Feeling much better!!!
Well, yesterday I actually fell asleep after many trips to the toilet. I woke when Elliott was knocking on the back door to get inside. He told me I looked shocking. Dont you love compliments lol. I took things easy as I was still a little woosy. But as the afternoon progressed I felt better and better. I ended up feeling so hungry I think my eyes were bigger then my belly. I went to the freezer and got out some beans and corn etc and cooked that up. I also got out TWO pieces of chicken breast. I dont think I have ever eaten two at one sitting. But last night I was STARVING. I only hada total of 22.5 points for the day so at least that is one good thing.
I got am email from Terri my WW@Home leader. I really feel motivated after her letters.
Last night I put some veges and chicken into the hotpot and this morning the house is filled with lovely home cooked smells I remember from childhood. Isnt it nice to smell chicken cooking. I am about to make up some instant potato to add to the hotpot I made. Well what I mean is I am making up single serves of it so that my DP can take it to work. It works out to be about 6 points per serve. Just depends on how many meals I can stretch it. 6 Points might seem a lot, but before Elliott would buy a Pastie, Coke, Raspberry Slice, Cherry Ripe and something else. Not good on points, or our savings. We tried buying the WW Frozen Meals, but we didnt like a lot of them and some of them were high in points and low in quantity. So if you are like me and like to have a satisfying meal you are probably best off making something like me and freezing it for later.
My home cooked meals have been a godsend. I can pull one out if I dont feel like cooking and Ell can take them to work. I went to Crazy Clarkes and bought a heap of containers to make up some meals. They didnt have a wrapper so the guy sold them all to me for a total of $2 WOOHOO. What a bargain!! I think I have about 15 all up. Enough to make a few different meals and I can top them up each week with something new so we dont get bored with the same thing all the time.
I have decided to make another link for my recipes and other food hints I have for myself. I have been searching through heaps of blogs and journals looking for similar thing so I am guessing there are a few people out there who would like to know the same. So while it might take me a while to compile, it will be up and running soon. Will let you know when.
This part of my Blog is in limbo at the moment, so I do appologise for the layout. I am trying to work it all out. I have had heaps of compliments on it so far so thank you all, you know who you are.
I have seen in other blogs people listing down their daily intake. I am thinking of doing something similar, but doing it on a weekly basis.
I am concentrating on sugar points at the moment. Trying to cut back. My downfall is Nestle coffee, Nutella and the odd chocolate and Icecream. Another lady has told me about making my own sugar free Nutella so I am going to give it a try this week. Will let you know how it goes.
I think I have said enough for one day, well at least for now.
Take care and stay focused.
