I had the pleasure of running the Slimming World Cobh group today while their new forever consultant Mary prepares to take on the group in 2 weeks. Here is a fab post from her - a great share Mary! 🙏💜👏

It came up in group this morning about portion sizes for potato’s , pasta rice etc .
See my photo of tonight’s dinner , chili con carne.
Even though there are onions and peppers in the meat sauce , I always find it helpful to add a third of a plate of extra veg to these meals .
Tonight’s were tender stem broccoli and green beans .
If these go on the plate first , it prevents you from overloading with either the rice or meat sauce , even tho both are free , they are not speed , like the beans and broccoli, which really help boost your weight loss .

🌸 A busy day of cooking and eating healthy yesterday after an indulgent few days 💕 Learning so much lately about the power of vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, healthy fats, herbs n spices, fermented foods, protein, fibre etc. and movement! All this is so important for optimum health and we are discovering this every week in Skibbereen and Bantry Slimming World👌 Reach out if you would like any of the following recipes.
🌸 Made lentil wraps again - need a good non stick frying pan for this to avoid frying with lots of oil!
🌸 Trying my hand at making sauerkraut- added some seeds for flavour - hopefully in 2 weeks it will be good!
🌸This bean sprouter was one of the best presents I ever received from a sweet soul 25 years ago! Soon to be mung bean sprouts - so healthy!
🌸First time making my own tahini! Surprisingly simple thanks to a food processor and so much cheaper & tastier than the shops! (Toasted the sesame seeds and added sea salt)
🌸 delicious hearty carrot, lentil, curry and coriander soup - ingredients will be the raffle prize in Skibbereen Slimming World this week.
🌸 Made lovely falafels with brown rice - gorgeous in a lentil or any wrap 🙌
🌸 my mum is playing tennis for Ireland in Croatia this week - over 75s - we are all so proud and delighted for her 👌💪
🌸 meanwhile me and my favourite new move - yoga is my medicine 💜

So proud of my incredible mum Freda who is off to play for Ireland in the over 75 tennis world masters team championships in Croatia this weekend. 😍👏🎾💜💪

Excited for our Slimming World sessions tomorrow when the new bar apple crumble & custard will be available. The raffle prize will be the ingredients for my take on this low calorie apple crumble style desert which was delicious 🙌😋 However I discovered after purchasing that the skyr vanilla yogurt was higher in calories than I realised so this will have to be used sparingly! A good reminder to always carefully check before putting it in the basket 👌

Today’s meal prep! 😅 I have a full house at the moment so it’s really nice to be cooking big dinners for a change 🥰

😋 We are big sushi fans, couldn’t have a healthier lunch full of nutrients. First soup of
the season - with a big hunk of my favourite roquefott cheese in it (to mask all that spinach and cavalo nero) 😆

😋 First time ever cooking with celeriac - surprisingly rich in things like vitamin k and c and lots of health benefits - cooked
and mashed with the potatoes. First time also cooking with quorn. My daughter wasn’t a fan. Enough said 😆

😋 Overnight chia seed pudding with quark and frozen berries and some delightful passion fruit 😍 Cant wait to have this for breakfast tomorrow. 🙏✨
All this and more is possible as part of Slimming World’s healthy eating plan 🙌 It is customisable to you and your family’s preferences 💕

Guess who reached her target weight today?! 😍😍😍There is so much I could say about this but for now I will keep it brief and say I definitely went the scenic route losing this last half a stone to get to my final
target but so glad I persevered! I will be able
to relate to and help anyone who wants to shed the last few pounds as they can be the most difficult of all. Consistency and perseverance was needed these last few weeks and I am now at a weight I haven’t been at since in my teens and all approaching 49 in perimenopause! I don’t think I really believed that was possible for me but here I am, having learned so many sustainable, healthy lifestyle changes thanks to Slimming World 🙏 I still get to enjoy myself, indulge and have fun - with all things far more in moderation than they were a few years ago - which is a good thing really! It’s not easy etc and it means some difficult changes and confronting emotions but all worthwhile. Phew! 😅 The best part is the great fun, support and connections going on with the Skibbereen (and now Bantry too) Slimming World members and everything that we are learning and achieving along the way 🙏🙏🙏
