SaraC's Pescetarian Diary (SW & WW)

[SaraC]

So as stated above, I had a 5lb gain on the scales on Friday morning, gutted but what can I do? This week I am going to stick to plan 100%, I have planned next weeks meals and done our grocery shop so it's salad for lunch and then a carb based tea (it is * week and I NEED carbs), then next week I am going to do a week of Red Days. I need to get to target, no more messing round for me.

On Friday we invited friends round for dinner & I cooked a 2 course SW meal for them which went down VERY well, 12 months ago I wouldn't have been able to do this, so thanks to SW

Sara, you know that once you're back on plan that 5lbs will just melt away don't be too gutted over it. You were off plan on your holidays and you've enjoyed yourself which is the main thing.

Now it's time to jump back on the wagon and make some of your delicious SW style meals don't worry too much about your gain because we both know it'll be gone soon enough xx

Ahh you sound just like me, but as long as you had a good time and get back on track those pesky lb's should melt away!!

Yeah I am liking the idea of using the slow cooker a lot during the autumn and winter, especially with us working long hours, it will be nice to come home to tea already cooked!!
