Its Thursday, and I have been OP...I have a tupperware box of salad in my handbag, and a small tin of weight watchers tuna with sweetcorn, and a weight watchers all day snack bar. I wonder if we get different WW products here in the UK? I have not seen smoothies or anything at the meeting, but none of you have mentioned the heavenly WW chocolate crisp bar which is 1.5 points, and I can buy in boxes of 5 at the meeting. It has real chocolate on it, and I think it just might get me through this. Each bar is quite tiny (hence 1.5 pts
) but at least it is chocolate.
Tuna steaks are wonderful! I do them in a marinade of soy sauce, lime juice, fresh grated ginger, honey (count the point for it), and sometimes a bit of balsamic vinegar if it needs more depth. It is quite 'kicky' then. I use the left over marinade as a sauce, or to dress a salad to go with.
J-Ann FANTASTIC!!!!! You got your key ring!!! Yes!! That is the 10%er isnt it? Oh that is so wonderful! And you have worked so hard to get there! I am so pleased for you - really really chuffed! I feel a bit tearful! Good for you.
Bunny - ouch, desk on foot is not nice. Glad you got your office sorted.
Cindy - Kew is indeed lovely. I have annual membership there and walk there quite often. I love the 'filmy fern house' (largely because I like saying 'filmy fern' 'filmy fern' 'filmy fern'!). Sounds like its as hot in your part of the world as it is in one of those glasshouses. Keep on keeping on. Weighing in really helped me to get real - not beatmyselfup real, just 'oh, ok, that is about 45 pounds more than I thought it was going to be...' (honestly! eeek!).
Geri - I do baked fries using sweet potatoe, and mixing a teaspoon of cumin, with one of coriander, and one of cinnamon, and a bit of soy or balsamic vinegar, and tossing the sweet potato in it, and baking for about 45 mins...yum!!!!
Diane - pleased to 'meet' you! And definitely post when feeling poo-ey. I certainly would want just as much to hear from you then as in the better times. After all, what is support for? And that cycle seat...hmm...I know where it goes...(ouch
)
Canadian - Hope the cold is working its way through. And yes, the energy of teens! We should get bonus points just from watching them....
Maggie - hope Maggies Plan is going well! My breath is bated!
Terri - I am completely inspired by the idea of doing 100 miles a day in 6 months time (although I have to say it sounds completely impossible from where I am sitting (ouch) now
. What a pain, your husband not being clear about what it is about the tuna dish he didnt like. It does not give you much to go on!
Have a good day everyone!
Love from a thunderstormy day (its just gone so overcast I am going to have to put the light on).
Rainy day forgot my umberella!
