Jade's Mission To Get That 'Healthier Me' On EE!

[jade.xoxo]

Hi Everyone! And Welcome To My Food Diary! I'm Jade and here's a bit about me...

I started Slimming World 12th March 2012. I went along with my cousin who had been going for 5 weeks and had already lost nearly a stone! Our family has always been big, myself included. My first weigh-in I was so nervous, but everyone was very welcoming. I weighed in at a hefty 24 stones 5.5 pounds. (Actually less than I anticipated). It's going to be a long journey for me as I'm aiming to lose 14 stone! But I know MiniMins will help me along the way and this food diary will help myself and others to see where I could be going wrong ... or right

I love my food, and I love takeaways (can't beat a large kebab really!), but it's got to the point where I've had enough and especially when I weigh more than my age.. (20 btw ) I want to be able to do what everyone my age is doing, go to the theme park and fit on the rides and go on holiday with my boyfriend without having to buy two airplane tickets just for myself :sigh:

This is the start to a new and healthier me! I WILL DO THIS!!


Progress So Far:
Weigh-ins are on Mondays at 7pm!

Week 1: Lost 11.5 pounds (half a stone)
Week 2: Lost 4 pounds (stone, SOTW, SOTM)
Week 3: Lost 6 pounds! (one and half stone award, SOTW)
Week 4: Lost 5 pounds!
Week 5: Lost 5 pounds! (two stone award, SOTW, bronze body magic)

:wavey: hi I spotted you on Lily's diary, so thought I would see if you had one of your own

well done on your fantastic start on sw, you're doing amazingly well.

Have you thought of maybe searching for chicken kebab recipes for when you're craving one? Am sure you can rustle up a low syn (if not free) one

 

[jade.xoxo]

I've already had that idea! I went in search of a low syn kebab recipe and found a syn free one! I'm going to try it Tuesday when I go shopping next




Heres the recipe in case anyones interested:

Ingredients: Serves 2 (2 syns per person)


For the kebab:


500g extra lean mince (beef or lamb)
1 medium egg, beaten
2 tsp mustard powder
2 tsp schwartz garlic and herb shaker
salt/pepper to season
1 co-op wholemeal pitta bread (HEB)
4 tbsp sweet chilli sauce (1 syn per tbsp)
4 tbsp fat free greek yogurt
1/4 cucumber chopped finely


300g potatoes, cut into wedges, skin on
Salad to serve.


Mix the fat free greek yogurt with the cucumber to make the tzatziki and put in the fridge until needed.


Knead the mince and seasonings and beaten egg until solid and air bubble are gone. Place greaseproof paper in a loaf tin and add the meat mixture, press down to compact mixture.


Bake in a pre-heated oven (200°C) for 10 minutes. Remove from oven take the meat out using the greaseproof paper and turn over, replacing the meat into the tin, sealed side down, and return to the oven for 20 minutes.


Remove from oven and allow to cool to the touch.


Place wedges in the oven, sprayed with fry light and cooke for 20 minutes.


Using a sharp knife, slice very thin bit's of meat off and lay on a baking tray sprayed with fry light. Place baking tray in the oven until lightly browned. Remove and add meat to a wholemeal pitta bread, top with 2 tbsp chilli sauce and 2 tbsp tzatziki.


Serve with the wedges and salad.






I don't like Sweet Chilli Sauce so its perfect for me, can't wait to try it!
