After Sat night

After pigging out Sat night and being a bit excessive with eating on Sat (turns out I have some sort of cold thingy at the moment that is making me hungry), I decided to make up some of that points free soup to claw back some points.

I made the standard soup and then decided to build it up a bit. I added a can of refried beans to the soup. This has 2 effects, firslty i makes for a slightly thicker soup as the RB spread through the soup. Secondly it adds some protein to the mix and that helps stave off hunger a bit longer. The second thing i added was a (small) handful of oversize couscous. This supplies a bit of carb that also makes the soup stave off hunger for a little while longer. I also added some basil but that just makes it taste good.

The end result is not a points free soup but still a relatively low points soup. I will probably get four or five serves out of it but at 2 or 3 at most points a serve it will still help me claw back 5 or so points a meal.

BTW Tastes pretty damn fine after all that as well.

Not expecting a good result tonight as this is my off week in my 2 week cycle.

Help!

Help! I am starting to get really big sweet tooth urges. I’m not sure why it would start ~ 5 months into the program, but I am having great difficulty walking past, for eg, the lolly stand at the newsagency in the student union. I have managed to resist so far, but I can feel the will weakening.

Is it a function fo the colder weather? Any tips? I’m starting to sweat like a junkie needing their next hit whenever I walk past… large jaffas… TPTCTF… argh!

new program details anyone?

Can someone give a precis of the meeting on Monday night since I missed it? I am eager to hear the new low carbs thing as I think it might be the key to my own weight loss.

I really didn’t want to miss the meeting – despite ‘bad’ week last week due to too much takeaway and stress trying to get my penultimate masters presentation together. But we have had two lots of friends over from the states and much socialising has been happening. I have really been making sure I get a walk in almost everyday which is mitigating some of the damage I hope….

Protein

So what did everyone think about the ‘new’ program?

I am looking at the meat fest we called Steamboat bookclub had at my place in a whole new light. BY WW standards it was a correct protein heavy minimal carbs meal.
