Weekly Weight Loss Week 30



This week I lost 1/2lb.

I did hope for more but I can understand why I ‘only’ lost the 1/2lb – I didn’t eat enough.

My excuse? Actually, for once it is a genuine excuse: my wisdom tooth is growing into my cheek and for the last week has been really hurting and cutting further into the cheek. I should have it checked out but it only plays up every now and then.

However, the pain meant that I ate very little. With Weight Watchers, everyone is meant to eat a minimum of 26 per day and I couldn’t even reach that most days.

I’m very happy that I lost 1/2lb with all that in mind.

What Will I Do This Week?

My tooth has stopped hurting and the cut in my cheek is healing so I can get back to eating normally. Hopefully this week I’ll lose a pound to reach my Silver Seven target.

I’m going to keep doing everything I have, including tracking and activity. Now that the sun is out more, I’m going to get out with Kathryn in the buggy more. I’m also going to look at a few exercise classes in the area since I really want to get some more activity in on a night. There’s Zumba and Metafit that I’m interested in on a Monday and Tuesday night…I’ve just got to hope that hubby has the evenings free to watch after madam!

How has your weight loss been? I hope you’ve met your targets. Maybe you’ve had problems like me this week. Feel free to share – support is really important when losing weight.

Halloween Party Ideas to Lose Weight

If you’re hosting a Halloween party this year, the idea of weight loss during this time can be daunting. Even if you’re not hosting the party, the thought of dealing with all the candy and chocolates can be terrifying when you’re losing weight. Here are a few Halloween party ideas to help you stay in control in the run-up and on the night. Have Some Healthy but Fun Snacks Image: Alexandria Ingham You don’t just need to get chocolates, candies and cookies in. Why not have some fun with some healthy snacks? I loved making some of these last year, and did mini orange pumpkins and banana ghouls.  I blogged about some fun Halloween party ideas last year, and you can find that blog post here . If you’re hosting the party, put them out for your guests. Even if they don’t want to eat them, you have something to enjoy.

Why Eating Fruit and Vegetables Isn’t Enough to Lose Weight

Image
I received a message yesterday from someone looking for some weight loss support. She mentioned that she was eating lots of fruit and vegetables but still not losing weight. Okay, well, eating fruit and vegetables isn’t enough to lose weight. Yes, really! While eating fruit and vegetables can help—it certainly gets you your nutrients—it isn’t going to give you everything your body needs. In fact, too many fruit and vegetables can lead to weight gain. And you need to look at all the other stuff you’re eating! Be honest with yourself. So, let’s look at this in stages… Eating too much of a good thing is bad Yes, you really can eat too much of a good thing. Want to know why? Because you run the risk of not getting a balanced diet. While you get your fibre and nutrients from fruit and vegetables, you need to get carbohydrates, protein, and some fats. Yes, your body needs fat! By the way, fruit is full of natural sugar. While it’s not as bad for you as...

Weight Watchers Recipe: Curried Butternut Squash Soup

Image
The cold weather is closing in. It’s at the point where we’re looking at soups, stews and dishes to make in the slow cooker. We need something hot when it comes to dinner time. Image: Pixabay We decided to do a curried butternut squash soup, and I’ve got to admit that it is absolutely delicious. It’s definitely one to try again. The best thing is that you can make it as mild or as spicy as you want. We used a mild curry powder because my husband isn’t a fan of very spicy food, and neither is my daughter, really. If you’re on Weight Watchers, the recipe is zero points once split between six (the number it serves) and great for the Simple Start/Filling and Healthy plans. The only downside is the cooking time. It takes an hour to cook because the butternut squash needs softening to get the good stuff out of it. I’m making it again tonight, so I’ll make sure there is a photo of my efforts this time.
