The Magic of Fry Light


I am super impressed with these two products - they are really full of flavour and I have found that some of my meals have really been enhanced by them.

I still need to use a few squirts of ordinary Fry Light and then I add a couple of squirts of either the Chilli or Garlic for flavour. They don't seem to be able to pull off cooking without the added help of either the Sunflower or Olive Oil spray (although it could just be that my frying pan is nearing the end of it's life!)

I highly recommend spraying some chips with the garlic oil prior to cooking them... the aroma that drifts from the oven is just divine.

Week 15 - 16 My Birthday!

So this last week saw me celebrating my 30th birthday... And celebrate I did! Below is just a snippet of what I had been indulging in...

 
 
 
 
 
 
I have not held back and had a wonderful time... but Monday I was straight back on it and this week...some how... I was rewarded with a 2.5lb loss!
 
After all of that!
 
Now that Easter and my birthday is out of the way I'm hoping to regain my focus. I've got the odd few events coming up but no long weekends of gluttony!
 
I find it funny now that after a couple of days of trashy eating I can really feel awful. I get bloated, tired and my poor skin... I actually look forward to getting back to eating healthy and the way it makes me feel physically. It used to all be about the numbers on the scales but now it really is about the whole healthy picture.

Week 13 and Week 14

Well... these last two weeks have been pretty horrific weight wise. I just couldn't get my head into it. We were unable to weigh in in week 13 so had a double whammy of naughtiness on Thursday.

It was a big one.

I had gained 8 and a half pounds. In two weeks.

There's a kick up the butt if ever I need one.

13 weeks ago I was at 11 stone 10lb and I'm right back there again.

But the Easter Eggs have gone! I have my birthday in a few days (and that will not be Slimming World friendly) but I am making a huge effort to ensure that I am not writing off the whole week just for a couple of days of celebration.

SO... I have dusted off the walking shoes and have been making the most of the beautiful spring weather we are having!

Today we had a glorious al fresco lunch of Low Fat Chilli Chicken Super Noodles and I used up some onion and peppers to boost the free food.

 
 
Then took a stroll (5 mile walk!) around the beautiful Isle of Portland. It's views like the one below that makes the Body Magic easy. Gorgeous landscape and pretty hilly too so great for toning!

 
 
 
We have booked off next week as holiday as my birthday falls on a Thursday and I plan on having a few cheeky glasses of something in the day time so I've got 2 weeks to lose as much of this 8.5lb as I can.
 
Game on.
