Smart Points Stop Dieting, Start Living

[UKSerena]

It's basicly just porridge oats, a bit of yogurt, an egg and a little bit of baking powder.
Baked in the oven for half hour lol. It's rally tasty. My mum adds fruit to hers before she bakes it but I add mine after

Can you upload a pic when you next have it? I can't eat porridge due to ibs but wonder if this way might be more digestible? X

Hey everyone! Hope you've all had a fab Saturday!

Weigh in this morning! 3.1lbs off again! Happy its consistent! I was a bit down about not having a bigger loss the first week back after christmas but if I can keep this up I will be over the moon!
3lbs a week means 5 stone by the time I go on holiday at the end of June! so Keep your fingers crossed for consistency for me!!

I went to kettlebells this am! For some reason it always seems so much harder on a Saturday morning than on a Sunday afternoon or a Tuesday eve! But never mind I went anyway!!

I don't eat anything before kettlebells because I would see it in reverse halfway through my class so made up for that with a cooked breakfast when I came home!
Cooked by my fantastic boyfriend!

Brunch
2 extra lean chicken breast sausage (3SP)
4 bacon medallions (2SP)
1 warburtons thin (3SP)
2 scrambled eggs (4SP)
1/2 pack M&S parmentier potatoes (7SP)

Total 19SP


Dinner
CHINESE :O
1/2 tray Chicken fried Rice
2 Chicken balls
Curry Sauce
Chips (home made actifry)
Duck with pancakes (shop bought so pointed from packet)

Total 31SP

As far as dinner goes I don't think I'm too far off points wise!

However! After dinner my mother did the unspeakable and brought out the chocolate fondue!!!

I did scan the chocolate used with my app and allowed for a whole bar.. which worked out at 30SP.. I think I've over estimated this but better safe than sorry.....

So that brings todays total to a whopping 80SP!!!!!!

I have 9 weeklies left

I did earn 19 Fitpoints though so its not all bad!

Looking forward to Kettlebells tomorrow to hopefully burn some of it off

Night everyone! hope you have a lovely weekend!

Just catching up after not really being online for a week. Big congratulations to your loss - that is pretty epic As was the tastiness that followed!

Just out of interest how are you tracking your kettlebells classes in terms of intensity? I am struggling to decide what intensity to track a lot of my gym time at still with the new system.

Remember that any loss is going in the right direction and none of us are going anywhere, we will be here every step of the way. X

Oh my days the food was Devine haha. I've been very good today though!

I just put it into the activity tracker on my Fitbit and it does it for me I would say kettlebells was high intensity though. I can barely breathe when I'm doing th class haha!

I know. I am really pleased with my loss as before Christmas I was trying VERY hard and losing next to nothing so 3lb a week is a massive improvement!!


How have your weekends been ladies?

Hey guys!!

So yesterday I didn't eat very much.. partly to make up for Saturdays binge fest! partly because kettlebells was at one o'clock and i don't get up early enough to eat before without the fear of being sick during! haha

Kettlebells yesterday was insanely hard! It was with a different instructor, He's a fantastic instructor but he thinks that everyone is just as fit as he is and they can all do the things that he does!..MASSIVELY MISTAKEN lol so basically I nearly died haha

If my o/h is working on a sunday i tend to go to my mums straight from the gym!
I did have some ham and Wotsits when i got there just to tide me over until dinner was ready!

Dinner was cottage pie peas carrots and gravy... I didn't eat my mash though cause mum put butter in it and I don't like butter
I made up for that with a bread roll hot from the oven though

I didn't have a clue how to point dinner... I tried to point the ingredients but its still only a guesstimate!

Yeah It was basically just mince in gravy lol! Was massively yum though! Partly because i was starving from the exercise and partly because I didn't have to cook it lol!!

I feel like I've really got back into it now! Everything is starting to make sense again and I don't feel like i'm being deprived of anything at all...
Life is good!!

how is your week going??
