Re: 2011 Diet Club

Angelic, you be steady going on wagons!! I'll give a leg up back up

We're all allowed blips and this is one, your allowed a treat so class today as one and try again tomorrow, you can do it.......we all know how strong willed you can be

Thank you!!

I had a semi reasonable day today!

I had a yummy banana and custard flavour muller light for brekkie with half a cuppa tea (I was so upset I had to pour it down the sink but I was running late for a hospital app!!)

A roast chicken sandwich (on wholemeal bread) for lunch with a some water.

Then for dinner I had pasta arrabitata (sp?!) with lots of veg on the side!

Shame I snacked on a couple of mini rolls though

I've not had any skinny water today though and I feel exhusted so I'm now positive that it was giving me a boost!!

All in all, I definitely feel better for eating fresh fruit and although my veg isn't always fresh (well, hardly ever actually!) and I'm not losing weight because I can't exercise, I feel alot less tired and run down so that in itself is quite good for me really!

Re: 2011 Diet Club

well done everyone on the losses
some good tips there fribourg, thanks!

well i have given myself a good talking to tonight and i think i am ready to get back on with it - Loo please could you zero off my weight loss as i am heavier than that now and i'll weigh in on Monday as my initial weigh in, draw a line under the last couple of months.

i've had my WW booklets out and i've read them all tonight. i've set up spreadsheets to track my weight and measurements, food intake and exercise. OH said to me 'you love your spreadsheets don't you' how sad am i.... i'm not quite sure when i turned into a geek but hey geeks rule

so this is it, i'm back with the gang, sorry for my absence, i think it's all tied in with my moods, when i'm down i can't control my eating so i'm attempting to drag it under control xx

Re: 2011 Diet Club

well done Jen! that'll soon drop off x

i thought i would share a simple soup i made tonight, it was very tasty. on weightwatchers it is a zero point food so i'll be keeping some to hand

Chunky Italian Vegetable Soup - Serves 4

Chop 2 carrots, 1 onion, 2 celery sticks, 200g turnip or swede into small pieces. Put them into a large saucepan with two tins of chopped tomatoes, 1 crushed garlic clove (i used 2 hehe) 1tbsp tomato puree and 1 tbsp italian dried mixed herbs

Pour in 1.5 pints of vegetable stock and simmer until all the veg are tender - about 30 minutes.

Tip - chop the veg very small

enjoy without feeling guilty!!!

Re: 2011 Diet Club

O.k so my healthy eating continues to challenge me...

Breakfast was weetabix with semi skimmed milk. I always drink SS as skimmed is like drinking white water!

Lunch was a really rushed microwaved tattie with ww tuna and sweetcorn.

Dinner was another ww ready meal (yeah I know this is bad but until I learn the art of portion control, the ready meals stay!!) with lots of savoy cabbage and peppers.

I had some quavers and a can of Irn-Bru when taking the kids out for a walk - was sore when I got home, won't be making a habit of walking too far until I'm not preggers anymore!!

I know the savoy cabbage and pepper combo sounds a bit minging but it's really not!

I par boil the cabbage so it stays a wee bit chewy - and whilst it's boiling - I put some frylite into a pan and fry some onion and fresh pepper (any colour will do but I found it works well with yellow even though I'm not the worlds biggest fan of yellow pepper!) then strain the cabbage really well before adding it to the onion and pepper.

I then crank up the heat a little bit so it browns slightly - you don't have to do that but I like it!
