Gooood morning everyone! Happy hump day, god this week is dragging in!

I had such a good sleep last night, I didn't want to move this morning. But anyway, it's the start to a brand new Slimming World week and I'm determind to shift this last 4lb as quick as I can, eeekk!! Can't wait to get to target, and I'll get my 8 stone award at the same time. It's mind boggling like, how I can go from a size 24 to a current size 12 just by food optimising.

Anyway, today I'm having a red day because I have some cooked meat that needs used by tomorrow so I'm going to munch on that today.

Oh and I'm off to Step & Tone tonight then I'll be helping my friend Naomi move a few bits into her new house :)

Goood morning everyone! It's nearly Friday, one more day left until the weekend, whoop!

So yesterday turned out to be an Extra Easy day, I had totally forgot about my HExB until last night and because I was hungry a cereal / Hi-Fi bar wouldn't have filled me up, so I had a bowl of porridge and banana. It was sooo nice. I also tried one of the Kerry Lowlow frozen ready meals for tea. I had chicken & tomato pasta with was only 2.5syns and it was really filling! I'll having one of those again.

So anyway, onto today - I've got a busy day at work then I'm off to Kettlebells tonight.

The Low Low meals are good aren't they, Emma? I had the sweet and sour chicken with rice one day last week and it was gorgeous! That one was only 2.5 Syns too! I've got the pasta one you mentioned in the freezer and also the chicken tikka one which I've taken to Warrens for case of emergencies lol! Love 'em, they're so handy.

Food is looking good. You're really loving your Red days now aren't you :D

Have a great day xx
 
OMG Stevie, yeah it was really nice. I only picked it up because I was in a rush and I've had the Lowlow spread before and liked that, so thought I'd give it a go. I was really surprised when I looked at it was only 2.5syns! They're very handy to have. Think I'll go back to Asda and pick up another and maybe the sweet and sour chicken as well :)
I used to live on ready meals before I started SW, I definitely couldn't go back and do that again!

I absolutely love red days, but I love carbs as well, especially seens as though I've only recently discovered SW chips :giggle: - I might change today to an EE day actually because I quite fancy chips now with my salad lol.
 
These low low meals sound fab! Going to keep my eye out for them.
I'm getting a right little shopping list going off mini's at the moment.
 
Afternoon Emma :p, hope you have a fab day hun. Your foodage looks fab. I'm loving the sound of the low low meals, defo adding those to my shopping list. I like a lot of the stuff you recommend. I bought the salted caramel green tea from Tesco - loved it ! I'm also going to try the chicken and mango plus noodle salad you had from Asda, so low in syns and sounded fab. I bought the new garlic frylight spray from Tesco, made some roasted veggies with it the other day, was lovely :) xx
 
Hey that's what Mini's is about, sharing your food ideas / buys :) I really do recommend those Lowlow meals though they're going to come in handy for me when I don't have time to make anything.

So I've changed today to an Extra Easy day lol. I'm having chips with my salad tonight & I'm going to syn a Weetabix Oaty bar. I still can't believe they're only 3.5syns! Definitely worth it :)
 
If you say had a weetabix bar and a salted caramel bar on an extra easy day. How many syns would you count....? Lol

Good morning everyone! Thank god it's Friday!!! This week has proper dragged in like.

Not alot to report today, I'm proper loving having Extra Easy days though, so I'm having another one today & tomorrow.

I'm off to Carlys tonight so tea will either be a takeaway or I might be organised & take a chilli chicken salad bowl with me and some chicken fillets, I dunno. We'll see how I feel later. And then tomorrow I'm going out for a girlie afternoon with my Mam, sister, neice & Nana, so seen as though we'll be going out for dinner I thought it would be best to stick with EE so that I had more of a choice to chose from. I'm thinking a nice big jacket tatie. Yum!
