Day 5 of ww, day 2 back at work since signing up.
This certainly forces a level of discipline doesn't it? I have menu planned for the whole week including lunches, and can see that I will have to continue doing so. So easy to just pick up some sausages on the way home from work - but no longer.
As I'm new I've been mostly cooking stuff from the WW literature where the points have been calculated, but can see I shall have to branch out. As Hell.. suggests, Hairy Bikers may be the way to go. I have, quite coincidentally, cooked some of their diet stuff in the past and it has been really good. Quite a lot of the WW stuff is basically tinned tomatoes with veg. Perfectly tasty but could get a bit dull. I'll start mixing it up a bit next week.
I was pleased with the weekly points at the weekend though as I had plenty of wine (and gin!) and still have points left.
When I signed up I was toying with the idea of not telling DH, to see if he noticed I was losing weight (she says hopefully). But as I do all the cooking I thought I'd better tell him because of course he'll be affected. And he's really enjoying it too. On Sunday we had venison steak (reduced in Waitrose!), roast potatoes and beans and a bottle of red wine and it really didn't make much of a dent in the weekly points. So we are both pleased with the treats available. He's a skinny bugger so he can rush out for a Mars Bar if he wants one.
Work snacks OK so far. I now have a fruit bowl in my office, and have had a rice cake with peanut butter for elevenses both days.
I know it is early days but I can do this. I gave up smoking I can bloody do this!
