Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you
will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning
the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement. Golda Meir
I had a wonderful day yesterday, my kind of day off,
it started with my shopping being delivered by Morrisons and I was very
impressed with it too! The couple of substitutes
they made were ok, the bacon medallions were replaced with bacon bacon but I
can use the medallion bit only and I will chop up and save the fatty bit for
when I’m doing a recipe that needs bacon lardons and ProPoint it, it actually
worked out better value for money that way.
They sent me a welcome gift in the bags, a
gingerbread man – don’t they know I’m trying to lose weight, it’s still wrapped
up and will be finding another home, not something I’m willing to swap my
weeklies for.
Alfie and I then had a walk, we were out a good
hour but only did just over a mile, he smells everything, then stands and
stares into the distance, I just follow him, as ultimately it’s HIS walk so he
gets to decide how he spends it! It was
such a beautiful morning yesterday too, I would’ve loved a good stomp through
the fields, but no Alfie was having none of it!
After eating a delicious breakfast, I then spent just under 3 hours in the kitchen being
my own version of Delia, I absolutely love the new Weight Watchers Filling
& Healthy Cookbook and have a list of meals I plan to cook from it,
yesterday I did some then froze them, so now I have quarterpounder burgers
ready for evening tea this week, the most delicious yellow split pea and ham
soup (I don’t think I’ve tried split peas before but they’re tasty!), also made
the curry sauce recipes to have with homemade chips Thursday night I think, be
like a takeaway at the end of my working week.
Then for dinner I made braising steak with onions and mushrooms, mmm. It’s great to have a cookbook that you
instantly know all the ingredients are ok on both Simple Start and Filling
& Healthy, yet if you’re following ProPoints, they’re all listed for you in
the book too.
I’m loving my new tidy kitchen, all my pots and
pans hanging on one wall, I washed up as I went along and it was as clean at
the end as it had been at the beginning = result!
Today we’re having Greek pork patties
with radish Tzatziki, another recipe out of the book, I didn’t get a few
ingredients on my list as they were out of stock so I’ll need to nip out and
get them before I can make the other things on my list this week out of my new
bible! Still to cook
Spaghetti
Carbonara (p74 F&H cookbook)
Eggs
Benedict (p30 F&H cookbook)
Mini
chicken, spinach & cottage cheese frittatas (F&H cookbook)
Chicken
stew & rice (p40 F&H cookbook)
This recipes in this week’s YOUR WEEK in meetings.
I’m
also collecting recipes from magazines that I can use over the coming weeks,
plan to get me a meal planner/recipes/shopping list folder that I can use again
and again. I already have my Weight
Watcher recipe folders so I will use one of them.

I
even finished clearing out the last of the drawers downstairs, so now
downstairs is sorted, I’m scared to start upstairs!
The
rest of my day was very relaxed including a couple of glasses of wine, a bath, some
tv & an early night – I love those kind of Sundays.

Monday morning planned though, I have lots of WW paperwork to get through, I’m
contemplating popping to a shop for the other few ingredients for my recipes,
although I may leave that and attempt to get to grips with a room upstairs!
Either
way, I’m feeling refreshed after the weekend, here’s to a good one, Eat
Gorgeous & BeYOUtiful because we’re worth it. xx
