Weigh In #7


Poor Hubby has not been looking forward to this weeks weigh in, he has serious trust issues after the unexpected 5lb loss recorded last week. This week he has a gain of 2lb... but really it's what we thought might happen. Last week he was (I think) still quite dehydrated when he got weighed. The hang-over kicked in a couple of hours after.

I don't want him to get disheartened though. So we looked at his chart. It has been a steady loss since the start, 2lb off one week, 3lb off the next, and then 2lb off again. We saw that if we ignored the big dip from last week that todays weight followed the same line on his chart. So he's happier now.

However, this week my mum turned up with a very expensive and very delicious looking chocolate fudge cake - a belated gift for Hubby's birthday. We've not touched it, saving it for today after weigh in so we can have all week to work it off!

This week I have lost 3lb, much happier after last weeks Stay The Same. I have made a few changes though, like ditching my beloved Nutella for the time being. I also missed out on my Costa Coffee treat this week - although I am planning to reduce my bucket of coffee to just a cup in future anyway.

I have completed the Halloween Hotties Challenge I set up to lose a stone before Halloween, recording a 15lb loss since the start of the challenge!

Life - being what it is - meant that I had to walk into town and back twice in one day earlier this week. Something I would never have contemplated before I started to loose weight. I though I would be exhausted, especially since I was carrying Freddie. But it was no difficulty at all! I even - thanks to my terrible memory and forgetting Tom's homework - had to climb our ridiculous hill twice between 8:45 and 9:00 one morning. I wasn't carrying Freddie (thankfully) but I managed it without being badly our of breath. I also had to carry my 2yo Georgie AND baby Freddie up the hill one day when George had fallen and banged his head twice resulting in him being too upset and sore to walk (this was not the safest thing I have ever done and don't recommend it, but needs must). 

So it seems that my fitness levels are improving.

Weigh In:

  • Me: -3lb
  • Hubby: +2lb
  • My total loss since Nov 2013:  41lb
  • I completed the Halloween Hotties Challenge!

Things I have learned this week:

  • I can live without Nutella
  • I can walk to town twice in one day, while babywearing, without killing myself!
  • I can climb our hill twice in 20 minutes (not babywearing) without killing myself

Targets for this week:

  • Gain my next 7lb star - needs a loss of at least 1lb
  • Work off the chocolate cake that we were gifted (too expensive and posh to give away or chuck out)

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
