I had my second weigh in since starting back on the Weight Watchers plan yesterday and have now lost a total of 5lbs in two weeks. I was a little disappointed to only lose 2lbs in my first week back but I already ate pretty well before heading back to class and still used skimmed milk and ate a high protein and vegetable based diet so the changes were not as extreme for me as some other people joining for the first time. 5lbs is a pretty decent loss and and I've enjoyed getting back on track and eating plenty of tasty food.
This is what I ate on Sunday, I tend to have a more relaxed approach on the weekends and eat more 'treat' type foods and have a late brunch. I also ate some cherries and a peach which aren't photographed.
Brunch - Baked beans, mushrooms, bacon medallions and egg. All Filling and healthy, no counting.
Lunch - crumpets, Nutella (1 of 2 daily treats) fruit, water.
Tea with skimmed milk, WW bar (2 of 2 daily treats)
My evening meal was so tasty but simple to cook so I thought I would share the recipe:
Serves 2 - 420 calories - 2 of your 5 a day
Ingredients:
- 200g 2 x Salmon fillets
- 400g Canned mixed beans, drained
- 227g Canned chopped tomatoes
- 20g Fresh coriander, finely chopped
- 1 Red chilli, finely chopped
Method:
- In a bowl combine the black beans and tomatoes.
- Stir in coriander, chilli and salt.
- Pan fry Salmon for 3 or 4 minutes on each side to thoroughly cooked.
- Serve salmon with salsa and a green salad.
I started counting points again this week after two weeks on the simple start plan. I'm going to mix it up so some days I will count points and other follow the Filling & Healthy plan. Hoping for another solid loss of around 2lbs this week.
