And I'm back on track....

So after last week's confession in my post which you can see HERE you will know that I was going to start afresh. Well, that didn't really happen until Tuesday.

And although I had found out that M&S do some lovely WW approved foods such as these that I had on Saturday. The Chow mein was only 7pp and the yogurt was 2pp

Mr O and I decided to go out for one last meal on the Sunday to a place that we had only been to once before (7 Diner / Hotel in Polehill)

So I sat and enjoyed my chicken burger and chips....

But couldn't finish my massive milkshake which was peanut butter flavour...

So I then picked myself up again and I went to class on Monday only to find out that surprise surprise I had GAINED 2lbs over those 2 weeks of very naughty eating. But, as Mr O said, that isn't too bad as I had eaten out pretty much everyday, and sometimes twice a day! So the weigh in chart now looks like this:

Week 1 - 5 1/2 lbs

Week 2 - 1/2lb

Week 3 - 3lbs

Week 4 - ?

Week 5 + 2lbs    :(

The next morning my leader texted me to see how I was going to reclaim control again this week... It made me think and made me just move on.

I then found this little motivational card thing....

The YOU CAN DO IT part has stuck in my head all week....

So I got back on track this week and have enjoyed my food so much.

I have found out about the love for Over Night Oats that everyone has... (You can find the recipe here)

I have fixed my smoothie maker and started making smoothies again to have throughout the day to keep me filled up

 

Oh and this was this morning's one....

I have been trying to make my lunches much more exciting...

As well as the snacks / dessert that went with them....

  

And as you can see I tried the WW pasta pot - I wont be having it again as it was vile!!

And because I actually had time at home this week I managed to cook more interesting meals (after having them all planned out at the beginning of the week....

One night the meal plan had to go out the window as I had a massive craving for Eggy bread and bacon. But, because of the beauty of WW I was still able to have it!

I also tried one of the WW Marinades and made a fake away - Fake Chinese - it was scrummy and really filling.

I have also enjoyed eating more fruit and desserts! Like this baked banana (you can find the recipe or how to make it here ) and the other is melon (only £1 in Lidl atm!)

  

I have tried to show what I have been eating by sharing it on Instagram (follow me on Missemm4 ) I was inspired by someone on the WW page on Facebook who always posts what she has eaten that day which to me is a great way of being a visual memory of what you have eaten that day and that you have actually eaten alot!

Oh and lastly the other purchase I made at class was this packet of chocolate bar things - and they are so yummy - I will definitely be buying them again on Monday night!

Oh, and eating out this week?... I took it in a breeze - I've only eaten out once this week and that was to the Harvester with some ex work colleagues - I planned exactly what I was going to have the night before by checking it all out in my Eating Out guide which really helped me choose wisely - I even had enough points for a dessert!!

So this week I feel like I have done really well in picking myself back up again and that I feel proud of myself on how I have done.

What have you done this week to make yourself feel proud?....

Over night oats

Well, this may look disgusting but it is actually soooo yummy.... And if you are anything like me in the morning, I run around getting ready and trying to make breakfast at the same time like a headless chicken. But this I have found to be a great time saver for me.....

Ingredients...

1 banana
Any fruit of your choice for toppings
Oats - 35g
Yogurt - less than 200g (about 8 tbsps - but still weigh it)

Now you can use the above quantities to either make one big breakfast for 5pp or split it into 2 Tupperware boxes to make 2 normal sized breakfasts for 3pp each.

Also, just so you know, you might need to check the propoints of your own yogurt as each one is different. Some people also use Greek yogurt instead or an actual WeightWatchers yogurt or similar.... I use this one from Lidls....

Oh and I use these oats from Lidls too..

So here is what you do....

1. Mash the banana

2. Add the oats, yogurt and the mashed banana altogether

3. Mix together and add the fruits as well and mix. 

Or you could just mix it and then add the fruit on top...

Leave overnight in the fridge for it all to soak in together and then enjoy the next morning cold.... Yes that's right, cold. At first I was like 'that is a disgusting idea' but then as soon as I had my first mouthful I was in love with it!

In the morning, sit back, eat and enjoy!

Blueberries or any other fruit you wish to accompany it with

What to do....

Well it's rather easy no need to really explain you literally do this.....

Layer it up like a sandwich!! 

Enjoy! 

Love, Mrs O x
