Isn’t it lovely to wake up to a nice sunny, fluffy sky, it
starts the day lovely. Just made me a
cup of tea whilst smiling to myself ;), why because I’ve had a flashback to
last night when I was scolded like a child by my mom (yes I’m still 42!) for
getting my running socks so dirty she can’t get them clean! She was really annoyed with me, and it took
me back to my childhood when we used to get told off for that sort of thing all
the time and I have to admit one of the pleasures of running through muddy
fields for me as a grown up has been that I don’t get told off for it – well that
changed yesterday, although I have to admit it did make me smile whereas as a
kid it didn’t because it scared us back then!
I took full advantage of the football last night and used
the time to go to Morisson’s and get petrol, everywhere was empty it was
lovely, I’m not a sports watcher so I wasn’t missing much. I walked in the shop really hungry though and
all the hot cooked chickens, sausages and gammon joints had been reduced, but I
resisted and instead bought a pack of wafer thin ham and ate it in the car – 150g
= 4pp, that was a huge saving to what I could have had, it also meant I wasn’t
hungry when I did get home so had 5 crackers for another 4pp and was happy with
that. The protein in the ham had filled
me up. I’d also had 2 crumpets for my
breakfast and whilst they were cooking I measured out 2pp worth of flora light
on the scales, I was really surprised when I used as much of it as I wanted to
smoother the crumpets and I still only used half the margarine, so only used
1pp worth. Nice, very nice!
Filling & Healthy
16pp
It’s great to see so many people posting what their cooking
at the moment and in my meeting this week, none cooks are saying they are going
to have a try, Deb (my helper) has even started cooking and she’s been a Weight
Watcher ping queen all through her weight loss journey! So I am truly impressed.
If you fancy having a go and want something super easy that
you know everyone will eat, why not make the juicy beefburgers below, almost
everyone likes burgers and with the weather as unpredictable as it is at the
moment, it’s a bbq indoors!

There’s lots of recipes like this on the Weight Watchers
website, when you get your monthly pass in the meeting (as a lot of you have
this last week by taking advantage of the £11.90 for the first month with a
free magazine and packet of sweets) you gain access to their esource section which
gives you lots of recipes, propoints calculator, recipe builder, tracker and
many other things. It is well worth
giving a go, even if you only do it short term.
Rigth I’m going to take advantage of the sunshine and walk
Alfie for a bit longer than usual, have a wonderful day.
