Posted by Squidge is eight weeks old in a couple of days. He’s still only very young but the fact is that I can’t put off my weight loss plan any longer. We fly to Florida next spring for the kids’ first holiday abroad and I don’t want to be body conscious, I want to enjoy every moment.
Have you met Squidge yet? He’s a cutie!
Also, my sister gets married next July and I am honoured to have been asked to be their bridesmaid. I really would like to feel beautiful on that day, because at 35 it will be the last time I am in anyone’s bridal party until I am the mother of the groom!
Slimming World is the only way I’ve ever managed to lose weight healthily and keep it off. I never got to target though so this is like a continuation of an interrupted journey for me.
So this week my meal plan looks something like this:
Breakfasts
Overnight Oats
Weetabix and bananas
Scrambled egg on toast
Fruit and yogurt
Bacon, egg, beans and mushrooms
Lunches
Mug shot
Mackerel on toast
Jacket potato with beans
Pasta in Sauce
Stir fry
Main meals
Spaghetti bolognese
Sausage casserole and baked potato
Chicken curry and rice
Shepherds pie and vegetables
Gammon, egg and chips
Sea Bass, potatoes and vegetables
Chicken and bacon pasta
I never stick to my meal plan 100% so I know there will be some variation on this by the time next week rolls around, but hopefully there will have been more good days than bad and I can report a weight loss!
Thanks to Sim’s Life for giving me the nudge I needed to really set my mind to getting back on track. Read other bloggers’ health and weight loss posts on Sim’s Weight Loss Wednesday linky. Just click on the scales!
I love slimming world 🙂 I managed to loose a stone- which was all I needed to loose . But I need to get back on plan ASAP !
Ooh Eric is just so cute – I am desperate to meet him in the flesh. I found overnight oats brilliant for keeping the hunger pangs away. #ShareFriday
Great meal ideas. I don’t think I could ever be this organised x
I really need to crack on with the weight loss plans. I managed to avoid gaining much during pregnancy but spent the last 8 months piling it on instead
I like your plan and all your meals. I never thought of the bridal party thing but you’re right. I think the next time I’ll be in a bridal party is when I’m mother of the groom.

Good luck 🙂
Good luck with the plan! Eric is gorgeous 🙂
I need to start meal planning. I actually forgot to eat lunch on Friday and onky realises when I felt ill! Mug shots are nice and easy aren’t they?
Good luck with week 1. Your meal plan looks varied so hopefully there will be enough to keep you interested. I look forward to seeing how you get on in the coming weeks!
Ah he’s beautiful! I hope its going well for you Karen, but don’t be too hard on yourself. you just grew a human after all xx x
I’m on slimming world and also meal planning and so I’m so glad to find your blog as it’ll be great to cheer each other on. Good luck!
Good luck! I’m meant to be at Slimming World myself but being very slack of late.

Oh he IS a cutie, isn’t he 🙂 I also try to stick to Slimming World foods…really needing to get back on it right now and power through, hence why I thought posting meal plans would help. We eat very similarly!
Good luck with Slimming World. I registered with a group last Friday too. Your meal plan sounds lovely x #mealplanningmonday
Ohhhh I am a huge fan of Seabass – that actually sounds like a really good selection of meals! Slimming World always amazes me with what you can actually eat, it doesn’t seem like a diet at all but certainly works! You looked fab when I saw you yesterday love – having incentives such as the holiday and being bridesmaid will definitely spur you on! Awww baby Eric is so cute, we need to arrange a cuddle-fest and then we can chat diets too! 😉 Thank you for linking up last week my love and hope you can join in again with #WeightLossWednesday this week! Sim xx
Eric is such a cutie!! Good luck with your weight loss, I hope that having the meal plan written down helps you stick to it x
