Slimming World - a Christmas countdown!

If you joined a SW group and only went to the first meeting - it would cost you £10 and you would get all the stuff you are bidding on on EBay.

I'm taking your advice and Consultant 31's too (:wave: I feel I know you too!), and going to go along next Monday to join. I've also decided to give going to the meetings a go too. I'll find the money somehow, but I see it as investing in me, for a change. If it was a case of finding £5 for the children each week, I would.

I am also going to take along my 12 y/o son, who has gained quite a bit of weight this year, to a point where I'm now worried about it. I want him to learn to take control of his healthy eating when he's away from the home, and hope that if he feels we're 'in it together' he'll feel OK about it. At the moment any mention of weight gets him very tearful and defensive (oh how I remember that feeling at his age, having always been overweight). He has agreed to go, and even read through the SW magazine last night, saying what meals he liked the look of. He seems positively keen!

I had the opportunity to do the big food shop yesterday, which is why I wanted to get started straight away, so the fridge is stocked with fruit & veg, the freezer is full of lean meat. We've made a bowl of sugar-free jelly, and I have lots of muller lites. Are the values for the new Nom fat-free yogurts the same?

I've got to get myself better sorted at planning meals ahead, so that I know what each day will include.

Today I'm planning this:
B - porridge, muller lite & banana
L - bacon omlette with mixed salad
D - chicken, baked potato, with carrots, leeks & peas.
250ml milk for my cups of tea today
Snacks - plums, apple, banana, s/f jelly

Does that sound about right? Am I missing out a fibre?

I love reading what everyone else is eating each day, as it gives me some ideas of what to have.

For anyone who has this month's magazine, the 'inspired' story on P.28 is a friend of mine on facebook (he's more of a friend of my oldest friend), but that's my little claim to SW fame for today!:rotfl:

For me, yesterday was soooooooo flexi that I'm not admitting to you lot how many syns it was!

Off work today, though - should have been fishing but it's been cancelled. Had a rather nice lie in after 14 hour day.

Rosti based quiche

Grate potatoes, squeeze dry in clean tea towel.

Press grated potato into a flan dish including up the sides and put in oven at 200 for about 10 minutes or until just browned (don't overcook).

Put chopped veg into the flan (and bacon if you have it) and cover with beaten eggs plus a little milk and cheese.

Bake in oven until set.

Serve with crisp salad and/or boiled potatoes and veg.


Blackberry-Rum asked me to let her know how my experiment with the hash brown based quiche worked.

We had it for dinner last night with a nice mixed salad and it was lovely. It's a bit messy and fiddly pressing the grated potato into the dish - LOL! I could probably have pre-baked the base a bit longer as it could have done with being a bit crisper than it was.

I made far too much filling so ended up having to grate more potato and make a second quiche, which I bunged in the freezer to have later in the month (no idea what it'll be like though!).

Definitely a cheap, tasty meal using up the remains of veg in the fridge. It's also free on EE if you use the cheese as your HEA.

sarymclary - we have a school girl that comes to class with her mum and she has done really well. although she is too shy to talk in the class she always attends and has apparently lost nearly 2 stone. so i am sure your boy will do well.
also with the money - if you decide you like the classes think about buying a countdown as you get a week free for every 6 you buy in advance.


Zizzi last night was very nice.
lovely little salad with loads of balsamic vinegar
the pasta was nice but the tomato sauce was abit too acidic so i didnt eat it all. also they gave me a really stingey bit of mozzarella which is probably a good thing.
also had the green beans which i beleive had a little oil on too.
however i think i was still in my syns for the day so am happy


today;

ee
b - hifi (heb), muller, satsuma
l - muller cheesecake (1), 2 babybel (hea), velvet crunch (4), satsumas x2
