So I have started Slimming World again. The faddyness of Slimfast was not for me and I actually wasn't losing anything and it gave me a terrible tummy ache!
I am a huge fan of Slimming World, I love the variety of foods available and love not having to count and measure.
So my first week has gone, I lost 3.5lbs, that is 1/4 of a stone, I honestly thought I hadn't lost anything as I felt huge, this week is no different! I feel huge again and I fear I may have put on or stayed the same. I get weighed tomorrow but I have been on it 100%. Lets just see what the proper scales say.
I weighed myself on my fab scales again yesterday in the morning, on one part of my bathroom floor I was the same weight as I was last week, then I moved it and I was 1st and a half lighter! I do think it is time to throw the scales away.
So my meals this week have been:
Gammon and Potatoes with brocoli and gravy, mmmmmmmm
Pork Curry with Spinach and rice, yummy!
Chicken Rogan Josh from the curry house with plain rice, I looked it up before hand, 6.5 syns
Roast Chicken with Stuffing (4 syns), Yorkshire Pud (2 syns) and gravy, gorgeous!
Left over Pork Curry.
Tonight I am having whatever is in the fridge/freezer, it is pay day tomorrow and the cupboards are very bare! Probably chicken and salad with Mayo.
Fun fact, did you know that mini milks are only 1.5 syns each? I am stocking up when I go shopping next!

BzzAgent: Taste of India Review
So I have been asked by BzzAgent to sample the new Taste of India range at Tesco.
So on Friday after a very long week and a weekend away looming, I decided that I did not want to cook it was the perfect day to try it out. So these were our choices:
The choice was very disappointing from Tesco Extra - Stevenage. I am not sure if it was the time of the day and stock was low, but only a few shelves were stacked with the products and only a few options, all chicken based were on offer. I have seen that there are beef dishes and we would have loved to sample this. Unfortunately this was not an option.
But enough about the negatives, I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty these dishes were after a quick 18 minutes in the oven. Gave me time to hoover the car out and not have to worry about stirring and properly cooking a meal. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE cooking and making new dishes, especially curries from scratch, but it was a Friday, I had to pack for the weekend and get up early, this was a great easy option.
So we have plated up our dinner:
Yummy it was indeed, it was great to share the different dishes out to taste them all, we probably could have shared a naan bread, but what is a curry without having to undo your top button? They come hand in hand!
There wasn't a lot of spice option and as my partner loves spice, he wasn't too impressed but you cannot ignore that the flavours were there and it was a truly enjoyable meal.
4 stars overall, now Tesco you just need to expand your range!
I look forward to my next review of other products. Please get in contact if there is anything you would like me to review next :)
