Thread: Healthy eating for life?? Here's hoping!!

Hello

My names Hannah, I've decided to come back to WW as it works for me....when I follow it! I've been calorie counting on and off for the last couple of years, but I think I prefer the structure of WW. I dabbled with pro-points when it first came out, but I'm not 100% with it, but the old plan always worked a treat!

I haven't got loads to lose but these last few years have been a battle of gain a stone lose a stone...etc... So I'd like to lose it for good & be a good maintainer

I have a diary in calorie counting, but posting my pp didn't make much sense so I thought I'd start a new one I weigh on a Wednesday so am on day 6 with 14 weeklies left

Here goes:
B - yoghurt, blueberries & cereal bar - 5pp
S - satsumas & a chocolate - 1pp
L - homemade soup, oatcakes & hummus - 6pp
S - plums
D - beef meatballs in a tomato & veg sauce with pasta & Parmesan - 13pp
S - (cinema) maltesers & fruit salad - 5pp

Total - 30pp
Weeklies left - 13

I haven't had dinner or been to the cinema yet, so it could change!!

Thanks for stopping by, Han

So a 'minor' amendment to yesterday, dinner was 14pp in the end (cheese!!) & I was too easily tempted by some green & blacks choccie (2pp)...I know on top if maltesers + another choccie....chocoholic?!
So 33 in total 10 weeklies left for today....

I really wanted to be good today but I'm a part time student & have been at uni today which I always find tricky, I already lug so much stuff in I cant manage a cool box lunch/dinner box so end up on sarnies & snacks :/ But also I'm always hungry when I'm here!! It's left me only 10pp for dinner & my husband is cooking so it'll be 14-16 at least....ah well, suck it up..that's what weeklies are for

Today so far:
B - oats with water blueberries & sugar (no honey )
S - plum & satsuma, nuts - 2pp
L - melon & grapes, squarish wrap with light mustard mayo, ham & salad, velvet crunch - 9pp
S - (for the arduous 2hr journey home) small eat natural bar - 4pp

10pp left + 10 weeklies....hope I can do it

Thought I'd best eat all my weeklies so here it is...
D - chicken, small amount couscous, mini pittas, yoghurt & salad, shape delight - 18pp
S - chocolate!! 6pp

Total - 39pp
All weeklies used

Only earned 11bpp need to up the exercise badly!!

Well January assignment one is done & handed in, one more to go

Today was a good day, kept to my 29pp

B - sultana bran & skim milk - 4pp
L - apple, 1pp soup, 1 bread, 2 oatcakes, crudités & houmous - 7pp
S - plums, crisps - 3pp
D - turkey mince meatballs in green thai sauce (made with paste & half fat creme fraiche) & noodles - 13pp
S - WW choc slice - 2pp

Total - 29/29
Weeklies - 0/49

Oh & I lost 2lb this week, yay me

Feeling a bit lonely here, but hey ho....I'm carrying on regardless!

Dailies - 29/29
Weeklies - 0/29 AP - 3 (cycle & wii fit) & 3 on the old plan pedometer, just from work! Didn't realise I walked so much....so to be safe rather than sorry I'll record it the same - 6ap - I'm not going to use then though but it's good to increase my aps week by week

Iv been reading just not had time to comment! My diary is quiet too lol,
It's been quiet in here for a while but now it's busier I think things are getting missed x

Food looks good x

Ah thank you I'll check in in yours....I know what you mean about reading but not commenting, I'm an avid reader....so I shouldn't complain!!

May have had more chocolate than necessary - 2pp

Weeklies - 47/49 !

Friday night....will it break me?! I'm back from the pub & only had 1 pint & that's the biggest obstacle! Not had my tea yet - it's in the oven, so hoping I don't fall down here it is:

B - yoghurt& fruit - 2pp
S - cereal bar, banana, peach - 3pp
L - soup, oatcakes, houmous & salad - 6pp
S - 1pt lager (!) - 6pp
D - pitta pizza with mozarella, chorizo & Serrano ham, salad - 12pp
S - glass wine, twix finger, green & blacks - 9pp

38pp
Dailies - 29/29
Weeklies - 38/49 left
Activity - 3pp walking

38pp left for the rest of the weekend

Well today looks like its going to be a biggun! Just hope I have reserved enough weeklies for the buffet from hell tomorrow!

It's probably not from hell & I'm sure it'll be darned tasty....but that's the problem!

Saturday
B - apple, sultana bran, skim milk - 4pp
S - banana
L - oatcakes, houmous, crudités, salad & soup - 6pp
S - melon
D - steak sarnie (12), wedges (6), salad (1) & count on us dessert (3) - 22pp
Drinkies - half a bottle of cava & a glass of red - 14pp

Total - 46pp wish I didn't like booze so much, still there are some things I simply won't give up ... I blame being brought up in a pub!
Dailies 29/29
Weeklies left - 21/49

So that should be enough for tomorrow... if I manage to keep my day nice & low like today

Hmmmmm Steak sarnie , might have do that tomor

As I don't post my own food diary i tend to lurk on other peoples without commenting, I also pinch meal ideas whilst I'm at it lol

Fridays pizza sounds yummy!

Thanks guys!! The pizza was great, just made a tomato base with tinned toms & herbs, yummy! It's not as good as a real one but its filling with a salad and at least half the points!

Steak sarnie was also very good, we do like to eat well (read lots!) at weekends...think I should probably do either bread or potatoes, but can't resist both!!

Iv been buying smart price pizzas which work out at 9pp for half because they're abit tight with the cheese lol! But it's nice proper pizza not super thin and cardboard tasting
