Happy new year all!!
Well I have been horrifically bad over the last two weeks, and i'm completely ashamed of the weight I think I've put on :cry: Having my WI tomorrow and starting afresh from then. I reckon I have EASILY put on the 8lbs that I lost before xmas :sigh:
Never mind though! I'm getting straight back on it as of tomorrow.

We were looking at holidays for the summer time, hoping to go to mexico so that's given me all the motivation I need!! Also joining the gym a new gym at the weekend, it looks fab so looking forward to that too!
I'll report in tomorrow with details of my horrific weight gain!

Here are my short term targets for next week:
1. Drink tonnes of water.
2. Exercise every day, at the very least a walk round the block.

Thanks for the motivation Fuzzy! I've been trying this week just hope it shows on the scales on Friday!!

I know I'm really looking forward to getting to the gym, I quit mine when we moved out here last Dec and never got round to joining a local one. This new one we are going to looks fab so quite excited about it. If I'm honest, I think I'm looking forward to the sauna and jacuzzi most tho, ha!!

Here is the soup recipe;

Ingredients:
2 teaspoons low fat marg
1 large onion, chopped
270g brocolli (or cauliflower)
2 cubes veg stock, dissolved in 900ml boiling water
120g cheese, soft, medium fat
60g stilton
2 teaspoons chives, fresh
1 pinch salt to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1. Melt the marg in a large saucepan and saute the onions for about 3 mins until soft.
2. Add brocolli and stock and bring to boil, cover and cook for 15mins on a low heat or until brocolli is tender.
3. Transfer to liquidiser and blend for 15 seconds. Add the blue cheese and soft cheese and blend for a few more seconds until smooth. Return to saucepan and season to taste.


I didn't use any chives or salt or pepper and its delicious! Enjoy!!
