30.12.08 - Day 37 Slimming World

Well Christmas has gone and I need to get back on track. It is so difficult considering the kids had been promised a New Year Party and I have nice things to eat. I have decided that for this week I will try not to have syns and use my healthy extras for nice meals. I am on a green day today and would like to have spaghetti bolognaise with real meat so I am going to have to work it all out. I have not had 3 of my healthy extras so far so one can be the spaghetti I think? and one can be the meat? and one can be the olive oil? I hope I am right.

Looking at my weight loss, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. 2.5lbs. I suppose I should have been careful not to put those other 2lbs on otherwise I would have lost 4.5lbs.

Anyway Christmas is over and there are no more occassions coming up. It is going to be new year with a fresh start and I am raring to go.

Well i weighed myself again today and the 3/4 lbs i thought i had put on over christmas have gone. I am the same weight that i was at my weigh in on the 23rd. I am not going to deprive myself new years eve either but i will be carefull. In a weeks time when i go to be weighed i hope to have lost 2/3 lbs and that will be 1 stone altogether. Thats a first!!!! It makes me more determined to go on.

Salma.......2/5 lbs is better than nothing but you are right.its a new year and a new start..no more excuses!
Surely if your on a green day your spagetti is free? Dont put oil when you cook the mince as the meat will have some fat in it which i suggest you drain after cooking.

I had some quorn in the freezer so I decided to use that and make it a free meal. The kids ate it but we all tasted the difference. Real mince is nicer so next time I am going to stick to real mince and no oil.
