Without the rich
heart, wealth is an ugly beggar. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Midweek already, that’s gone quickly – for me anyway. I gained a pound yesterday at weigh-in = GUTTED! I wasn’t impressed at all, really knocked my neck in and surprised me. Then I thought about it and knew exactly why I’d gained, I may not have drank in the house last week, nor eaten any processed packaged food, I may have treated my body like a shrine but I overloaded that shrine with good foods. Basically I ate too much, even if it’s good stuff, if there’s too much of it, you ain’t gonna lose weight.
So
as my tracking week started Monday, I’m still on track, by the end of Monday I
had 31pp weeklies left. Yesterday looked
like this
1
pint skimmed milk for drinks and cereal = 5pp
50g
bran flakes = 5pp
Lunch
Curry
3pp =
Mushrooms,
Weight Watchers Curry Paste (1pp), tomatoes, spinach, potatoes (2pp)
Poppodum
1pp (ate a few pieces before throwing the rest in bin!)
Banana
Tea
= 7pp
Pastrami
(2pp)
Salad
leaves
Pitta
(4pp)
Cucumber
dip (1pp)
Glass
red wine = 6pp
Total
for day 27pp
Earned
on pedometer 4pp
So 3pp saved to add to my weeklies, giving me 34pp in the bank for later in the week.
I was really pleased with the curry, I had bought a Sainsbury’s meal deal 4 mains and 2 sides for a tenner, but I’ve put them in the freezer for now. The sides were 8pp each and weighed 300g, the curry I made weighed the same for 5pp less and tasted delicious. I might make a chicken version today instead of potato, mmm roll on lunchtime!
It
just proves with a bit of thought you can stay within your ProPoints and make the
plan work for you. I’ve had a large
breakfast again today to see if it makes a difference with my hunger levels
later in the day. I have to say I wasn’t
at all hungry yesterday afternoon or tea time when I got back from work and
that light tea did the job. Tomorrow and
Friday I’ll have 30g instead of 50g and see if it makes a difference.
Here’s
hoping the rain stays away long enough for me to get a run in sometime today, I
know a lot of you read my blog first thing, so if you’re one of them, lets all
have a wicked Wednesday, confuse people by saying “Isn’t it a lovely day” if
they reply no its not it’s raining, just reply “not in my heart its not!”
Just because it’s raining you don’t have to be miserable. Everyday can be seen as a good one, it’s just how you view it, I don’t even notice the weather until it’s pointed out to me.
Here’s
a little bit of my day from yesterday that made me smile, I was looking for my
hairbrush and mom had it, the conversation went like this,
“Mom that's my hairbrush.”
Mom "I'm only borrowing
it"
Me “yeah mom but yr using it on
the dog!!!!”
Xx Enjoy your day – I always do xx

I find that having a bigger breakfast also stops me from picking so much throughout the day
