Porky Lights & Comfort Food

So I finally got hold of these Porky Light sausages that everyone is raving about. I even bought 5 packs because of how many people have raved about them... so I was hoping they would be good!
I decided to make Sausage and Mash for tea on Friday night. The total for this entire meal was 1.5 syns (for the sausages at 0.5 syns each) and I'd have thought I was eating full fat, meaty sausages. They were fab! I added some milk from my A choice to my mash and I cooked off some mushrooms and onions with stock and hot water which in turn acted like a gravy. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of them and will definitely be stocking up my freezer!

I then had some more on Saturday morning just to make sure I was sure I liked them obviously... I can't fault them at all I just wish they were a little cheaper. But i'm more than happy to pay £2.25 per 6 sausages if they taste like that!

I may have also then had two on Sunday morning with my cooked breakfast... Definitely a winner in this house!

Christmas Wish

So we got our little baubles last night to help keep us on track. It's completely up to us where we keep it, and I haven't decided yet, but I've taken a photo of it so I can set it as a background on my phone if I want to remind me of why I'm doing this. After my big 7lb loss last night I am now 8lb from target which should be completely doable by Christmas if I keep my mind to it!
What's your Christmas wish??

NEW Slimming World Diary

These are due in group from 20th June or from 29th May with 12 week countdowns!

Super excited!

Too many people charge ridiculous amounts on eBay so glad to see Slimming World have put together an affordable yet really good journal! 

4lb Challenge Result...

Stayed on plan. 

Used my syns wisely. 

Upped my water intake. 

Tried new recipes and was never hungry. Couldn't be happier! 

Here's to another fab week, aiming for 3lb next week!

I'd be totally honest and say I didn't deserve it, if I felt that way. But I've made such good decisions and worked really hard that if I hadn't have got it I would have been gutted! My aim for the week is to mix up my healthy extras again so I'm not having the same everday. I also want to keep up my increased water intake & try some new recipes. So hoping it all works in my favour and I can get the 3lb I want next week while will take me back to where I was a few weeks ago (I lost 8lb in 2 weeks and then gained 8lbs over 3).

I have 4 weigh ins left of my 6 week countdown and then I go to Frankfurt with work, I want to aim to be on the stone mark (or even into the next stone bracket) by then, so from now I need 6lbs. Meaning I need 1.5lbs per week for the next 4 weeks to get it or a little bit more if I'm honest. It's totally do able as I've shown myself this week, I'm just glad that it isn't more so I don't feel as pressured to get it.

Currently 13lbs from target!

Race For Life

Had a fantastic day at Race For Life yesterday, the comparison pic above really shocked me. The left is from the Manchester 10k last year and the right is from today. I actually weighed half a stone LIGHTER on the left hand picture but was obviously carrying it all in the wrong places, whereas now, I seem to have lost the inches where it matters and actually look slimmer than what I am. Anyone else noticed this?

6 Years Apart.

Facebook showed me a photo today from 6 years ago (right) so I took one to compare (left) I'm amazed at how much different my face is. There's only about 1.5stone difference in weight but I barely recognise myself. It just goes to show you don't always need a massive loss to feel more comfortable in your own skin. 

Crustless Quiche & Blancmange.

Yesterday I made both of these. 

Crust less quiche:

6 eggs

1 tub of cottage cheese

Any veg you want just cook it off. 

I used:

Mushrooms

Peppers

Shallots

Tomatoes

Spring onion

Also cooked off some bacon with all fat removed

Then just add all ingredients to a quiche dish or if you don't have one like I didn't, I just used a pie dish. 

Cook for approx 30mins or until golden brown. 

Enjoy. 

As for the blancmange, simply take one of the jelly sachets (I used raspberry) mix with 1/2 pint if boiling water, add two muller lights (I used raspberry & cranberry) and then put in moulds to set. 

So easy and less than half a syn each (I got 4 out of mine)
