Don't let your teammates down in any situation. Larry Bird
Hilarious, we get one dry day yesterday and today I wake up to see this notice “
One
of my members was disappointed last night when she gained 1/2lb and I loved
what she said later when we were discussing it, “If I didn’t sulk it would mean
I wasn’t bothered!” Isn’t that the truth, and I know from our chat that she
will lose weight next week and it was just a blip, mother natures fault. She’s right though isn’t she if we weren’t
bothered we wouldn’t be so obsessed with it all, that comment helped me
yesterday realise it is worth the effort.
Another comment from a member last night when I was saying I only had
enough weekly & activity ProPoints left for 1 bottle of wine this week helped
me make the decision not to buy any wine so I can’t drink it, that way I will
get on the scales Monday knowing I’ve stayed on track! It’ll be worth it because like my member
said, it wouldn’t bother me if I didn’t care.
I
have decided to go back to ProPointing though because I’m starting to crave
foods that aren’t on the Filling and Healthy list, I want tinned stewed steak
and onions, potatoes and peas, I want some cheese back in my life, chorizo
oooo, see these foods aren’t highlighted in green and I need them in my life
right now, so if I ProPoint I can include them, I will still add plenty of
F&H foods I will just watch the portion sizes and ProPoint it all.
I’m
going to plan my week of meals to include all the foods I’ve been fancying, and
I’m going to stay on track this weekend because I am bothered. So thank you to my members for helping to
motivate me too – you can’t be a Weight Watcher meeting for motivation, I love
my members.
Today’s
lunch is steak (9pp) and home made 300g chunky chips (6pp), with mushrooms,
roasted tomatoes and green beans, so that’s 15pp spent, take out my milk for
2pp, that leaves me 9pp for breakfast and tea. I’ll probably have a salad for tea or I might
make some soup to balance out my allowance.
I need to go look for ideas in the kitchen later, get the recipe books
out.
As
the weathers going to be rubbish, it isn’t like I’m going to want to go
anywhere in it! So I’m going to be
productive this weekend, do the ironing (boo!) and plan my meals, a domestic
goddess ;-)
I
really do need to write a shopping list, again I forgot tinned pineapple and
spinach, that’s 2 weeks on the trot now, this being middle aged lark really
plays hell with the memory! Hey Ho, can’t
stop time but I can be slim and clueless if I stick to the plan lol.
Oh
I can’t concentrate of blogging, I’m thinking food, just been and got the tin
of Princes stewed steak to check the ProPoints and I’m delighted its only 11pp
for the can, I’ll bulk it out with onions and maybe mushrooms add a couple of
oxo cubes, then serve it with mashed potatoes, peas and carrots, mmm nom nom
nom. That’s tomorrows dinner sorted
then.
I
also found a jar of Moroccan Tagine Sauce – Apricot and coriander in there
which is 12pp, I’m thinking add 2 diced chicken breasts (8pp) and serve with
couscous, that’s another nice meal sorted, think it would split to 3 or 4, we’ll
see.
Ooo
how can anyone not like planning their meals, it’s like getting to eat them
twice, one in your imagination and once for real – I love it. But first to walk the dog in the rain and
also to do the paperwork, plus yet another trip to the vets with a scratchy
dog!
Enjoy
your day, you can’t change the rain so go play in the puddles. x
