I bought a new cookbook the other week which has some great recipes in it hope to try them all eventually :)

Hi All , Well weight day today and I am happy to say another loss of 1.4 kg YEYYYY so on my way next wk hopefully I will crack the 5 kg mark :) and then week after hopfully no longer be in the 90's :)

Eating wise was ok this week wasn't as orgainsed as planned to be with menus so plan on getting my butt into gear and do it tomorrow for the next 7 days.

I have a bone to pick with my mother she dropped off the kids Santa Chocolate stockings x3 that we left at their place at Xmas so you can imagine I had a fridge full of chocolate AGHHHHHH, I managed to have will power and sucummed to only two freddos over two days and normally I would have spaced the kids eating it all but I just let them go for it so it was all gone in a hurry :)

Brad Lost another kg this week so he is happy all this healthy eating is doing him good lol , He said to today that he can't get over how much energy he has from no longer eating all the crap :)

Well Today as you all know was D day aka Weigh in day :) and I am happy to report a great loss of 2 kg YEYYYY as you can tell I am very happy so heres hoping my loss continues at great speed ! I had a blow out yesterday by accident I didn't track till the afternoon and forgot a few things I had eaten so when I added it all up with my saved points I was over by 4 luckily all was good scale wise so from now on I am strictly tracking as I go lol.

We had yummy Chicken stroganoff with rice for tea and normally would not eat mushrooms but the dish would not be the same without them so I put them in so I cut them up tiny :P it was soo yummy so will definatley have it again.

It was Brads Birthday today so we had mud cake as desert he wanted cheesecake shop cake/cheesecake but nothing there is under 8 points a slice with most being the 12-14 point mark Gasp!!! so Coles creme mud cake it was and 5 points a slice , I was very good today so I did not miss out on birthday cake and I savored every morsel lol .

Well I survived my first week on WW , the first few days were hard as is normal when no longer eating crap loads of junk so my body is now used to eating less so its allot easier and I am not so hungry between meals. So on and forward I say :).

Well 3 days in and I am coping better than I thought I would went and got grocery's today and surprisingly healthy food did not cost the earth mind you I did not have much meat as Brad pointed out healthy gets exy when you have to buy extra lean cuts of meat mince etc and since I only brought chicken will see when I get the meat later in the week.

We had this awesome pasta dish for dinner recipe out of the 5 min meals WW cook book it was supposed to have smoked salmon but since kids and brad don't eat it I changed the fish to smoked chicken breast and added semi dried tomatoes gosh it was yummy here is the recipe I had to rework the points total out since I changed the recipe .

Ingredients ~

375 g of Fresh Fettachini
50-60 g of Semi Dried Tomatoes ( 97% fat free version from woollies Deli )

3. Boil and cook pasta for 2 min

Stir sauce through pasta and serve with a sprinkle of chopped chives ,
Serves 4.

POINTS VALUE per serve 6

Easy peasy super quick and the kids loved it,

I gave Kids and Brad each a piece of bread to go with it :) as it wouldn't quite feed all 5 of us without the bread with it so next time I will buy an extra packet of pasta and take a third out and freeze the rest.

Another bonus of this whole diet is that I am actually cooking from cookbooks no more having the same old meals all the time so its actually quite fun picking something to cook for the next night I actually look forward to dinner :)

Well Thought I should do a blog to help motivate me on my weight loss journey.
I started Weight Watchers on Thursday due to the fact as seeing Xmas photos really gave me a kick up the bum , so its now time to get rid of all the weight having 4 children close together has stacked on my body :( also I am starting to suffer some health probs because of the excess weight ie I am tired all the time not good when I have 4 kids to run after. also my Varicose veins are getting worse and the more I get the harder its going to be to get rid of them down the track I also get out of breath very easy loosing the weight is going to be a winner all round.

I am hoping to get down to 65 kg before this xmas I will update progress pictures after each 10 kg loss.
I am currently on the Weight Watchers Breastfeeding programme so hopefully I can continue to loose weight and it won't affect my milk supply.
My Partner Brad is also doing my weight loss journey with me as he too has stacked on some weight over the years so it will be great to loose weight together that and it will save me from cooking different meals each night.

so its here I say goodbye to coles mudcake , cheesecake and my fave tripple choc fudge cookies " drool " I am a huge sweet tooth and its because of this I have basically had a weight problem since my teen years so junk has been banned from the house If its not there I will not be tempted by it lol .
