i usually keep some ham slices, cold chicken and cooked low syn sausages in the fridge to grab if i'm in a hurry i'm the same with carbs really, i love em! try to use my hexb's on a red day for potatoes or pasta as i feel abit lost just having meat and veg or salad lol. hard boiled eggs are another good thing you can just grab if you're in a hurry - provided you're already done them good luck! x

[graciebabes]

No problem! Ellebear does a lot of red days too if you do a search on here she has some good ideas x

after some thought and consideration I've decided to have a little while doing weight watchers pro points again just up until my holiday.. think this will help me avoid the bingeing I have encountered recently! will start later in the week once i have eaten all the bolognese sauce i made for this week

 

[graciebabes]

Right back to slimming world ladies! Not sure if anyone still subscribes to this diary (or ever did lol) but I'm back doing slimming world for a little while at least. Not losing quick enough on weight watchers and getting a bit bored of pointing so back to what I know works! Wish me luuuccckkkkk x

It is difficult to do SW on a budget.. But I've found buying tinned and frozen veg is a good way to save never used to be honest about it when I'd been off plan but did it for so long without getting anywhere, so thought it was best to admit all as I was only cheating myself xx
