Progress to date :) and WI :(

Good News :) :

Here is a ticker of my progress to date including the weight I lost before joining WW and on till now

Its actually better than I thought I had done, I'm happy with my progress to now, I am on track to getting my 10%  sticker with Weight watchers my 3rd silver 7 kind of raging I waited a few weeks before joining WW after I had my lovely little man, as I have them by now! but wanted breastfeeding established before returning to WW

Not so good News :( :

Got my TOTM today and knew I would be up,I was  hoping for a sts or at worst a 0.5 gain, naaa it was a dozy 1.5 gain! thank you body( on checking my card its the exact amount I gain every totm) , I was a little upset because all I needed was a loss of 0.5 and I have had my 10% sticker with WW and 3 pounds to my next 7 pounds off.. but I was a little taken aback when my leader was not to impressed with my gain and said I needed to lose more weight each week and try tracking  better so we can see the weight come down. I'm pretty happy with my progress so far and as I am feeding a baby, the guide lines recommend a loss of a pound a week as any more could effect milk supply and quality. I wouldn't mind I can count the amount of gains I have had on one hand and its still not 5 :) I lose slow and I've learnt to accept that, so a little upset with my leader for not remembering that I am breastfeeding and for making me feel worse, and in front of other people as its not very private in our meeting. also another week she would be telling you how losing slow is better !! insert rolling eye picture!! 

I am planning on chatting to her about it next week as I hadn't enough time today, also going to show her a tracker, so she can see I do stick to the program and write down my exercise so she can see that also and see what she says oh and remind her AGAIN that I am breastfeeding ....

Weigh In update

Another week bites the dust, I am keeping  this up date short and sweet for now, but very happy to report down 1/2 a pound! not bad considering 3 birthday cakes and one house warming with loads of yummy food and drink. but tracked like a mad woman it paid off

Weigh In & Goals, week a head.....

Very happy to report another 1.5 pounds down this week 

Whoo hoo, still on track for May! its 4 weeks since I aimed to lose 1 pound a week till the 19 of May. In total Ive lost 4.5 pounds, so hoping I can continue to lose 1/2 to 1 pound per week till then.

Exercise: I've slacked off a little, after being so sick last week I have found it so hard to get back in to it, still walking and did so some toning and cardio, Think I will take it slow again and get back on track! 

This is going to be a hard week food wise, I have loads on, 3 birthday party's and one housewarming! but helping out with food for that, so hope that will help me stay some what on track. I guess the plan is to prepare,plan my meals and  track! ooh and weeklies yippee for them they will probably be used a lot this week.


So this week I tried two more recipes from my cook book and 10/10 marks from every one

I  made:
Smoked Haddock and potato parcels : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80M3RkWq95A&feature=endscreen&NR=1

Also for my Lovely Mother in law birthday we made:

Strawberry Sponge Layer Cake : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENJ-35U16qw&feature=g-all-f&context=G273e2b4FAAAAAAAAAAA

Well worth a try and I will be making them again.

Cup Cakes

I made some of these last week for two little girls and the Mammy's as well, enjoy!

If you Sin you can't be Thin?????

If you Sin you can't be Thin?????

Would any one out there agree!!

I was watching Operation Transformation to night and one of the leaders had a child's birthday party to go to and we all know how bad they can be! Sweets every were and the Cake!!! now what do you do.....

1. sit there and have nothing at all  
2. Plan to have a small taste that wont take you over your PP

Personally I would chose 2, plan to have a small taste! I do not agree with the saying ''if you sin you cant be thin!!''

Its all about balance, know when to stop or say no or make better choices, if we cut every thing out and try to live with out ever having a ''sin'' again, I think its a set up to failure, no one can live like that long term, so isn't it better to learn how to cope and manage a suituition like a child birthday party, that occurs in all our daily life's.
To me my weight loss is a lifestyle change for the better. being able to have a Little something nice in my mind enables me to continue and maintain my weight loss. also stops me feeling deprived if you feel deprived you will fail. its only so long you can do that for before it all comes crashing down. its all about portion control!

Love to hear what every one else thinks!

Week 5 & 6 Weigh In exercise update......

Week 5:
This week was a good week, still on track and enjoying weight watchers, listening to the radio and in the new bulletin they said this is the week when people on a weight loss plan give up so happy to report I am not part of that group(go me)

So loss this week was:

0.5 pounds 

Exercise Update

lost 3 inches off my waist

was hoping to have another 1 pound loss this week, but I lost 0.5 I was hopping with my exercise I would see better weight loss each week, is that's not what meant to happen!! well in hindsight when I took my measurement again, I was delighted I have been going over my tracker and doing a lot of research in to exercise, weight loss, calories etc and I have been very strict not eating my weeklies and have not been using my activity points either, I think I used less than 10 of my weeklies and I think I may have not eaten enough! plus with feeding a baby the rules change a little normally eat less move more =  weight loss. but not if your feeding you need to make sure you eat enough for the baby and then your body lets go of its fat reserves! so putting that theory to the test and making sure I eat enough!


Treated my self to the new weight watchers Complete kitchen cook book I love it! very impressed have used it lots all ready this week, well worth it but watch this space I will share some recipes in the coming weeks :)

Week 6:

So I did not get to post as much as I wanted to this week, house full of sick children, who passed on their lovely dose to me! but I did do a great 10k walk in the wicklow/ Dublin mountains carrying my 11 month old in a carrier. he weighs about 19 pounds. some work out! we were walking 4 hours, over rough, wet boggy up hill ground. we stopped a bit as well to take in the view and water and fruit break.
but on Monday I was feeling under the weather, so decided to skip my harder work outs doing cardio and resistance. got in a good walk Tuesday and Wednesday I got in a short walk!

So weigh in this week

1& 1/2 pounds

Happy with that and I'm still on target for a pound a week for 19 of May, roll on next week!

Food wise I made some lovely cupcakes pic and recipe to follow! 

Onwards and downwards

Weight Watchers Vegetarian Nachos with Guacamole

I worked my portion out as 12 PP see note at bottom of recipe

Ingredients

1 large red capsicum (pepper), finely chopped
35g packet salt-reduced taco seasoning mix
400g can unsalted red kidney beans, rinsed, drained
400g can crushed tomatoes
1 small avocado, stone removed
1 medium tomato, finely chopped
½ small red onion, finely chopped
1 fresh long red chilli, deseeded, finely chopped
1 tbs lime juice
150g low-fat oven-baked corn chips
2/3cup (80g) Weight Watchers Grated Tasty Cheese

Method

Heat a large oil-sprayed non-stick frying pan over high heat. Cook capsicum, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add seasoning and cook, stirring, until fragrant. Add beans, tomatoes and ½ cup (125ml) water. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes or until sauce has thickened.

Meanwhile, roughly mash avocado in a bowl. Add tomato, onion, chilli and juice. Stir to combine and then set aside.

Preheat grill. Divide corn chips into flameproof serving bowls. Cover with bean mixture and sprinkle with cheese. Grill until the cheese melts. Top with guacamole and serve immediately.

Serving suggestion: Add a 0 POINTS value green salad. Dress with 2 teaspoons each of olive oil and balsamic vinegar and allow 1 ProPoints value per serve.

TIP: Finely chop a few sprigs of fresh coriander leaves and stir through your guacamole for more zesty flavour.

Important note! 

I used the Taco shells for my portion they worked out as 2 for 5 pp much better than the nacho's I got for 7 per 50g, I didn't use the ww cheese, just normal low fat cheese I also added mince to the recipe after I took out my portion so if you do that adjust the PP
