Feeling soooo bloated today, and I don't know why. I drank loads of water today, but I do admit I neglected it seriously over the weekend even with the 12k of walking (between 2 days). Maybe thats it.
Stepped on the scales (I know I know) and it shows me as up a few pounds!!! How can that be!!! Has really annoyed me now because I was reasonably good, ate all my weeklies but walked both days on the weekend and didnt eat much crap at all, bar a few treats like. WI tomorrow (different WI than normal) and if I am up, i'm going to be so p*ssed off and demotivated.
ugh
I feel like that today too and I also neglected the water at the weekend,,AND i did the scales this eve an I am up also so must be something to do with that. ahhhh am so annoyed with myself for getting on the scales...although it has given me a kick up the butt I prob needed0 -
evening all
had a good day today and am back drinking water and feeling much better, decided to cut out all the fizzy diet drinks as they just make me feel yuck!!!
my motivation to lose weight is my children, I want to be able to do stuff with them and not hide in the corner!!! My son loves to go swimming but I wont bring him cause I hate being seen in my costume
and my DH can't swim so he doesn't get to go so am determined to get back in the pool and teach him how to swim properly.....I used to swim all the time and I miss it alot!!!
I have the eating out guide and from what I can see the GBK burgers range from 16 pp (chicken burger) to 36 pp for the Garlic Mayo Beef burger!!!! Chunky chips (no dip) are 12 pp and onion rings are 8 pp if thats any use!!0 -

its funny when you put it like that Lainy its an awful waste of points!!!! tis something I love about WW its got me back in the kitchen cooking again cause I find I get alot more for my points if I cook from scratch!!!

Lainy, I saw the recipe for the sponge and it looks interesting, just never used splenda in baking before.....would you notice the taste of it in cakes??? or would the cake taste normal???
I find splenda incredibly sweet so am just wondering.....that said after pointing my normal cake recipes and nearly dying of shock when I saw how many points were in a slice I might give it a go and see.....I kinda miss the odd slice of cake!!!:o 0 -

I honestly don't know what's wrong with me this week, but I just have absolutely no energy at all. I was off work today and after I cleaned house etc I crawled into bed,rather than go to the gym.. which I haven't been to in two weeks. I promised myself I'd get back into it this week. I'm sticking to my points,but not being great to be honest. I refuse to go off track, and seriously tryin to motivate myself.
I will get back to the gym on Wednesday, I actually think the reason why I'm so tired is because I haven't been going.
Anyway sorry for rambling 0 -
Really tasty, easy and fast
4 tablespoons Teriyaki marinade
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
500g chicken breast
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
low fat cooking spray
9oz asparagus tips
1 inch fresh root ginger, chopped finely
2 spring onions
Mix together the teriyaki marinade, soy sauce and sesame oil. Add chicken pieces, stir and leave to marinate for 30 mins.
Meanwhile, dry fry sesame seeds in wok or non stick pan for about 3 mins until light golden. Put aside.
Remove chicken from marinade (keep marinade for later), spray with cooking spray, add to work and stir fry until cooked. Remove - put aside.
Spray wok and stir fry asparagus for 3 mins, then add the ginger, chicken and leftover marinade. Stir fry for another minute or 2.
Serve sprinkled with the sesame seeds and spring onions.
That's it. Pro points for whole recipe is 18. Says it makes 4 servings, but I'd say more like 3 decent portions. Good value for 6 pp. I had it with 1/2 pk Dunnes fresh egg noodles (3 points) - it was really good.
Made another one this evening which wasn't so good....I'm blaming the recipe and not the cook

Morning All
I had the nicest dinner last night - Tuna fillet and mashed spuds
I have to say, for ppl who want to incorporate fish into their diet without having an overwhelming fishy taste, tuna fillet is the way to go! It has a really subtle taste, no where near the strong taste that the tinned stuff has! Plus it cooks in no time, the fillet I had was 200g and it was cooked in 6 mins on a grill pan and no fishy smell in the house either :D I cut the fillet in half to make two portions for the two of us and 100g was just the right amount. Had it with 150g mashed spuds and some onions and mushrooms, lovely and all for only 8pp :D:D 0 -

Shoe Lover, definitely going to try the tuna fillet. Where do you buy yours? And would you add any herbs or spices or anything to it, if you don't would you suggest any good ones I could add to it? Also, would cooking it under the grill, turning once, be ok?

Sorry for all the questions
When I cook fresh tuna I often just add cracked black peppercorns to it, you know like peppered steak.
Oh and re cooking with Splenda, I used it last week when making my braised red cabbage, it was GROSS! UGH! I'll be using a wee bit of regular sugar in future for it.0 -
morning
didn't get out and about for a walk last night as I didn't fancy doing a Mary Poppins impression.....the wind was mad :eek:
Just had a yummy bowl of oats and added 30g of raisins for something a bit different and I am absolutely stuffed......should keep me going til lunch :cool:
Shoe lover I have never tried fresh tuna cause I find the tinned one can be a bit heavy, might give it a go, I know the local fish guy has it in the odd time.....have to get creative with the old meats as there is only so much chicken one can eat in a week!!!:D0 -
