WI - Wednesday 9th February 2011

Well it appears that eating every single one of my daily and weekly points helps me loose weight!  When I weighed in this evening I had lost 1.5lbs!  Which means I am down to 12st exactly which is in the right direction :o)  I am glad I had a loss this week, think I may have cried if I had another gain!

On another subject, I have found a fab item of food in M&S this week:


Banana & Honey Cakes - You get 4 individually wrapped squares of cake in the box and each square is 3pp each (as you can see on the photo I have a habit writing the PP's on everything!) - and the cake is yummy!  Nice as a yummy little sweet snack :o)

Well, I must go and have some dinner as very hungry, hope you have all had a good week!!

2011 is here, time to get down to business

So Christmas and New Year have been and gone, I had a great time, spent time with my family and close friends and have had loads to eat and drink.  I have even sampled one of my Christmas pressies which was an ice cream maker by making a full fat custard based black cherry ice cream which was lush!  


However for the last couple of days I have had a stomach bug and over Saturday and Sunday I ate the grand total of 2/3 of a slice of bread with marmite, a tiny ham sandwich and 3 fingers of a kitkat Sunday evening.  Feeling much better today although still not got my full appetite back (which is probably a blessing!) so I guess it is a good time to start back on the ProPoints.  Going to ease myself back in by sticking (or trying to) to 29 points per day until after WI on Wednesday when I'll give myself the extra 49 weekly points again to use if needed - although to be honest not much happens in January so shouldn't be having any big nights out!

And as I'm not too good with New Years resolutions I'll make one I really think I can keep - from now on my ice cream maker will be making frozen yogurt for me to consume and not full fat creamy based frozen delights :o)



Roll on Wednesday so I can see what the damage is and wipe the slate fully clean!

Uh-oh, party time....

Well this weekend was good but in a bad way!  Was on track on Saturday, we had been to the cafe to have something major before the party and this kept my hunger away until we got to the hotel, then I had some crisps which was fine.... then I had half a Snickers duo.... then the party started so had a glass of champagne, 3 sex on the beach cocktails, a couple of double vodka's and diet coke, some cupcakes, sandwiches, onion bhaji, mini quiches...... lots of dancing though which was good!  And then the wedding cake came out, 3 layers, each one a different type of cake!  So I shared a slab of the chocolate layer with Stew and then had some of the fruit layer as well - it was a great way to end the night!  I went to bed thinking that it was ok and 'tomorrow is another day', draw a line and start again....

.... didn't get much sleep due to the firm pillows at the hotel being too firm for me and the soft pillows being just as firm!  So when we got up for breakfast I ate lots to get my energy up - Special K with milk, fresh fruit salad and a spoonful of natural yog, bacon sausage beans mushrooms couple of hash browns and a grilled tomato to finish - it was yummy and deffo needed.  Ended the day with tuna pasta which was not weighed out at all.... lets say tracking was out of the window yesterday!

So today I have been back on track, menu was:

Breakfast:
  • 2 weetabix - 3
  • 1/4 pint ss milk - 2
Lunch:
  • Ham sandwich - 7
  • ready salted crisps - 4
Dinner:
  • Haddock fillet - 4
  • 40g (dried weight) rice - 4
  • Veg - 0
Snacks:
  • Banana - 0
  • Apple - 0
  • 1/2 big tub of low fat natural yog, raspberries and banana blitzed together - 4
TOTAL - 28pp out of 29pp
So back on track today which is good, hope the weekend doesn't affect WI on Wednesday too much :o)

Went to the cafe this morning to have something substantial (and we have next to no food in the house!) and I worked out I had about 16pp leaving me with 51pp for the rest of the day, just have to try and not eat loads at the buffet!
