And… another 1.5lb off (hooray!) making my total loss in 4 weeks… a whopping 10lb.
Getting to 13st 4lb today also got my 5% award, which consisted of a 5% sticker and a smiley with a clowns hat sticker. After having these stuck onto the front of my weigh-in record card, my day was complete! The next target for me is 1st off and to achieve that I need to lose another 4lb so I’m aiming for 2 weeks for that. Heres hoping!!
Highlights of this week:
Moving to notch 4 on my belt (I was at notch 2 when I started Weight Watchers 4 weeks ago)
Being motivated enough to walk the “long” way round on the school runs – ok, it’s only about 200m different one way but that’s 800m a day on school runs alone.
Buying a DRESS, yes a DRESS (the last one I wore was very white and came with a veil!)
My husband telling me I look gorgeous and he’s really proud of my weight loss so far.
I’m nowhere near my target yet but keep reading- I’ll get there and there will be a hell of a party when I do!
If you have a child at school or starting school this year, or ever visit any parenting forums online you will no doubt hear parents complain about packed lunches and what to put in them. Schools are quite prescriptive about not allowing certain foods/sweets etc (most of which I agree with), but it can make finding new things to put in the boxes more difficult.
Luckily I just happened to have the kettle on when these arrived!
When I was asked if Kieran would like to test the new Fruit & Oat slices I thought these would be ideal, and I wasn’t wrong! These are a filling snack, packed wuith fibre and each snack contains the equivilent of one portion of fruit. Healthly info aside, they really are delicious.
Obviously being Kieran’s Mum I had to test at least one bar first to make sure they were of the usual quality you’d expect from Fabulous Bakin’ Boys – and I am happy to report they are (luckily as well as being yummy these are also only 4 points on Weight Watchers (strawberry ones) so my mini-gorge wasn’t at all naughty although it felt pretty indulgent!).
Taste Test Child #1: Kieran loved these, he calls them his “grown up cereal bars” and they have taken pride of place in his packed lunch. Cereal bars are accepted snacks in packed-lunches but I find them so dry! These are anything but, being moist yet still firm.
Taste Test Child #2: Roy (yes the long-suffering husband) has also nabbed a few slices for his packups! I thought these would be a bit small for him but he assures me not, although for those who would like to see a bigger slice, these are being launched in the strawberry and apple flavours in the near future.
Mums Test: Well they taste great, are convenient, aren’t overly costly (£1 for 5 slices as an introductory price, rising to £1.49 for 5 slices, still being cheaper than many branded cereal bars), and have additional health benefits so it’s a big thumbs up from me.
My only problem with them…. keeping them in the cupboard long enough to make it into the lunch boxes!!
