I DID REACH TARGET  YAAY!!

I certainly did although this blog doesn't show it, but things got on top of me towards the end of the summer last year, and a lot of things had to give, especially internet time, so I didn't maintain this blog. But this is me at target in the Summer.

So I reached my target of  11 stone (154 lbs) on 2 August 2007.  I was chuffed to bits. However sadly it didn't last, and following a hoilday to France with good home french cooking I gained a few lbs, and as Christmas approached, I was well out of target, and then now we are the other side of Christmas, I am back over that horrible 12 stone again!!

So I am back here again to drown my sorrows and restart my journey. However, the most wonderful thing is, I am a lot lighter than this time last year.

So  December 2006 I weighed 14 stone 6.5lbs (202.5 lbs)
and  December 2007 I  weigh   12 stone 9 lbs   (177 lbs)   

So I should be proud that I actually lost in total 1 stone 11.5 lbs (25.5lbs) last year. I just need to lose another 1 stone 9lbs ( 23 lbs) to get back to target.  Not anything that frightens me particularly, and I know I can do it, so if you are losing weight and want to watch my journey, come and join me.  I get weighed on Thursdays at Slimming World.

I made a gorgeous Potato Gratin dish last night, it's from a SW book, but I adapted it.

Parboil potato wedges, skin on with onion wedges.  Slice a couple of tomatoes, and a few mushrooms.  Pile them all in a shallow baking dish, sprinkle over salt, pepper and garlic granules and pour over a cup of stock (I used a veggie oxo cube - 1.5 syns) I then scattered 28gs of Parmesan and 28 g of Red Leicester over the top (my two A options) and baked in the oven for about half an hour.  The juices in the bottom of the dish were very tasty. Yum.  I shall definately be eating that again.

One thing you need to know about me, is that I always have green days as I am a vegetarian.

I am one of those normal people who tends to weigh myself every morning, and this morning I was looking at about a 3 lb weight loss so far since my last weigh in, so this week is looking good.

Have a good day.
