Is that the syn free onion chutney? I think it's FAB! Especially for someone like me who doesn't like particularly 'dry' food and prefers a blob of one sauce or other with everything!
It keeps for weeks too. I love it for brekkie with scrambled eggs yum. Going to make another batch tomorrow after a nice big aldi shop for cheap red onions and balsamic vinegar.
Got some chorizo too so I'm quite fancying trying that chorizo pasta...

Morning All!!!
I am starting Zumba on Tuesday night eek! my friend (who is on the large side herself) assures me I will be able to keep up, she says its her "Girls Night Out" she loves it - am going with my super skinny friend - so my question is what on earth do you wear to a zumba class?
Right off to start my exercises ...

I think its the same Sarah - although you just use 5 onions rather than 1.5 - if only tears were fat - I would have cried about a stone away lol. It was lovely over my jacket spud and I am thinking next time I go to Farm Shop grabbing some mangos and making a mango version - I love mango chutney and I am missing it big time!
Can you do your whole shop in Aldi? I went once but Paul was in a mood and sat in car so I was obliged to be "quick"

Morning Donna!
How are you doing?
I've been doing Bokwa classes (v similar to Zumba) and really you just wear stuff you feel comfy in.
I would advise a decent pair of trainers though (to support your legs / ankles etc) but to be honest any will do. Then I just wear trackies or leggings and a short sleeved tshirt or a vest - normally tshirt though as it covers my arms up more haha - nothing fancy is required!! HTH xx
Oh and if you have long hair, defo tie it back and make sure its all off your face as you do get your sweat on! On my first sesh I had my hair all stuck to my face it was not a good look haha!! X

Aldi's is amazingly good value - especially the 39p veggie offers!
I think I should try and do most of my shop there
Good luck Donna on the zumba and well done on the plank!!

Hey hon
Sorry for the radio silence, where's that naughty step at please?! Forgive me Donna for I have synned! Friday and Saturday were naughty. Yesterday I was good though, I even took the skin off from my chicken post cooking, usually wild horses couldn't drag me away from the lure of cooked chicken skin! Anyway, full run down of my naughtiness will be on my Food Diary shortly.
Good for you to up your exercise - I am going to do more with myself, I know I can, I can just never be bothered. After being out of the house all day 5 days a week, its the last thing I want to do, but other people do it, and they do it with children and households to run - I can bloody do it too!
I used to go to Zumba - I loved it, in fact I might just start going again. What to wear? Well I wore a t-shirt/vest and trakkie bottoms, you will sweat your ass off - I usually took a bottle of water and a small towel to mop up sweat in between songs. Its a great way of losing weight, if you like a good boogie, you will love this.
I need that onion marmalade recipe please!
What are these phone workouts?
I am defo up for meeting up, I will PM you my mobile number. I can't do this weekend or next, but should be free the following week. Lets play it by ear shall we?
Keep it up Donna, you are doing so well, if you don't lose this week I will eat my hat!

Hey hun, was it the WW Frozen Shep Pie made with lamb? If so its 4.5 - was it any good? I am not a ready meal person but I was thinking of getting some to keep in my freezer just in case. The portion size makes me sad though!!!

Hi Donna,
Hope you're doing well!!
you eat SUCH lovely sounding food, it really makes me think I need to mix up my evening meals a bit... But when I get in from work at 9:30 pm I just want something quick and easy... Lazy I know
Your weight loss is fantastic so far by the way, inspiration!!
