Never had one but seen them! I do like ice cream but its not something I really indulge in, I often forget about it!! Although in this heat!!

I have had a nice relaxing lazy day today, don't get many of them so I made the most of it. Went to the cinema again tonight which was great because I had already factored in the points for my ice cream! I am feeling quite tired from my day of doing nothing, so I am off to bed once I have typed out today's eats:

Breakfast - 2 slices Warbutons Toastie (from small loaf) toasted = 4 pp
15g smooth peanut butter = 3 pp
Cup of coffee

Lunch -2 Slices Warburtons toastie bread = 4 pp
2 Lowlow cheese slices for toasties, sliced red onion = 2 pp
(obv I made a toastie!)
Bag of Twisted flamin' hot from multipack = 3 pp

Dinner - Tesco light choices frozen mushroom risotto = 10 pp
Weight Watchers garlic petits pains = 5 pp

1.5 scoops of Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough ice cream = 7
Morrisons NuMe raspberry fruit bar = 3 pp

Total pp used today = 41
Weeklys used = 9
Weeklys left = 9

I am very aware that I haven't been having enough fruit and veg this week - I will try to up it a bit next week, I don't mind salad and vegetables at all, but I really don't like very much fruit. I will buy some tinned fruit next week, I prefer it to fresh! Last day tomorrow before WI, I still have 9 weekly pp to have tomorrow, so it has worked out quite well this week I think x

Well done - you're doing really well!!

So you've been to the cinema twice this week - what to see?? I hardly ever go, but fancy a trip so anything you can recommend?

Weds I went with my daughter (orange weds!) and we saw The Internship with Owen Wilson & Vince Vaughn, we both thought it was really good. Today I went with a neighbour and her young daughter to see Monsters University (kids film) that was quite good surprisingly. I quite often get to see the 'kids' films as my neighbour doesn't drive but she gets free tickets from someone that works at the cinema, so it would be rude not to take advantage - I drive them there and back, I get a trip to the cinema for free - everyone is happy!

Hi, just popping in to subscribe.

I found you and have subscribed to your diary. I am new to this site but am loving the encouragement and advice already. Excellent seeing other's diaries, will be picking up some good ideas.

 

[the_last_time]

Ah monsters university, I loved the two previous to this, so sure I'd enjoy it too! The internship looks hilarious too, I like both those guys & anything that features 'adults' vs 20 year olds cracks me up!!!

 

[the_last_time]

I should add only because most of my colleagues are at school or uni & they think I'm ancient & don't know what fun is just because I chose not to partake anymore!!! I used to be like that once...so can't complain, it just makes be smile!

Hey Sweetie Just been catching up on your diary as didn't have chance yesterday! Your food looks so yummy, using those Weeklies has definitely given you some scrummy treats ;-) Some people (ie me) use their Weeklies in 'one hit' which is normally a Saturday but others add 7 extra pp a day so yours would be 39pp a day rather than 32pp. The main reason I don't do the latter is because I am veggie I find 26pp plenty on a daily basis and therefore don't need to increase it to 33pp if that makes sense?!? Hope u have a good Sunday, any plans? X

Hi, no plans at all today, a nice relaxing day again. I can't believe my first week has gone so smoothly... I have actually really enjoyed my food this week, I haven't felt at all hungry or deprived! I think I will get more used to the weekly pp as time goes on, as I said before, if I know I am going to a party or something, I will def save them for it - I like that you can have the choice to have a few more each day, or have a big blow out and have them all at once! I am feeling really positive that this time I am in it until target, I have never ever got to target before. I have done every diet under the sun for the last 30 years on and off, I have had enough now, this time it's for good! Loving this site, it's new to me (can't believe I didn't know about it before!). The support and encouragement is brilliant.

What are you up to today? What's for dinner?

Sounds as though you've done perfectly I'm definitely a minimins addict!!! I've been doing WW for just over 9 Weeks now and I can honestly say Ive never stuck to a diet for that long before, I normally end up cheating or blowing it, with ww that doesn't happen as you can use your weeklies, amazing!!! Not sure on food today as I'm picnicking later, need to get some pp friendly bits from morrissons!!!x Do u have anything yummy planned?x

YES!!! 12.30! I am quite excited really, I am looking forward to seeing what has happened. I have been sitting here wondering whether to have my last 9 weekly pp? I have had a tobelerone, only a small 5 pp one, sitting in my fridge all week and tonight I have had it because I had the spare weekly pp left! I am quite chuffed with myself actually. Going to WI knowing that I have been 100% by the book this week x

 

[the_last_time]

That's great, glad you're feeling good & positive about it. Did you mention your daughter is doing it with you? Hope she's enjoying it too! I always feel empowered when I get back on the plan &
in control!!

Sunday 21st July

My food diary today is a bit unusual... something strange happened today... I FORGOT to have lunch!!! I was sitting outside with a couple of my neighbours and we were so busy having a laugh and gossiping that by the time I went in it was past 3 o'clock. Now this never happens - I am usually a midday lunch kind of girl, sometimes even 11.30! It threw me because then I didn't know whether to have a late lunch or early dinner. I went for the early dinner which really filled me up, which left me lots of pp for snacking . I know it's not healthy to miss a meal, and it probably won't happen again. I was gobsmacked, I couldn't believe my tummy didn't tell me it was lunchtime. Maybe it was the walk to the shops this morning? Who knows! Anyway, here is todays food:

Breakfast - 2 slices Warburtons Toastie (from small loaf) = 4 pp
15g smooth peanut butter = 3 pp

Lunch - DIDN'T HAVE ANY COZ I DIDN'T REALISE IT WAS LUNCHTIME OMG STILL IN SHOCK!!

Dinner - Weight Watchers lasagne = 6 pp
Lovely big salad took up half the plate = 0 pp
2 tbsp Lighter than light mayo = 1 pp
2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce = 1 pp
25g crispy onions = 4 pp

Weight Watchers Lemon Cheesecake = 5 pp
NuMe Raspberry Fruit bar = 3 pp
Tobelerone 35g = 5 pp
1 bottle of Coors Light lager = 3 pp
Walkers salt & vinegar french fries = 2 pp

Total pp used today = 37
Weeklys used = 5
Weeklys left = 4

Phew I made it through my first week, without any dramas. I actually enjoyed it! Can't wait to find out what the results of my effort will be tomorrow. I am taking mum food shopping in the morning, then straight off to WI. I will be on tomorrow afternoon to let you know how I get on. Thanks for all your help and encouragement this first week ladies x

Yes, she will be with me. She said just now 'if I have been this good all week and haven't lost any weight...' I stopped her and told her that she will have lost weight! We will have no negative attitude in this house from now on haha x
