Slimming World with Kellie Milngavie & Anniesland

08/07/2026

📅 A busy day ahead!

It was Milngavie group this morning, then it was off to cover the Old Kilpatrick group this evening – so I made sure I planned all of today's meals last night. 💖

Planning ahead is one of the best habits you can build on your weight loss journey. When you know what you're eating, you're less likely to grab convenience foods, it helps you stay in control, saves time, reduces stress, and keeps you focused on your goals. Even spending just 10 minutes each evening planning the next day's meals can make a huge difference.

🍎 Breakfast: Baked apple Skyr, apple, strawberries & banana
🍓 Snack: Slimming World-friendly sponge cake filled with apricots & strawberries
🍔 Lunch: Fakeaway Fish-o-Fillet, chips, tomatoes & cucumber
🍒 Snacks: Cherries & tangerines
🍤 Dinner: King prawn Arrabbiata topped with Parmesan

Remember... failing to plan is often planning to fail. A little preparation today can lead to big results tomorrow! ❤️

🤩Recipe of the Week 🤩

It’s World Chocolate day 🍫 did you know you can lose weight on Slimming Worlds food optimising plan and still eat chocolate.

Chocolate sponge and chocolate custard

Save a space after dinner for our slim-safe take on everyone’s favourite school pud...

🤩Ingredients 🤩

⭐️5 medium eggs, separated
⭐️3 level tbsp sweetener granules
⭐️1 tsp vanilla extract
⭐️60g self-raising flour
⭐️30g cocoa powder
⭐️½ level tsp baking powder
⭐️400g can Ambrosia Chocolate Flavour Devon Custard
⭐️Fresh raspberries, to serve (optional)

🤩Method 🤩

⭐️Preheat your oven to 190°C/fan 170°C/gas 5.

⭐️Line a 20cm x 20cm tin with baking paper. Place a large heatproof bowl over a pan of boiling water, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water, then turn off the heat. Put the egg whites and sweetener into the bowl and beat until they form stiff peaks.

⭐️Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the egg whites, and whisk for 2-3 minutes until thick and glossy. Remove the bowl from the pan and sift in the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Fold them into the eggs using a metal spoon, making sure everything’s well combined.

⭐️Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the sponge is risen and set. Allow it to cool slightly.

⭐️Cut the sponge into 9 equal-size pieces. Meanwhile, heat the custard according to the can instructions. Serve 1 piece of sponge per person and divide over the custard to serve – adding a couple of raspberries to each plate, if you like.

4 Swips per serving
45 minutes
Serves 9

One of my favourite little day-out traditions is buying a magnet wherever we go. 🧲❤️

It might seem like such a small thing, but every magnet tells a story and brings back memories of a fantastic day spent together. Whether it's a family adventure, a weekend away or a spontaneous trip, it's our way of keeping those moments alive.

Not everywhere we visit sells magnets, so when we do find one, it makes it even more special! We have them proudly displayed on our cooker hood in the kitchen, and every single day they remind us of the places we've explored, the laughs we've shared and the memories we've made.

Sometimes it's the simplest traditions that become the most meaningful. ❤️

Does anyone else collect something from their travels or days out? I'd love to hear what your special souvenir is! 😊

Busy day today with a meeting, so breakfast and lunch was while at the meeting, followed by dinner at a local restaurant where I knew I could make Food Optimising-friendly choices. 💖

This is where a little planning and preparation makes all the difference. 📝

✨ Planning ahead means you're less likely to grab the first thing you see when hunger strikes.
✨ Prepping meals and snacks helps keep you on track, even on your busiest days.
✨ Looking at a restaurant menu in advance means you can enjoy eating out without feeling like you're missing out.

🍽 Today's Food Diary

B: 2 x HiFi Bars
L: Asda Middle Eastern Style Salad & cherries
S: Banana, melon & grapes, 3 x Babybel Light and a strawberry & banana Alpro yoghurt
D: Rump steak (fat removed), chicken skewer, jacket potato, salad, coleslaw and peppercorn sauce

Food Optimising isn't about avoiding life or saying no to meals out – it's about making choices that fit your goals while still enjoying yourself.

Life will always be busy. There will always be meetings, family days, holidays and meals out. The secret isn't waiting for life to slow down... it's learning how to make Food Optimising work with your lifestyle.

A little planning today can make a big difference tomorrow. 💕

How do you stay on track when you've got a busy day ahead? 👇

🩸 Pint No. 12 donated! ❤️

Today I donated my 12th pint of blood, and it's a reminder that such a small act of kindness can make a huge difference.

I'm B+, and every donation has the potential to help save or improve the lives of people needing blood after accidents, during surgery, cancer treatment, childbirth, and for those living with blood disorders.

Some amazing benefits of donating blood include:

🩸 You could help save up to three lives with every donation.
❤️ It helps keep hospital blood stocks topped up for when they're needed most.
🩸 Your donation includes a mini health check before you give, checking things like your haemoglobin level, pulse and blood pressure.
❤️ Many donors also say they leave with a real sense of pride, knowing they've done something that costs nothing but a little time.

If you've ever thought about donating, this is your sign. You never know when someone you love might need blood one day.

Who's donated before, or who's thinking about giving it a go? ❤️🩸

A +4.5lb on the scales this morning... and do you know what? It was totally deserved after 7 days off plan! 🤷‍♀️

Do I regret making memories over the first week of the school holidays? Absolutely not. ❤️

What matters now is what I do next... and today I've started exactly where I know I need to be.

✅ Food diary completed.
✅ Back to Food Optimising.
✅ Finishing today on 8.5 SWIPS.

🍓 Breakfast: Blueberry Wheats, vanilla Kvarg, semi-skimmed milk & strawberries.

🥚 Lunch: Ham, cottage cheese, pepper & tomato egg muffins with a melon medley.

🍔 Dinner: Slimming World burgers with cheese, lettuce, onion, gherkins, balsamic glaze, pickles, jalapeños & beetroot.

🍊 Snacks: Prawn cocktail crisps & a tangerine.

One meal, one day, one choice at a time. A gain doesn't define your journey—it simply reminds you to get back to the habits that helped you succeed before.

If you've had a week off plan too, don't wait until Monday... your next meal is the perfect place to start. 💖

Monday's adventure ✨️

Week 2 of the summer holidays is off to a fantastic start! Today I took Curtis along to the Flourishing Faifley Free Family Summer Club, and what a brilliant day it was.

We loved meeting all the animals, and Curtis was so brave holding the snakes and lizard! 🐍🦎 There was plenty to keep us busy with cookie decorating, sticky ball darts, basketball, Nerf gun fun, hammer throwing, and he even enjoyed a free packed lunch to finish off the day.

It's amazing to have free local events like this during the holidays, giving families the chance to make memories together without spending a fortune.

Here's to many more summer adventures over the next few weeks! ☀️❤️

What have you and your little ones been up to so far this summer? 🌻
