Weigh In #25

I am rubbish at school holidays, I really am. This week has been another rough week with a 1lb gain. I've had no car this week (MOT & Service resulted in an expensive part needing to be shipped in) so taking the kids any great distance has been a no-no, and the weather has been awful too so there was little chance of trying to drag them out walking (esp the 2yo & 4yo). In fact we wound up staying in pretty much all week with one trip to a local park (on a freeeeeezing cold day) and one trip to an indoor play area.

We have also enjoyed Pancake Day... with masses of pancakes; some with cheese and ham, some with chocolate and fruit. Not ideal for slimming.

I knew in advance that this would be a hard week though so I have been working on damage limitation. The juicer has been put through it's paces. Even the kids are enjoying the results of my juicing and pinterest addiction (I'll be buying a smoothie maker next). All in all I think a 1lb gain isn't too bad. I was expecting 2-3lb gain. Hubby stayed the same - and he wasn't expecting that either.

Just one more day of holidays left though, and Hubby is home tomorrow too so I am off walking all week if I can. I want to get my steps in, keep juicing and souping and hopefully next week I can lose something. A 1lb gain might not be so bad, but it is two weeks in a row and that has to stop now. I had planned to lose a stone by Easter and now that's looking doubtful. I'm still going for a minimum 7lb loss (9lb now) and I will count anything over that a real bonus.

Someone said to me that my weight loss looked to have "plateaued" and at the same point as last time (before my wedding), but it's not leveled out for no reason. I am secumbing to temptation more easily, using holidays as an excuse to slack off. And I need to get going again! Some one KICK ME back into the Weight Loss Game please!

Weigh In:
  • Me: +1 lb
  • Hubby: STS
  • My total loss since Nov 2013: 58 lb
  • Argh! 2lb gain in two weeks!

Things I have learned this week:
  • It would be really easy to pack all this in right now and gain all my weight back
  • I lost my will power to continue at this same point (weight) last time I tried to get healthy - I need to get past this!
  • I need to get my head back into this!

Targets for this week:
  • Juicing & Souping through the day, proper dinners in the evening. NO MORE JUNK MEALS!
  • Walk 3-4 miles at least 3-4 days this week
  • LOSE! Even if it's just 1lb!

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
