Slim-My-Hips Diary

Hey, today is my first day on slimming world.

I'm nearly 24 from Devon, I'm going to be following extra easy.

So I've planned some meals for the week and I prepared tonight's dinner and breakfast last night. I'm hoping being organised will help

I'm going to be doing it from home. so expect to see me on the syns values section quite often!

I went shopping last night to asda and hopefully got all the correct stuff, so I can get cracking today.

I'm really nervous about getting something wrong and ruining it, so when I worry I can't sleep.


Please feel free to comment. Any hints or tips would be appriciated as I don't have a consultant to be able to ask.

Like I said in my previous post I went shopping last night except one big thing I forgot and that was some frozen veggies! I love fresh but frozen are so easy and convinient plus no prep. So I'll have to add that to the list of stuff I'v got to do today.

Normally I live quite a chilled out lifestyle but today is going to be a busy day. I've got washing and tumble drying to power through plus the hoovering and polishing also got one of the children I nanny for with me today as she isn't at school this week ( her dad is working and she doesn't go back until they asses her learning) when her mum and dads relationship split up she moved away with her brothers and mum and didn't see her for 6 months, now her mum has given them back to there father as she can't cope with them. (I don't want to put names on here as she is a minor but let's call her C) Now C is 12 and will be 13 in may so with everything else going on I'm the only stable female that's in her and her brothers life at the moment ( mum can only visit every few months), so I'm having to pick up certain roles that her mother should be doing (not that her dad can't do these things but there 3 males and her so the testosterone can be overwhelming) with regards to supporting her and answering any girly question's that she feels she can't speak to her dad about.

I love having her at my house, but I'm not used to having any one else around during the day it's gonna be weird for me to try to get everything else done aswell, totally out of my routine and now got to pop into town and pick up veggies!

See the trials and tribulations of my complex little life! (hint of sarcasm or what?) lol

Well after my episode with my OH this morning it put me on a bit of a downer. So I decided to take my mind off it I'd make a massive batch of my tomato sauce, the only thing I had to swap to make it SW friendly was the olive oil and swapped it for fry light. I've made a serious amount because its great for pasta sauce and instant spagbol sauce and great for chilli sauce too as you can just add chilli powder. it's so versatile plus its packed with veggies too so will count towards 1/3 SF.

goona make a batch of spag bol in a bit and freeze it I have loads of time to cook but prefer to batch cook to keep cost low

Gonna finish watching 2 and half men then I'll finish off the chores! yay! lol

Well the chores got finished and even managed a few hours sleep this afternoon, got my SW friendly cottage pie in the oven as we speak an it smells amazing! just aobut to put some veggies on to go with it! I must say I haven't been constantly hungry or constantly thinking about what **** food I can cram down my neck. Feeling really tired tonight, so gonna eat my yummy cottage pie with herb mash and veg and chill!

Well I've woken up this morning with a swollen face, infected throat, infected ear, and a head cold! So I feel like ass to put it mildly. So getting OH to do the housework today.

Gonna relax and get some rest today and recharge and got some anti-biotics from last time I had a throat infection so gonna start on those

I feel so ill im really not hungry at all. I know I need to to eat, but the thought of eating makes my throat hurt. Made my lush chinese veg soup to help me see my self through the poorlyness

I barley managed a yogurt and a banana for breakfast, and thinking about having another yogurt and banana as I haven't had any lunch.
