Really really stressful night at work, got rather upset with frustration, this is when i would usually reach for the snack machine but instead i ate my WW rich toffee choc bar - oh my yum and only 2pp. My last shift tonight before rest days and so need rest. X
Todays pack up. Had cornflakes with pineapple on for breakfast. No veg with my dinner (the curry) but not the end if the world. I am working 4pm - 2am tonight and tomorrow. Hate that shift. :(
Wow this is my days food for work. I have eaten breakfast. Total PP for the day 27 (because i forgot to add the yoghurt in i have gone 1 over). Do not think i will be able to eat all this. Oh and official WI 5lbs down in one week. Yayyy. Now at 11st 6lb - i am aiming for 10st x
Been storing my grapes & berries in a container in the fridge -to keep them a bit longer in this hot weather - also easier to grab a handful when i am feeling like chocolate lol
Thanks Everton
Thats nights finished for now - yayy. Took tons of fruit to work and no money so i wouldnt be tempted to raid the snack machine. Someone brought cake in one night too. To curb my chocolate fix i took sachets of WW hot choc for that 3am craving i always get. Have discovered that...
Oh thanks for that - i will give the quorn ones a try. Sorry little one not well hope better soon. Just finished my set of nights - coped by taking fruit, fruit and more fruit to work and to curb the 3am choc fix took sachets of hot choc.
Ahhhhh - hubby cooked dinner. He doesn't think. Lots of points today gone on sausage and mash :( - lots of fruit will be taken to work today to snack on. Jumped on scales this morning - lost 5lbs since Thurs so good start, although will not count my chickens yet.
I am doing ok myself. I need to look into the "filling" thing a bit more - working shifts might actually benefit me more. Hubby cooked dinner today so sausages and mash it was, going to only buy WW sausages i think to keep points down in future.
I am determined I am going to eat proper food but make sensible swaps and educated food choices. I work shifts so find it very hard to stick to a food plan but I am determined not to eat like a rabbit. Yesterday for example i really fancied a pork pie, now usually i would eat just one mini one...
Hello. I am Michelle. I am not new to Minimins as was previously an Atkins "dieter", which I loved may I add, but as soon as i stopped following the Atkins plan the weight just piled on, it is just too difficult to follow long term. I have been a WW online member for a few months now but have...
I do shift work and find it hard to make breakfast everyday so i rely on the Quaker Oat So Simple pots - i like the golden syrup one which is 6pp. When i am not working i do myself a veggie frittata type omelette using 0 pp veggies and only need to point the eggs - use low cal spray to moisten...
