17th February
Every day allow the space between where you are and where you want to be
inspire you not terrify you!
Meals planned for a week, two weeks was just too far to think ahead, I
did enjoy thinking about it though and I now have some meals to look forward to
that I know I wouldn't be having had I not thought about it. Our Chinese style dinner yesterday was great
and full of fresh ingredients, it was much tastier than the take away chow mein
I had last Tuesday that helped to stop me getting a weight loss. I even had cheese on a jacket for my tea, nom
nom.
I've got beef stew ready for tea tonight and for lunch we're having
salmon and rice. All of the meals can be
switched around if I don't fancy them on that day and it's pinned to the front
of my fridge as a reminder. Feeling
positive and hopeful that I'm getting back on the weight loss wagon, the nearer
to spring we get, the better I feel.
Oh it's national chip week if you didn't know, so I've added chips into
my planner, I do love my actifry, but you don't need an actifry to make filling
& healthy chips, all you need is potatoes and low calories cooking spray. Just preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C Fan/Gas 9. Peel the
potatoes and cut into rectangular chips and place in a large saucepan of boiling
salted water, cook for about 4 minutes, drain and leave for 10 mins to dry. Return the chips to the dry saucepan, cover
with a lid and shake to ''''rough up'''' the edges of the chips - apparently this
roughness is important to the texture of the chips. Spray a metal baking tray with low calorie
cooking spray. Transfer the chips to the tray, spray lightly with low calorie
cooking spray and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until
golden brown on all sides. Drain them on absorbent kitchen paper and serve with
salt and vinegar.
I have
a mesh sheet that I use in the oven for baking things like chips, if you can
get one of those, they're fab, had mine from home bargains I think. They have them on Amazon
I also
make quick wedges or chips by microwaving the spud till almost cooked, cutting into wedges and whacking in the oven on full
blast till they looked cooked!
Oh I
might have to have chips instead of rice with my salmon today now! You can't beat chips for a delicious healthy
meal as long as you cook them healthily and the beauty of the ProPoints plan is
if you can't be doing with all that faffing, you can have oven chips for approx
5pp per 100g, McCain Rustic Oven Chips With Skins on 3% Fat or McCain Crinkle
Cut Oven Chips 5% Fat are 4pp per 100g and Aunt Bessie's Homestyle Chips are
5pp for 150g according to the app! You
can even have McCains microchips for 5pp a box, mmm I have some of them in the
freezer, that's lunch sorted, I'll only have to open packets, no cooking
required because the salmons precooked too!
Oh I might steam some veggies to make it healthier still.
Again
if you want chip shop chips, on Weight Watchers you can, they work out at 7pp
per 100g, so it's all about deciding how you want to spend your budget.
Well
I've got smoked haddock for breakfast, really looking forward to that with a
poached egg and I might add an English muffin for 4pp, not decided about that
yet. For I need to wash, dress and load
my car ready for a week of weighing ;)
Have a
tremendous Tuesday BeYOUtiful, let's have a whole week of wonderful.
