Weigh In #20

Well, who would have thought this would get to week 20?? Honestly... I don't think I did! I usually pack my diets in well before now. Although I am struggling right now as I battle against Seasonal Depression and the rotten weather (who ever said the weather is no excuse didn't have to consider baby wearing in a hailstone storm!)

I haven't even felt up to doing a vlog this week. Mostly because my mood shows on my face & hair and I look shocking!

I have not done well this week. I have over eaten again. I am raiding the kids chocolates and feel like I want to go into hibernation. I am in urgent need of some walking time! I need to get out of the house, get busy, and fill my brain with good hormones instead of filling my belly with Cadbury's. I only earned 10 active points this week. I'd like double that. My walking buddy messaged me today to arrange a walk for tomorrow and I've said yes. I would have gone to town at least anyway, but there's a good chance we'll go a lot further if the weather is fine. I can deal with cold, it's wet that causes a problem because of my wearing Freddie. He doesn't have a waterproof that will do the job.

I have checked my weight on and off through the week, which is not something I normally do, but I needed to ram home the truth that my nibbling was affecting my weight loss. Especially now that I have lost 7 points with Freddie eating solids now as well as having breast milk. I have wavered half a pound up and down all week - actually logging a bit of a loss on Thursday - but today is my official weigh day and I wound up with a Stay The Same. Not great. But it could so very easily have been a hefty gain so I'm content with that. Content-ish...

I'm trying to get positive. Here's what I did right this week:

  • Kept tracking even with the nibbles
  • Walked Jack too & from Beavers instead of driving
  • Walked to town once, even though I didn't feel up to it
  • Even though I have snacked, my actual meals are still right
  • I DIDN'T GIVE UP!

I need to keep going! Here are my weeklies.

Weigh In:  
  • Me: STS
  • Hubby: -1 lb
  • My total loss since Nov 2013: 56lb
  • 4 stone lost since Nov 2013! (Only 19lb to go!!!)

Things I have learned this week: 
  • WInter is still my enemy and I need to get out of my rut!
  • Dropping 7 points in one go is really hard!
  • I am NOT a QUITTER!

Targets for this week: 
  • Get used to having 7 fewer points a week day!
  • WALK! Hit my target steps Mon-Fri (it's only 6000 FFS!)
  • DRINK!!!! Damn it! 



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. 

 You can also go to my page, hover over the “liked” button and select get notifications. Then you will see my posts and status updates in your notifications. Mumma Walker on Facebook

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
