Lose baby weight mission

[kayla6002]

Just like to quickly pop in and say I'm not slacking already, I have been very busy since Thursday went the the caravan and then had a hen party when I came back yesterday and now a hen party again tonight. I am trying to keep to plan as much as possible. I will fully update tomorrow when I can relax lol.

Well done on your weight loss so far ypu appear tp be really focussed on your goal! I too have just rejoined (well from home) after having my little boy 8 weeks ago. I have loved looking at the recipes you have tried, I am often finding it a bit of an effort to sort myself out so the recipes and pics have proven to be some inspiration tonight!

Thank you, it's hard trying to find time with a new baby ain't it. But I find that if I write a meal plan for the week in advance, that helps me so much because I stick it on my fridge and then all I have to do is look at it to see what I'm having instead of trying to decide on the day and then just picking at crap instead. I haven't wrote my diary on here since Wednesday been so busy but I have been sticking to plan as best as I can and have wrote it all down on paper so I know what I have had and can update on here later.

I have changed my account over as didnt realise I was logged into one which was years old! (Butt3rb34n)
Congrats on your sts bet it was a relief compared to the reading at home. I ised to torture myself with the scales at home when I went to group they would always leave me expecting the worse! It is definately hard fitting things in around them but once the prep amd planning is in place im the same stick to the idea its when I dont plan 100% when the issues creep in.

Here's to a 100% week good luck


Ps I am going to have to try out the moussaka when my oh gets back from work next week... loved eating them on hols last year

 

[kayla6002]

hi RB.1991 thanks ye was definitely a relief was so nervous about weigh in i didn't really want to make any more work for myself, i gained enough while i was pregnant. i am starting to get used to doing more things around the little one now, didn't realise how hard it would be to get into some sort of routine, but planning my weeks meals in advance definitely helps, if i didn't do that i would just pick and eat stuff im not supposed to. The moussaka was really nice especially with the greek salad, i wasnt to sure about the yogurt topping but it was actually really good. well i hope your enjoying your slimming world journey as much as i am, even though it can be challenging at times and good luck for this week.

Tonight's tea was chicken and vegetable paella


2 chicken breast-sliced
2 medium onions-finely chopped
4 garlic cloves-chopped
300g bottled roasted red peppers-thinly sliced
2 carrots-cut into 1cm pieces
300g paella rice
3 tbsp parsley
1 bay leaf
2 tbsp smoked paprika
A large pinch of saffron threads
1 litre of boiling vegetable stock
100g frozen peas

Spray a large wok or frying pan with frylight and place over a medium heat. Fry the chicken until starting to brown, then add onions and cook for 4 minutes, then add the garlic, red peppers and carrots and fry for a further 4-5 minutes. Stir in the rice, parsley, bay leaf, paprika and saffron. Pour in the stock and add the peas, bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, over a gentle heat for 12-15 minutes.
After the first phase of cooking, cover the pan tightly, turn the heat to very low and cook for another 12-15 minutes, until the rice is tender, the vegetables are cooked through and all the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from the heat, discard the bay leaf and allow to stand, covered for 10 minutes. Fluff up the rice with a fork and season to taste.
