Well I was full of energy yesterday, sure does make a difference to your energy levels eating the right food! I spent a few hours in the kitchen, all the recipes were from the new Weight Watchers Seriously Satisfying cook book., made the most delicious dish, “spiced beef sarb” (page 72) , it’s not too hot or spicy just flavoursome and delicious and I’m going to cook it again today and freeze some, might try it with turkey mince and save a few ProPoints and I will serve it with Roasted Butternut squash in the week.
I’ve just checked mince and the different ProPoints,
Beef 100g = 6
Beef (extra lean) 100g = 4
Turkey 100g = 3
Quorn 100g = 2
Soya 100g = 2
The quick beef stew on page 106 is now in the freezer ready for next week. I also made that cottage pie recipe I posted the other day, but I had to add an extra stock cube to give it a bit more flavour.
As I enjoyed myself and I’ve got some filo pastry left I’m going to spend a couple of hours again and fill my freezer so I don’t have to cook much before Christmas.
I also took mom and Alfie for a walk; the ice has finally gone from everywhere, thank goodness so we might venture over Cannock Chase today. A brisk walk is an easy way of earning extra Pro Points, my pedometer tells me everyday that I’m earning between 3 and 10 additional Pro Points which at this time of year more than any other when I want to eat big plates of Beef & Ale pie, I can go have a second helping because of that extra walking I did.
Are you active at the moment or has hibernation set in because of the dark nights and cold weather? There is always something you can do to keep active, it’s just finding something you enjoy, whether that’s dancing round the living room or joining a Zumba class.
Don’t forget you’ve got that weekly ProPoints allowance of 49 but it’s not a never-ending allowance so if you need a few more, then you need to move a bit more!
Have a super Sunday xx
