Spring into Summer 2012 with Slimming World

theonlynuttytart

Hello (big wave!)

I started with big intentions and then went on holiday and it went a bit off track! So i will start again in the morning. I did however get lots of exercise including castleaerobics..... this involves running around welsh castles to keep up with a 6 year old who climbs up every turret there is. My thigh muscles are killing me!:rotfl:

I think there must be something wrong with me.... I've had no syns today? And I don't want any! Will use them tomorrow probably.

Finally got home and went to bed and was awake on and off all night now this morning every part of my body aches and my head feels like its going to explode! i hope its a bug and my dad isn't right ssaying i have pushed my body too far because its day 30 of my shred today and i will be gutted if i get to the last day and can't do it!

I think, and I know your not going to want to hear it but Dad might just be right. Take it easy today (who is going to know if you do day 30 of the shred a few days late?). We certainly won't tell Jillian!!

Take good care of yourself. x

That doesn't sound like you've overdone it Vicki, that sounds like a bug, take care of yourself.

that sounds lovely! Have agood evening!
Is the recipe for the chicken on the sw site? I like the sound of it.

You know what, I pick up so many recipes from so many different places that I don't remember where they're from but here's the chicken which I've adapted from the original one I had -

Fried Chicken with Coconut Milk
8 chicken legs
4 chicken thighs
2 garlic cloves
2 sachets sweetener
2 tspns salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic salt
Frylight
2 small onions
1 tsp lime juice
1 tsp curry powder
1 can coconut milk (the one I use is 67 cals per 100ml)
2 bay leaves

Sprinkle the chicken pieces (I skin the thighs but not the legs) with salt, pepper and garlic salt.
Brown the chicken on all sides in Frylight in a large frying pan.
Remove from the pan.
Grind the onions and garlic together, using the fine knife of a food chopper.
Add these to the pan.
Add sweetener, lemon juice and curry powder.
Add some more Frylight if sticking and cook until the onion is tender.
Return the chicken to the pan.
Add the coconut milk and bay leaves and coat the chicken well.
Cover the pan and simmer for 30-40 mins.

Medmum, your in Israel right? as your name suggests, somewhere hot Do you have the slimming world books?
I don't need mine, I also have the new pack given just after Christmas and also a cook book, if you would like I will let you have them, I will send you them over if you give me your address ( private of course ) let me know.

I am GT but I also have all the books and several of the cookbooks as I joined when I was visiting my family in Scotland in February. I got the new back and bought several of the books. I also had a subscription to the magazine until last month but I'm hoping that one of my friends who still goes to the group that I joined is going to buy it for me and give it to my Mum to send over. Thanks anyway for your really kind offer.

Vicki hope you're feeling better today. It definitely sounds like a bug to me too. Get plenty of rest and drink lots of water to help flush out your system.

I had such a great SW day yesterday despite being in the kitchen for a lot of it.

Today has been generally OK although I've had many more syns than I should have had so I'm going to try and cut down on the syns for the next few days to make up for it.

I'm just about to get on the dreadmill for the first exercise in a very long time. Thinking also of taking out a membership for the local pool so that I can alternate the walking with swimming. You can't just go in for one off visits, you actually have to join unfortunately.

Vicki~Hope you are ok.

I just cant stop eating all the wrong things at the mo.
My big trigger seems to be stress.
Bah.
