Weigh In #8

I got my next 7lb award star! So I am super chuffed about that. It means I have lost 16lb since having Freddie, and a whacking great 3 stone since November last year.

I am now only 2 stone and 3 lb off my target weight. I am more than half way to target!

However..... this weekend we have been away (we are still away) and have not been following the diet. Breakfast for me has been cereal and a cooked breakfast like I normally have when we stay in a hotel. I did choose Special K instead of Honey Nut Cornflakes and Quorn Sausages instead of regular pork ones... and ditched the bacon all together. But it was still way more than I should have had. I also plumbed for my usual scampi and chips for our pub lunch and followed that up with another cooked meal for my dinner - although it was a "Slimming World" approved meal (my Sisters In Law do Slimming World).

They way I see it.... I have let my hair down for a weekend. For the last time before Christmas. I over indulged, but made some more sensible choices than I would have previously. I know I have some serious make up to when I get back home. I have already placed my grocery order for Monday morning... all healthy stuff! I am fully expecting a gain next weekend, but I am going to work hard to make it a stay-the-same. Now I've lost 42 lb and really really don't want to gain any of it back!

Weigh In:

  • Me: -1lb
  • Hubby: STS
  • My total loss since Nov 2013:  42lb
  • I have lost 3 stone since Nov 2013!

Things I have learned this week:

  • Chocolate tastes better when I haven't had any in a week!
  • Quorn sausages and soy mince aren't as bad as I had imagined
  • My will power is only as strong as my desire not to walk to the shop in the rain. If it's available I will still cave in :(

Targets for this week:

  • Not to record a gain at my next weigh in! Serious work needed after this weekend!
  • Survive Half Term without eating the same amount of junk as a hyperactive school boy - coz I wont run it off like they do!
  • Drink more water. It's a habit which is slipping!



Facebook has changed it’s policy for posts to Facebook pages like mine. They are only showing posts to a few likers unless I pay to boost the views. Since I don't earn money from my blog (or at least not much, not even enough to buy one posh a coffee a week) I wont be doing that. The best way to make sure you will see my blog posts is to subscribe by email up there on the right. I usually only email once a week and include an invitation to my blog hop so you can share your posts too.

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
