Unscathed

So I have made it through week one in one, just as wide but more positive piece. I have eaten better this week than I have... possibly ever. And I feel great for it.

Weight Watchers is incredibly easy and I've decided to stick with what I know works for me so I'm now in it for the long haul. I've registered online (going to a meeting and discussing my flab whilst going through the general torture of getting rid of it? I'll pass thanks!) and I have been hunting their website and the general interweb all weekend for recipes to try.

One thing I really want to get into is mass cooking and freezing food. The two things against me on that are my dire cooking skills and my tiny freezer. Alas, I gave it a go last night and cooked a Quorn Chilli (I'm not veggie but there is a very good reason why someone like me leaves cooking meat to the experts!). It went well.

Did I just say that?

Aside from harassing the socks off of a friend with everything from how to cut up an onion (it didn't come with instructions?) to what I do when I realise that the wok I used doesn't have the lid needed for the part where I simmer - it went okay. It's too spicy though, I suppose you might say it kinda hurt but I'm hoping a day in the fridge for the batch I'm having tonight and some rice will improve it. I was gutted when I tasted it but I could see others liking it, which, in my book is a success. Photos to come later.

My cross trainer arrives tonight and I am looking forward to using it for the first time. That won't last. Hopefully my motivation will.

First official weigh in this morning (courtesy of the lady on reception at work and her trusty scales), I shall report back with the damage.
