p.s have realised 9pp used to be the old points for a bottle of wine ,I am almost afraid to ask but has anyone worked out the PP for a bottle of wine

 

[cheekychick81]

I worked out that a 250 ml glass was 6 pps so half a bottle was 9 pps.. I might be wrong tho?!

Hi Breda, I'm glad you enjoyed having your friend stay. I'm another beetroot fan... I don't think I've ever eaten so much of it. Really livens up a salad. I think a bottle of wine is 15PP but hopefully someone a bit more knowledgeable than me will confirm!

 

[Michillinwoman]

We actually drank a bottle ...each!!!!!!!!.. It sounds a lot but its really only 2-3 glasses each

Looked at the back of the pocket guide and white wine can be anything from 18-25 PP depending on the sweetness . I am going to say 20 for medium white !!!!!. Well that will teach me a lesson wont it:wave_cry:

Thanks Jo . I did enjoy the company so am not going to beat myself up ...

Its been a lovely day here too but this evening got quiet cool . Son got a lovely red glow after being out with his buddies in the pool ..

Have you any plans for weekend? . hope to have a nice quiet one here . no real plans. Enjoy the good weather (hopefully )

Thanks Micheala and ruth . had a lovely day . Its amazing how much better we feel with a bit of sun...

Food was going fine today but I found myself craving this evening . When the rest were having coffee and chocolate biscuits I had an orange (fine) but then when they went to bed I ate a full Galia melon.!!. still 0 pp I know but that must be OTT for fruit (had apple earlier in the day) . IT seems to have cleared the craving anyway . now Im off to bed before I do any more damage.

 

[CarlyLanky140]

Sounds like a nice day! Well done for having fruit when craving! Impressive xx

 

[Michillinwoman]

Hi Girls , Feeling very vertious today . Actually got off my ass and did 30mins on the treadmill in the gym. That might not seem like much to all the "shredders" here but its good for me. Have done no exercise really(odd few walks) up to this. I did it at 4.5-5.0 speed and 2.0 incline. Burned about 110 cals (not much i know but it all helps) At moderate level 30mins = 3AP

Menu so far

Breakfast
30g porridge..................3pp
1/2 pt skim milk.............3pp

Lunch
Mixed salad ,beetroot
60g chicken....................2pp
80g LF coleslaw..............2pp
1* slice brown wholemeal Br.....2pp
2* tsp flora light......................1pp

Dinner
TBD .. thinking of pasta carbonara but the sauce is probably sky high in pp.. will check Jar.
worked it out at 15pp for 1/4 of the recipe. will have salad with it (see my next post down for details)

Snacks
1*sm fruit scone.....................5pp
2*tsp flora light......................1pp

Hi Breda,

MMMM galia melon.. one of my favs! the great thing about melon is that while it tastes very sweet, it is mostly water so i cant think of anything better to pig out on Congrats on exercise as well. just doing anything that gives your metabolism a boot is really positive and will make a difference. hope you are enjoying some sunshine xxxxx

 

[Mifford]

is eating an entire melon bad??? Oh dear ... lol

Hey even if you ate the entire thing its still better than the chocolate biscuits etc so I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm going cherry picking Thursday morning and I know that the punnett won't be lasting long in my fridge so I certainly hope over indulging in fruit isn't a problem.

 

[Michillinwoman]

Hi Karen and Miff. Yes Galia melon when really ripe is so sweet and delish. I know I could have done worse but I seem to crave fruit now !!!! .(especially sweet red apples,sweet melons and pears)Think my body is saying "Ill get sugar someway " . Thats the reason I have to keep it to 3-4 portions a day or it would set off a sugar binge for me. Luckily enough last night I was going to bed anyway..

WasWorking out carbonara today

Jar of dolmio carbonara pasta bake..20pp
1/2 ptk(100g) low-low cheddar ......10pp
250g wholemeal pasta.(dry)...................25pp
4* back rashers................................4pp

Total = 59 pts for 4 people so 1/4 would be 15 pts approx .. going to have itfor dinner now with salad

The tomatoe pasta sauces are less of course but hubbie wont eat that for me

 

[CarlyLanky140]

Enjoy carbonara! I make my own with Philly, bacon n cheese - yummy!

And 30 mins on a treadmill is great! Unfortunately I hate the gym so it's DVDs/classes/swim all the way for me ... xx

 

[Michillinwoman]

You must post that recipe for me please Carly . I love pasta carbonara but the dolmio sauce is so high.

Me and exercise have a strange relationship !!!!!!!!!! . I have to mix it up or I get bored of the same thing so the GYM will be fine now for a few weeks until I get bored.. then will have to have another plan. I saw today that the gym does zumba classes. Do you think these will be full of skinny minis or will there be a few velumptious ladies around . Dont want to stick out like a sore thumb. . I should ring and ask them what fitness level should you be at to do the class i suppose.

 

[CarlyLanky140]

Pasta (however much u want) and then I use half a tub of extra light Philli - 3pp with 6 bacon medallions (4pp) and then I sprinkle low fat cheese... U can put an egg in but don't have to... Yummy!! Cx

 

[DoingItForMe]

Eating a whole melon in times of a binge is most impressive, wish I could do the same Seriously melon is predominantly water so you did really well - eating the equivalent weight of bananas, I'm sure, wouldn't be so good for you. Great choice all round. 30 minutes on a treadmill is fabulous too so double well done

Good luck for WI tomorrow.
