Fat Club #4! Egg-white Omelettes

And the winner of the Slimmer Of The Century Award goes to………….

Ok not yet – but I am rather pleased with myself. Another 1.5lb off. That’s a loss of 8.5lb in 3weeks

Week 1– 5lb off

Week 2 – 2lb off (7lb total – so half a stone which meant I got a shiny number 7 sticker!)

Week 3 – 1.5lb off

Next week I want to lose at least 1.5lb as 1.5lb off will take me to my next target – having lost 5% of my weight. That’s a good first goal!

This week my saving grace has been egg white omlettes. Egg white is point free (though any oil you use to cook with isn’t remember!) and whipped up makes pretty much the same consistency omelette as a full egg does and tastes lovely. It’s be a majorly hectic week and when you’re busy you tend to “grab” something to eat and don’t always choose most sensibly but an egg-white omlette is quick, filling and low on points so you can play about more with fillings, accompaniments and puds!

*Don’t waste the yolks – I add milk and a full egg to mine and Roy uses that for scrambled egg or an omelette of his own.

My favourite fillings for the omelettes this week have been extra light soft cheese & chives with chopped wafer thin ham and for a real cheesy sticky treat, a low cal (processed) cheese slice with lots of mushrooms!

I hope everyone else has had a good week – and if anyone has any recipes or quick fixes like my egg-white omelette they want to share- please do!! The more to choose from, the easier it is to stay motivated!

Be My Fashion Wheel!

Do you remember this? It was fantastic – you could choose your head, top, skirt/dress/shoes – so many combinations, then colour and cut out your creations. I need a fashion wheel, a real one!

I am 28 years old, married and a lucky mum of two gorgeous boys. I work for myself at home, have a fab husband and all is good! Over the past 12 years I have gained so much – unfortunately I seem to have lost or at least temporarily misplaced my sense of style! And I want it back.

Anyone who regularly reads this blog knows I’m on a bit of a reinvention road. I’m at Weight Watchers and am doing well, have picked up the exercise, had my hair all thinned out and feel great for it. Unfortunately – the body isn’t the problem anymore – it’s the clothing! For too long I have worn shapeless, colourless clothing, flat clumpy shoes and well…. looked crap! Don’t get me wrong – everything I currently own is tidy and symmetrical…. rather than scraggy and filled with holes, but thats the best thing I can say about my wardrobe. Seriously, my wardrobe just needs emptying out, next job on my list is to rent a Man and Van and have a big clearout!

Where do I start? I want to be a yummy mummy! I’ve made the first step myself and ditched my faithful but hideous and falling to pieces walking boots and bought some fab boots, low heels, higher heels, ankle boots and mid calf boots. Well it’s a start, fashionable feet!

I need a Gok, a walking fashion wheel…. something. Someone to help me!!! (And ideally someone who can win the lottery for me first as my clothing budget is about as substantial as an ice-cream during a heatwave!). I’m so out of touch fashion-wise I don’t know where to start, only to say I don’t do strappy and the last time I wore a dress I was getting married!

This is a serious one for me actually, for all the silly words. I am sick of looking like a scragbag – so I’m going to try and get out there and find my Fashion Wheel! If you a Fashion Wheel looking for a home, or a person/company who would do a good imitation and likes a challenge – pass them this post link!
