Lose weight in '26 with Slimming World & SWIP's.

Matron_Midge

Yesterdays meal was utterly divine and I ate far more than I should have. Even needed a snooze late afternoon..

I’ve weighed in this morning with a 0.2kg loss. Very happy with that given the meal yesterday.

Today has been the usual yog/fruit for breakfast, a HEb sandwich of bacon medallions, lettuce and tomato with a squirt of Mayo. for lunch and tea will be a jacket spud with tuna, salad and HE cheese. Snacks (if any) will be grapes, frozen cherries and a lindor ball (last one left from my birthday)

It’s been a beautiful sunny day here but it’s turning cold now and we might have a fire this evening. Hubby has been busy and the log store is bursting with 2 tonnes of hardwood logs that we have had delivered for winter. They drop them off in large bags and then they need wheelbarrowing to the store where he stacks them in size order in the various racks. It’s really hard work and we are both shattered - and I only started helping when I got home. Anyway, done now and we shall be as warm as toast until the early part of next year (depending how much we burn/how old it gets)

Swips are worth it if you enjoyed them. That's what they're for. 😋

Yes @Jellybaby ,it's easy to spend time and money on the net. I love my heated throw though but don't need it yet. I took a cardigan in my bag today but didn't need it.

Well done on getting a small loss despite the meal @Matron_Midge .👍

£8 is exorbitant for parking @Coxy11 , especially when you're volunteering. ☹️

Are you saving swips @peony40 ?🤔

We've had a lovely day and just got home. Lunch was a JP with cheese and beans so only swips would have been in some vinaigrette on the salad. We'll have a HM ready meal from the freezer later but I will have a drink with DH to celebrate his birthday. Back on plan properly tomorrow.

Evening all 😁

Peony my first thought was that's not much food, but then i am a big eater 🤣 don;t go hungry!

Maman Happy Birthday to your DH.

MM , my sister said when she moved, that's the thing she didn't miss, spliiting and humping wood and coal after her DH passed away, but she had no choice as no central heating, well no gas or oil. Wll done on your loss 👏mind it don't bite you on the bum next week, hopefully not.

Food today

Lunch was , 1/4 calcium. 4 syns for the crackerbread

Tea was chicken and mushroom pie, fibre and 1 sv for gravy. It's not actually a whole fibre but just over half 30g the wrap weighed and a full one is 50g

@bubbs - I am being careful, I’ve been bitten too many times with complacency - you know thinking I get a loss last week,I’ll do it again kind of thing

I can imagine it was very hard for your sister. We are lucky to have central heating too. It only comes on in a morning to warm up the house before we get off to work and in the evening, 1st one home lights the fire. We are very blessed to have the choice though.

Jack pot scoffed, feet up with book (MJ arlidge’s Hide and seek) and a cuppa. No fire, decided we were warm enough after oven had been on for the spuds.

Morning all,

I enjoy that author @Matron_Midge love anything crime based. When I was off down the rabbit hole the other day, I added a few books to my Kindle so I’m sorted while away.

Checked the weather forecast and it’s supposedly dry tomorrow so no washing today 😁 I need to run a few errands and remember to pick up milk and more fruit and salad stuff.

Breakfast was the usual fruit and yoghurt and lunch will be cold meat and salad. Keeping it simple as we’re taking my aunt out for a birthday curry (her favourite) and will likely have chicken shashlik.

It seems ages since you made a pie @bubbs , obviously a sign of the seasons changing. 🍂

Enjoy your curry with your aunt @Jellybaby .😋

I'm pleased to be back properly on plan today. I'm definitely doing 'good when I can' as we're out again on Thursday. We're meeting friends for lunch in a really good Italian. We seem to have something on most weeks so I'll just have to do my best.

I finished off the Puffed Wheat this morning that's been in the cupboard for an age. DH asked if I was planning to go back to SW as that's the only time I had such a basic breakfast. I just wanted to finish it up and if I fancy a cold breakfast in future I'll have overnight oats or buy in a SW friendly granola or muesli that DH will eat too.

Today's plan-
B- Puffed Wheat (fibre), milk (calcium)
L- cold meat with rice salad and pickles (P,S,F)
D- Austrian ham hash with broccoli and cauliflower (P,S,F)
Swips- none planned

Safe travels @beanielou xx

I’ve been out all day with DDad. We went to Canterbury and did the PnR as I needed some bits for DDs birthday in a fortnights time. We had a coffee and croissant when we got there as he’d not had breakfast (!) then Spoons for lunch so I got a JP with roasted veg. Dinner was stuffed pork loin in Parma ham - I stuffed it with garlic mushrooms and spinach. Very yummy.

Will take DDad to a NT house tomorrow and hope for soup or JP for lunch there. He is here until first week of November so I can see lots of JPs in my future…..

Am over for SWIPs today but it is what it is. Hoping for better tomorrow.
