And now the good bit......Maintaining!

Just finding diaries :) not had a look about the forum in ages! X
 
Oh dear Sunday was a right off AGAIN as had a few vinos, but its done now and back on plan as of yesterday. Im going to be doing EE from now on with an extra HexB, as it worked well for me a few months ago as I lost steadily following it, but I will keep an eye daily I think to see if it is working. Big monthly WI tomorrow and dont think it will be a good one as June was a bit of a naughty month, but as long as I dont see 9 stone I'll be happy. Looking thru other posters who have hit target, it does seem to take a while to adjust, but dont think it being summer helps as we're all a bit more social and temptation is too enticing!

Quite a good day for me yesterday on the food front, as I was a wee bit woolly afetr the vino, but did stick to plan with just a few extra syns!

Good luck for you WI tomorrow :) sounds like a nice weekend, hope you're getting some sun! xx
 
Okey dokey, must seriously behave myself from now on and no more vino or off plan days. Monthly WI has given me a +3.5lb gain and weighing in at 8st 13.5lbs!!! Just scraped thru not seeing the 9's again by half a pound, so thats 6.5lbs from my target weight of 8st 7lbs! Monthly WI's are stopping for a bit and will be back to weekly from now on, as I WILL NOT let this get out of hand. I knew June would be a hard month as hubby was on leave for half of it, but I've obviously done some damage limitation by sticking on plan for the other half!
I've got 7 weeks 2 days or 51 days before I go to London for the weekend and then have a week away somewhere, so Operation Shift The Poundage starts today!

2oz up on yesterday, but still happy I'm in the 8.11's!
Another EE day today, but not sure about having the extra hexb, cos if I'm not having a sandwich for lunch I find I dont need/want to have it. So I'm not going to eat it just for the sake of it. No breakfast again as got up late which I hate, but I will stay up late watching Criminal Minds!
Am going to count weekly syns again from today, as my official WI day is a Friday.

Yes its a gammon joint thats cooked in the slow cooker, but you can always boil or roast it if you haven't got a slow cooker. Try not to overcook it cos otherwise it falls to bits!
You can always make your own coleslaw to save on syns. I make it with extra light mayonnaise, so only 0.5 syns per tablespoon x
 
Mmm what's in the peanut butter curry that sounds nice I love both curry and peanut butter!

Glad you stayed in the stone zone and as you say some months are just busier than others, life happens and I am sure you will get back on track right away as always x
 
Go to minimins.com then slimming world then slimming world recipes then Pete's recipe book.
Index on page 74.
You will find a SW version of the peanut butter curry on there.
I have it every week!

Its a gorgeous curry Laura and can easily be adapted for a veggie version, with either just veggies or Quorn pieces, or both.

5Another hot day here today so must get out and get some rays, as spent all day yesterday watching the tennis!
Feel very bloated today as my rings are tight and these painkillers are palying havoc with my digestion, even tho I'm taking drugs to counteract the effects of them, hence the 1.25lbs gain overnight. Next official WI will be next Friday, so hope to have lost at least a pound by then!
