If you have good thoughts
they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

So my filling and healthy cottage
pie went down extremely well with my visitors, no special recipe just lean beef
mince, carrots, onions, beef oxo stock, Worcestershire sauce, mash and 20g of
cheese on the top of each, they were 11pp each or F&H using 2pp of weeklies
for the cheese topping. I have to say
having my cooking appreciated makes me more inclined to want to cook again.
On today’s menu is the
goulash not sure if we’ll have it with brown rice or Actifry chips, we shall
see what my guests fancy. It was so good
to see my brother and his wife yesterday, it’s been a long time and so it was a
late night as you can imagine!
138lb lost in my meetings
yesterday, it’s great to see everyone still focused and on track despite the
cold weather and the fact Christmas is looming.
I was reading an article yesterday that talked about how people do a two
week extreme diet before Christmas as a last ditch attempt to get into an
outfit, however this just means that the then gain way more over
Christmas. There are no quick fixes or
fast solutions, we all know that really.
I had members joining yesterday and following the plan either ProPoints
or Filling & Healthy, in 4 weeks they could lose 8lb may a little more,
that’s a nice way to approach Christmas, by staying on track now it’ll also
mean they won’t go berserk over Christmas with the thought, “I’ll start in
January”, that can be a sentence that causes a great gain on the scales!
Food to help you lose does
not have to be tasteless or difficult, my cottage pie yesterday was easy and
both my brother and his wife said if they’d been served that in one of those
posh country pubs down South where Alexis’s family lives they’d have been well
impressed.
I intend to stick to using
Filling & Healthy ingredients as much as possible for the rest of the year,
I don’t want a crazy gain over Christmas, I’ll plan to enjoy myself and have a
bit of what I fancy but I’m not going to get that “sod it” mindset because the
discomfort of overeating is just not enjoyable to me anymore.
Alexis reads my blog daily
from Corfu and follows my facebook page and she’s even put in requests for
meals she’s seen on their whilst she’s staying with us :) this being one of
them;
So
simple to cook, a delicious cheap F&H meal - wholemeal spaghetti, red
pepper, onion, mushrooms, spinach & bacon medallion and to be honest when I
cooked it I realised it didn’t even need the bacon, it was delicious without.
Do
you have any cheap to cook delicious F&H recipes?
If you do, sent them to me at info@happyowls.co.uk
and I’ll share them with others. I think
my favs so far have been the Donor Meat, I think I might make some grilled red
pepper hummus today, that’ll be tasty as a light tea tonight on toasted WW
bread or in a WW wrap or pitta, mmm trip to Asda needed I think! So many recipes so little time ;-)
Anyways
I better get ready for work, busy day as always, another cold one here too, let’s
make today Winter Warmer Wednesday, comfort food is necessary I feel, goulash
for us…
What
you having? Remember to Eat Gorgeous
BeYOUtiful. xx
