much to worry about food wise this week, but there may be booze ahead… oh, and leftover chocolate cake!
One-pot wonders One for the weekend is this delish beef stew. Its great bunging all the ingredients in the pot in the morning, then hey presto, you get back later and lunch is served! Guess what I found! Guess what I found in Waitrose this week? A big humungous tub of low fat cottage cheese. Golden rule Remember to whack on loads of extra veg and salad on the side of your meals.
This helps you to feel full and will stop you reaching for that biscuit tin. Also grab lemon and limes and use the zest and juice to perk up chicken, soups, stews and salads. Target I was and keep feeling really positive about getting back on plan.
My school mum friend has been going great guns and has already lost a stone. I tested a rather gooey, rich chocolate cake this week covered with sumptuous chocolate curls. After all my worry about chocolate cake and I got a 2lb loss! But, apart from cooking with more oil than I would normally use in a Slimming World recipe, all the food was cooked from scratch and packed with healthy veg.
I rewarded myself on Saturday night with lots of crusty bread to mop up my juicy sausage supper and a huge plate of cheese and biscuits to finish it off with! This week we went to the pub and those few Syns for roasties and gravy were well worth it! Staying to group I really should start staying to group to get more inspiration, so I can reach that target. They also do group taster sessions where you share some Syn free recipes with the group. Our tree went up, the twinkly lights switched on and that was it — I settled into the festive spirit.
I think I might just wait and rejoin in the new year…. In the meantime, here are my top tips for surviving Christmas on the Slimming World plan…. Spiralizing Have you tried a spiralizer?
I toss a mixture of raw courgette, carrot, parsnip and shredded cabbage with fresh lime, chilli, coriander and fish sauce for a quick Thai-style slaw or simply blanch carrot and courgette strands and use to pad out spaghetti.
This mushroom ragu with courgetti is the perfect recipe for beginners! Green juicing I bought a NutriBullet with my supermarket points result! I had this beetroot and kale salad at a local restaurant and it gave me inspiration for my Sunday roast side.
