Forbidden fruit creates many jams.
What a day yesterday was, it’s such a busy
day for me but if you
were my meeting earlier this week you would have heard me talk about how I
planned to buy a crusty cob, take the middle out and fill it with salad and a Birds
Eye fish in breadcrumbs so that it was like a ‘filet of fish’ from MacDonalds
but better. I haven’t had time to get
round to it so yesterday I was a little ahead of my schedule so I went to Asda after
checking their website for opening tmes at 7ish to get the cob, but they
informed me they didn’t open till half past regardless of what their website
said! So I went to work and popped into Co-op
on the way home and found a crusty baguette that said it weighed 200g. I was chuffed, even though it cost me £40 because
mom followed me in and kept picking things up – it’s surprising what an old
lady without her purse can get in someone else’s basket!
I got home
weighed and pointed it the bread roll – 200g = 15pp, removed the bread out of
the middle and weighed again now only 9pp, told mom she could have the middle
for the birds because I hadn’t got the time or the eggs to make savoury bread
pudding with it as planned previously.
Put my fish in oven, my mushrooms on the top in a frying pan and went
upstairs to turn my computer on. Came
down, looked at the chopping board and my baguette had gone, I froze, I knew
what had happened, I turned round almost in slow motion to look out of the window
to see my mom stood outside tearing it up onto the bird table! I couldn’t believe it, I shouted through the
window “what are you doing?” that’s my lunch, mom – “you said you couldn’t use
it cos you hadn’t got the time or the eggs, I thought it’s a bit of a waste of
money”. Bless her she then started
scooping it up off the table telling me it’d be okay!
I ended up
having Warbutons sandwich thins – hey ho, it saved me 3pp! It also made me realise we put far too much
emphasis on food, I was devastated if I’m honest, I sat eating my lunch
absolutely gutted it wasn’t my hollowed out baguette but laughing everytime I
thought about it. The four images on her
are going to be my screensaver to remind me there’s more important things in
life than food!
Great weight
loss in meetings this week 662lb, that’s over 47 stone and I’ve really enjoyed
the meetings this week, I have a feeling that weight loss will be higher next
week because of the honesty of the talk this week, a lot of us have realised we
have the balance wrong on our intake.
I wished
those that don’t stay would because it really does make a difference, I know
some of you have been attending a good while and understand the programme but
Weight Watchers works because of the group support and even me as the leader
learns something every week from my members.
Those that stay lose more weight – FACT!
It’s Friday
and I can’t wait to pick my mate up and go have fun, just a little bit of
paperwork to do, then let’s the fun commence.
Hope you get
to your weekend as soon as possible, remember weekends aren’t just about eating
and drinking, they’re about laughing and living. Xx
