Not
only is women’s work never done – the definition keeps changing!
Oh well
it appears it’s official Bailey’s and Maltesers make my belly grow! My not
so great week has resulted in a two pound gain at the scales, the second one in
a fortnight, so that 4lb I worked on losing has gone back on much easier. And that is how easy weight gain is, it’s
also why I’m a Weight Watcher because left to my own devices, I’d gain and gain
and gain, I need to keep myself under control and aware of the scales because ignorance
for me doesn’t lead to bliss.
Okay
this week it was mostly the fault of the Bailey’s and Maltesers, why the 2lb
gain the week before you may be thinking – well….. daft as it sounds, one of the
reasons was because my kitchen scales were taken and used in all my meetings
therefore they were in the car and I wasn’t using them to weigh or measure
anything, whereas usually I use them to weigh EVERYTHING, even my wine! I realise without my scales, my portion sizes
grow which is why they’re now back out on the side. That 4lb will be gone before I leave for my
Christmas break, I’m making that promise to myself.
Now
here’s the first glitch, I’ve promised my two helpers I’ll make them cheese and
potato pie for their tea today, and I’m thinking ooo that’s a lot of ProPoints
and it certainly isn’t F&H, so what shall I do. How easy is it to think, ‘sod it’ I’ll just
start tomorrow? But tomorrow never comes
then does it because there’s always something else stopping your progress. Instead I will make the pie, using
350g
cheese = 40pp
1kg
potato 21pp
Total =
61pp
This
will serve at least 6 good portions at 10pp each or use 7pp from my weeklies if
I decide to make today a F&H which I might because then I can have my baked
beans with it as a F&H option! Start
the day with scrambled eggs and there you go a perfect day of scrumptiousness
and comfort food. It’ll mean going without
my daily glass of vino but I can live with that, on this occasion the pie is
higher on my ‘want it’ list!
Depending
on how I feel later I actually might have the pie with vegetables instead of
beans, as I’ve got a cauliflower in the fridge needs using, it’ll make for a
very ‘white’ coloured meal but I can’t bear waste and that cauli need using!
Oh man
I haven’t got time for this messing about on the pc but I’ve just found a fab
recipe for Cauliflower and Almond Madras on the Weight Watchers esource, wonder
if I have the time to make that today?
Anyway,
whatever I have I’m on track for a weight loss next week, the only time I’m
eating out is Sunday lunch at a conference, however I’ll be stuck on a coach
for half the day and in a conference for hours so I won’t exactly be overeating/drinking
for the rest of the time and I’m guessing as soon as I get home I’ll be going
to sleep!
My
members lost 124lb yesterday, Julie received her 50lb weight loss certificate
and Emily got her gold membership having lost just over 5 stone – this is my
motivation, if these amazing people can lose weight at this time of year when
life is throwing stuff at them left, right and centre then I can get this 4lb
off before I start celebrating Christmas.
What’s
your plan to stay in control today? Do
you have one?
Eat
Gorgeous, BeYOUtiful and know it’s really worth the effort, because you are. xx
