NEVER
look down on anyone unless you’re helping them up!
Well I’ve
only just surfaced, I was tired, having a full on weekend last weekend, not
stopping to chill out had all caught up with me and I will definitely be
relaxing this weekend. Having a good
time with my bestie last Friday helped with my 1.5lb weight gain. Hey ho, I’ve been focused since Monday and I’m
enjoying trying Filling & Healthy meals so we shall see if it works for me
next Thursday, it has in the past so I’m hopeful.
Okay so
this filling and healthy thing for those that didn’t stay to the meeting, read
this weeks copy of your week – it’s great!
Also read your green copy of a more relaxed approach. If you’re reading this and you’re not a
Weight Watcher meeting member – why not – are you mad ;) we have a fab time
every week, it’s our social outing as well as our weight loss group, I just
love going to work.
How
does it work then? On a filling and
healthy day you only eat foods highlighted in your programme material or on your
app / weight watchers esource, and you eat until your satisfied not overfull (it
isn’t an all you can eat buffet!), and if you don’t know when you’re satisfied –
you do know what a plate of food SHOULD look like!
Here’s
a Weight Watchers suggested example of a day would be;
½ pint (284ml) skimmed milk for
drinks
Cooked breakfast
Bacon medallions, grilled
Egg, poached
Mushrooms, sautéed in 1 tsp healthy
oil
Tomatoes, grilled
Baked beans
Calorie
controlled bread, toasted
Lunch
Tuna rice
salad
Brown rice, cooked
Red onion
Spinach
Peas or broad beans
Yellow pepper
Tuna in brine or spring
water, drained
Fresh coriander
1 tsp healthy oil
Combine the rice, red
onion, spinach, peas or broad beans & pepper with some salt & pepper
and a squeeze of lemon juice. Top with the tuna and coriander, drizzle with the
healthy oil.
Pear
Dinner
Homemade burger & wedges
Extra lean beef mince
Onion, red chilli, fresh
herbs
1 tsp healthy oil
Potato
Mixed salad
Combine the mince,
onion, chilli and fresh herbs and shape into a burger. Grill in the oven. Cut
the potato into wedges, toss in the tsp of healthy oil and season. Bake
until cooked and serve
with the burger and a side salad.
Grapes
There are lots more to be
found on esource and I’ll continue to blog my meals this week so you can see
anything new I try, yesterday I had a quick breakfast of beans on crumpets. For lunch I made a delicious rump steak, mash
and veggies, it was really tasty and I was so satisfied for the rest of the day
when I fetched the Indian takeaway I’d promised my sister for her tea, I really
wasn’t fussed so I had a tablespoon on my balti, a tablespoon of my cauli
bhajee, a tablespoon on my spinach bhajee and a poppodum and I was full to the
brim. Yes I likes filling and healthy, I
haven’t thought about food all week. I
did eat a tray of chopped fruit yesterday too that a member had treated me too.
My only problem yesterday
was the size of my stomach! It was like a
hard rugby ball, I’m not sure if that was because of the fact I’ve been eating
food I don’t usually, such as pitta bread, brown pasta, fruit and my body isn’t
used to it or what? It’s not so bad this
morning so we shall see.
Totally unbusy weekend for
me, I’m chilling, I’m smiling this morning because I’ve just got my hands on
two front row tickets to see Jimmy Carr and also tickets for a day thing in
Derby to see Ian D Montfort amongst other comics, I love what I’ve seen of Ian
so far, he’s been on Radio 2, he’s a physic comedian and he’s very good!
Anyways enjoy your day, I
plan to, just a few hours of work then a chill out for me.
