2nd December 2016
Next time someone tells you you've changed, just tell them
you fell apart and put your pieces back differently!
I managed a half pound weight loss, I won't lie, I was
surprised, my tracking's got a little lapse, there might have been a couple of
things that didn't make it onto the pages.
Bread has once again reared its ugly head, I ate 5 slices yesterday -
that's not a healthy balanced diet at all!
Today I've woken up and decided that I will press the reset
button, this is week 10 of the 12 week challenge I set myself, I've got to say
it's getting harder the closer to Christmas it gets and also because I've lost
10.5lb I feel better, I can fit in those jeans again now, so I need to remind
myself why I started and try not to do too much damage this month.
Button pressed, a fresh journal page in front of me, I'm going
to have the morning in my favourite place -
my kitchen, focusing on taking care of me. I will give it a clean and tidy first so it's
a nice environment to plan a few meals, make a shopping list and get my act
together again, of course when I'm in there tidying, I'm dancing about, singing
and earning a few FitPoints, it's my happy place.
I threw a whole skinned chicken, spuds, carrots, onions in a
slow cooker yesterday and topped it with a tin of chicken soup, turned out
alright, good easy meal, I didn't peel the spuds or carrots just chopped them
up. I had beans on toast for lunch, I
need some of my nom nom meals back this week, so a little sitting and thinking
in order I reckon. Need to get those
cookbooks out and have a look for what I fancy making for sure, ooo food....
I've got a butternut squash needs using, I'm thinking
something along the lines of my butternut squash scrumptious, I'll have to nip
to shop to do it though, but that's okay, or I can tweak and adapt and come up
with a new recipe!
Butternut Squash Scrumptious
Serves 4, 7sp each
|
1 butternut squash, peeled & diced into 2cm
cubes
2 onion diced
70g diced pancetta 8sp
¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
30g chorizo sausage, sliced 4sp
3 tablespoons sherry 2sp
125 ml Water
75g Saint agur
blue cheese 12sp
|
Add onion and pancetta to a large
frying pan and cook for a few minutes, then add chorizo followed by
paprika. Next add sherry & water,
cover and cook for 20 minutes or until squash is cooked. Break the cheese into pieces and mix into the
pan, serve.
That'd be lush on a bed of spaghetti. Anyway if I want to spend a few hours in my
kitchen I better get on and get stuff done.
I've got a poorly mom, she's finally caught the lurgy,
rotten head cold and cough going on, I hope it doesn't linger long and she's
feeling better soon, poor love. Hopefully Alfie will walk with me, he can be a
stubborn little shih tzu, he wouldn't leave her yesterday afternoon to
walk!
Here's to a re-focused Friday, making it fabulous and looking
for those smile moments. Focus on the healthy
and happy BeYOUtiful.
Oh and don't be afraid of the butternut squash :)
