Weight loss and Slimming World Style KFC

Hello everyone!

This week I have been on plan and started the gym so I was hoping for a loss.  I lost 2lbs this week which is a good start! I do tend to be a 1-2lb yo-yo loser which is what I am trying to change. 

So this week it's the week before payday so we don't have loads of food but we have vegetables for speed food, meat and we have stuff for lunches.  We are going to fit 3 sessions at the gym in and some extra walks with the dogs.

One of our favorite recipies is KFC style chicken which are free if you use it as your healthy b. Otherwise it's 6 syns.

INGREDIENTS
1 wholemeal roll
2 chicken breasts
1tsp dried oregano
1tsp garlic salt
3 tsp paprika
3 tsp black pepper
Pinch of salt to taste
Lastly.....2 eggs

Use if a food processor.

METHOD
Rip up the rolls and place them in the food processor.

Add the herbs and spices one at a time.

Then whizz to breadcrumbs, you want these to be crumbs but not too fine.

Then cut your chicken breasts into strips.

In a separate bowl whisk your eggs.

Then take a strip of chicken and cover it in egg, then cover the whole strip in breadcrumb mix and place on a baking tray. Repeat until all strips are covered.

Put the strips into the overnight for 20-25 minutes at 180oc.

Then serve with, sw chips, salad or vegetable of your choice. 

Let me know how you got on this week in comments below

How to clean your make up brushes

Hello everyone,

So today I wanted to share with you how I clean my make up brushes. I don't buy expensive brush cleaners or take ages mixing up a potion I use 3 simple ingredients. 

  • Vegetable or Olive oil
  • Washing up liquid
  • Warm Water
So you can choose to use bowls as I did in my video  below or you can do it at the sink, both are effective it is just your personal preference. So do what is easiest for you!


Step 1: Take your chosen oil and pour it into a bowl. Start off with a small amount and add to it as you need to, this will minimise waste. Take your makeup brush and swirl it in the oil.

Step 2: Squeeze out the oil into the sink or into the bowl of warm water. You will see all the colour being pulled out of the brush with the oil. Repeat this until the oil is clear. 

Step 3: Rinse your brush in warm water  until all the oil has gone. If you get to this stage and make up is coming out again, repeat steps 1-3 again. 

Step 4: Lie the brushes on a towl or cloth and leave to dry naturally. 

There you have it a quick and easy way to clean and healthy brushes!

Couch to 5k


Image result for c25k

Hey guys,

Happy Easter! So today I went to Slimming World and had put on 1lb but i'm pleased with that as I have eaten so much chocolate over the past week. I decided when I first started Slimming World that  I would still live life, that means i'll have birthday cake on my birthday and Easter eggs at Easter etc.

I love my Slimming World Group we are a mix of men and women all shapes and sizes and different walks of life. We all celebrate with each other in our losses and comfort each other with the gains and maintains. I really look at them as friends.

This was my first few days of Couch to 5k and I am so glad I started it, I have never gone for a run in my life and I had never had any desire to either. I hate running! I know it has so many health benefits, it also has the ability to relieve stress and give you time to zone out and sort out my mind. I will let you know next Monday when I have done my first week!

Along side C25K I have started some resistance training in the gym to I plan to tone up and build up some strength too.

I am looking forward to sharing my journey with you guys, is anyone else doing C25K or a new fitness plan?

3d Fiberlash mascara

Hello everyone,
Everyone knows the eyes are the window to the soul, so surly framing them and making them a feature is important, right? Well I have always had mascara and used it for occasions and events.
Then I found my 3d Fiberlash Mascara now I can't get enough of it!
With 500 times more volume and length after one coat this is like false lashes or lash extensions for a lot less.
It's also good for your lashes! It lasts all day through wind, rain and even tears.!

Update for 2017

Hi guys,

Soo I know it has been a long time since my last post but so much has gone on.

We have had to put our wedding back to next year and we have re started slimming world.

I have moved offices at work which means I am so much closer to my home so commuting has been cut.

I have started my own business and I am loving it.

So I have so much I want to write about and vlog about so I wanted to pick this back up and start my blog again.

I have decided I need to change my life, I want to be fit, strong and confident.  I am inviting you to join me in my search of weight loss and see how my body changes.

I will share all my wedding plans with you and  show you all my DIY items too.

I am so excited about my business and the amazing products I will share it all with you!!!

I am going to make it manageable and not commit to a blog a day as with everything going on in don't think I will be able to keep up with that. 

Monday will be Slimming World/ Weight Loss/ Fitness Related

Wednesday will be Wedding/ Crafts and Creativity  related

Sunday will be Beauty and Make Up.

I am so glad to be sharing this journey with you all!
