Weekly Weight Loss Weeks 14 and 15

I realised yesterday that over the last couple of weeks I haven't posted my weight loss or updated my blog. In fact, I haven't updated any of my blogs! Shame on me! I am sorry; I've been working long hours and studying in between but I will start updating more regularly.

So, over the last two weeks I have lost 2lb. The first week I lost nothing so the weight loss has actually been from this week.

What Happened?

The first week, I deserved to have a gain at the scales and was very happy with staying the same. I didn't track anything that I hate and just pretended that everything was going to be fine. I was extremely exhausted. I know I shouldn't make excuses but my lack of tracking is the reason for not losing weight that week.

So I Changed That and Lost!

I knew I had to make a change and start losing weight again. Last week I tracked everything that I ate. However, I was still lucky to lose weight. I had actually eaten more than my propoints allowance would let me. I was doing really well up until Sunday and then the Superbowl happened. Even though I'm in the UK, I still watch it and we always have pizza and snacks out. I was -13 in propoints by Monday and had to try hard to claim them back through exercise (but that didn't happen).

On Track So Far This Week

My weigh-in isn't until Wednesday but so far I am on track. I still have 29 of my weekly propoints and there are no big things coming up over the next couple of days. Hopefully I will see another loss at the scales and will hit my target of losing that next half a stone. I'm hoping to have lost 2st. since starting Weight Watchers by my birthday on March 8!

How have you been the last couple of weeks? Hopefully a lot better than me! See you next week!

Halloween Party Ideas to Lose Weight

Image
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. If you’re attending a party, take a platter of your creations with you and share with your friends. That can be your hostess gift. Set a...

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.
