Hi hun! I've been so busy, had no time to track! Haven't always been good this week but managed to lose 1.2lbs and be 10st 12.6lbs, not a huge loss, but still in the right direction!

I realise my past two days have the same menu but I work split shifts on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
I grab something from the freezer that I've previously batch cooked for lunch.
For tea I try and do something in the slow cooker so I can grab it in between shifts, and the soup yesterday was so tasty and a household triumph with everyone loving it, I put more in the slow cooker today!
Oh well, if I stay on track today, I'll have managed my first full week on plan since pre-hols! Hopefully weigh in tomorrow morning will reflect that!

Eek I've been away from this all for too long! I'm planning on a restart from tomorrow! It's half term so can do plenty meals from scratch, plus the weather is lovely so salads making a comeback too!
I've just started my running again and have a 10k race on Sunday 7th April.
That gives me 7 weeks to get back up to race standard and in that time I'd love to lose a stone by then!
Then my next target after that will be the Great North 10k in late July, so probably 15 or 16 weeks in which I am hopeful that I can lose another stone!
Wish me luck on my journey beginning again!

I need to stop eating my tea at 8pm at night, I feel so bleurgh for it! Planning on getting out for a run later!
Oh and just realised I had too many shreddies the last two mornings, thankfully haven't had them yet today! I had 35g instead of 30g, think I messed up the measurement with my porridge! So I'll go and add the extra 5g to my Syns each day! (I make it to be 1 syn extra that I've had each morning)!

 

[Suziesparkles]

Well that's 3 batches of soup on the go, will portion off and freeze later apart from what we're having for tea.
Made double batches (8-9 portions) of curried carrot, bacon & lentil soup and chicken, potato, leek and rice soup. Made a single batch of plain vegetable soup.
Making a double batch of bolognaise to freeze off later as microwaving the last of the previous batch for mine and the kids lunches.
I love the school holidays when I can devote several hours to batch cooking, I find it easier to not go off plan if there's always a home cooked SW meal in the freezer!
