Week one down...

Good morning! After a chilly start to this morning, we’re in for a lovely 27C.  Monday’s are my weigh in days...
~
A bit of what I ate over the weekend...I stuck to healthy snacks and fruit between meals.  Pears are lovely at the moment, grapes too.  Gus cooked chops on the barby and made a potato and sweet potato bake which was done in chicken stock so no fat included. Tasty!
~
I was very naughty and had way too much wine on Saturday night - I paid for it all day Sunday.  Gus cooked these delicious ribs in his smoker...
~
My Vegepod is full and overflowing!  I pulled out the peas at the back as they were being squashed and overshadowed by the cucumbers and I may even pull out two cukes too. They’re just too overpowering! I hVe a strawberry flower at last! The tomato is at the top of the pod so not sure what to do there!?

A tiny Leb cucumber!

Here are those ribs. He’s in the learning stage.  They were tasty but I think over done as far as tenderness and juicyness go.  They look burnt but thats just the marinade and 6 hours of smoking in hickory.  Still yummy!
~
Snack prep for this morning - 75gms salsa is 1 smart point and the carrot is zero...
~
To be prepared is the key!  I just need to keep telling myself that.
~
Sardines in springwater are zero points...
~
Bread is obviously a big point item, two slices are 5 points then add a point each for the sauces for a total of 7.  That is a big breakfast that will take me through to lunch with no problem.  I won’t have toast every morning.  Two egg ommelette with veggies is a zero point breakfast.

I walked 3 km this morning and really enjoyed it.

  1. Sounds like you’re doing really well, definitely agree with you that preparation is one of the keys. I can’t wait for our spring to arrive, we’re due a really cold snap this coming week xx

  3. Hi Joolz,
    I love your vegi pod, I am just in the process of feeding and replanting mine, I will stick to herbs this time around I think. I once grew the most magnificent parsley in it and aim to do that again. All your food this past week has looked so wonderful, really fresh and inviting.
