Ended up having a bit of a snack attack last night and think I went over by about 3 points and already over my weeklies so not holding my breath for wi. I don't mind cos it's my own fault and I'll just try harder.
Today so far:
Breakfast
2 Wholemeal rusks (don't ask, I love 'em!) 4pp
150 ml semi-skimmed milk 2pp
Apple 0pp
Lunch
Brown roll with wafer thin ham, salad and mustard 4pp
Snacks
Velvet crunch 2pp
Dairylea Dunker 3pp
So 15pp used and 11 left. Have hardly anything in the house and OH has the car and is working late tonight. I'm also not starving so thinking of making roasted butternut squash, beetroot red onion and goats cheese for dinner and then I might have a hot choc before bed. That'll still leave 5pp for day but wi is tomorrow and I think in the last week I've learned I really need to plan my days and not blow all my pps on Thursdays, haha!
Writing this diary is helping though as I can see where I can make changes. For example I think I spend too many points on snacks (I'm a total snacker, this is why I'm on WW in first place) so think I'm gonna stop buying Dairylea Dunkers and snack more on fruit. I'm also gonna try and use more points in my actual meals. And I will try and spread the weeklies. Maybe use a few at the weekend for some gins and the rest for more at meal times (i.e. more good stuff). Anyway, that's the plan.......
Hope you guys are well!

Can always count the three points over from activity points ;0) yup writing a diary on here definitely helps.Lol no worries with the rusks,I know other grown ups who like them ;0) as to the weeklies... I am planning on doing the same thing,spreading them out more! Good luck with wi tomorrow.

Thanks Daisy, guess I'll find out tomorrow! Don't actually think I have enough activity points to cover what I've gone over my weeklies, oops!
And rusks are amazing but I don't eat them too much cos they're not the most filling. I don't even have kids and when I do they'll be on the weetabix while I'm on the rusks, haha!

Well done on only using 10 weeklies on your night out :0)

I know, I was surprised but determined not to use too many after last week!
Today's plan
Breakfast
20g porridge with water 2pp
Apple 0pp
Lunch
Roasted veg with goat's cheese 5pp
50ml semi-skimmed milk for coffees 1pp
That's as far as I've planned as need to go shopping later so will update tonight. I've now finished the Dairylea Dunkers so gonna try and just have a packet of Velvet Crunch and maybe a hot choc a day as snacks and see if I can manage as I'd like to get out of the habit of snacking. For some reason when I feel like a nibble the thought of fruit doesn't appeal. I have a pineapple and a few tins of fruit cocktail so will try snacking on them and hopefully convince my brain that they're good, haha! If anyone has any other ideas for 'good' things to snack on let me know.

We didn't go shopping yesterday so plan to go when OH finishes work this evening. Then he's going to make dinner. But I have 17 points left for the day. Don't think dinner will be very high points-wise. Might have some toast later too. It's not very often I need to worry about not using up points!
I'll let you all know later how I ended up blowing those 17 pp. Hoping OH doesn't bring home another bottle of wine!

That's nice the OH is cooking.I too like a snack but snack on fruit,choc and crisps lol but as I'm going to start using my weeklies at home more I want to use them wisely aswell as for treats(like a ice cream sundae)sometimes :0)
*Marianne*
Full Member
Mmmm, ice cream sundae! Saw the pic of the ones you made and they looked fab! Just remembered last night we made ice lollies with fruit smoothie so will probably have one of them. It's innocent smoothie so think it'll be 1 or 2 pp so guess that's healthy snacking!
I'm lucky, OH loves to cook and he's quite healthy. He usually makes curries from scratch and they're amazing.
Mmmmm, I'm all hungry again now........ I swear, coming on this site in the morning is dangerous, haha!
I know what you mean about weeklies, like it would be better to bulk out a meal with something healthy rather than spending it on crisps or choc. That's what I want to do. I think I need to start eating more meat and also OH made a good suggestion yesterday of bulking out risottos and pastas with a tin of beans (kidney beans or butter beans) cos it'll add points but in a good way. So think I'll go with that.

Thanks about the sundae,your lollies sound nice :0) Mmm to curry,lucky you hehe! Yea your OH made a good point there about the beans.I also have some stuff in the freezer that we got before starting WW so can use some weeklies when need to eat them up so to speak.
*Marianne*
Full Member
That's a good idea actually. I'm terrible for freezing stuff and then forgetting about it so have loads of lasagnas and chillis and who knows what else. Might do that later in the week if I still have weeklies left. I'll be using some tomorrow as it's Father's Day and I'm going to meet my parents in town for lunch/dinner and some drinks.
