New Year, New You with Slimming World

Pennylane

Tonight I am making Red Pepper, Spinach and Sweet Potato Tortilla. I found the recipe in SW Family Feasts for a Fiver book. It is free on EE. Sounds yummy!!

The Turkey burgers were nice and moist. Recipe said three small courgettes, well we don't do small around here :rotfl: what does a small courgette look like? I used just one about 8" long.

Bought a pack of three days Penny and they are quite large so will probably just use one of them too. Will get them done this week as I bought the turkey mince (6 point something % fat) from Asda - dont know if I could have got any lower elsewhere but I thought that wasn't too bad. Will report back with the verdict.

Treeny I'm in exactly the same position as you.. I can't seem to get my head around trying to get back in the game since Xmas break. I stuffed myself yesterday with bread and pasta and crisps and chocolate.. so I'm starting the week having to lose more weight just to get a STS the same again next week! Have a good week enjoying your birthday and then have a time for yourself to think about losing weight/refocusing.

I think the things I'm going to focus on and this may help someone else which is why I'm writing them out

- mini goals - I'd like to have lost 2lb by 6th Feb(out for afternoon tea), then my birthday is a month after.. I'd like to have lost another 2.5lb by then as that gets me to 13.7 - this would be the best birthday present every
- remembering why I want to lose weight - I wrote post its and put them inside my wardrobe door - I need to make sure I look at them!
- I may put some photos up inside my wardrobe too.. One at my smallest and one at my largest - helps to remember what I look like rather than what I think I look like!
- food diary - write everything down!
- meal plan - meal plan and stick to it!!
- I need to remember it isn't fair when I can't eat what I want BUT if I want to be slimmer/healthier then I just need to get on with it, take responsibility and act like a grown up I don't do this one well..
- eat more slowly to give myself time to realise I'm full

If anyone has any I can add to my list then feel free to say..I'm after anything at the minute that can kickstart it although I have woken up with a good bit of motivation :j:j it's usually once I've gone downstairs to the kitchen I lose it

E.t.a. Sorry that wasn't such a quick post after all

Thanks for your inspirational post shala. I think I could do with noting a few of your points.

Shala - I would add "always sit at the table to eat" to your list.

I find I enjoy my food and eat more slowly when I sit at the table rather than on the sofa watching TV! When I'm on the sofa I don't really think about what I'm eating, it just goes in, chew, swallow and repeat.

Guity as charged your Honour :o:o
