is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." - Winston Churchill
WOO HOO!
I'm so chuffed, 5lb lost in my first week of Smart Points 2016! That's my Christmas gain well and truly
shifted and I feel like I can do this again, I've really enjoyed everything
I've eaten this week and proved to myself that things will wait, I'm allowed to
be the priority because I'm important too!
I love, love, love the Smart Points plan.
Don't get me wrong my desk is full of
paperwork but I needed to stop for that hour to eat yesterday and I also needed
that walk on Wednesday morning. You
can't take care of anyone else if you don't take care of yourself first, ain't
that right.
Yesterday was the true test as it really is a
busy day and in January, even more so, I kept it simple and used up the stuff
that was gonna go off. Breakfast was cheesy
mushrooms in a grilled wrap, lunch was a delicious jacket potato with crispy
bacon, cheese and mayo, then for tea aware of the fact that I hadn't really
done much in the way of fruit and veggies, I had 2 wraps with pineapple, ham
and cheese in the middle cooked on my George Foreman, with grilled tomatoes and
gherkins. I had a snack of a tray of chicken
breast and a banana that the lovely Sheila had bought me in case I got peckish
at meeting. To see pics of the meals I'm eating start

Activity wise, I ended the week on 59 Fit
Points, I did 56,711 steps, it's been a while since I've moved that much so I'm
happy with that, I also had 11 weeklies left - that won't happen again, it's
because I had a sober week ;), I shall be celebrating the weekend with a bottle
of red, but that's where this month's going to change, it will be a bottle over
the weekend not every day! If I want the
scales to go down, I've got to make changes.
As it's almost the weekend how about a curry,
here's your Smart Points recipe for today;
Chicken
Balti
Serves 4, 9 smart points
each
Spray a large saucepan with WW oil spray. Sauté 1 large onion and 1 medium eating apple, chopped, for 2-3 minutes. Add 600g skinless boneless chicken breasts (6sp), cut into chunks. Cook for 2 minutes, then add 2 crushed garlic cloves, 2 sliced carrots, 400g can chopped tomatoes, 3 tbsp balti curry paste (60g of pataks is 5sp) 300ml (1/2 pint) chicken stock and 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander. Simmer for 30-40 minutes. Meanwhile, cook 250g brown rice (24sp), in salted, boiling water for 30-35 minutes. Drain well. Stir 50g thawed frozen peas (1sp) into the curry. Heat for a few moments. Season. Serve, topped each portion with 1 tbsp plan low fat yogurt.
That does sound quite nice, I need to get me
some balti paste I think! But not today,
I've got a lot to do this morning, Alfie's off to the vets for this regular
check up, I've got paperwork to plough though but this afternoon I'm having
some well earned me time courtesy of the Chi Rooms, extra special long session,
a belated Christmas gift.
Here's to another week of success, enjoy your
Friday BeYOUtiful, you know it makes sense, focus on the healthy and happy. xx
