breda's ww diary to good health

[Michillinwoman]

Thanks Micheala . Melon is so yum. In France last year (in Charantes) they have the most beautiful melons (sell them at the side of the road.)They are orange colour in the middle when ripe . I ate loads of them . I know I could have done worse i suppose.

I really enjoyed my pasta carbonara bake this evening and I was delighted that I was able to limit myself to 1/4 of it with salad because before hubby and I would have woofed it between us. (1/2 each) (ment for four) Its nice to know you can have nice meals if you have controlled portions.

Best of luck tonight .

Hi Breda, just wondering about bread. I was counting 2 slices of bread as 4 pps like you do. Then I read on some of the threads here that 2 slices of bread is 5pps! I checked the NI on the bread I use (IrishPride Healthy Grain) and 2 slices were 5pps! What do you make of this?

 

[Michillinwoman]

Hi Ellen, I use the McCambridge all the time . I was just following the book as 1 medium slice (35g) =2pp . In the old system it used to be a point a slice . I have seen other people use 5pp for two slices all right. I suppose I just didnt want to change. !!!!!!!!! . What weight are two slices of the granary bread you use ?.

 

[CarlyLanky140]

Think u need to check for the particular bread xx

 

[Michillinwoman]

That makes more sense as you say Carly.

Discovered in super valu today . The mini ice cream pots are back at 2pp each. I used to love them before . So you could have a nice dessert at night of Jelly, ice-cream and fruit for just 2 pp . Happy days. Hope they continue to get them now :wave_cry:

Also got mint and chocolate sundae 4pp had one tonight as the rest had romantica and really enjoyed it and didnt feel one bit deprived.

Had one glass of wine tonight . (btter than a bottle last week ) .
