and so it begins.....

I've done it again.  I've become a member of Slimming World....not for the first time, I hasten to add!
Love food?  Yup thats me!
I joined Slimming World back last year (maybe October time) but for one reason and another didn't stick to it.  I think I might have been a bear in a former life, or some sort of hibernating animal, because I firmly believe my body goes into some kind of survival mode when the nights get darker and all I want to do is eat!  My will power is set to zero and inevitably the pounds pile on.  I get more and more tired and my motivation to exercise is severely lacking and generally I'm an unhealthy mess.

Always my go to meal, a good old grill up!
Another thing that made me want to join a Slimming World group was that I want to make time for myself!  I spend all day cleaning, thinking, doing for other people (not that I begrudge this....its my job as mummy and homemaker after all!) maybe taking an hour out to concentrate on myself is not a bad thing.  The group is a lovely group full of enthusiasm and good ideas as well as recipes that I cant wait to try!  

You can eat all that....every single scrap!
So, turns out I've put on nearly a stone since my wedding last year....which, without going into the finer details, means I have a good three stone to lose.  My first target though is to get back under the stone bracket I'm in right now, which means losing 6lb.  I can so do it!!  I've a few obstacles coming up, my nieces birthday party this weekend, my birthday weekend away the following weekend, meal out with the mums the weekend after....its going to be tough!  Tough, but not impossible so.....wish me luck!!

I'd love to know your favourite Slimming World recipe.  I know lots of you have them!  I'm hoping to share a few on my lil' old blog in the near future as and when I come across them.

Thanks for reading! 

Love Mrs B xx
