All woman!

I spent the whole evening weeping at the Sliiming World national awards ceremony! The losses where over wheleming but every single person was saying things I knew all of my members could relate to. People struggle not just with their physical size but with their health, their family, their jobs and their oh so fragile self confidence - I was simply wrung out with it all :-}

I had the honour of being able to speak to these winners afterwards, all very humble, all very happy and all of whom said "well Food Optimising , that's how I did it along with the amazing support from my group". Sound familiar?

These people are all just regaulr people who attend their grop and are ready to do whatever it takes to succeed. Whatever it takes to be fitter, happier, healthier. Whatever it takes....means being the change.

You've all got what it takes, let it shine and BE THE CHANGE!

Sad old flirt!!!

Yes, that would mean me!!!

The excitment of meeting Mr Vernon Kaye at the Slimming World awards ceremony at the weekend was all too much and I acted like a school girl with a mad crush and have clearly blown my (already non-existent) chances :-)

Good old Vern (a firm 36 years old by the way), he was a total brick with nearly 600 salivating ladies queueing to have a photo and a grope of his bum! Must be black and blue by now! He was charming and oh so lovely with all the on stage finalists.

10/10 from me all around Mr Kaye - you're still on 'my list' ;-)

More about the ball later

Nowhere on earth like it!

Anothe fabulous week at group - I seem to have the best night ever with you guys - goodness you make me laugh, make me cry and I always come home just bursting with pride!! :-)

Another SLimmer of the Month extravaganza - massive congrats to Annette (early session) with a whoppingt 10lbs off in October and with an extra 8ox in the bag, big up to Elaine ( late session winner). What a tremendous acheivement for you both ladies, I'm sure you could hear from the cheers how everyone os just thilled for you!!!

I was particularly happy for Gill (early session) scooping Slimmer of the week with 4lbs off - having confidence in your ability as a slimmer is something that is often hard to learn - you can do it Gill. And what about our new members from last week eh??? Rock and roll chicks!!! 4 out of 9 drooping half a stone on their first weigh in - COOKING ON GAS!!! Goodness I just LOVE food optimising and as for you guys at group......there is nowhere on earth like it :-)

Will fill you in later this week about my possible date with Vernon Kay - not decided what to wear to the ball yet ...get me - Cinderella!!!

See you tomorrow guys

Great gadget!

Just been chopping apples (like you do) and been using my mega apple slicer. It looks like a grapefruit would do if you cut it in half (the blades that is) and you just press it down over the top of a whole apple. It wedges the apple and leaves you with a cylindrical core to chuck out - LOVE IT!! Can also use it to wedge spuds for top SW chips :-)

Saw some really brightly coloured ones on the cooking aisle in Tesco for just a few quid - get yours now :-)

Stay smart over the weekend guys

Bumped into Julie from Eaton Socon group....

And we ended up talking about food of course. Was telling her about the great meal we had at the White Horse last night. Mandy is star having put the healthy eating menu on - all SW syn values are on the menu so you can eat out and slim without any effort at all! Suits me of course :-)

So Julie is telling me about soup she has made and I'm thinking "must share that with the members" Good old Butternut soup :-)
Roast one squash, one red onion and one red pepper sprayed with frylight. I season with salt, pepper and plenty of chilli powder. When it's all roasted, wizz it up with a good pint of chicken stock (made from bovril jar). This is simply yummy and can be frozen too. I like mine pretty thick too but you can add as much stock as you like. I also like mine served with a bit of 0% greek yog stirred in (all swirly and posh of course!) GO ON and give it a go....great way to get some veg in.

Stay fab - BE THE CHANGE!
