Just got
back from walking Alfie, it’s still very warm, can’t believe it went from the
rain Saturday to that heat yesterday, although being Britain I shouldn’t really
be surprised by the weather.
I’ve not
tracked all weekend and I’m hoping for a stayed the same on the scales, I didn’t
eat a great deal yesterday, I had a very lazy day, had a sandwich for lunch and
an afternoon snooze, the weather wasn’t agreeing with my at all. Today I’ve already got my bottles of water
lined up and my meals planned, back on track, going to have a good week, saving
my weekly allowance as of out for lunch on Friday. Have a cheap week too as it’s my last week as
a self-employed person, I start being an employee from Sunday which means I
have to last until the end August with no wages! This is going to be interesting, so I’m feeling
beans on toast will be high on the menu, but don’t panic I’ve got my supply of
wine tucked under the stairs.
I am putting together some recipes that don’t cost much to make, so if you have any suggestions please email them over, info@happyowls.co.uk and I’ll put together another Bev’s Bites, our charity at the moment is The Teenage Cancer Trust, we’ve raised £60 so far.
According to
the facebook page, some of you did manage to stay on track which is brilliant, Lindsay
opted for a trip over Cannock Chase instead of a BBQ, and Tammy had earnt 33pp
since Wednesday – go girls!
If you have
a monthly pass, did you know you can reset where you are, so if you’re on week
8 and you want to start from scratch you can go back and start at week 1, it
then sends emails relating to that week, as if you’re starting afresh. If you haven’t already invested in a monthly
pass, please give it a go, buy one in your meeting this week for £12.95, that’ll
give you a month to decide if it’s the better option for you. Not only does it save you money but it also
gives you so much more support outside of your weekly meeting, you can track
online, build recipes, there’s a ProPoints calculator too. I use mine daily to find out the ProPoints in
anything, I even have an app on my phone so I can track when I’m out and
about.
So if you
don’t have a monthly pass, make this the week to try it.
It certainly
is salad weather today, and that’s a great way to save ProPoints, some cooked
meat, loads of salad, there are also plenty of low fat dressings out there, I’m
partial to balsamic vinegar too. Don’t
be fooled all salads are low in ProPoints though, this delicious recipe off the
Weight Watchers esource proves that’s not the case;
Salmon and Butterbean Salad
| ProPoints® Value: 13 Servings: 1 Preparation Time: 10 min Cooking Time: 15 min Level of Difficulty: Easy |

If you or the man in your life thinks salads are for softies, think
again. This scrumptious salad ticks all the boxes when it comes to
satisfaction.
