Those Scales

I have replaced my 'Weight Watchers' Body Analyser scales. I really need to know all the gory details of my weigh ins.


I weighed in this morning using my new scales and because I knew I was getting my new scales I confess to not tracking points over these last few days, but here are a few of my details for now without the body fat, body water and body fat %. I will figure out how to find the body fat etc details and update them here.

Weight: 15st . 2 3/8lb
10% Goal: 13st . 9lb
BMI: 36.5
To Lose To 10%: 1st . 7 3/4lb

It has taken a matter of a few days and already I have gained back what I had lost....oh my!

This morning I have started my day off with a green smoothie...YUM! I had bought some fresh figs when we were at Costco so I threw one of those in also.

"Thankyou Chargaile for your comment, I appreciate all comments, thankyou!"

I will pop back later today with more updates.

Busy Lately

We have been busy shopping over the last few days with stocking up on groceries and starting the Christmas shopping.

First thing was to stock up on more items from Weight Watchers:


2 Weight Watchers, 'My Food Plans' which also has a pad for shopping lists
2 boxes of the 'Rich Toffee' bars = 2pp each
2 boxes of the NEW 'Dark Chocolate Mint Crunch' bars = 2pp each
4 packets of 'Fruit Bears' = 2pp per packet
1 Weight Watchers 'Oil Sprayer'

After popping into the local 'Weight Watchers' meeting we then went to Costco. It was lovely and quiet in there, but then it would be we were in there at about 9.40am but it started to fill up before we were finished getting our groceries. I spent way to much, it came in at £279.38...Oops! I had to buy more than I usually do because I had to stock up on coffee, chickens, hand washes, body washes etc

After Costco we came home to put everything away. It was then to Argos to get our youngest son a new mobile phone, he needed one because he is now at college.
We spent a few hours at home and then Asda to get the immediate items i.e. cheeses, yogurts, fruit and veg, mini pizza bases, mash pots, chicken kievs, toiletries.

We had a bag of chip shop chips for our evening meal and I have to confess to not tracking over these last 3 days...so disappointed in myself because I had every intention of not leaving the house hungry and sticking to plan on this shopping day but I succumb to naughty treats....I really am going to be more organised when I next do my big grocery shop....a work in progress.

I have ordered a new set of 'Weight Watchers' scales; body analysis scales so I will know my body fat and BMI. My Tanita scales are FABULOUS! And they do tell me my body fat but I do like to know my BMI and my Tanita don't tell me that.

We have started Christmas shopping with a PC for our middle son which I am pleased about because that is one of the main pricier presents sorted :) 3 more to go. I have also started purchasing bits and pieces for Christmas presents.

I am back on track as of tomorrow so I will be back then.

Going Back Over :)

A good so many years ago I lost weight following Weight Watchers and I was well into my routines i.e. housework, exercise and beauty, well, it appears that I am going back over and  I am getting myself back into things again, albeit slowly but it is certainly happening and I LOVE IT!!


I have had a good week tracking my points this week and although I haven't done any exercise DVD's I have been very busy and keeping active with my housework and following my housework rota. I have missed not doing my exercise DVD'S so I am getting back to it next week....YEAH BABY!!

My hubby and sons all went to their talk yesterday evening so I decided to treat myself to some icecream....NO! not dairy icecream...NO! -  I had banana icecream and I used my 'Dessert Bullet' for the first time.


This cost me 5pp - or maybe 4pp - I can't remember whether the caramel topping was 1pp for 2 tablespoons or 2pp for 2 tablespoons but I counted 2pp just to be on the safe side.

I alternated frozen banana (0pp) with 25g of white chocolate chips (3pp) into the feed tube of my 'Dessert Bullet' using the star nozzle, I then topped it off with the caramel sauce....YUMMY! OH MY!
The chocolate chips came out in little bits with most of them stuck in the components of the nozzle so next time I might melt the chocolate drops and drizzle it into the feed shoot with the bananas, hopefully it wont harden before it all gets pushed through the nozzle.

After my shower this evening I decided to give myself a diamond peel, so I rummaged for my diamond peel machine and I done the peel...blissful

Well, apart from doing more housework today that is it, until tomorrow, night night!

Driving, Housework, Food Find

It is still dark in the morning when I wake up...nice! I wake up with my husband; he gets up at around 5.30am....madness! He gets up at that time to get himself sorted because he starts work at 7am - Anyway I was up and at it bright and early and my first port of call was to clean the cats litter tray....isn't that a lovely job to do first thing in the morning?!...NOT! I then wiped down my downstairs loo wall tiles...another lovely job first thing in the morning...YEUK! I then fed and watered the cat and opened the patio doors for her to go into the conservatory where she loves to sit all day, although she isn't going in so much now because it is getting cooler here in the UK.

I then got a beef casserole started in the slow cooker for the hubby and boys evening meal tonight. Hubby and boys are off to a talk tonight about railways and staithes that used to be in the town where we live, and because of the time the talk starts I thought a casserole would be ideal so they can either have it before they go or just have a snack and have the casserole when they get back.

I had done all those jobs before 6.45am....phew!
After doing the above I then jumped under the shower. After my shower I stripped my bed and got the laundry started; I have quite a few loads of laundry to get through today.

This week my youngest son started college and of course I have to drive him there and pick him up which means me going there and back twice a day every day for 3 days a week, but it also means that I don't need to drive him and collect him today and tomorrow, or the weekend of course.

I have been getting stuck into housework this last week also and it feels great. I think the reason I am able to get on with it is because my sons are up and out of bed because of my youngest attending college, now I can make the noise...WooHoo i.e the vacuum etc - I just get on with things....oh! I can hear that a load of laundry has finished so I must go and get it into the tumble dryer and get another load in...I am on a roll, it is only 9.10am.

My food find today:


These work out at 1pp each or 7pp for the whole box. They aren't very big, one skewer is probably under the 1pp but it is always taken to the next highest if it is above 1/2pp.
As you can see I bought them from Iceland for £2 per box.


Here is my evening meal with NO veg...TUT TUT! I was tired so I just oven baked the skewers and then heated a packet of my 'Eat Water' noodles which are 0 points for half a packet but because I had the full packet I like to play it safe so I counted 1pp....probably just 1/2pp but I ain't taking any chances with my points :)

Well that is me for now and if I have anything else to report today then I will certainly get back.

Breakfast, Daily Life, Food Find


I got up bright and early, got showered, dressed etc then made a smoothie; a green smoothie consisting of:
Spinach
Apple
Coconut water.


It was then time to get my youngest son up, fed etc and off to college; he is studying computers....brainy little tike! He really is a computer geek. We always shout on him when we have a computer problem and he always sorts it for us, he amazes me every time!!

When I got back from college I made my smoothie for breakfast consisting of:
1 cup Natural Fat Free Yogurt
1 Banana, frozen
Blueberries

This actually worked out at 4pp, a lot but still 1pp saved from my usual breakfast.


I am now ready to get todays housework done which also includes:
Clean bathroom
Clean downstairs loo
Clean back door glass, patio glass doors and kitchen window, and if I can manage it then the conservatory windows also.
Clean inside 1 kitchen cupboard

My latest food find is Cheese Crackerbread at 1pp each


These are rather nice. I bought them from Asda. Unfortunately I can't remember how much they were.

Oh! I have posted the photo of my latest Weight Watchers haul on my previous blog post.

Okay, that is me for now but I will probably get back later today:)

A Week Ago

I haven't updated for a week....naughty! But here I am now!

I weighed in this morning at 14st 13.5lb and my body fat percentage is down to 48%....WooooHooo - I am SUPER pleased about that!

My hubby popped into the Weight Watchers meeting for me to purchase a few things. He bought me the latest Weight Watchers magazine and a set of Weight Watchers measuring spoons.


I have been looking at the recipe's in the new Weight Watchers magazine and there is one that I intend to make, probably this week, actually there are a few nice recipe's that I may make between now and the next magazine coming out when of course there will be more new recipe's...YUM!

The kids are back to school which is great because the avenue is so much quieter during the day :)

Not a lot to report. It has been quite a pleasant day, the avenue has been quite nice today also. We bought a few groceries and bought a few items from the meeting, done my weigh in and had an afternoon nap, and that is it today.
