CALORIES - THE LITTLE CREATURES WHO SEW YOUR CLOTHES TIGHTER...

Most people start the new year with wanting to loose weight! I for one definitely always have this ambition year after year! Are you also the type of person to say to yourself after Christmas that you want to loose weight? Two years ago I was focused on this subject and I was doing really well... I started calculating the food I ate on MyFitnessPal app, went running a lot and eventually my weight started to fall off me.. I started to feel so much better, I lost 21lbs altogether. I felt so much more confident in myself so I started to set myself more targets to loose more weight. 

You guessed it... like everyone else I went on holidays and enjoyed my self. I ate delicious food and drank too much. Over a period of time the weight started to creep back up. You guessed it, my weight is back to square one!! I once found an ecard which said "CALORIES - the little creatures that go into your closet at night and sew your clothes up tighter" I suffer from this problem so badly.. And I know I'm not alone.

So this week Iv decided to go onto my first proper diet plan ever and joined SLIMMING WORLD! I was sooo excited yet so nervous to walk throught them double doors on my first weigh in. I'm only 4days into this program and I'm loving it... I know Iv not been weighed but I feel so focused after staying for my first meeting and seeing the amazing people who have lost weight. They are great inspiration which gives me even more reason to do this program. 

It does take time to work out the plans, like the A plan and B plan, how many syns are in certain foods and how to maintain a healthy balance. The best thing Iv discovered about this is its a life change not a diet.. So if your on a "diet" and you get stuck with what to cook, then feel free to use the comment box below and share your favourite slimming world recepies with me and everyone else... Happy slimming everyone :-) 

I will re-assure you we did cook ALOT of wedges.. They say you make mistakes as you go along, and I can't cook so it's been a very challenging week. 

The recepie that I want to share with you is this:

 

4 syns (ketchup and Mayo) otherwise free is you don't wish to add this. 

Chicken breast

Madalion bacon

2x light cheese triangles 

Slimming world potato wedges 

coleslaw mix with 2tbs light mayo

3tbs sugar free ketchup 

Cut up the potatoes into a wedge shape, part boiled them for 20mins, then added fry light spray and salt, mixed them up and pop them into the oven for a further 25mins, whilst the potatoes are in the oven grill the chicken for about 25mins, then slice open the chicken and spread your light cheese triangles then place the chicken back under the grill with your bacon. After 5-10mins when both your chicken, bacon and wedges are nice and brown... Taadaaa.. Your dinner is ready to be served.
