“I’m a sharer. When
you give of yourself, you get back. I
had to share it, so I called all my overweight friends.” Jean Nidetch (Weight
Watchers founder)
GreedyVille!
Have you ever been there?
I spent the last week and a bit there, the brochure sure looks nice but
when you arrive, there ain’t no sunshine and it rains most of the time. The foods, fast and cheap and it don’t fill you
up neither. Most of its sweet which seems good but then you end up feeling bloated and sickly by the end of the day – well I did anyway! I’ve never been so glad to leave after taking
a break from living in my Weight Watcher World.
Seriously it all started with a bag of fish & chip
crisps last Thursday and went downhill from there, I don’t know what was
possessing me, I’ve eaten chocolate brownies, sponge cake, leftover dark
chocolate from the ingredients, breakfast biscuits, WW peanut bars, the new WW
cookie bars, I’ve been walking round like a lobster grabbing anything that was
within reach. Then I’ve not been great
with my meals either, and if I see another Warburton Thin or bacon medallion, I
think I’ll cry!
Thankfully I made a pact with Batman yesterday (long story)
and we both agreed no more junk, back to eating healthy and I managed to get
back on track. The bad news is Batman
has given me his man flu, and I didn’t even get that close to him, it was a
virtual conversation so how I don’t know I caught it. I feel like death this morning, it’s even
hurting me to type, I’d go take some drugs but that would involve movement
again and I’m not ready for that yet ;(, just cancelled my nice lunch date with
my bestie, I just couldn’t drive, everything hurts from my head to my
toes. So the plan of action today is get
my paperwork done and go back to bed.
On a positive, and I have no idea how, I’ve lost a pound
this week! I gained two last week which
was the after effects of my birthday and I genuinely expected another gain
today because of me taking that trip to GreedyVille but thankfully I’ve got
away with it, just need to stay on the healthy now so it doesn’t catch me up.
So my donor kebab blog yesterday got a little bit of
attention, I have to say I was surprised when I’ve looked this morning and it’s
had 2,800 views! Made me smile because it
shows not only how many Weight Watchers are out there but that you’re all
supporting each other on your journey’s and sharing information. That’s really wonderful to know, as my
quote this morning says, Jean Nidetch had to share her idea and we’re all
continuing in her footsteps.
Eating out can be a minefield, a couple of other examples I’ve
blogged previously that you may not have seen are;

Toby carvery that worked out at 76pp!
Or the chow mein from the local Chinese
http://wwbevsworld.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/chowing-down-on-chow-mein-tasty.html
at approximately 18/19pp
You might not always be able to ProPoint meals out accurately
but you can guestimate, just try to make it a realistic guestimation! I mean it says in the Eat Out guide that a
name bread is 23pp I think, this one of course wouldn’t be that low!
Use your common sense when tracking!
This was my day yesterday, 26pp total for 3 meals;
Breakfast 9pp or F&H - scrambled
egg & tomato on toasted thin (believe it or not I couldn't find the porridge!)
Dinner - 12pp - chicken with cheese
and bacon, wholegrain rice & courgettes
Tea - 5pp or F&H - 5 minute veggie
noodles - much healthier than last night & and faster as no queuing to be
served!
I’m off, I feel like death, hope you
all have a wonderful day xx I’m gonna be doing some sleeping I hope!
