The Loveliest Accessory a Woman Can Have
is a Good Friend!
(tempted by that creme egg - don't be it contains this much fat!)
Today is
judgement day! If I’ve lost weight
following the Filling & Healthy plan I will be absolutely over the moon, I
really will over the moon if I lose weight today having followed this plan
because it will prove to me I actually can control my appetite and realise when
I’m full! If I managed to get through
yesterday I can survive any day, I was so busy, it wasn’t until I was standing
doing my talk in the morning meeting that I realised I’d forgotten to have
breakfast (a bit embarrassing when the subject this week is breakfast!) I didn’t eat anything whilst out and as soon
as I got home I grabbed a Weight Watcher bagel and the last of the prawns, this
was about 11.30am. I then didn’t stop
until 3ish when I realised I needed to stop and eat before going to work on the
night, I had a chicken casserole in the slow cooker but it wasn’t going to be
ready till tea time so because I had no time it would have been so easy to opt
for the wrong thing but instead I had a most boring meal of tinned tomatoes,
baked beans, 2 WW pitta breads and ham slices, it did the job which was to
sustain me through the day and keep me on track! That was the only 15 minutes I had for myself
yesterday until I finished on the night at 8pm!
However I managed to stay on track so I’m pleased that I’ve regained
control at last and switched off my sod it button! Tea was also simple Weight Watcher petit pain
and beef, very nice with a glass of red wine, lovely to sit down and enjoy
after a busy day and 9pp earned on my pedometer!
I must
resist the urge to stay up and watch tv late on a work night, it was 10pm when
I went to bed last night and when you get up at 5am, that’s stealing valuable
sleep time ;-) I feel surprisingly okay
though, maybe because I’m eating better quality food who knows! One of my helpers told me I looked tired last
night bless her, I actually think I was more in pain that tired, damn bad backs
they are evil lol, but yeah I suppose anyone that hasn’t stopped since 5am is
bound to look a little shattered by 8pm, thankfully I get to chill all weekend
to restore the balance. I wouldn’t
change my life for the world so it’s all good.
I must
ensure I have something scrumptious to look forward to when I come in from work
tonight as we know that’s my danger time, especially if I do lose, I’m likely
to think, “ooo I’ve lost it’ll be ok”, no it won’t I need that success to
continue, plus I’ll be having a diet free day Saturday as it’s my birthday and
I’ll be off out for a curry and drinking, although I won’t go crazy on the food
front and I’m going to opt for tandoori chicken, that’s as close as you can get
to F&H I reckon.
So here’s
another F&H meal for you to try,
Cottage loaf - (serves
4 at 4pp each or 14pp total) Preheat over to 190oC/375oF,
Gas 5. Place 450g (1lb) very lean minced
beef (14pp if using less than 5% fat mince), seasoning, pinch mixed herbs, 1
egg white, 1 small grated carrot, 1finely chopped medium tomato & 1 finely chopped medium
onion in a mixing bowl & blend well until combined. Place a strip of foil on a baking sheet &
place the mixture onto it. Shape into a
loaf or alternatively use a lined loaf tin.
Bake for 1 hour or until thoroughly cooked. Serve hot, sliced, with a selection of free
vegetables or cold with a salad.
OR if you’re
scared that there might be horsemeat in that there beef mince! Here’s another
Chicken sofrito -
serves 2 (4pp each) 2 cloves garlic crushed. 400g can chopped tomatoes, 28g (1oz)
lean cooked ham (1pp), cut into strips. ¼ level tsp salt. 85g/3oz green pepper,
chopped & deseeded. 170ml/6fl oz chicken stock made with chicken
Bovril. 85g/3oz chopped onion. 42g/1½oz
mushrooms, sliced. 1 level tsp oregano. Pinch paprika pepper. 255g/9oz chicken
breasts (6pp), skinned, boned & cut into ½” strips.
Place all ingredients, except the chicken, in a
pan. Mix well & cook gently for 15
minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the
chicken & continue to cook until the chicken is cooked thoroughly & the
sauce thickens. Serve with a selection
of no point vegetables.
Right I’m
off, busy day today and thankful there isn’t snow on the ground ;-) thank you universe, make the snow stay away
please.
Have a healthy and happy day, it’s worth it, makes life
good. xx
