Another week down, and guess what… I stayed the same… again!

Managing this maintaining pretty well to be honest!

Here are a few meals I had this week…

And as it is Comic Relief today, and we were all wearing red for Red Nose Day, I treated myself to a new top… my first size 10 top in a long time!

And today’s recipe will be …

Wrap Pizza and ‘Slimming World’ Friendly Chips

20161127_190119

For 1 person

For Chips

1 potato peeled or withskin, chopped into chips.

Frylight Spray

Preheat oven to 220 degrees celsius
Parboil chips for 5 minutes.
Drain and allwo to stand for around 10 minutes.
Spray baking tray with Frylight spray, spread chips evenly and spray oil lightly again. Season with salt and pepper, and place in oven for 30 minutes.
Turn occasionally.

For Pizza

One tortilla wrap (I use BFree Wraps as they can be used as one of your fibre healthy extras in a day)
Tomato Puree
Passata
Dried mixed herbs
Whatever topping you want
Grated cheese (I use 40g light cheddar as it is a calcium healthy extra in Slimming World)

Place wrap on baking tray
Mix a little passata with tomato puree, season with salt and pepper and add a sprinkle of mixed herbs. This makes a simple pizza sauce base. Spread on the wrap
Top with your choice of toppings. I use lots of vegetables, like tomatoes,peppers, mushrooms, onions, sweetcorn and add cooked chicken too.
Sprinkle cheese on top and scatter a few mixed herbs on top
Place in oven for 10 minutes until the cheese has melted and is turning golden

Plate up and enjoy!

I hope you like the choice of recipe this week! As I mentioned last week, if there is anything you want me to post a recipe for, from my previous pictures, just drop me a line and let me know!

Off to a baby shower tomorrow, so will catch up soon!

Stay fit, healthy and safe Peeps!!!

Quick recap… I have reached that target weight, and I am happy to announce that I have stayed the same again this week! My food has looked a bit like this…

Last week I said I would try and share some recipes that I have been using over the last few months. There is so much that I have made, simply by throwing things into a pan, but if you have any specific requests,I would love you to ask, so I can see what I can do!

I thought this week I would start with a simple breakfast recipe of Quark pancakes.

1 tbsp of Quark
1 tsp of sweetener
1 egg

Whisk the ingredients together to make your batter.
Heat up a pan. I use Frylight spray, or a few sprays of olive oil to grease the pan.
Pour a little batter in at a time to create small pancakes. This is easier as a large one is quite hard to turn, without it falling apart!
Turn, and cook on both sides until golden brown,then put on a plate and serve with whatever you wish!
For a slightly savoury twist, I add bacon that has been cooked with the fat cut off, and then drizzle Agave Nectar on top instead of Maple syrup.
For a sweet alternative, I place mixed berries on top, sweeten some quark with a little sweetener, and dollop that on top of the berries. Sprinkle some cinnamon on top and you have a lovely sweet breakfast that feels quite decadent!
For those that are slimming world followers, you just have to syn the sweetener, and any agave nectar you use! Pretty low syn breakfast if you ask me!

Enjoy! And remember if there are any requests for specific recipes, do let me know!

It’s been a roller coaster of a week, emotionally, as you all know, what with funerals, and life-threatening accidents, then prolonged time off at home, with the threat of grazing too much… But here’s my food…There was convenience, a little naughtiness, and pancakes!

And how did I do? Well, I’m not gonna recommend the Stop The Motorway Diet, but …

I lost 2lbs!

So that is 25.5lb off with Slimming World, 30.5lb off in total, and I smashed my second Slimming World target!

As I said, I don’t recommend shock and emotion for weight loss in the long run… but it worked!

Now all of you have a wonderful week Peeps! Luck and love, and lots of lovely healthy food! ❤

It was another week of emotional ups and downs. Birthdays, coping with loss, late nights, back to school..some element of cake, and lots of trying to be good, to counteract the naughtiness of the previous week.

Then I had a great time at Bhangra this week. 45 minutes of pure jumping around! I managed to get a friend to video us.. there’s me in the middle!

That! 45 minutes of that, with one short break in the middle lol!

And the results, you ask?

Well, I managed to maintain once again!

So that’s 23.5lb off with Slimming World, and 28.5lb off in total! That elusice 0.5lb is still haunting me! But I am happy!

Until next week Peeps…I still have more cake to eat this week!

It’s been an up and down week, food-wise this week. Firstly it was half term, so a week off means my routine goes to pot, kinda! I ate good means but plenty of naughtiness crept in too! Then we had birthdays, which meant cake, and a meal out… and then cake for a couple of days after to… you can’t chuck cake out! I have included food from yesterday and today too, even though it didn’t have bearing on my weigh in… but suffice to say, we had a lovely mini break, even though it was peppered with the sad news of my dear cousin passing…
