Weigh In #23


Eeeek! Look what I did! I lost that 1lb and got my 7lb Valentines Challenge beat a whole week early! I am thrilled! I really really didn't think I was going to get there this week. There have been some bad food choices made this week (like the amazing pork pies from our local butchers - nom nom nom! And junk at the cinema too...) but I have put some miles walking in - 24.88 according to my FitBit - and it has paid off!

I have been over my Weight Watchers Pro Points this week. I used all my Weeklies and even though I earned 36 Active Points I only had 5 left over by last night. But I guess that just shows that the Weight Watchers points system does work. I am SO far over my allotted points but still lost weight because I exercised enough to counteract the extra food!

Unexpected losses delight me... And I get an extra hit of motivation too. I can't help thinking over and over this morning "how much would I have lost if I had NOT eaten so much pie?" I did enjoy the pie though. I love the fact that Weight Watchers means I can have some - sometimes - as long as I work it into my points and ramp up the Active Points. Next week I will do all the walking, and none of the pie. See where it gets me!

Weigh In:
  • Me: -1 lb
  • Hubby: +1 lb
  • My total loss since Nov 2013: 60 lb
  • Valentines Challenge BEATEN!

Things I have learned this week:
  • Apps are GOOD! I've loved seeing my progress as I go on my wanders with Freddie
  • Weight Watchers points system REALLY DOES WORK when you use it properly
  • I need to buy FEWER pies when Hubby feel the need for them (1 can split 4 ways, not just 2)

Targets for this week:
  • Get a good start on my next challenge (a stone by Easter weekend)
  • Not dip into my Active Points (ie stay well within my Weeklies)
  • 2lb loss please!

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
