Tricky days....

Some days are more tricky than others.... We try to keep to plan but things like weddings and birthdays, holidays and other events get in the way. However I am not beating myself up over it as it is one time, and lets face it unless you know millions of people you will not be going every single day!
I know that you will get told to make good choices and what things could you go for? I have tried that but this plan has to be realistic to you. I try to stay to plan as much as poss then I see dessert or I see that one item I love to eat and that's that but I believe if you tell that little voice in your head its ok Im going to have that but try to bulk up on salad and fruit then go for it. I then feel less stressed by the whole experience.
I have a little holiday break coming up and I'm looking forward to not cooking and enjoying myself! Yes i want to be at target and that wont change. Once I'm back from holiday I'll get back onto plan and no probs.
I'm not a consultant and I don't want to sabotage your thinking, what works for you, works so don't break it!
With Autumn being here I have started making soups and slow cooking recipes. I love the pulled pork recipe and it leaves us with at least 2 days worth. Jacket potatoes are all baked in the oven and frozen ready to heat up alongside it and some speed veg Yummmmmmmmmmm
pulled pork recipe here ot even has a video to show you how easy it is! I will post my butternut squash recipe which is very easy to follow tomorrow.
Half term is coming up fast folks so be prepared ;) well as prepared as anyone can be! Need to keep slow cooker so I can spend a bit more time with my little one and not hear "MUMMMYY I NEEEEEDDD YOUUUUUUUU" around the house.
Anyone got good  slow cooker recipes they like or enjoy with their family???? Please post....

Yummy macaroni cheese

Comfort food is a must in this weather and I'm already craving it in abundance. I love bolognese and chilli con carne and my little person does too. He's not so keen on roasts which I have no idea why that is?!? Our favourite is a good roast with dry roasted potatoes and veg. Both my husband and me love macaroni cheese, I see this as part of my childhood as I used to only get macaroni cheese when my dad went off on work conferences/training around the country. He can't stand cheese (I know strange right?) So here is a yummy macaroni cheese dish, no quark used and lots of veg, its not overly cheesy as I was used to but it satisfys the craving... SERVES 4 Syns 3 syns per person but could add 220g philly and it count as one of your HEA tub of lightest philly 40g lighter cheese, grated 350g macaroni pasta  tomatoes cut in half (as many as you like) cooked carrots, peppers, chopped cooked leeks, cooked broccoli, any speed veg you like a bit of mustard powder (half tspn...

Beginnings....

 OK this is me! I weighed 3 stone more in this first picture than I do now and as you can see I'm not a happy soul. I HATED having any photos taken and yet as a child I would photo bomb before people even knew what that meant! I love breads and sweet desserts I love food and trying new things and I loved going out to eat. Anyone who knows me will know that I cannot make decisions on food and so I will place hands for others to help me choose! I could honestly work my way through a menu. I loved vegetables and thought I was eating healthily but look at me, I wasn't healthy I had asthma problems and back problems.  I also initially got told I could not conceive if I was overweight by the doctor that was investigating me not being able to become pregnant. I was devastated, but then thought hang on bigger ladies get pregnant right? I will show this doctor that's not the problem and prove her wrong!!!! Lots of tests etc later I got told I would never be able to have childre...
