Until you're ready to
look foolish, you'll never have the possibility of being great. Cher
Good day at the meetings
yesterday, two of my members achieved their goal, always great when that
happens, Graham joined 12 weeks ago and is now 28lb lighter and feeling
amazing, as is his wife who's not far behind him getting to her goal! Tracey has lost 55lb since August last year,
she joined with a health issue and thanks to weight loss she's reversed that
condition and won't have to take medication now - how fab is that!
I enjoyed my curry
yesterday, as did mom, but I made Iranian Vegetable Stew on the afternoon (one
of the Simply Cook kits) and it's not for me, I think its the Ras el Hanout
spice I don't like the flavour of, although it can only be the all spice as
there's no other ingredient I'm not keen on, or maybe it's just the combination
of them all together, but I choose to have the leftover bit of stew for my tea
instead.
Off for breakfast at
Wetherspoons after meeting this morning, so to decide to I go for the Eggs
Benedict at 18sp, I think I may, I'll have a bit of fruit this morning then
hang out till half 11 and have brunch. Might
go for the Eggs Royal for 19sp with Smoked Salmon mmm. Although I'm also tempted by the Smoked
Salmon, cream cheese and rocket bagel for 12sp.
We shall see! Planning is key to
success though, there has been a blue card points card posted in my Facebook
group for Wetherspoons, I've just checked a couple of meals on there and sadly
their ProPoints not SmartPoints, it does say in small writing on there
somewhere if you look carefully enough :( which is a shame, but the good news
is, most of them are on the app if you spell Wetherspoons correctly and also
all the nutritional info is on their website if you click on Dietary
Information under the meal.
The Skinny 8oz
rump, with side salad from Wetherspoons is 18sp with Sirloin
it's 19sp, the 80z sirloin main meal is 30sp, so the chips are costing you that
bit extra - sometimes worth it. For No
Count though you could order rump steak and jacket potato with peas (no butter)
or a side salad and enjoy. Now that does
sound good!
Anyway, I shouldn't be
this engrossed in thinking food before 6am '-) especially when I'm not having
brunch till gone 11!
I have enjoyed No Count
since Friday but if I go with the Eggs Benedict today, I'll have to Smart
Point, decisions, decisions.
But for now, moms just
woke so I'll go make us both a nice cuppa tea and get on with my day, people to
weigh, smiles to share.
Have a great day
beYOUtiful, today's No Count recipe would make a great Friday Fakeaway and can
be made veggie with quorn fillets.
No
Count Sweet and Sour chicken
Total 13sp ~ serves 4 ~ 3sp per serving ~ with Quorn
2sp per serving
6
skinless chicken breast fillets, very thinly sliced (10sp) or 6 Quorn Fillets
(6sp)
6
spring onions, trimmed and finely sliced
2
garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
Salt
and freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp
light soy sauce (2sp)
Low
calorie cooking spray
1 tbsp
dark soy sauce (1sp)
2 tbsp
sweetener
1 tbsp
balsamic vinegar
1 tsp
paprika
½ tsp
Chinese 5-spice powder
100ml
passata
Spring
onion slivers and lime wedges, to garnish
Place the chicken in a
shallow ceramic dish. Sprinkle over the spring onions and garlic, season well
and pour over the light soy sauce. Toss to mix well, cover and marinate in the
fridge for 30 minutes.
Spray a large non-stick
frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and place over a high heat. Add the
chicken mixture and cook for 5-6 minutes and then add the dark soy sauce,
sweetener, vinegar, paprika, 5-spice powder and passata. Stir to mix well and
bring the mixture to the boil.
Reduce the heat and cook
gently for 3-4 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Check the
seasoning before serving garnished with spring onion sliver and lime wedges to
squeeze over.
I'd be tempted to throw
in some pineapple chunks too for extra sweet!
You can also make this
recipe with pork 500g = 20sp. Add rice for 6sp per 60g dried weight or
cauliflower rice for zero.
