Only a half gone this week.

( actually that's a little fib, I had a gain of 7.5 last week so blind weighed and darent look in my book until yesterday, but have had an 8 lb loss week so back on track )

Tip of the week.

Don't slow cook risotto . An absolute disaster .

Well done

I bought a slow cooker...my first, still in the box!

I love my slow cooker. Especially now the weather is getting cooler. I use it most days x

I bought it so I could throw some stew together and cook slowly...comfort food for the winter just like my mother use to make

Awesome idea! Who knew? I will be keto/low carbing when I'm at goal - so that's a great trick to log away. Thank you.

Invested in a stick blender. £5.99 from Argos and seems to work well.

Have made spicy butternut squash and sweet potato soup today.

These amounts made 2 good servings.

500 ml stock ( I used chicken, but veg will work fine)
Half butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and cubed
1 good sized sweet potato peeled and cubed
Handful frozen diced white onion
Pinch chilli flakes
Garlic granules
Salt
Parsley
Frylight

Gently fry the onion, squash and sweet potato for a few minutes
Add the boiling stock and continue simmering until veg is soft

Remove from heat, add seasoning to your taste and zap with the stick blender ( or food processor)

Sprinkle parsley to serve x

I think I'll use a little less chilli flakes next time

Seeing it’s the party season with temptation everywhere... I stayed the same this week.

Seeing it’s the party season with temptation everywhere... I stayed the same this week.

Well done.

I'm increasingly giving in to the temptations this week.

I need to reign it in a bit

It's not easy

I'm feeling determined to be good
