I have to admit it was an amusing dog walk yesterday as I
tried to think of my top ten foods (not meals that’s a different list!) and I think
this is it;
1. Fried
egg (which I ended up having for my breakfast when I got home)
2. Blue
cheese
3. Black
olives
4. Mashed
potato
5. Melted
grilled cheese.
6. Sainsbury’s
cooked rotisserie chicken
7. Yorkshire
pudding
8. Crusty
white baguette
9. Mushrooms
10. Ham
That’s the list as it stands
today, of course me being fickle that could all change after a walk around the
supermarket. I’ve removed chorizo because
as much as I like it, I wouldn’t put it above some of these things, salted peanuts
almost made the list, there something I love and only have occasionally because
of the salt/fat content but maybe they are something I should treat myself to
more often if they come that high up my list.
This weekends shopping trip will be interesting!
So top ten meals, ooo that’s
even more difficult isn’t it, I know chicken chow mein and egg and chips with
bread and butter and tomato ketchup would definitely be on there, and a roast
chicken dinner. They’d be towards the
top, together with chicken hot pot, 40 cloves of garlic chicken, chicken &
bacon rice casserole, corned beef hash, chicken breast stuffed with blue
cheese, wrapped in parma ham. WOW that
was easy, eight without even thinking about it, they were the first ones that
came to mind. Pepporoni pizza would definitely
make the list and lastly the Sainsbury’s rotisserie chicken with crusty garlic
bread. Yep apparently if you look at
that list I like chicken!
There’s a couple of meals
there I haven’t cooked in a while so I will look into having them soon, I will
also look into trying new recipes to add to my list. I did smile Tuesday night when two members
returned, they hadn’t been for four years and one asked me if I’d learned to
cook yet! This made me realise how far I
have come and how much I have changed. Five
years ago if the instructions on the ready meal said 30 minutes on gas mark 5,
I’d cook it for 15 minutes on gas mark 9 and everything was cooked that way!
Thankfully I decided to try
cooking, using the Weight Watcher cookbooks initially I would make the odd
recipe, I even started cooking in the meeting for the members and now I’m
making my own recipes up! That feels
good, and it’s not just me who’ll eat my food, others do to, so I must be
alright at this cooking lark now.
My favourite Weight Watcher
cook book this year has been the Complete Kitchen, especially as it’s taught me
to make an easy perfect white sauce which I can make lasagne and cauliflower
cheese with. It’s half price too at the
moment!
Sleeping like a brick still,
couldn’t believe it was morning again, and it’s Thursday, so we’ve had ‘Motivation
Monday’, ‘Treat Tuesday’ and ‘Without Wednesday’ what can we do today? ‘Try it Thursday’ that could mean a few
things, it could mean try something new that you’ve never eaten whether that’s an
actual food or just a new recipe, it could mean try a new activity, you can
interpret ‘try it’ anyway you choose.
How about try to track today if you haven’t been doing, or try a meeting
if you’ve not been to Weight Watchers before or for a while. You could try mindfully eating, everything
you eat today, put it on a plate, sit down and focus on it. As it’s Thursday and it’s veering towards the
end of the week I’ll let you decide what try it means for you today.
On that note, I’m off to
make me a cuppa coffee, the tea ain’t working! Ooo that’s a new thing, I never
have coffee for before leaving the house, that’s my first ‘try it’ of the day,
how many can I manage today?
We shall see. x
