MWWWD (or Moonwatcher's Weight Watchers Diary!)

Coming back to WW from tomorrow, so am resurrecting this diary. Hello old friend!
 
Food for today, Thursday 18th July

My WI will be Saturdays again, so today and tomorrow will just be the end of this week. I will start again with 49 weeklies on Saturday, so am simply planning to keep a note of my points today and tomorrow, rather than wait until Saturday to start counting.

Breakfast - one oz porridge oats made with Kara coconut milk and water, plus sweetener (5PP)

Elevenses - boss brought in a cream and jam iced sponge cake so had a teeny piece, but it was very, very sweet - too sweet for me, so left a lot if it.(4PP)

Lunch - WW pitta bread with cheese and tomato and a scraping of mayo, fresh pineapple (10PP)

After school - two-thirds of a hot cross bun with butter, one coffee and cream (9PP)

Went back to school for the year 6 induction evening, then walked down the town to get something for tomorrow's lunch and picked up a white Danish loaf...

Dinner - bacon sandwich with HP, three plums (7PP)

Drinks - water

Not a very healthy day, but better than it would have been if I had just waited until Saturday to start counting!

Total PPs for the day: 35 - 29 dailies, 6 weeklies
 
Hi Em,

Yes it wasn't too bad - like to get more veggies in ideally, but yesterday wasn't a 'normal' day in any way - 11 working hours after waking up at 2.30 am!

My actual week will really start tomorrow after my Saturday WI, but I wanted to keep a bit of a count of my PPs, as otherwise it is easy to go crazy waiting for the 'proper' week to start!
 
Busy, busy day today, but finally up to the end of the last full week of term. We do have three days next week - Monday to Wednesday, but they are Activities 'week' so I will be spending it with about 15 pupils who will be producing an art or textiles piece of work of their choice, so not exactly hard work for me! Thank God the school year is nearly over though - absolutely shattered tonight. We had next year's year 7 in today for the full day. They were great, but glad it's over!

So, OH is out getting his laptop mended and I am taking the opportunity for a bit of a minis catch up and some recipe drooling over all the lovely food I can cook over the coming hols!

Food for today, Friday 19th July (proper full WW week starts tomorrow)

Breakfast - two slices of danish loaf toasted, with butter and marmite. Oh, this was soooo good! (10PP)

Lunch - a Spar's own brand Moroccan Chicken Couscous salad with mint yogurt, a small punnet of cherries (8PP)

Snacks in the SEN departmet room - two Quality Street, two small breadsticks, one choc chip cookie (11PP)

Snack at home - half a park of cheese and onion crinkle crisps (2PP)

Dinner (having this when OH gets in) spicy chicken salad and roast veg with bbq sauce (10PP)

Drinks - one coffee with cream (2PP) water, one cup of lavender earl grey tea with a dash of milk, water

Totals - 43PP - 29 dailies and 14 weeklies

Quick walk around the block and what seemed like several rounds of the school today with the newbies, but probably won't record exercise points unless it is 'proper' exercise, as I'm not planning to use APs earned.
 
Change of plan last night. OH was home earlier than expected so we popped out for an Indian. Haven't had one in ages and really enjoyed it. Absolutely no idea of the points, but it sees me at 15st 7.2 lbs on the scales this morning! Still, some of it will be water weight, not only from the Indian, but from the switch up to the carbs, so not too worried. This is a new week. Still very tired so planning to have a pottering weekend - a bit of gardening and some housework. Will report back in with food later. Toast and tea for breakfast though!
 
Saturday 20th July

Had a pretty lazy day today and also quite a 'snacky' type of day. I do tend to do that more at weekends anyway. Finally managed to fit in some food shopping this afternoon, so have some stocks of gluten free stuff in which is good, as I have definitely felt the effects of the bread etc these last few days. Also have a full fruit bowl again. I really missed fruit on low carb/Atkins.

Breakfast - two slices of a white Danish loaf with butter and marmite. (10PP)

Was so tired, even after a good night's sleep, that I went back to bed and slept until lunchtime!

Lunch - houmous, salad leaves, beetroot, tomatoes, pickled jalapeno chillies, olives and two thirds of a WW pitta bread. The rest disintegrated as I got it out of the packet. I'll stick to ordinary ones in future I think! Fresh plums. (7PP)

This evening - two gluten free crumpets, toasted, with low fat sweet chilli philadelphia, one slice of cheddar, spring onions and cherry tomatoes, black grapes. (9PP)

Snacks - one salami stick, one cocoa orange Nakd bar (7PP) grapes

Drinks - earl grey teas - ordinary, lavender and rose (1PP for semi skimmed milk) one coffee with spray cream (1PP) water

Total = 35 PP - 29 dailies and 6 weeklies. 43 weeklies remaining.

Hi moonwatcher, whats your name?

Hi and nice to see you over here on the 'other side.' :D

I'm Pat. I always call you Goldi, but do you prefer Lauren?
 
Sounds like a good start back on WW. When i very briefly tried low carb going back to being able to have fruit in an inrestricted away again was great. Its sometimes not the things you think you will miss the most that you do.

3 more days left for the holidays must be fabulous. Looking forward to seeing (and probably stealing) all your recipes ;)
 
Sunday 21st July

Well I have had an extremely lazy weekend this weekend. Apart from the very basics like washing up after meals, food shopping and clothes washing, we have done absolutely nothing except laze around with books, tv and computers. I really needed a couple of days like that and feel so much better for it. I can always catch up with housework etc. over the holidays. I have managed to see off quite a few weeklies today.

Breakfast - cinnamon and raisin bagel with butter and a drizzle of maple syrup (10PP)

Lunch - 2 sweet onion ryvita with l/f sweet chilli Philadelphia, tesco coconut yogurt with lime juice and pineapple. (6PP)

Evening fry up - this was more PPs than I had originally planned because OH got to the packet of bacon before me. For some reason he finds it impossible to cook part of a packet of anything! He also cooked the whole packet of chipolatas, but I did manage to resist the extras there!

So... 4 bacon rashers, 3 pork chipolatas, tomatoes, mushrooms, half a slice of gluten free seeded bread, one fried egg, squirt of HP sauce, tbspn olive oil, strawberries, sweetener and spray cream, plus two tspns double cream (19PP)

Snacks - one gluten free cranberry and blueberry muffin (9PP) one salami stick (3PP)

Drinks - water, one coffee with cream (2PP) s/s milk in earl grey teas (1PP)

Totals for the day 50PP! (29 dailies and 21 weeklies with 22 weeklies remaining)

Three days at school to go, then lovely long holidays!

Lunch for tomorrow is ham and blue brie salad - with our own home grown salad and rocket leaves and cucumber. I love it when I can start to pick our own stuff to use. A bit late starting this year, but plenty more to come. Apart from the red currants that is. The birds stripped every last one of them - the OH had two and I had none at all. Serves us right for not netting them. Don't really begrudge the birds having them though!
 
Sounds like a lovely yummy sunday and I am all in favour of lazy sundays. Apart from when we go off for one of our walks in the peak district our sundays always look a bit like that - napping, tv, computers and books and food. Nothing else required :)

Hope the next 3 days goes pleasantly and quickly. Have you got anything planned for the holidays? Is OH off for some or all of it?
 
OH is off for quite a lot of it Atomic. No definite plans yet, bu will probably get some camping in, and plenty of beach walking!

Well, what a mixed day today. Was hoping for a nice easy three days this week, but had to start the day by taking a particularly difficult pupil to task for her rudeness to and about one of 'my' pupils. Woah-hoah! She was a lot better behaved afterwards though! Don't mess with me - especially with downright rudeness and nastiness to someone less fortunate than yourself! (Rolls sleeves up! :cool:)

Then got home (35 degrees - whaaaaat?) to a message from the OH that they have had an emergency at work and he won't be in until at least 7.00pm, probaby later as a whole load of ambulances, fire engines and police cars have just gone past him at speed!

Will update food later. Having a cuppa and a quick catch up before thinking about food and ironing! :(
 
OOooh, that's quite a day for both of you by the sounds of it. Very glad you got the opportunity to "counsel" the pupil regarding their behaviour. That sort of thing really riles me as well, and working in mental health something that I come across all to often from councils, benefits agency etc. All adults that really should know better.

Camping and walks by the beach sound like a lovely lovely way to spend the summer. Well, possibly minus the camping in my case, but I presume that's campervan camping rather than tent camping which sounds far far more civilised and appealing to me. I'm on my second week of annual leave this week and really really not looking forward to having to go back to work next week. Grumble. Especially if it hasn't cooled down quite considerably. I don't think we've quite got to your 35 today but its about 31 and so so stuffy. Was lovely and cool and cloudy this morning.

What's on the menu for dinner tonight?
