I have already talked about being able to fit into smaller clothes and how good this feels, and only today I was in front of a mirror when I was out and thought to myself “Wow, I’m looking good!” well, for an old bloke, but this got me to thinking more and more about whereContinue reading “How do you measure up?”

Thursday is Fat Club/Group therapy/Weight Watchers, trust me these are not derogatory terms just what us in group say. My Thursday looks a little this, get boy to school, swim, shop, scales and then home. I love Thursday, well then I’m on it and losing weight. A year ago 29 April 2023, I had anContinue reading “Swimming for Mac & Cheese”

As we edge ever nearer to Christmas we often think back over the year, and with today being the last weigh-in of the year, I wanted to take a look at my progress. The year started following Weight Watchers (WW) which I had restarted with a swift boot up my arse back in February 2022,Continue reading “Closing out the Year”

If you have ever been to a weight related group then I’m sure will have heard someone get off the scales and say “only one….” whether that’s on or off, it seems to be a negative, and I think we need to address that. I have had my fair share of “only only”‘s in myContinue reading “Only one…”

Everyone has a toaster, a sandwich maker, slowContinue reading “I love to a Gadget – Steak Slice”

Normally my blogs are centred around a recipe, but as I have been mainly cooking Pinch of Nom and they are from cookbooks and the website, I don’t feel I can pass it off as my own, but I will leave you a link to the curry I have made today, which was just soContinue reading “What a different focus can make!”

This week I have made three new dishes from Pinch of Nom, which have really helped my diet focus. We started with a new Jambalaya, then I made a Chicken Dopiaza with Cumin potatoes and last a classic Beef Bourguignon. However, rather than focus on one of those, I wanted to pay tribute to anContinue reading “Turkey Ham & Sweetcorn Bake – An oldie but a goodie!”

So going to Weight Watchers as long as I have, you have heard people talk about different diets and to be honest WW works for me when I follow it. My issue is when I don’t follow the sat nav thinking I know the way, getting completely lost only to find out I went 50Continue reading “Campfire Stew – Take a Pinch of this and a Pinch of Nom.”
