Ok so yesterday didnt go brilliantly. But I realised I always started on a friday morn reset so gona continue with that as of today.
Another unplanned day today so will have to sit down and work out how many points ive used before i decide what to have for dinner.

But feel really focused. Little things like ive tidied the house, unpacked my bags from christmas, sorted monies out etc. Feel able to sit now and plan my food aswel.

Ok so im at work overnight tomorrow night. We usually have a takeaway on a Saturday night. Im not sure I want any but unless I can think of something really yummy to cook for myself instead, I know ill give in (past experiences).....

So just incase..... I was thinking of sweet & sour chicken which WW points as 13pp. I know its the never ending conversation about how much do WW count as a portion etc...
So I was thinking if I shared it with one of the lads (they'd only eat half aswel anyway) then I could point my half at 13 easily..... and boil 4 pp rice myself at work. 17 not bad for Saturday takeaway and feel good about being bad....

What do ye think???

That sounds good, we usually have a takeaway on a Saturday so I be saving my weekly's for then if we have one. It's really hard to pp takeways as portion sizes etc but that seems about right x

Yeah id really love it they put some size/weight attached to their points. I know they still cant guarantee how each place will exactly cook their dishes but it would be more accurate than it is at the moment.....

But rule of thumb does seem to be that the points they give is about half a takeaway porton so may aswel go with that.

I wouldn't bother having a takeaway at home every weekend. Doesn't bother me-I prefer my lunches out with the girls etc or a caramel latte etc but its kinda ingrained in our heads now-if you work on a Saturday evening, you get takeaway....

What do you usually get?

Exactly would be so much easier if they did put pics of takeaway portions, so we didn't have to guesstimate!
We don't have takeaway every weekend but it was easier when I was calorie counting as Saturday's was my treat day Most of time we have Chinese, I usually have chicken chow mien, chicken fried rice, 2 chicken balls or sometimes we order pizza then diet goes completely out window but next day I do try and be extra good x

Ah they all sound yum. I know, sometimes its hard to get back on the wagon but I find if I plan it well enough I should be ok. Plus ill be stuck at work til 10am sunday so hopefully I wont pick too much after takeaway.

I know, im making everyone hungry on a Friday night.

ya, I usually like crispy shredded chicken or chicken balls if im very bad so I think this is a nice, slightly healthier compromise

Don't have an options but have WW hot choc which I might make alright and have WW instant whip stuff which I might make to bring to work with me to snack on tomorrow evening. Thinking also I might have to hide all the chocolate at work tomorrow, somewhere its just not easy to pick at.

 

[Shez__x]

Yep, just gona drink a pint of cordial first. Don't drink enough water when im at home. Good for it at work, but not at home. Also it'll fill me up.
Then hot choc and off to bed.
