Slimming World Weigh In #16
It's been an unusual week as this is the first week where I have done all the cooking and shopping. I have also made all the decisions on what we eat. Because my husband is recovering I have been doing everything. I have been shopping which means walking more and on top of all the household chores I have been tending the garden. I mowed the lawn today, the first time in years. In fact Mr P had to tell me how to use the lawn mower as I had never used this one. I have cut down on the gin's too as he isn't drinking at all so I don't enjoy drinking alone. This has cut my Syns so I could use them on something else.
I have had a couple of meals that were not Syn free. Bear visited on Saturday and we had chip shop fish and chips. I just had the fish with mushy peas. I did remove the batter though! I also had a Scotch egg from the deli counter at Waitrose. I ate it before I checked the Syns and it was a scary 16 Syns. Oops! I must check first.
How Am I doing This week?
Wow, wow, wow! I lost 3.5 lbs this week and hit two milestones. I joined Club 10, that mean's I've lost 10% of my body weight. I've also gained the 1.5 stone badge. It is going slowly but steadily and to be honest I am rarely hungry. I do my best to make healthy decisions daily. I decide not to eat cakes, biscuits or pastry. I am over the moon and it has spurred me on. I know I will make my target weight. Onwards and downwards!

I have enjoyed most of my meals this week. I definitely wouldn't spend 16 Syns on a scotch egg again though! My favourite was an adaptation of two of Madhur Jaffrey's recipes. Garlic chicken and spicy cumin vegetables. It isn't a fast meal to make but I loved it.
