Weigh In #21

I must have managed to hit my reset button at last... I have been good this week! It stopped raining, sleeting, and hailing. The sun has been shining. I walked to town and back 5 days this week, and I even hit my FitBit steps target yesterday - and that hardly ever happens on a weekend. I have swapped my twice weekly "Costa Coffee and Cake Treat" for a Juicafe juice bar drink and a Nakd bar. I have felt much better for it too.

And I have been rewarded with a 2lb weight loss. I am very happy with that. Hubby got the same result. We're clearly back on track now after a rocky start to the month. In fact... I only have 2lb to lose now to to reach my Weight Watchers Valentines Challenge!

I am slowly adjusting to the drop in points, and I can feel the difference on days when Freddie chooses more milk over food (coz I feel hungry those days) but I am working hard on eating more fruit on those days, not junk. I am not looking forward to him coming off breast milk altogether, but hopefully we're still a long way off that.

Short and sweet today, I have a busy Sunday ahead!

Weigh In:  
  • Me: -2 lb
  • Hubby: -2 lb
  • My total loss since Nov 2013: 58lb
  • 2lb off my Valentines Challenge!

Things I have learned this week: 
  • Juicing is actually TASTY! Especially with root ginger.
  • I can find "excuses" to walk to town 5 days a week.
  • I can get back on track after Christmas & a bout of SAD

Targets for this week: 
  • Get out walking again - it was great this week.
  • Not eat all the fudge I am making today for my eldest's Scouts party!!!
  • And again.... drink more water!



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.

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
