SealmyLips and get me thin!

[Sealmylips]

Well this is my fourth attempt in the last 10 years at Slimming world. Previously i have done really well, but after having my 2nd baby, leaving work, and having a dreadful 2011 i need to be 4-5 stone lighter. I'm soon to be 30, mummy to two gorgeous children DD 8 and DS nearly 3 and studying from home towards a degree in Criminology and Psychology. OH works from home, and we live on the edge of the Penines / Nth York Dales and have no excuse not to exercise as we have a very energetic 3 yr old female Dally and on top of that the village we live in is steep hills in every direction - i cannot walk to school or the local shop without tackling atleast 2! We moved here last November, and unfortunatley the SW Consultant here just isn't motivating or interesting so i'm trying this from home! I have done it from home before so i know i can do it!

My addictions are WINE, CHEESE, SWEETS AND EATING OUT although i am a good and imaginative cook and as OH is diabetic i always cook from scratch - so i really have no excuse!

Here's the next 2 days planned! I have planned the whole week more or less but cannot be bothered to type it all out in 1 go

HI Kristin, well feel free to do your food diary etc along with me if you like!

When i go out i must admit i generally do not stick to plan as it's a treat and i like to have something i wouldn't usually have at home!

However if i am good i usually opt for Griddled Steak, New Pots and veggies without butter or salad without dressing - or similar with Salmon. And i use my syns for blue cheese topping with steak or peppercorn sauce!

Stir frys are good, Caesar Salads with dressing seperate, Chicken is usually good too - or maybe even a tomato based curry like a Rogan Josh with boiled rice!

Whatever you choose just enjoy your night and don't worry! x x
