3rd November 2017
You can’t fall if you don’t climb, but where’s the joy in living
your whole life on the ground?
A little tired this morning, but worth it. We didn’t go to bed till 11pm, my brother and
his wife arrived about half eight, after an awful drive up from the airport –
it took longer from London to Wolverhampton than it did from Corfu to England! We had a few hours of catching up and
laughter before I finally had to admit defeat and go to bed as I’m covering a
meeting for another coach this morning, so need to be out early.
Well last Thursday my bestie returned to my meeting as a
member and she got weighed of course but I decided to make it my weigh in too
and got weighed with her, would you believe I managed a maintain this week
despite eating for 3! I’m relieved I
have to say, now to try and not do too much damage over the weekend but I’m not
going to stress about it, I will enjoy having my family here and worry about it
later. My brothers going to cook for me –
that’ll be worth a gain!
It’s a bit nippy this morning and I can’t put the heating on
because I’ll wake everyone up and I don’t want to do that, this house will be
loud soon enough, you don’t understand how loud it will be, when you put more
than 2 Longsdens in a room together, oh it’s so loud, we need a talking stick
as we all get excitable and try to talk at the same time.
Well my blog yesterday about eating for 3, me, the wild boar
and the truffle pig seemed to ring true for quite a few, there were a lot
relating to this tale of greed and I’m glad to say on the back of it, a few of
you returned to the fold. I’ve loved my
meetings this week, we have had a few smiles but the smile of the week goes to
my lovely last Thursday meeting and the very innocent but wonderful member who
when asked by her colleague at work if she’d had eaten kidneys, she replied ‘no
but I’ve eaten the beans that come from it!”
You’ve got to love that!
I’ve had some amazing donations this week for Yum Tums,
including two bin bags of gifts from the shop on Bloxwich High Treat called “WOW,
that’s a bargain”, make sure you support your local store and have a pop in and
a mooch at their goodies on offer there. Then a huge thank you to Penn Road Butchers,
not only did he donate a huge turkey crown, he sold me the other 3 at cost
price – how fab is that, they look amazing too!

year by making special ‘Weight Watcher’ friendly stuff including burgers and
chicken sausages made from breast meat.

Anyway enough of the free advert! I need to get my backside in gear, I have a
busy day, two meetings and family in the house!
Here’s to the best weekend ever, bless my sister-in-law last
night as we were all going to bed she said, “I’ll clear this Chinese up in the
morning will you be able to get your breakfast with it in your way?”, to which
my brother said, “Our Bev, are you joking, I call her Stig of the Dump, she’ll
be eating that for breakfast never mind working round it!” Mmm, now what to have for breakfast ;) See ya lol xx
Penn Road Butchers
Sells fresh, healthy meats such as chicken,
steak, pork loin you point as normal.
Chicken curry 3sp a tray
Donor burgers (125g) 3sp
Mexican burgers (125g) 3sp
Chicken burgers (125g) 1sp
Low fat pork sausages are made with lean
pork and a little rusk so I would point as reduced fat pork sausages as per the
app which is 2sp each, 4sp per 100g
Chicken sausages are made with chicken
breast and a small amount of rusk, so I guestimate 6sp per pound more than
covers it.
If you ask him he can make Gluten free
chicken sausages.
You can choose any lean fresh meat, he cuts
the fat off, then coats with the flavour of your choice.
e.g.
Chicken breast / pieces (1lb or 450g) = 4sp
Beef mince 5% (1lb or 450g) = 11sp
Beef rump steak (1lb or 450g) = 10sp
Beef stewing steak, lean) (1lb or 450g) =
8sp
Pork loin, 1 steak (125g) = 5sp
He uses 30g marinade per 1 pound of meat.
Chinese 30g = 3sp (11sp per 100g)
Garlic 30g = 4sp (15sp per 100g)
Lemon Pepper 30g = 4sp (12sp per 100g)
Pepper Steak 30g = 3sp (10sp per 100g)
Cajun 30g = 4sp (12sp per 100g)
Tandoori 30g = 4sp (12sp per 100g)
Mint 30g = 5sp (17sp per 100g)
Tikka Masala 30g = 5sp (16sp per 100g)
BBQ 30g = 6sp (19sp per 100g)
Piri Piri 30g = 4sp (14sp per 100g)
So you add the SP for the meat of your
choice to the SP of the marinade and that gives you the total.
