17th December 2012
Not long now, this time next week
will be Christmas eve and I’ll be putting in place my treasure hunt for the
kids, will soon be here, but first to enjoy my last week at work of 2012.
I had a semi-healthy day
yesterday food wise, started with oats, sultanas and sunflower seeds for 7pp
then for lunch had a healthy lamb (cooked on George Foreman) pitta with chopped
salad and mint and low fat mayo sauce for 8pp.
I also made a veggie couscous,
stir fried carrot, courgette, mushrooms, pepper, spring onions, sultanas and
garlic then added to the couscous which I’d also added a stock cube too, very
nice it was too.
I did indulge in my first mince
pie of the year thanks to my mate Katie who bought a plate of hot ones round at
tea time!
So what bought on the drastic
change in the quality foods? Watching my
mom suffer when she got up that morning that’s what, the effect certain foods
have on her quality of sleep and how she feels.
If both of us eating differently will make her feel better than how she
did yesterday morning then that’s what we’ll do!
I went shopping as soon as the
shops were open, bought lots of fruit and veggies, bought some fresh salmon as
it’s on half price offer in Sainsbury’s so that’s today’s main meal, it’s
lovely looking in my freshly stocked fridge and it’s great seeing mom eat
again, especially as it’s the right foods.
Mom also came out for a short
walk with me and Alfie on the afternoon to feed the ducks, it was lovely to see
her out and about this weekend, even if it wasn’t walking far, if she wasn’t
such a stubborn old sod she’d let me get a wheelchair so that we could go out
and about places and she’d be able to come too, we’d have a ball racing around
and ‘beeping’ folks out of the way!
Looking forward to my meetings
this week, I have my Santa hat and I’m ready to encourage my members to have a
great Christmas and to think wisely about what they indulge in and the results
it’ll show on the scales!
I shall be starting my day with a
bowl of oats again, I’ve bought some nice honey yogurt to go with it too, I’m
thinking salmon with couscous for main meal and I defrosted some turkey breast
pieces yesterday so I will make a curry with them which can either be had today
or tomorrow. Mmm I likes cooking again
this week, haven’t been fussed the last few weeks but it’s returned, my love of
good food. I’m going to attempt to cook broccoli
so it tastes as good as it does at Cosmo, will google a few recipes to get an
idea of what they add, I’m guessing stir fried in soy sauce or oyster sauce or
a bit of honey and ginger, I can experiment.
Well I’ve just printed off the
Cost of Christmas List for my backboard, that’s the ProPoint values of
everything you’re likely to eat or drink over Christmas on one list, every 50ml
of Bailey’s is 6pp that’s about an inch up the glass btw! Even
the healthy stuff can be high, 3 walnut halves = 2pp! OUCH!
Okay, I’m off, need to shower,
walk Alfie, load car – exciting life of a Weight Watcher leader, oh and after
my meeting, I’m taking the first batch of food and toiletries to the Black
Country Food Bank. Thank you to everyone
who’s donated already, it’s filled the back seat of my car almost.
Have a great day, eat well – feel
well. xx
