First of all, I feel incredibly guilty. I genuinely have not had time to write over the past few weeks! So i’m going to do a very quick update on my first 2 weeks on slimming world after my hugeeeeeeee Christmas gain.

So in my first week i lost a huge 7lb which i was extremely proud of. I have massive gains but massive losses also which obviously evens itself out.

So here are a few of my favourite Slimming World meals over the past few weeks. I’ll link all the recipes underneath.

Sticky Chicken served with basmati rice, peas, sweetcorn and greens.

All my meals have been made from scratch this week which I think has made a huge difference. I’ve found that actually, i really, really enjoy cooking and look forward to planning healthy meals that Sean and I can enjoy. Obviously, a lot of my favourite sweet treats/snacks come at night time in the form of a treat plate! In the past when I have lost weight (or struggled to lose weight) I have binged on a Saturday or Sunday. By binge i mean a full…. on…. binge. I would eat anything and everything in sight until I felt so sick that I couldn’t move. For me it was a release, something to look forward to each week. Now, I know that with slimming world I can have treat plates EVERY NIGHT. This keeps me so much more motivated to stay on track knowing that every single day I can eat chocolate if I wish. Here are a few of my favourite treat plates this week.

Speedy fruit (always)

Special K Chocolate Delight (hexb)

Lemon Fibre One (4)

Mini Randoms (2.5)

Reeses Snack Peanut Butter Cup (4)

Danio Cherry Yoghurt (1.5)

Crunchie Multipack (6.5)

Mini Jellytots (2.5)

Mullerlight Light Coconut Goodies (2.5)

Double Chocolate Hifi Light (3 if you have already have had a hexb) OR (2 bars are a hexb)

In week two I lost 2lb which at first, I was disappointed with as I wanted 2.5lb to take me into the 12s again. However, 9lb down in 2 weeks is still soooo good and I am loving food AND losing weight.

What more could a girl want?

Lots of love,

Kate. xo

P.S. keep going girls, summer will soon be in sight!
