A testing time

And hasn't it been just that! OMG!

My weight has been up and down!

In my deffence, I have had a nasty time of it, what with problems at work (like not getting paid until almost a week late) and the stresses of family memebers landing on my door step and staying for a week, bringing all their bad habits to tempt my (almost non existant) will power!

I gained 4 pounds in the week that the family were here! And it's taken a week to shift it again!

So I am starting Feb at the exact same point I was at back on my last post on the 12th of Jan. I am 172 lb again.

Here's hoping that Feb will be a bit more successful! I'm hoping to lose between 6 and 8 punds this month!

Recipe: Pigsty Pie

This is one that we made up, although we are far from the first or only people to make a pie using pork or pork mince and call it a Pigsty Pie. So let's just say that this is our version of it. It smells great and reminds me of stuffing at Christmas, making it feel much more "naughty" than it is! This serves four people and it a nice 9 points per serving. You will need these for the mash: 400g potatoes 400g sweet potatoes 4-5 good sized carrots Salt Pepper Nutmeg Simply chop the roots, boil in salted water until tender, and mash! Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. The pie filling: 10 sprays low fat cooking spray (e.g. 1 cal) 1/2 lb lean pork mince 2 onions, finely chopped 3 apples, diced 1 leek, chopped 5-6 big mushrooms 2 tbs plain flour 1 tsp sage 1 tsp parsley Salt Pepper 1 vegetable stock cube 1/2 hot water 2 tsp English mustard Fry the onions in the cooking spray until they start to soften, add the mince. Once the meat starts to colour add the apple, leek and mush
