Consult not your fears but your
hopes and dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled
potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with
what is still possible for you to do.

What would we do with all that
spare time if we weren’t thinking and talking about food and dieting? Just a thought that went through my head
yesterday when my mate asked me what I’d got for my dinner. Obviously it consumers more of my day than
most but I think even a none Weight Watcher leader spends a great deal of time
with their attention on the subject.
This week I’m hungry, I think its
hormonal or it could be the damn weather, who knows but I’m hungry, not just
craving because I’m happy to have proper food, not just something nice, so
today I’m going to look for some low ProPointed filling ideas to fill me
up. The obvious is soup, yeah will go
buy broccoli and make some soup. Maybe a
stir fry, that’s low, yesterday I roasted sliced courgettes, peppers, onions,
carrots, cherry tomatoes and two large Portobello mushrooms, that filled me up,
I had it with mixed grains bulger wheat, quinoa with lentils & soya
flakes, it was in a microwave pouch made my Merchant Gourmet, 7pp per serving,
not cheap at just under £2 but it was very tasty and very nutritious too.I could make a low ProPointed vegetable curry using the Weight curry paste pots, there is a video on my fb page, 250g butternut squash, curry paste pot and WW oil spray, that looks nice for 1pp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ9qshok_Ew&feature=youtu.be
Or maybe coronation chicken kebabs using one of those
pots and a bit of Greek yogurt, mmm I’m getting hungry now!
I might buy a bowl of ready-made salad for quickness too,
today and tomorrow are my busy days and I’m in Crewe on Friday at a meeting so
it’ll be a crazy rush.
Just looking through my Happy Owls recipes I’ve found
this one http://www.happyowls.co.uk/fruitymasala.html
and realised if I change the paste for a WW pot, I’d save 6pp per recipe, so
that would take it down 4pp a portion, which is good for a chicken curry dish.
Yes there are low ProPointed dishes I can find, if you
have any to share, email me or post on our fb page, it’s great to have variety
and ideas.
This one’s really tasty for 6pp too, http://www.happyowls.co.uk/LeekMustardBake.html
Yes with a bit of thought, I can increase the portion
sizes and reduce the ProPoints in the meals I’m eating to sort out this hunger
I’m experiencing at the moment. It just comes down to a bit of thought and
planning and effort, three things that go a long way to helping you
succeed.
Oh and one last thing – stop jumping on your bathroom
scales every morning it will drive you insane if you’re looking for weight
loss! Bodies fluctuate, I test my
meeting scales every morning to ensure they’re working and all weigh the same,
on Monday I’d gained a pound, on Tuesday I’d gained another two pounds, by
Friday I’ve have lost them, my body weighs different every day, that’s why I
only record my Monday morning weight which I take at the same time each week. If you have scales in your house, donate them
to the local charity shop, or better still take them up the garden and smash
them to pieces – very therapeutic ;-)
Get weighed once a week in your meeting, it’s more than enough.
Right I’m off to walk the dog in the rain again, wonderful
weather for ducks as my mom would say.
